Actor Ahn Hyo-seop is preparing to transform into a chef.
In an interview with fashion magazine Cosmopolitan, Ahn Hyo-seop shared various updates on his recent activities.
Ahn Hyo-seop mentioned an anecdote from when he attended the 98th Academy Awards in March, where he was given the nickname "Fan Guy" for carrying a portable fan. He said, "Although LA is known for its good weather, the day was particularly hot, and the lights kept shining on the tent, making it very hot." He added, "I thought, 'Let's just survive first,' so I brought a portable fan, and it felt like a ray of hope." He also joked, "Many stars and staff at the scene envied me, so I ended up carrying it around proudly."
Ahn Hyo-seop, known as a cat lover, shared stories about his pet cat "Pauli," explaining, "He's a master of the push-and-pull game; you reach out, and before you know it, he's by your side." He predicted that if Pauli could speak, his first words would likely be, "What are you doing?" Ahn Hyo-seop expressed his affection, saying, "I heard that Goyangis perceive the humans they live with as 'Big Goyangis.' Just as I can't understand Pauli's behavior, Pauli probably can't understand mine either, so he always looks at me with curious eyes."
Ahn Hyo-seop is focusing on preparations for his upcoming project, "Final Table." Playing the role of a professional chef named Kang Han, he shared, "Lately, I've been concentrating on cooking practice, especially knife skills. Knife work is fun, keeps my mind clear, and seems to improve my focus." When asked to rate his cooking skills, he replied, "Since my role is a professional chef, if judged by that standard, I'm probably still below 0.5 points, and there's a long way to go." As for the dish he is most confident in, he mentioned "Spring cabbage bibimbap," which he has made and eaten about four or five times recently.
