Actor Seo Kang-jun shared his thoughts with a viewer who is experiencing burnout in a long-term relationship.

On the 21st, a video titled "Seo Kang-jun's Advice Corner Open!" was released on the YouTube channel 'Elle Korea'.

In the video, one viewer asked, "I've been dating for eight years, but my partner feels too comfortable and I no longer feel excited. If it were Namgung Ho (played by Seo Kang-jun) in your show, how would you overcome this phase of burnout?"

Seo Kang-jun responded, "I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to give advice to someone who has been dating for eight years," but added, "Since I portrayed a 10-year relationship in the drama, I'll try offering my thoughts."

He said, "Actually, I've thought about this part a lot. From Namgung Ho's perspective, if having this person by your side has become too natural, how can you turn that around?"

He continued, "Wanting to feel excited again seems like wanting to go back. It feels like a desire to return to the time when you first met and felt those initial thrills."

He then advised, "I believe the form of love needs to change slightly. While feeling excited when you first meet is wonderful, I think it's even more important to accept another form of love that emerges when excitement fades and familiarity and comfort take its place."

Meanwhile, Seo Kang-jun is portraying Namgung Ho, a character in a long-term relationship, on KBS 2TV's 'If It Were You Instead', depicting the realistic emotions of long-term dating and burnout.
