Actor Ahn Hyo Seop shows a charm like a soboro bread that is crispy outside and soft inside with the Matthew Lee character.
In SBS's new Wednesday-Thursday drama Sold Out Again Today, which will premiere on the 22nd, Ahn Hyo Seop, who plays Matthew Lee, a young farmer who pursues perfection, personally shared the character's behind-the-scenes.
In particular, Sold Out Again Today has attracted attention as the work that reunites Ahn Hyo Seop (as Matthew Lee) and SBS after a long time. In response, Ahn Hyo Seop said, "Being called 'SBS's son' is a little embarrassing, but it also feels like support and trust. Also, since Business Proposal, it's been a while since a light romantic comedy, so I'm looking forward to that aspect. I'm grateful to be able to participate in the work," expressing gratitude for the warm interest.
Moreover, having captivated fans around the world as 'K-pop Demon Hunters' and risen as the 'global rom-com king,' expectations are growing for the romantic comedy character Ahn Hyo Seop will newly present. When asked to give a keyword for the Matthew Lee character, Ahn Hyo Seop answered "soboro bread," and recalled his first impression: "He seems hard and cold, but he has a warm heart inside. Even if it doesn't look like it on the outside, he cares for and thinks about the people around him a lot, so Matthew also looked like a friend who needs attention and love. That's why he drew my attention more."
To portray this Matthew Lee character in particular, he said, "I paid a lot of attention to my eyes when working. Since he is a young farmer, the head of a raw materials company, and a cosmetics researcher, handling many jobs, I thought he would be professional and flawless in his fields. On the other hand, he seemed clumsy in relationships with the village people. I imagined a cute side of him who, though not perfect, is earnest and wants to help while being a bit prickly," and explained the points he emphasized in his own way.
He added, "If I sum it all up, the part I focused on most was 'sincerity.' Matthew Lee is sincere in everything, and whether it's about people's feelings or his own work, he always approaches it with sincerity," which increases curiosity about the Matthew Lee character Ahn Hyo Seop will portray.
Finally, Ahn Hyo Seop named a viewing point: "This work is something you can watch while eating. I think a good message is universal. Not only in Korea but people everywhere have various worries in daily life, and everyone has their own stresses, but I hope this becomes a work that can comfort people, even briefly, with a tasty meal," he said, amplifying anticipation for the cozy excitement he will convey through Sold Out Again Today.
Sold Out Again Today will premiere on Wednesday the 22nd at 9 p.m.
