South Korean actor Jin Goo recently shared his thoughts on his rising popularity following the KBS hit drama "Descendants of the Sun." In the 16-episode drama, the 36-year-old star portrayed Sergeant Major Seo Dae-Young aka Wolf.
On Oct. 22, Saturday, Korea's Grazia magazine released Jin's recent pictorial for its November issue. In the accompanying interview, he was asked about how "Descendants of the Sun" affected his life.
"While it's true that it was something to be happy and thankful for, I didn't boast about it at all, or say things like, 'You see this? This is how famous I am'," Jin replied earnestly, as cited by Soompi. "I still can't believe [how much love I received.]"
Jin goes ahead to say that he realizes that love and fame are momentary. Knowing that memorizing lines and overnight filming will be more difficult as he gets older, Jin stated that he only wants to be able to act for a really long time if possible.
It can be recalled Jin previously admitted that he had never received much love and interests from the public before. He then gushes about how surprised he was to be recognized by individuals from different countries.
According to Jin, it appears as though that he is getting another opportunity to start anew. He stressed, "I admit that I'm really elated because this is my first time to receive such a hot response."
Meanwhile, Jin will star next in MBC's "Night Light" along with Lee Yo-Won, After School's Uee and Jung Hae-In. He will play a handsome and smart man, Park Gun-Woo, who is the successor to the large corporation Moojin.
"Night Light" held its first script reading on Sept. 27 at the MBC Broadcasting Station in Sangam, South Korea, Han Cinema reported. Other stars include Jung Hae-In, Jeon Kuk-Hwan, Jung Han-Yong, Lee Jae-Yong and Yoon Bok-In. More details about the drama will be revealed soon.
"Night Light" is intended to hit airwaves on Nov. 21. Check out the video below for more information:
