Seo In-guk Shares Behind-the-Scenes Details of 'Monthly Boyfriend' Kiss Scene

Actor Seo In-guk has shared behind-the-scenes details of the kiss scene in 'Monthly Boyfriend.'

Recently, a video titled 'Monthly Boyfriend Seo In-guk Permanent Purchase (Be My Husband)' was released on the YouTube channel 'Elle Korea.'

In the video, Seo In-guk discussed his dual roles in the Netflix series 'Monthly Boyfriend.' When asked which character he would choose as a romantic partner, he decisively answered, "My preference is Park Kyung-nam."

Seo explained, "Goo Young-il is a dopamine-inducing type but too free-spirited, so he might keep dragging me around," adding, "Park Kyung-nam is calm yet playful, offering both fun and comfort." He also noted that Park Kyung-nam is similar to his real personality, saying, "I like reading comics and peeling tangerines at home, which is similar to me."

He also mentioned his chemistry with co-star Ji-soo, saying, "We went to karaoke and sang 'Our Love As It Is' together. It was truly an honor."

Regarding the much-talked-about kiss scene, Seo admitted to being a 'kiss master,' recalling, "During filming, my hands were so cold they turned purple. My ears were red, so we had to cover them with makeup. My face was frozen, and I don't know how I delivered my lines. It was always a battle with the cold."

Seo shared the challenges of filming in the cold, saying, "Cold is really tough. Heat can be solved by going somewhere cool, but cold takes a long time to warm up. Even in a warm place, you don't instantly feel happy."

On his rigorous self-management for the role, Seo stated, "In romantic comedies, you need to give off a sense of excitement, so I lose weight. There's no secret; I just eat less and endure."

He humorously added, "I know I look better with less weight, but it means losing 15kg of happiness from my life."

Regarding his new album plans, Seo said, "I'm continuously working on it, but it takes time until I'm satisfied. I hope to greet everyone with good music when the opportunity arises."
