First, Heo Seong-tae reveals how he became an actor after leaving a major corporation. He recalls that 20 years ago, after working at a shipyard in Geoje following a stint in Yeouido, he watched a TV show while having dinner and applied for the "Miracle Audition" under the influence of alcohol, which surprised everyone when he said he got contacted the very next day and came up to Seoul, laying the groundwork for his acting career.
He also expresses frustration about having his favorite restaurant taken away by Park Bo-gum, with whom he starred in the drama "Good Boy." He reveals, "(The 'Good Boy' team) shared a group message about my favorite pork soup restaurant in Busan," igniting a revelation war. While he always covered his face, the photos of Park Bo-gum visiting the place spread, turning it into a shrine for fans. He humorously expresses jealousy, stating, "What's a bit disappointing is that it’s known as Park Bo-gum's restaurant," making the scene smile with his unexpected lovely attitude.

He shares a behind-the-scenes story of how Kim Goeun directly offered casting opportunities for "The Love Law of Big City" and "Yumi's Cells." When asked, "Doesn't acting as friends and lovers feel awkward?" he jokes, "If I had been messy or laughed, I would have been scolded," displaying his clumsy charm, especially when asked about his willingness to take on the romantic comedy genre with Kim Goeun, he draws the line, saying, "I think it’s good right now," eliciting laughter.
Meanwhile, Heo Seong-tae reveals that he gained 17 kg for his character in "Squid Game" and added 7 kg to portray a police officer who is a wrestling bronze medalist in the current "Good Boy." He admits to focusing on self-care, confessing that he is currently abstaining from smoking and drinking, and mentions that 30% of the reason for this change is due to a disability, raising curiosity about the reason behind it.
