Rapper Swing revealed a special connection that led him to take on acting at actor Byun Yo-han's invitation.

In the episode airing on the 28th on KBS 2TV music talk show "The Seasons - Sung Si-kyung's High-Ear Boyfriend," Byun Yo-han and Moon Ji-hoon (Swing) appeared and shared various stories.

On that day, Swing explained his motivation for taking on acting: "I have loved movies since I was young, but I never thought I would act. While doing rap, I began to ponder other ways to express myself."

He continued, "Acting was personally an art I admired and aspired to. Two years ago, I gathered the courage to take it on," adding that he started formally studying acting by attending multiple acting schools.

Swing revealed that he publicly shared his acting videos at the recommendation of his acting instructor. He said, "My teacher told me to film myself acting and upload it. So I uploaded a clip where I imitated Lee Byung-hun's performance in the movie 'Sweet Home,' but received many negative reactions."

However, amidst numerous responses, an unexpected connection began. Swing stated, "Among the few who contacted me at that time was Mr. Byun Yo-han."

Byun Yo-han recalled the moment he first saw Swing's video. He said, "Swing appeared in my algorithm. I knew nothing about him at the time and was having a drink with actor Koo Kyo-hwan when I thought, 'Who is this? Why is he acting?'"

Although initially puzzled, Swing's performance stayed on his mind. Byun Yo-han explained, "From the next day for a week, it left an impression. Whether good, clumsy, or awkward, it remained in my memory."

Later, when meeting with the production team of the movie "Tazza: The High Rollers," he recalled Swing. Byun Yo-han said, "We were unable to find an actor for a certain role. When I turned on my phone, Swing appeared in my algorithm again. That's why I called him," recounting how this led to a casting proposal.

Hearing this, Swing reminisced about that time: "They told me that when we first met, I said, 'It's a magical night.' I found it amazing that such a thing could happen."

He continued, "When I started acting, I thought there would be nothing for about five years. But someone noticing me was truly something I am grateful for," expressing his heartfelt gratitude toward Byun Yo-han.
