Actor Wi Ha-jun confessed that he could not enjoy the popularity of 'Squid Game.'
On the 27th, KBS 2TV's 'Heart on Wheels' featured 'Squid Game' actors Yang Dong-geun, Wi Ha-jun, and Park Gyu-young as guests.
Boom said, "Wi Ha-jun has been chosen as a sexy actor recognized by the world." Lee Min-jung noted, "I heard he is ranked as the most popular male celebrity in Argentina or Brazil."
Wi Ha-jun said, "I have adjusted my workout according to my roles, losing all the weight I gained over the past year." Wi Ha-jun added, "Recently, I have been doing combat sports and cardio."
Ahn Jae-hyun asked, "How did the audition for 'Squid Game' proceed?" Park Gyu-young replied, "I sent a video to the production company. They contacted me saying they wanted to see me once." Wi Ha-jun stated, "I visited the production company as a courtesy. They suggested an audition after hearing my voice tone."
Wi Ha-jun explained, "I thought it was just a light reading session, but the director and the head of the production company were all there," and added, "They told me to act comfortably, thinking it was merely a reading session. Naturally, I memorize the script when I audition, so I did that."
Wi Ha-jun noted that he could not enjoy the popularity of 'Squid Game.' He said, "Rather, I was very stressed. I hate being disappointed, so I don't expect too much. If I expect too much, the disappointment is greater." To this, Lee Min-jung joked, "Maybe I was too excited today, as I wore white pants."
Wi Ha-jun mentioned, "I was planning to enjoy the press conference for 'Squid Game 2.'" Park Gyu-young responded, "I thought you enjoyed it really well at that time. I was so nervous, but you escorted me."
