Actor Choi Hyun-wook revealed the reason he gave up his dream of becoming a baseball player and chose the path of acting.

On the 27th, a video titled "Fan meetings are just an excuse" was released on the YouTube channel 'Tteuntteunt'. Choi Min-sik and Choi Hyun-wook, stars of the Netflix series 'The Last Line of Boys', appeared and shared various stories.

In the released video, Choi Hyun-wook, who is a former baseball player, stated, "I played until I was 17, in the first year of high school. I still occasionally play amateur baseball. Since each league has its own regulations, I only participate in leagues that allow it."

Regarding the reason he quit baseball, he said, "I tried to resume after surgery and rehabilitation, but I felt I had hit a limit, so I quit," and added, "I was in the same class as Lotte Giants pitcher Kim Jin-wook."

He continued, "After quitting baseball, I was wondering what to do next. Then I watched a movie and cried a lot. It was 'The Fortress' and 'Along with the Gods.' That was the catalyst for me to start acting." Choi Min-sik responded with, "I'm not in that movie," eliciting laughter.

Choi Hyun-wook also added, "After working on a project with my senior, it became even more fun. When my senior is present, all the staff feel a sense of fullness; when he is absent, they feel a sense of emptiness."
