'Actor Choi Hyun-wook revealed that the filming set of "The Boy in the Last Row," where he worked alongside veteran actors, "felt like school."
'On the 24th, a press conference for the Netflix series "The Boy in the Last Row" was held at Seoul M Gallery in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Gyu-tae and actors Choi Min-sik and Choi Hyun-wook attended the event.
'"The Boy in the Last Row" is a suspense drama depicting the story of "Heo Moon-oh" (played by Choi Min-sik), a failed writer and Korean literature professor, who discovers the genius of "Lee Kang" (played by Choi Hyun-wook), the boy sitting in the last row of the classroom, and becomes obsessed with his writing.
'The boy "Lee Kang," who always sits in the last row of the classroom while exuding an ambiguous atmosphere, is portrayed by Choi Hyun-wook. Choi Hyun-wook stated, "For me, the greatest charm of this work was that it was directed by Director Kim Gyu-tae and starred by senior actor Choi Min-sik," and Choi Min-sik praised him, saying, "He does well."
'He added, "When I first read the script, I think I was instantly captivated on the spot. I chose this role because I thought I could show another side of myself through 'Lee Kang'."
'In "The Boy in the Last Row," Choi Hyun-wook, who shared scenes with veteran actors including Choi Min-sik, Heo Jun-ho, Kim Yoon-jin, and Jin Kyung, said, "The set felt just like a school." He continued, "I learned more from this project than any other work, and while filming with the veterans, I was able to acquire many things. Thanks to that, I was able to focus even more on acting the character 'Lee Kang'."
'Director Kim Gyu-tae did not hold back his praise for Choi Hyun-wook. Director Kim said, "He was perfectly suited for a role with a mysterious double side. His very gaze carries suspense. He is very calm, quiet, and warm, yet possesses the power to create tension as if something is about to happen. He expressed 'Lee Kang' very well."
'He added, "What surprised me was his ability to remain silent on set and then explode with energy and immerse himself once the shot was taken. I am looking forward to how far actor Choi Hyun-wook can grow and his potential."
