We Ha-joon's rocho craving has begun. We Ha-joon, who worked with "Melo Queen" Park Min-young, expressed admiration for Park Min-young's detailed acting skills. In addition, Wi Ha-joon also revealed a behind-the-scenes story about the kissing scene between the two that became a hot topic.

Recently, Wi Ha-joon conducted an interview at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and talked about the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Seiren" (script Lee Young, director Kim Chul-kyu) that ended on the 7th.

"Seiren" is a deadly romance thriller that begins when Cha Woo-seok (Wi Ha-joon), who investigates insurance fraud, delves into Han Seol-ah (Park Min-young), who is suspected of being a suspect. In the play, Wi Ha-joon played the role of Cha Woo-seok, an insurance investigator chasing Han Seol-ah, a woman who has no choice but to fall into it.

When asked about his feelings at the end of the show, Wi Ha-joon said, "My regret is the biggest. I miss the people in the field. I have a lot of feelings," he replied.

Filming that fully captured the four seasons was not easy. We started in the middle of summer and ended in the middle of winter. He recalled, "I went from place to place because I was an investigator." "There were some difficulties because of the heat and cold, but the action was not as much as the previous work. I studied because I had a lot of different emotions. It was fun to express that. I felt like everyone was doing their best with all their heart and soul," he said, looking back on the work process.

Although it is a genre that can be divided into likes and dislikes, he showed strong confidence in the message left by the work. In particular, Wi Ha-joon said, "The ending is my favorite ending. It's a mystery thriller, but it ends up with a human story, healing, saving, and ending. I thought that was the big attraction of this work, and it was good that it was expressed well."

He also confessed his honest feelings about the ratings. According to Nielsen Korea, "Seiren" recorded 4.5% of viewership based on paid households nationwide in the final episode. We Hajun said, "Seiren' is not a commercial work. It was a dark and mysterious mystery mystery, he said, but he smiled, saying, "I'm satisfied that I have a mania."

The most memorable scene for Wi Ha-joon was the scene taken in the freezing cold. "There was a scene where emotions rose and later on, the emotions exploded for the person who killed his younger brother," he said. "When I filmed the scene, it was about minus 17 degrees Celsius. I had to sob and act violently, so I had difficulties physically and emotionally in that part," he said.

Wi Ha-joon, who showed a performance with a large emotional amplitude in his work, said, "Honestly, it wasn't easy. There were many gods who had to cry, but I studied a lot because I couldn't cry well," he confessed. "In the second half, I tried various methods, saying, 'Why can't I get so sad emotions?' I feel like I've solved my homework as an actor," he said.

There was also an acting difference from the previous movie 'Squid Game'. Wi Ha-joon said, "There were a lot of limited acting in 'Squid Game'. I had to have a lot of emotions and I had to reduce my expression. So I thought I wanted to act more," he explained. As for the reason for choosing "Seiren," Cha Woo-seok also had an action scene and a slick and cool-headed side. I chose it because I thought I could show you many aspects," he stressed.

Efforts for visual completeness were also considerable. He said, "I worked out hard while taking a break for about a year, but rather, my face got fat and my eyes felt a little swollen. In 'Seiren', I had a lot of acting to show with my eyes, so I decided to lose weight strongly to create a more sensitive and sleek image," he said, confessing to losing 7kg.

Her relationship with her counterpart, Park Min-young, couldn't be better. Wi Ha-joon praised Park Min-young, saying, "I was immersed in the emotional scene that became more desperate and mournful in the second half because my eyes and emotions were good."

In particular, he recalled his relationship with Park Min-young, who has the modifier "Melo Queen," saying, "It was different. He even shed tears at the exact point. That's what was interesting. There were many ideas in the melodramatic part. He thanked me for telling me a lot of details, which helped me a lot in that area.

The behind-the-scenes story of the kiss scene, which was a hot topic among viewers, was also left out. Park Min-young drew attention by saying, "(We Ha-joon) ate my lips," on the YouTube channel "Jo Jae-z," which appeared to promote the drama. In this regard, Wi Ha-joon said, "When we started the promotion, we said, 'Let's promote it hard,'" adding, "My sister tried to actively do it and I tried to do my best. As a result, there was also a compulsion to be funny. He went overboard a lot without realizing it. He added, "It was a bit unfamiliar to me, and I think my sister expressed something more interesting there, but the expression was very funny."

Surprisingly, Wi Ha-joon confessed that he was very nervous at the scene of the kiss scene. He said, "I didn't have much experience with the kiss scene, so I was worried. So we played pranks on the spot. I tried to focus on acting and work hard," he confessed. Especially, "I was nervous because I wasn't used to kissing scenes. I'm nervous about getting hurt in the action, but I couldn't lead the kiss scene. So I even boxed on the spot to relieve tension," he said, revealing a unique way to relieve tension.

Wi Ha-joon, who received a passing score for his melodrama performance, responded to the viewers' response, saying, "Thank you so much for seeing me like that. That's why I'm more greedy, he said. "I really want to do Rococo, not a complex genre, without thriller. I want to bring out the deep melodrama and the emotions inside," he said.

He also candidly revealed his thirst as an actor. We Hajun said, "I really want to do Rococo. I want to show you a variety of things. "I want to do a work that makes people look better," he said. "I think I'm facing limitations in acting because I do a lot of genre works. The roles that come from this genre are similar in costumes. I don't even use everyday words," he said.

"I also want to spread it more and express it to my heart's content, so I want to do a work that is a little bright and comfortable for the public to see next time." I have a great desire to perform works and acting that can feel the human side, the sloppy side, and the cute side," he said.
