Actor Byun Yo-han Opens Up About Challenges in 'Pavane' and Painful Hair Transformation

Actor Byun Yo-han, known as Tiffany Young's boyfriend, recently shared his struggles with scalp pain.

On the morning of the 12th, a press conference for the Netflix film 'Pavane' was held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam, Seoul. The event was attended by actors Go Ah-sung, Byun Yo-han, Moon Sang-min, and director Lee Jong-pil.

During the press conference, Byun Yo-han explained, “In the movie, I use a lot of metaphorical language to express my emotions honestly. Instead of just saying 'it hurts,' I use words that transcend that. It was quite challenging to express this, so I had many discussions with the director. I acted as if I wasn't hurt, even though I was. The character Yo-han is someone who observes and supports two people. I put a lot of effort into portraying the deep heaviness within him. He's a complex character.”

He continued, “I bleached my hair for the first time, and my scalp was really painful. It was a tough hairstyle to maintain. I didn't dye the roots because I saw them as a symbol of hope. The black roots represent hope, while the remaining colors symbolize the scars Yo-han has endured.”

Meanwhile, 'Pavane' is a story about three people who have closed off their hearts but become lights for each other, facing life and love together. It will be available on Netflix starting the 20th.
