Actor Ahn Hyo Seop shared his feelings ahead of revealing his first next project since 'K-pop Demon Hunters.'
On the afternoon of the 15th, at the SBS building in Mok-dong, Yangcheon District, Seoul, an SBS press conference was held for the new Wednesday-Thursday drama Sold Out Again Today. The event was attended by actors Ahn Hyo Seop, Chae Won-bin and Kim Beom, along with director Ahn Jong-yeon, who talked about the show.
Sold Out Again Today (hereafter "Sold Out Again Today") is a seasonal romance delivering thrills directly from the field about "modern-day sold-outers," unfolding as perfectionist farmer Matthew Lee (aka Mechuri) and sellout-minded shopping host Dam Yejin become entangled day and night, raising expectations about what kind of narrative will be written when people who always do their best at their work meet.
That day Ahn Hyo Seop said about revealing his first work since 'K-pop Demon Hunters,' "Actually, I finished recording K-pop Demon Hunters before shooting Sold Out Again Today. When I received the script I read up to episode 3, and I had done serious, emotionally draining work and was at a point of questioning the direction of my life, and this work I saw gave me a lot of healing."
He added, "The way Matthew Lee and Dam Yejin live day to day resonated with me. So rather than saying I prepared hard, I tried to accept the rural environment where I filmed and also experienced the life of a farmer," and mentioned the preparation process: "I learned how to use a tiller, but I had to carry a senior, so I practiced hard. To me it felt like a car; it was a 911 and a Huracán. If there's something I prepared, it might be my mindset and safe tiller operation."
Was there any pressure about this being the next project released after 'K-pop Demon Hunters'? Ahn Hyo Seop said, "Honestly, I'm grateful that people love the path I've taken. I am truly fully devoted only to Sold Out Again Today. If that path is helpful, I am thankful."
Since Lovers of the Red Sky, every time he met SBS with Dr. Romantic and Business Proposal the works were hits, and Ahn Hyo Seop even holds the moniker of SBS's son. On this point Ahn Hyo Seop said, "The title is very embarrassing and I am very grateful to have worked on many projects. If I read a script and like it, it's SBS. Today feels like returning to my hometown," adding, "Nothing changes if I feel pressure. I am focused on the present."
Meanwhile, SBS's Sold Out Again Today premieres on the 22nd.
