Gongchan “Filming BL’s ‘Unmoral Love Story’ is always fun and happy”

Actor Gongchan, a member of the group B1A4, mentioned Cha Seo-won, with whom he co-starred in 'Illegal Love Story'.

On the 6th, MZ Magazine Your Vibe released a pictorial of Gongchan, who finished filming 'Unintentional Romance Story', which is scheduled to be released in the first half of this year. 'Unintentional Love Story' is a drama based on a webtoon by author Phoebe and tells the story of two men, Cha Seo-won (played by Yoon Tae-jun) and Gong Chan (played by Ji Won-young).

Gongchan said about his co-star Cha Seo-won, "The day I go to the filming set is the day I go to meet my older brother (Cha Seo-won), so I was always happy and happy. I was grateful because I felt that she always cared for me and liked me a lot." He continued, “I wonder if Wonyoung was real and if Yoon Taejun was real, this is what it would look like.”

Gongchan said, "I don't have the score I expected, but of course I have a strong hope that it will do well. However, if people who are unfamiliar with the BL genre enjoy watching it, I think that alone will be a success."

When asked if there were any works that inspired or looked after before filming 'Unintentional Romance Story', Gongchan said, "I also watched the movie 'Call Me by Your Name', and 'Semantic Error', 'They say you can become a wizard if you're a virgin until you're 30.' “I also looked after it,” he replied.

Gongchan, who said, “I also enjoyed the webtoon ‘Unintentional Love Story’ a lot,” said, “I think the sight of people liking someone, approaching them, opening their heart, and healing their wounds, regardless of gender, warmed my heart.”

Gongchan, who is also known for his extraordinary love for his fans, was asked what he spends the most time on each day. He answered, "I tend to spend the most time communicating with my fans. I share my daily life with my fans and look into their days." “I have a happy time watching it,” he said.

He also said, "It's been 12 years. When I see the fans who have loved me for such a long time, I think that's how well connected we are to each other. It's become a daily routine for me to think about the fans as well. Probably a lot more than the fans think." “I will think of them a lot,” he said honestly.

Gongchan also shared his future aspirations for the new year of 2023. “I plan to run harder than last year,” he said, expressing his wish to “become a person who is not embarrassed when anyone introduces me.” He added, “I want to become the kind of person that everyone can agree with without any animosity when someone says, ‘That person is cool.’”
