• Interview with 'AAA 2025' Best Actor Award, iKON Award Winner Choo Young-woo

Actor Choo Young-woo (26) has revealed his goal as an actor himself.

Choo Young-woo, who appeared like a comet, showed off his unique charm in various genres and became a popular actor who received love calls from Chungmuro and small theaters. Choo Young-woo, who stamped his face on the public with dramas "School 2021" and "Oasis," was loved last year for his activities in a variety of genres, including "Severe Trauma Center," "Oksi Lady Exhibition," "Place," "Gyeonwoo and the Fairy," and the movie "Tonight, Even if This Love Disappears from the World."

Thanks to this, Chu Young-woo won the Icon Award and the Best Actor Award at the "10th Anniversary Asian Artist Awards 2025" held at Kaohsiung National Stadium on December 6 last year. I met Chu Young-woo, who recently finished filming a drama after a busy time.

Chu Young-woo is captivating women's hearts with his charming appearance. He became a melodrama prince through the movie "Tonight, Even if This Love Disappears in the World," which was released last year. He will show a new side of himself with a melodrama scheduled to air this year. Chu Young-woo said, "Oh Se-isa is a work I really love and I'm grateful for receiving a lot of love, but it's a work that I'm disappointed in myself. As with every work, I work harder with such regrets in my next work, he said. "I recently finished filming 'Dr. Love'." I think it will be a more confident work this time. I think I can get a little closer to the title (Prince Melo) you mentioned. "It's a desperate love story that I wanted to do at least once, a realistic love story," he said.

Choo Young-woo, who creates unique chemistry with actresses, said, "I mainly engaged in romance with my senior actress. I'm a junior, but when I'm in a romance, I rather relax. And I think about it as a character and approach it," he said. "Most of the actors I worked with were older sisters, but I still feel comfortable with older sisters. In the romance scene, I think my sisters feel more comfortable if I naturally transfer emotions and give opinions," he said.

Chu Young-woo said, "I've met a lot of good directors so far. It was scary, but I respected that kind of heart and all the directors were so good. Thank you so much. Acting has improved a lot while filming 'Dr. Love' as well. I'm very grateful to meet a lot of good people. I'm continuing to learn by working with my seniors," he said.

In recent broadcasting stations and Chungmuro, Chu's name always appears in works that require male actors in their 20s. Choo Young-woo said, "It's not like I'm good at acting or anything. Not long ago, I remember, I couldn't even do it. Still, I got many opportunities, so I acted hard, and I think my acting is getting better a little faster. That's how much time I spend on acting. "Whenever I feel lacking, I try harder," he said. "So my friends also tell me that every work has a better acting." I practice a lot, and I look into the script a lot. I think it's possible because I get the opportunity to continue acting even when other friends rest and play."

Choo Young-woo, who has performed various works regardless of genre, such as romance, medical drama, and historical drama, showed his greed for action. Chu Young-woo said, "I didn't do as much action as I thought. There was an action scene, but I haven't done a proper action. I want to try a sports genre with action or a crime thriller, even if it's not necessarily a noir. If I do a crime thriller, I want to try criminals, he said. "If I play a villain around me, I'll do well." I've been boxing for a long time because I want to do action. I still go without skipping a day these days. When I rest, I go there every day and box to the point where my fist hurts. "I take care of my body, but I exercise hard for my physical strength and mental strength," he said.

Finally, Chu Young-woo conveyed his goal as an actor and said, "There is something I always say to my friends. When looking at the work, there are works that are "Ah, it's fun" and "It's sad," while there are works that linger for a long time. I want to do a work that is impressive and memorable for someone like that. If you ask someone, 'What's your life drama, what's your life movie?' I really want to do one of those works that can be mentioned," he added.
