(continued from interview ②) Actor Park Ji-hwan talked about his hobbies.
On the 26th at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, an interview was held with Park Ji-hwan, the lead actor of the film "Boss" (director Ra Hee-chan, produced by HYBE Media Corp., provided/distributed by HYBE Media Corp.·Mindmark).
That day, when asked about the gap between his delicate heart and his distinctive visual, he said, "I've lived my whole life with this face, so I don't have that kind of disconnect," adding, "I don't even think about it, I just live. I'm not very interested. The company tells me to go to the dermatologist like crazy. I go two or three times a year. I don't go. I don't think I'm interested in my appearance."
He continued, "But these days I'm running, and senior Jung Woo-sung told me, 'You're getting more handsome. Keep your original intention.' He said, 'Three days is enough,'" which drew laughter.
He also mentioned a special connection when talking about his hobbies: "Hiking, walking, running. I definitely do these. One day I was running in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, and Hae-jin hyung was driving and ran into me. He said he was going running too."
He said, "On set, if it's 12 or 15 km I walk. When it's over I'll run, so I run. I take a bike. I really enjoy walking," adding, "It seems to be healing. I'm not trying to gain something. Someone's hobby might be drinking or chatting, but our work isn't just for us, we have to keep varying it. That can be stressful too. When I'm on a mountain or running, the right level is set. I think I do it because I like that."
Meanwhile, the film "Boss" is a comic action movie that depicts the desperate battle of organization members who fiercely "yield" the boss position to each other for the sake of their individual dreams ahead of the selection of the next boss, which determines the organization's future. It opens on Oct. 3.
