Actor Go Soo Reflects on His Early Career Struggles and Memorable Roles

Actor Go Soo recently opened up about his early career struggles.

On the October 22nd episode of TV Chosun's 'Baekban Journey with Heo Young-man' (hereafter 'Baekban Journey'), Go Soo explored the culinary delights of Busan.

During the episode, Go Soo visited local eateries in Busan, the filming location for his drama 'Piano' and movie 'The Front Line', even taking the wheel himself to show his enthusiasm.

When asked if he always dreamed of being an actor, Go Soo replied, "No, it wasn't my initial dream. I wasn't street-cast either. I distributed a lot of profile photos and attended numerous auditions."

Go Soo, who once performed on the National Theater stage, shared, "I debuted as the third dwarf in 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. While I was asking, 'Where is the princess?', Park Hae-il made a grand entrance as the prince on horseback."

Go Soo cited 'Piano', where he played a character with feelings for his stepsister, as his most challenging role. "Due to my limited acting experience, I relied on instinctive acting. I haven't done many light-hearted romantic roles; most of my work has been emotionally intense," he explained.

He added, "In the movie 'Love 911', I played a character who, after losing his wife, is pursued by someone persistent, leading to a romantic storyline. It was about cherishing a love that had passed."
