• Interview with No Jae-won for the film 'Tazza 4'.

Actor No Jae-won was inspired by his seniors Byun Yo-han and Hyun Bin's rigorous self-management, prompting him to begin managing his own appearance.

On the 14th, we met with actor No Jae-won at a café on Samcheong-ro in Jongno-gu, Seoul, to discuss the film 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' (directed by Choi Guk-hee, hereafter referred to as 'Tazza 4').

'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' is a crime film where Jang Tae-young (played by Byun Yo-han), who believed he had everything through an online casino business, and his best friend Park Tae-young (played by No Jae-won), who took everything away from him, reunite on the global gambling stage to settle their score.

No Jae-won, who has recently been recognized for his acting skills by delivering powerful performances in various works, expressed gratitude for the overwhelming praise while also acknowledging the accompanying burden and sense of responsibility.

"When I receive compliments about my acting, I feel both pressure and responsibility," No Jae-won said. "If I can meet the expectations of so many people through my performance, I think I would be truly happy. It would feel like I've gained everything."

He added, "But there will surely be many more things ahead. I am prepared to face them. I have decided not to run away or make excuses."

Although he has recently participated in major works such as Netflix's 'Squid Game' and 'Made in Korea', No Jae-won stated that he does not wish to rely on past achievements.

"The seniors and colleagues I meet are actors with far more experience than me," No Jae-won said. "I was fortunate enough to encounter great opportunities and participate in big productions."

He continued, "Participating in 'Squid Game' and 'Made in Korea' felt like a chapter from my past. Today, I feel like I am starting over. It feels as if I am acting for the first time every time."

He further explained with a smile, "The fact that I have done something like this before does not replace my current performance, nor does my acting ability improve on its own. I consider the work I am doing now to be everything, and I approach each role with the mindset of starting anew. That is why I often fumble around on set."

No Jae-won mentioned that he learned not only about acting but also about the attitude of an actor from his senior colleagues with whom he worked.

Regarding Byun Yo-han, with whom he shared scenes in 'Tazza 4', No Jae-won said, "He is brave and generous. Those are qualities I completely lack." He added, "That style is quite cool and romantic. His attitude toward me as a younger brother is also truly excellent," expressing his affection.

Regarding Hyun Bin, with whom he worked on 'Made in Korea', No Jae-won said, "He is kind, gentle, and considerate."

"For example, even if there are parts of my acting that fall short, they don't tell me immediately during filming but rather discuss it after the production ends," No Jae-won shared. "I think they are being considerate in case I get hurt or feel discouraged. There is much I am grateful for in that regard."

What he learned from both of them was their rigorous self-management. No Jae-won remarked, "Watching them, I learned a lot about what it means to be cool and handsome as an actor, and about self-management. They were truly meticulous about it," expressing his admiration.

He said, "I have been trying to manage myself more these days. I've started going to a dermatologist and am exercising diligently." He added with a smile, "I plan to become even better-looking in the future."

He further explained, "I realized that by doing my best to take care of my appearance, I can meet more roles and deliver even better performances within them."
