-Didn't you have a hard time doing both works at the same time last year.

▶2025 was the busiest year for me and a lively year.

-On Feb. 28, the company announced that it will hold its 20th anniversary fan meeting "Our 20th Moment" at the COEX Artium in Seoul. What kind of idol dance are you going to perform again.

▶We are not planning yet.(Laughs) I think I'll focus on what I'll be more honest about at this fan meeting.

-If you look back on the 20 years since your debut, what moments do you remember the most.

▶The most memorable time was when I did a 'model taxi'. I want to find another masterpiece of mine. I have been frantically exploring and trying how to act well. When I think about the next 5 to 10 years, my thoughts and values on what work I will choose seem to be projected. I think it will show my filmography journey in the future. I also want to put down the burden of the size of the roll.

-What did you do in the time to empty the character after this work.

▶I was so busy last year that I didn't see the contents, so I saw those things. I walked around a lot and looked around a lot of people. I spent time imagining what kind of life I could live and what kind of characters I could play in the future.

-What do you usually do when you have time.

▶The moment I go to the theater and watch a movie still gives me great pleasure. If you don't go to the theater, you don't have enough time because there is a lot of content to watch at home. I want to travel if I have more time. I like to feel 'this is how the world works' when I see the busy city and many people living. I went to New York last December and enjoyed Manhattan while walking more than 20,000 steps a day. I want to enjoy walking, walking, and watching in the future.

-What are your plans for 2026?

▶Mindly, it's good to rest, but I still have a lot of desire for creation. I think I will work on making new stories while thinking about how to make them. He is also greedy to direct, so he is studying.

-Do you have time to date.

Experience indirectly with ▶ content.(laughs) If there's a tree, it's drying up and I want to try to sprout it this year.
