In a subsequent interview, he revealed a calm inner self and mature attitude despite his busy shooting schedule. Regarding acting, he said, "In the past, I found answers by worrying alone, but now I learn through collaboration with others. I ask honestly about my shortcomings, and when necessary, seek help. The attitude of wanting to learn something new ultimately leads to growth."

He defines maturity not merely as the accumulation of age but as a matter of attitude, emphasizing, "I strive to be a predictable person and to maintain relationships with sincerity." He also noted that this attitude has enhanced his inner peace and positive influence from those around him.

The message he wants to convey to himself is, "'Persevere, it's not over yet.' It's important to comfort yourself in difficult times and to believe in yourself and move forward despite challenges."

About his upcoming project, , he noted, "This is a genre not commonly attempted in Korean drama. At first, it felt unfamiliar, but I participated purely because it is genuinely fun. While touched on comfortable daily life, is dopamine itself," expressing his anticipation.
