He then spoke about his character, revealing his thoughts about On Dal, and also compared his roles from Mr. Queen and River Where The Moon Rises!

He is a clear and pure character. We often know the character as “stupid” On Dal, but the more I read the script, the more my heart hurt for him because he chose that kind of life because of his situation. I wanted to express the pure and bright side of On Dal in detail.

My character in Mr. Queen didn’t achieve love, but in this next project I was able to have a happy ending.

Na In Woo then revealed that he was initially a trainee under JYP Entertainment, and shared his casting story! He revealed that in middle school, he already surpassed 180 cm, and caught the eyes of a casting director with his tall height and visuals!

I made up my mind to become an actor when I was 19. It was starting then that I worked really hard.

After moving to CUBE Entertainment, he booked his first leading role in River Where The Moon Rises and in the interview, shared that he hopes to be an actor that will be remembered for a long time and not just for a glimpse of the spotlight.

When I work on a project, I want to hear people say, “It’s obvious that he is that character” because I want to be good at acting.

I hope that people will remember me as a respectful and well-mannered guy.
