Lee Tae Sun Talks About Acting In "Hotel Del Luna" And His Goal As An Actor

Sep 27, 2019

Actor Lee Tae Sun, who played Yeon Woo in tvN’s latest hit “Hotel Del Luna,” talked about his role in an interview with Singles magazine.

He said, “It was a huge honor just being a part of such a buzzworthy drama. I’m a rookie, so I’ve still got a lot to learn, but IU, Yeo Jin Goo, and the other senior actors were so kind and considerate that filming was a lot of fun.”

On playing his character, Lee Tae Sun said, “If you just look at Yeon Woo’s scenes, there isn’t a lot with strong impact, so I felt that whenever I did have the screen, I would have to leave a strong impression. I thought a lot about how I could stick in the minds of viewers. I tried to calculate each expression, gaze, and action when I was acting.”

Lee Tae Sun has already begun filming for his next project, a drama special by KBS titled “Wreck Car” (literal title). He said, “Rather than taking a break, I thought it would be good to get started on my next project sooner.”

Lee Tae Sun, who started acting three years ago, said that at first, he wanted to be a star rather than an actor. He said, “Going to countless auditions and acting on set, I realized that I’d never be able to survive just with [wanting to be a star]. I naturally started to get more serious about acting, and whether large or small, I started to feel myself learning and growing after each role. Acting became fun, and I didn’t want to rest.”

He added, “I still have so much to learn, but like a marathon, I want to go slowly, for a long time. Though I have a long way to go to become an actor that can leave a strong impression with just one scene, I want to get there at my own pace.”
