Heo Seong-tae has 3 criminal records after leaving the company L Group.

Actor Heo Seong-tae revealed how he left the large company L Group and became an actor.

On the 30th, a video was posted on the YouTube channel 'VIVO TV - Vivo TV' with the title 'See you next season for the final episode of Cine Mountain 2 with Heo Seong-tae!'

Heo Seong-tae appeared in the recently released Coupang Play series ‘Bait’. Song Eun-i congratulated Heo Seong-tae on his first leading role and said, "He was a gangster in the movie 'Crime City', a gangster in the Netflix series 'Squid Game', and this time a conman in 'Bait'. He has three criminal records." In response, Heo Seong-tae said, "I told the director that I would write a 'comprehensive encyclopedia of villains.' Of all the roles I have played so far, this is Sae-X, the worst."

Seongtae Heo has an unusual history. He was an office worker and debuted as an actor through the audition program ‘Miracle Audition.’ Heo Seong-tae, who worked at L Group, a large company, said that while he was watching TV after coming home from a company dinner, he got drunk and applied for an actor audition.

Heo Seong-tae said, "I tried to think about using a strategy rather than a strategy after the audition. However, all the judges said I was good, so I wanted to give it a try. I was going down early in the morning after the recording, and my wife drank a lot of soju. After a deep conversation, the actor said, “I was confident in my dream,” he explained.

Heo Seong-tae decided to resign from the company the next day. He said, "I guess I got drunk after drinking. I was supposed to go to work at 8 a.m., but it was 10 a.m. When I got to work, there was an uproar." Director Jang Hang-jun, who heard this, laughed and said, "You're almost crazy."

The manager, who was Heo Seong-tae's boss at the time, was angry and said, 'What are you going to do?' What was Heo Seong-tae’s reaction? He said, "Each time you pass a stage in 'Miracle Audition', you are given an emblem. I put it down, but the manager got even angrier. So I told him, 'Listen carefully,' and people started coming closer and closer."

In the end, Heo Seong-tae explained it to the gathered company people, and it is said that everyone listened and became immersed in the story. Song Eun-i said, “The process of submitting my resignation is also like a drama.”

Heo Seong-tae also surprised people by revealing that he had tried both losing and gaining 20kg. Heo Seong-tae said losing weight was easier. “It was difficult because there was a special reason why I had to do it in a short period of time, but since my body was not at the weight it originally remembered, I gained weight and tore my muscles,” he said.
