On January 12, South Korean singer-actor Nam Woo-hyun discussed what inspired him to take on acting.
At the media event for the upcoming movie The Guardian, which LionhearTV covered, Woo-hyun remarked that he became interested in acting because of his love of working on a stage.
“Basically, I like working. I mean working on a stage where I’m singing. When I watch movies and dramas, I am so [very] interested in that work. So, that’s why I’m getting more interested in what I do in Korea as an actor. Thank you.”
Before venturing into acting, Nam Woo-hyun became the main vocalist of the South Korean boy group Infinite. He then began his solo career as an artist in 2016.
As for their upcoming movie, The Guardian stars Pinoy actors Yassi Pressman, Wilbert Ross, and Jeric Raval with Ashtine Olviga, Eric Ejercito, Joko Diaz, and Heart Ryan.
