Usually, I'm attracted by screenplays that stir my curiosity. I try to ask myself why the writer wants to tell this story.

Curiosity

More quotes by Gong Yoo

But if there’s something you gain, there’s also something you can lose. Therefore, I try not to showcase my personal life.

I tend to pick projects that give me a sense of freshness. So my filmography, especially after hitting my 30s, has become a lot more diverse.

As long as you have a television screen or a streamer, we are living in an era where we can connect and enjoy any content from any place around the world very easily.

I think an actor's filmography represents the direction and the course of the acting that an actor has pursued. I'm filling in my filmography to let people know who I am and how I see the world as an actor.

In the perspective of the audience, the movies that make me think are the most precious. I want to naturally be projected onto the film or role. From there, applying my tendencies and emotions is what I believe is the most natural way for actors to tell a story.
