-Continuing from Interview ②

About 20 years after his debut as "everyone's gentle ideal type," there is an actor whose image has completely shifted to that of a "clumsy uncle." That actor is Choi Daniel (40). In 2009, Choi Daniel captivated Korean women with his role as the bespectacled dandy Lee Ji-hoon in MBC's hit sitcom "High Kick Through the Roof." Who could have predicted that by 2025, he would appear on MBC's variety show "Omniscient Interfering View," showcasing his natural eccentricity and carelessness through slapstick comedy as a live-action version of "Mr. Bean," and go on to win the Best Entertainer in the Reality category at the MBC Entertainment Awards that year? Choi Daniel's signature "innocent eye smile" adds charm to both contrasting images.

-Recently, he made headlines by revealing YouTube content in which he traveled to Tokyo to meet Japanese actress Kaho, whom he met through a blind date on MBN's "Hanil Romance: Pre-marital Dating." Are they still in the "som" (flirting) stage? Is there a possibility that their relationship will develop into an actual romantic partnership?

▶We are currently just checking in with each other via LINE messenger. We worked together on music production while filming this YouTube content. I wanted to release music similar to the OST of the content. Perhaps later, there could be a project with another non-singer. It would be fun for someone who is not a singer to take on a musical challenge. When I was in Tokyo, I ate a regular bento box because I wanted to do something ordinary. Even when traveling, I prefer visiting everyday places like playgrounds and markets.

-What is your current level of interest in marriage and dating?

▶Still, my older brother got married first and had children. I do have thoughts about wanting to get married. If I meet a partner at some point, perhaps I could get married.

-Now that 20 years have passed since your debut, are there any genres or characters you would like to act in?

▶I want to try B-grade emotional black comedy. Personally, I enjoyed the movie "Incheon Stella." I also like the parody vibe of movies like "Scary Movie." If we only do safe things, won't there be no change?

-What are your recent personal interests?

▶I am interested in content-related matters such as podcasts. I want to do something productive and fun. It would also be fun to work on production aspects. I also like the movie "Oppenheimer"; it was impressive to see people with different backgrounds coming together for the same purpose.

-Finally, a message to StarNews readers and Choi Daniel's fans.

▶I hope to continue sharing good news with you. Recently, the way news is communicated has changed significantly; I wish it would remain a news source that stays with us until the end. There must be those who inform so that there are those who know. To my fans, I want to show you various good sides of myself. I will work hard, so please look forward to it. I hope everyone tries many things they like. Although we live in an environment where we can try many things, many people give up before even starting. If you do what you want without overthinking, you will see results. I hope you find happiness within that. I will also show you such a side.

-End
