Recently, actor Heo Nam Jun had an interview with Korean media after the movie "My Royal nemesis" starring him ended with an rating of 11.8%.
My Royal Nemesis" is a romantic film revolving around the unknown actress Shin Seo Ri (Lim Ji Yeon) - who is possessed by the soul of a notorious evil woman from the Joseon era, with Cha Se Gye (Heo Nam Jun) - a cruel tycoon dubbed the "monster of capitalism".
When asked what audience reaction he missed most, Heo Nam Jun shared: "Comments like'This guy is completely not my taste, but why do I always feel so bothered?','Just keep paying attention to him' made me very happy.
I am an actor, so it is a great feeling that through acting, audiences who don't like people like me start paying attention to me.
Notably, Heo Nam Jun said that the role model he is aiming for is Kim Moo Yeol - the actor who is causing a global fever with the movie "Life's Lesson". The two once co-starred in Netflix's "Sweet Home" parts 2 and 3.
Heo Nam Jun praised Kim Moo Yeol: "The famous senior is very interested in even the smallest extras on set.
When filming Sweet Home, even though he was a supporting actor he met for the first time, he also spent time getting acquainted in the waiting room, bought ice cream for them and said: Come in here, let's play together. He is very caring about others.
Not only that, he is also well-behaved with his family. He really has all the good qualities. I think he is living a life that I imagine is the life of a good person. And he also works very well, truly perfect.
After completing "My Royal Nemesis", Heo Nam Jun will participate in tvN's new movie called "Whale Star". With an appearance considered to be similar to the original, the actor is receiving many expectations from fans of the original series.
He shared about his new role: "I feel pressured to do it well. The certain thing is that the new character is much more mature than Cha Se Gye. He has quite a strong attraction, not an impulsive person like an uncontrolled train but a mature person.
The common point between the two characters is that they both carry injuries, and that is what makes them attractive.
Also in the interview, reporters mentioned the dating rumors of Heo Nam Jun with Hong Yi Seol - the actress who played the secretary in "My Royal Nemesis".
Hearing this, Heo Nam Jun replied humorously: "At first I found that very funny. I never thought I would be rumored to be dating her. Dating rumors are already strange to me, but I also find it interesting because it turns out people can also attribute me in this way.
I wondered: What do we have in common with her? Turns out I also have dating rumors. Even when the press reported, I thought: So I've also succeeded, to the point of dating rumors.
