Bae Hyun Sung revealed that he received invaluable lessons from working with actor Han Suk Kyu. I had a lot of meaningful conversations from daily stories at meals toprints before filming with my seniors. The set itself is a great opportunity to learn, and I am very grateful and happy that Han Suk Kyu often encourages and compliments me.
Actress Lee Re also expressed her admiration for the veteran actor Han. I really like talking to my seniors about our favorite movies and songs. We also discussed how to keep our love for acting, and those words became a great source of encouragement. Through those conversations, I understand more about myself.
