• Channel A interview with actor Hong Jong-hyun as Cha Min-wook in the Saturday drama "I Have a Baby."

Actor Hong Jong-hyun showed a brilliant presence even in the urgent situation of alternative input.

Recently, Hong Jong-hyun conducted a round interview to commemorate the end of the Channel A Saturday-Sunday drama "I Have a Baby" (played by So Hae-won/directed by Kim Jin-sung) at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

"I Have a Baby" is a back-running romantic comedy about two men and women who said they had no marriage in their lives, based on web novels and webtoons of the same name.

Hong Jong-hyun played Cha Min-wook, a unicorn male friend who has been standing by Jang Hee-won (played by Oh Yeon-seo) for 15 years in the play, and who ignited a triangular romance. In particular, the character's straight forward love and friendly and upright side were played by Hong Jong-hyun's own acting, which excited viewers.

Hong Jong-hyun said, "It was fun to shoot a bright genre drama for the first time in a long time, and I watched it with that feeling. In the case of "Dear X", if there was a long time to think about it on the spot, this drama was filmed and watched in a pleasant mood," he said.

"I Have a Baby" was originally scheduled to feature actor Yoon Ji-on in the role of Cha Min-wook, but it became vacant after he got off on charges of drunk driving and theft.

Hong Jong-hyun, who was put in this position, confessed, "Some people may hate this story because I didn't actually have anything to do with it, but it's true that I didn't have long time to think about it." It's not that I'm ugly and I'm good, but if another actor acts, doesn't it look different. I worked with the idea of working hard with the character I interpreted. Sometimes actors are replaced in the middle, and I was glad that it wasn't such a situation," he said with a smile.

"The staff were bright, positive, and the atmosphere was good on the spot," he said. "I thought (the staff) would create a better atmosphere because I was in the middle and couldn't adjust, but later I found out that it was that tension originally. I was most worried about whether I could fit well in the structured structure, and I think that was the biggest concern for the director."

"What I thought was fortunate was that I had appeared as a cameo in the drama 'Player' before, and the director of Team B directed 'I Have a Baby'. At that time, I also worked with Yeonseo. At that time, we talked about, "I really hope we can try it together later," and he showed a positive attitude, saying, "It was really nice to do that."

He said, "I was glad that the chemistry with the actors was good. I think I was busy filming it for the first month or so. Personally, I felt more stable toward the second half of the play. Honestly, there are some things I'm disappointed about, but it was good to watch," he said.

Hong Jong-hyun, who reunited with Oh through the upcoming film, said, "I felt reassured because he told me, 'Don't worry. Come here quickly.' I was close to Dasom (Kim), and it was my first time seeing him (Choi) Jin-hyuk. I felt like I was in a corner to lean on (by working with Oh Yeon-seo)," he said, expressing his gratitude for Oh Yeon-seo.

Hong Jong-hyun, who made a strong impression by playing villain Moon Do-hyuk in the previous TVing original "Dear X." When asked which acting was more convenient between the previous film and "I Have a Baby," he said, "I've got a Baby" was more convenient. Since it's a Rocco genre, there are a lot of ad-libs and acting together has a lot of influence on the results. In the case of the previous work, there were difficulties and pleasures that came from it because it was not a character I had experienced so far. "Dear X" was fully enjoyed when watching the show, and "I've Got a Baby" was more enjoyable on the spot," he confessed.

When asked if he thinks male and female friends are possible like in the play, Hong Jong-hyun said, "I think it can exist, but it can't be eternal. On the other hand, there are cases where same-sex friends are not eternal. In the end, I think it's up to the two to do it."

I also answered the unrequited questions. "Is it possible to talk about my school days?" he said. "I don't fall in love at first sight or fall in love with SNS." If it's Geum Sa-pa style, you may have had a crush, but it's a style that takes a little time. I don't tend to do that once or twice. "Minwook's personality is a little frustrating for me," he confessed.

In addition, Hong Jong-hyun was asked what he would do if he had a baby overnight, like in the play, and immediately answered, "What would he do if he took responsibility?"

Wouldn't the acquaintances who watched the drama talk about marriage. Hong Jong-hyun said, "I tend to be late in the military, so after I was discharged, my mother said, 'When will my son get married?' He said, "I used to be surprised when he answered 'I don't intend to get married' if he said it like a joke, not a pressure."

"Honestly, I've never seriously considered marriage. I liked this job because I was curious but also tired of it quickly. Friends around me are married and have children, but as time goes by, there are times when that looks good. He said, "When I see my immature friends doing that, they look a little cool."

When asked about his ideal type, he laughed, "This question is the most difficult," and said, "A comfortable person is the best." I hope we can communicate well like friends. At first, we can continue the relationship carefully with each other, but in the end, it seems that it is not easy to lead to a long-term relationship if the conversation does not work. I hope he is a nice and polite person."

Cha Min-wook is the epitome of a friendly and honest 'unicorn male friend'. In response to this modifier, Hong Jong-hyun said, "I have that kind of appearance, but I won't always do that. Whether it's a female friend or a male friend, they mock each other and make fun of each other. Even to me, Min-wook confessed, "I think the word 'unicorn' fits well."

When asked, "On the other hand, what if your girlfriend had a male friend like Cha Min-wook?" he said, "I will be closer to that male friend than my girlfriend." I think I'll just introduce a woman to me and go out with her," he said, drawing laughter.

What's your real love style like. Hong Jong-hyun said, "I'm not a daredevil style, but I think I keep in touch and naturally meet and do that. Wouldn't that make it obvious. If you continue like that, I think there are times when it works or times when it doesn't work," he said.

Hong Jong-hyun said, "I didn't know you would watch so many YouTube videos," about reuniting with Yu-ra, who was a virtual couple on the MBC entertainment show "We Got Married" in the past.

He said, "I contacted Yura once in a while and met her. One day, I started a game YouTube, and they were equipped with all the equipment. I thought it was crazy because it was expensive. I said 'I'll go out later' as a joke, but I spent the day feeling like I was really going out. It was comfortable and fun," he said.

"I'm not very talkative or high in tension, but Yu-ra is the same," he said. "It's been a long time since I talked excitedly. It's not even my channel, but I feel good. If I open a YouTube channel, Yura will come out. I was proud that the response was good. Yura also thanked him," he said, boasting a close friendship with Yura.

Asked if he still watches "We Got Married" often, he said, "I haven't seen it recently. If it comes up as a release, I watch it once in a while. I don't read the comments."

"I saw some comments on Yura's YouTube this time, and I was surprised and grateful that many people remembered those days."
