With only four-episode left until "Hwarang: The Beginning" comes to an end, actor Do Ji-Han recently got real about what it is really like to film a nude scene for the historical drama. In the show, he plays Park Ban-Ryu, one of the most powerful men in the Kingdom of Silla.
Earlier this week, the 25-year-old actor sat down for an interview with the local media and shared his honest thoughts about what it is like to work with actors Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung Sik, Cho Yoon Woo, SHINee's Minho, and BTS's Kim Taehyung (V). The actors spent six months filming for the historical drama together and have kept in touch since then.
"Our friendship strengthened rapidly after the shower scene," Soompi quoted Do as saying before a group of local media. "We even went drinking together afterward."
Do went ahead to say that the group shower scene really cemented their close bond. Revealing their bodies to each other in said nude scene helped them become close and comfortable with each other, he added.
The scene being referred to showed the six main actors showering in the communal baths when the heroine Ah-Ro (Go Ara) accidentally walked in. The toned bodies of the cast left viewers in awe.
At the time of the interview, the show's lead male actor arrived in Los Angeles to attend the "Tommy Hilfiger Spring/Summer 2017" fashion show. He is the first Asian male model to be the face of the said fashion brand.
Seo Joon, who gained widespread fame from 2015's "She Was Pretty," fits well with the simple and dandy image that the Tommy Hilfiger desires, a representative from the fashion brand told All Kpop. It added, "We look forward to the synergy that 'Tommy Hilfiger' will create with Park Seo Joon, who's a trending actor with great popularity and influence in the Asian market."
