Actor Park Seo-joon, "My biggest complex was my eyes. Before my debut, I was even advised to get plastic surgery."

Actor Park Seo-joon mentioned his experience of being recommended for plastic surgery before his debut.

Actor Park Seo-joon of the Netflix series 'Gyeongseong Creature' appeared as a guest on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz'), which aired on the 13th.

On this day, Park Seo-joon mentioned actress Han So-hee, who he worked with in the Netflix series 'Gyeongseong Creature', which will be released on December 22nd. MC Yoo Jae-seok said he was curious about Han So-hee, who is not usually seen on entertainment shows, and asked what kind of person she was.

Park Seo-joon, who heard this, said, "(Han So-hee) was jealous when I told her that I would be appearing on 'You Quiz'. She said, 'Will I have to build up my experience to be able to go out?'" He went on to say that although the filming period for 'Gyeongseong Creature' was nearly two years, he was very shy and only spoke out for a year. He added, "Strangely, I had a hard time saying things. I thought I should use honorifics and respect them to avoid making mistakes."

Park Seo-joon, who entered Hollywood for the first time by appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie 'The Marvels' (directed by Nia DaCosta) as Prince Yan, the leader of the planet Aladra, revealed the story behind his casting. Park Seo-joon said, "While filming the movie 'Concrete Utopia,' I got a call from Marvel Studios. So I had a zoom meeting with the director. I said that I wasn't sure if it was okay for me to appear because I wasn't really good at English, but the director said, 'I think you're good at acting.' He said, ‘I want to cast him.’ That’s how I ended up appearing.”

Regarding the atmosphere on set in Hollywood, which he personally experienced, Park Seo-joon said, "The most interesting thing is that people there only wait for the weekend. We only film until Friday and it is easy on the weekends. Even on weekdays, we film from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and always leave work." "You need this to be able to enter, and the day's script is attached to the name tag and given to you. When you receive the script, you receive it in a file that cannot be printed," he said.

He also told of his meeting with film director Bong Joon-ho while filming ‘The Marvels’ in England. Park Seo-joon also appeared in the movie 'Parasite'. He explained, "Director Bong Joon-ho came to the set next door. Since the movie 'Parasite' is famous, the local staff told me first that director Bong Joon-ho had come. We had a meal together. Director Bong paid the bill."

Park Seo-joon, who debuted in 2011 by appearing in Bang Yong-guk's M/V 'I Remember', confessed the difficult process of establishing himself as an actor. Park Seo-joon, who said that his biggest complex was his eyes, said, "When I first debuted, I received a lot of criticism about my eyes. At that time, I preferred dark looks, so I heard people say things like, 'Where did you come from?' and I received recommendations for plastic surgery. "It got smaller and smaller. It was difficult to invest in an uncertain future, but I held on and I think a good opportunity arose," he honestly said about his thoughts over the past years.
