From Screen to Pages: Kim Seon Ho Proves His Versatility in New Cover for Esquire
The 34-year-old actor Kim Seon Ho has been busy working with a lot of projects these days. One of his previous work was with Esquire Korea, wherein he sat down for a photoshoot and an interview.
This is his first ever advertisement in his acting career. Initially, he shared about his experience doing the magazine shoot, "I was really nervous, yet I am grateful that it ended up successfully."
He explained, "I was firm at first that I thought my neck was going to break, but after some trial, I became more comfortable during the shoot." Seon Ho said that the cause of his nervousness is because it was his first time meeting advertisers.
As he continued, Seon Ho talked about his ongoing drama "Start-Up", saying that he chose the role because he was a fan of previous drama by writer Park Hye Ryun and its director Oh Choong Wan. He shared that the thought of being included in a project with talented people like the abovementioned writer and director made him nervous.
He added that he was amazed by how the script was written so beautifully, as if it's a fairytale, yet looking realistic. The actor then wished to be part of the masterpiece, as he called it.
Kim Seon Ho also revealed that he gets excited every time he watches the show (Yes, you read it right. He is also watching it!). He mentioned that, at times, he feels like he actually lives in Sandbox (which is the fictional setting of 'Start-Up').
He continued by sharing his personal experience while doing the drama, saying, "I have become immersed, that sometimes it makes my heart race, so by simply watching the drama gives me a driving force to continue working hard."
The one doing the interview mentioned that some actors don't like watching their own dramas, later then Seon Ho replied, "I was not able to watch my own dramas before. But, I noticed that my face looked weird,my facial expressions and tone seemed a little awkward, and I did not seem to fit in with the other characters. To be honest, I still do not like my acting. Although, sometimes, if my acting looks exaggerated, I can figure out which part was too much and try my best to improve."
Seon Ho went onsharing that he should never lose composure as an actor. "I might be unable to show the essence of a specific scene if I become hyper or even feeling down in filming. That is why I always try to maintain being compose and relaxed, in that case, watching my own performances (in dramas) help me identify what I need to avoid and in what part I should improve" he said.
"I'm still learning, and monitoring my actions is necessary to make progress," he added.
When the interviewer complimented about his natural good looks, Kim Seon Ho insisted and said "Honestly, I'm not really handsome," but the interviewer convinced him that he is really good looking, the actor added, "No, well, although I am very grateful that you say that. For me, Nam Joo Hyuk is someone who is really attractive. The first time I saw him, I thought he came out from a Manhwa (Korean comic book)."
In his massive popularity, Kim Seon Ho said, "Because of my busy schedule these days, I don't really feel the response. But, when directors, senior actors, and friends contact me to say I'm doing well, it's really heart-fluttering and I feel grateful about it."
