Actor Joo Sang-wook named "Manager Kim" his life's work.

Recently, Joo Sang-wook appeared in BoldPage's global interview series "Global Q's." He openly discussed everything from his changed daily routine after the SBS drama "Manager Kim," which ended in July, to behind-the-scenes details of action scenes with So Ji-sub, stories about his wife, actress Cha Ye-ryun, and his thoughts on global activities.

When asked if he has recently felt the surge in popularity, Joo Sang-wook replied, "People suddenly started recognizing me at places I always go." He added, "I used to hear 'I watched Giant' a lot, but now it's changed to 'I watched Manager Kim.'"

He continued, "While we must keep creating life-defining works in the future, for now, it is 'Manager Kim.' It's not easy for people to remember even character names." When fans remembered his character name "Joo Kang-chan," he joked, "Should I just change my name to Joo Kang-chan? My surname is already Joo too," eliciting laughter.

He also shared anecdotes about action scenes with So Ji-sub. Joo Sang-wook said, "In action scenes, it's more important that the two actors work well together than getting hit." He noted that So Ji-sub provided significant help during filming.

Recalling the all-day action shoot, he remarked, "That day of being hit will be unforgettable for the rest of my life." Joo Sang-wook explained, "Due to insufficient shooting time, some action sequences were cut. If we had more time, I would have eaten late-night snacks and gotten hit again," revealing a behind-the-scenes story. Viewers can see Joo Sang-wook reenacting his actual filming route in the final broadcast.

He also discussed the possibility of working together with his wife Cha Ye-ryun again. The couple, who met while co-starring in the 2015 MBC drama "Splendid Deception," developed a romantic relationship and married in 2017.

When asked about acting conditions for appearing together, Joo Sang-wook shyly said, "The condition is that we don't meet each other during filming." He added, "It's not because of any special reason; I just feel too embarrassed to do it," which drew laughter.

Anecdotes about his real-life "daughter doting" behavior with his nine-year-old daughter were also shared. Joo Sang-wook stated, "In reality, I live almost entirely for my daughter." Immediately after explaining the meaning of being a "daughter doting father," he said he was told, "Dad, please bring me some water."

He also opened up about his feelings toward his acting career. He admitted, "In my 30s, I felt anxious if I didn't shoot for even one day," but added, "Now I feel at peace. In fact, I think I can take on more projects in the future," expressing strong enthusiasm.

From the moment he almost changed his name to "Joo Kang-chan" to the all-day action shoot where he was repeatedly hit, to his shy reactions when mentioning Cha Ye-ryun and the scenes where he tackled Japanese and Bollywood dialogues, Joo Sang-wook's responses not covered in articles will be revealed in the full episode of BoldPage YouTube's "Global Q's."
