Kim Seon Ho Winning Hearts Of The Many

He humbly said, "I wonder if it's a dream or real life,"  and shared that he will do an excellent job from now on.

On the question of how his character Han Ji Pyeong stole viewers' hearts, Kim Seon Ho shared that he thinks viewers took pity on him at first because he's an orphan, and there's also his story with grandmother Choi Won Deok (Kim Hae Sook). "He seems stiff, but he also has a soft side," he added.

Furthermore, Kim Seon Ho shared that he also fell for Han Ji Pyeong when he quickly stepped in to help Nam Do San (Nam Joo Hyuk). He said that he admired Han Ji Pyeong's manners, not because he thought Han Ji Pyeong was cool.

Becoming More Mature From Military Service

Moreover, during the interview, Kim Seon Ho reflected on his past behavior and revealed that he became more mature after returning from his military service. 

He recalled that he was a training assistant, so he had to meet and counsel many different people. He went on that if there were any issues with the trainees, their vacations would be cut. 

"It was the assistant's job to do their best to counsel them and make sure there weren't any problems. However, there were a lot of people who were going through tremendous hardships. When I listened to their stories, my worries felt like nothing," he expressed.

Currently, Kim Seon Ho is acting in the play "Ice," which premiered on January 8.
