(Following the interview ②)

Actor Kang Yoo-seok, who marks his ninth year since his debut, is running again this year to produce valuable fruits.

After debuting with the OCN drama "God's Quiz: Reboot" in 2018, Kang Yoo-seok proved his wide acting spectrum through "Fall," "Seocho-dong," "Someday's Life of a Korean Major" (hereinafter "Unseuljeon"), "Beop Tran," "I Want to Do Well," "Start-Up," "I Been Once," and "Romantic Doctor Kim Sa-bu 2."

Marking her ninth year since debuting this year, she once again showed her new face as Yang Eun-myung, the younger brother of Yang Geum-myung, played by IU in the Netflix original series "Fully Believed," and as a result, she won the "AAA Emotional Award" at the "10th Anniversary Asian Artist Awards 2025" held at Kaohsiung National Stadium on December 6 of the same year.

Looking back on the past time, Kang Yoo-seok, who recently met at the Star News headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul, said, "It's not that I didn't have any regrets, but I think I came step by step. He said with a humble attitude, "I think I've been doing it quite sincerely because it's a case where I started with a minor role and came up with each line."

He said, "The disappointment remains. Acting always seems to be like that. When the work comes out and monitors it, I naturally think, "Why couldn't I do it more boldly at that time, why couldn't I do it better?" Nevertheless, I think it would have been the best at the time of the acting. As the past is always regrettable, I try to do my best in the present," he said.

"I'm always feeling an acting thirst," he continued, "and I still think about whether I'm doing well." I always feel insufficient, but I am not very satisfied. If I used to have a hard time with myself, now I'm living with it as a driving force," he said calmly.

Kang Yoo-seok's charm, which was highlighted with his big works, was also brilliant in the MBC entertainment program "Alba Vacation." Kang Yoo-seok, who was her first entertainment challenge, attracted viewers with a different charm than when she performed her main job through part-time jobs in Zanzibar, Tanzania, with comedian Lee Soo-ji, actors Jung Joon-won, and Kim A-young.

It also held its first fan meeting since its debut. In December last year, he made special memories with his fans through his solo fan meeting "U-Niverse." In particular, as he performed on Mnet's "M Countdown" as Um J, an idol group in "Unseuljeon," he completed a rich performance by focusing on singing and dancing for two months.

Kang Yoo-seok said, "As the fans take their precious time to come, shouldn't I work hard and have fun?" and added, "If it wasn't for High Boyz, I wouldn't even have thought about dancing at the fan meeting." I was beaten once (as High Boyz), and now that everyone who is watching has seen it, I enjoyed it comfortably," he said.

As for appearing in entertainment shows, "If I have a chance, I would like to appear in reality entertainment shows again. There was a comfortable person in the 'Alba Vacation', and everyone got close quickly. The staff were also very considerate. When will I go to Africa again. It was a very valuable experience," he said, expressing satisfaction.

Finally, when asked about his ambitions for the year 2026, Kang Yoo-seok said, "I will do my best to farm well this year as well. Above all, there is a desire to be healthier this year. I want to take good care of my body and do my role better than anyone else. When the participating works were released, 'Kang Yu-seok has that kind of appearance. I will work harder to hear 'well done'."

To be honest, I have pressure and greed, but I try to put everything down when I act. There are things you have to do as an actor, Kang Yoo-seok. "I just put down the burden of 'human Kang Yoo-seok' for a while and grow it," he said with humility.
