Actor Go Soo Reflects on Challenging Roles and Upcoming Projects on 'Baekban Journey'

On the latest episode of TV Chosun's 'Baekban Journey with Heo Young-man', actor Go Soo shared insights into his acting career and explored culinary delights in Busan.

During the episode aired on the 22nd, Go Soo visited Busan, a significant location for his drama 'Piano' and film 'The Front Line'. He eagerly took the wheel to discover local eateries.

As Go Soo received a warm welcome at the restaurant, Heo Young-man humorously compared him to Italy's David statue, saying, "He's handsome." Go Soo, feeling shy, responded, "People don't usually say 'You're kind, you're very handsome,'" to which Heo Young-man added, "You look kind too."

When asked if acting was his dream from the start, Go Soo revealed, "No, I wasn't street-cast. I circulated my profile photos and attended many auditions."

Recalling his debut on the National Theater stage, Go Soo said, "I debuted as the third dwarf in 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. Park Hae-il was the prince who rode in on a horse."

Go Soo cited 'Piano', where he played a character in love with his stepsister, as his most challenging role. "I had little acting experience, so I relied on instinct. I haven't done light-hearted romance; most of my works are quite poignant," he explained.

He also discussed the film 'Love 911', describing it as a romance where "a man, who lost his wife, is pestered by someone new, leading to a love story."

Looking ahead, Go Soo expressed excitement for his upcoming project 'Reverse', where he plays a tragic male lead in a mystery melodrama about a man whose fiancée loses her memory in an accident.

Finally, Go Soo shared a humorous anecdote from filming the drama 'Green Rose', recalling a scene where he ran to his mother with mackerel. "While waiting, a cat stared at me and wobbled over. I gave the mackerel to the cat and ran with a stone instead," he said, bringing laughter to the set.
