Actor Koo Sung-hwan displayed his sincere and candid speaking style.

Koo Sung-hwan recently conducted a photo shoot and interview with bnt. When asked to describe himself with a single word, he chose "romantic." He said, "I believe it is important to enjoy each day happily."

Additionally, Koo Sung-hwan reflected on parting with his mother at a young age, stating that it "taught him the preciousness of 'today' and gave him a new philosophy and attitude toward life."

This attitude has been carried over to his acting sets as well. Koo Sung-hwan said, "To immerse myself in a role, I focus on reading the overall flow and relaxing myself. Rather than memorizing and analyzing lines, I look at the big picture more. I believe that chemistry among actors is important, so I try to match the ensemble. Since a stiff body does not allow for good expression, I think 'comfort' is the foundation."

Amid the intense attention pouring in through recent variety shows, Koo Sung-hwan showed a firm stance, saying he is "working hard to maintain his center as an actor." He revealed a serious attitude, stating, "I want to clearly distinguish between variety and acting. If I appear too much like a variety personality, it could become a burden to my colleagues who are creating works together."

Furthermore, Koo Sung-hwan expressed his wish to "take on Janus-like characters who drive the drama with just lines and glances, or roles that undergo repeated twists."

The single word of encouragement he received from senior actor Song Kang-ho, whom he has admired since childhood, "I thought you would become a good actor," remains an unforgettable support to this day. Recalling their connection in the Disney+ series "Uncle Sam-sik," he showed his affection for Song Kang-ho by saying, "I am waiting for the day we can work together again with a longer chemistry."

Regarding his ultimate goal, Koo Sung-hwan said, "It is not a great achievement, but 'living more happily.'" He added, "Happiness is not as grand as one might think. Isn't happiness found in things that blend into daily life, such as a delicious dinner after work or a home where one can sleep comfortably?" He offered a gentle comfort, saying, "Many people ask me about happiness. I hope you don't think of it too hard and instead feel small happiness while being grateful for little things."

Koo Sung-hwan has several projects upcoming: the OTT Wave original "Reverse," the new drama "Yes, Let's Divorce," and "H-512" (working title), which was filmed in Kazakhstan.

Meanwhile, Koo Sung-hwan recently made headlines by sharing his daily life on MBC's "I Live Alone," where he coped with his grief over the loss of his pet dog, Kkotbuni (Flower), by completing a 446-kilometer national journey.
