Single's Inferno 5 cast member Shin Hyun-woo makes a fresh start as a rookie actor, stored in Hong Seok-cheon's Jewel Box.
Shin Hyun-woo appeared on the segment "Hong Seok-cheon's usefulness" of Hong Seok-cheon's Jewel Box, which was released on the 9th.
Shin Hyun-woo, who gained recognition through Single's Inferno, said he is preparing to begin full-fledged activities as an actor, and Hong Seok-cheon also said, "His looks are too valuable to be only an athlete. I think he can grow more by acting than by doing variety shows. Shin Hyun-woo is a friend who fully possesses the charm that draws people in," agreeing.
Having experienced both sports and acting, Shin Hyun-woo said, "Broadcasting and sports are similar in that they express stories through the body and require flexibility appropriate to the situation. But if sports are a process of excluding emotion and strictly performing as practiced, acting feels more difficult in that it must use rich emotion to evoke viewers' empathy."
Named Lee Byung-hun as his role model, Shin Hyun-woo said, "I study and practice detailed acting by watching masterpieces like 'Joint Security Area (JSA)' and Masquerade. In the early days I practiced mainly monologues from famous works, but now I'm also trying original acting. Together with classmates from acting school, I'm researching diverse genres like detective stories and noir to broaden my spectrum," he said.
Shin Hyun-woo added, "I want to keep challenging myself toward my goals as I am now. No matter the environment, I will be grateful for the given circumstances and adapt with a constant learning attitude. I will continue to do my best so I can reach my ultimate goal of becoming an actor."
Meanwhile, Netflix's Single's Inferno season 5 was released on Jan. 20. It met viewers as a 12-episode series.
