Heo Seong-tae "I run non-stop because of my mother"

Actor Heo Seong-tae confessed that his mother was the driving force behind his prolific work.

On the 4th, an interview with Coupang Play's 'Bait' Heo Seong-tae was conducted at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul.

On this day, Heo Seong-tae said, "I feel like I work non-stop because of my mother. My father passed away and my mother retired from the job she had been doing her whole life and is now alone. I hope you feel at ease when you see me on TV."

He added, "He is in his late 70s, and I taught him how to operate the TV. He also signed up for Netflix, Coupang Play, and Disney Plus. I think it's the only filial piety I can do now."

'Bait' tells the story of people who track down 'that guy' who committed the worst fraud in history and hid behind death. Heo Seong-tae plays Noh Sang-cheon, the godfather of multi-level financial fraud and a person who symbolizes absolute evil.
