Goo Kyo Hwan Chats About His New Film "Kill Boksoon," Excitement For "D.P. 2," And More

Goo Kyo Hwan has discussed his “Kill Boksoon” character in an interview with Allure!

When the interviewer asked about the similarities between Goo Kyo Hwan’s on-screen and real-life self, the actor answered, “In the end, they are all me. The scenarios are created by the script, but I think I draw inspiration from myself. Sometimes I imitate myself [when I am acting]. When it is most difficult, I ask myself more questions and reflect on myself. Ultimately, it all starts with me.”

Regarding acting concerns he has these days, Goo Kyo Hwan chose “Can it be this much fun?” He went on to explain that he enjoys going to set because acting is something that he loves doing.

After Goo Kyo Hwan revealed that he has never asked his agency for a break, the interviewer asked if that means he is constantly looking for new projects. Goo Kyo Hwan explained, “It’s not even that, I just only think about today. I don’t worry about the future or plan ahead. Plans fall apart anyway. I try planning for the near future first. Such as what I should eat for dinner and what scene I’m doing later. I just focus on the present.”

On how he recharges when he is worn out, Goo Kyo Hwan shared, “I like eating delicious foods and sleeping the most. If there’s a superpower I have, it’s that I can keep sleeping. I can sleep even when I’m not tired. It’s a very blessed skill.”

Including his new film “Kill Boksoon,” Goo Kyo Hwan has been working a lot with Netflix as of late, leading the interviewer to call him the “Son of Netflix.” Goo Kyo Hwan responded while laughing, “Son? I’m much older [than Netflix] to say I’m the son…”

He continued, “I’m a Netflix user too. I’m addicted to videos. I really enjoy watching something when I’m eating. That’s why I deliberately save some content. To watch when I am eating delicious food.”

Goo Kyo Hwan’s new Netflix film “Kill Boksoon” tells the story of the hitman industry’s legendary killer Gil Bok Soon (played by Jeon Do Yeon) who is also a single mother. Goo Kyo Hwan plays Han Hee Sung, a killer working alongside Gil Bok Soon at MK Ent. who is highly skilled but often overlooked.

Talking about how he came to join “Kill Boksoon,” he revealed, “I was actually filming a different project called ‘Escape‘ when I received the casting offer for Han Hee Sung. I said I wanted to do it even though it would honestly be a difficult schedule physically.”

Explaining why he was interested despite his tight schedule, Goo Kyo Hwan said, “I thought I’d feel good just participating in this project. I feel this way for all projects, but I wanted to be a team member of this work. As a fan of the producers and cast.” He added, “Luckily, there weren’t too many episodes so I was able to partake.”

The interviewer pointed out that a lot of talented actors are part of the “Kill Boksoon” cast, specifically mentioning lead actress Jeon Do Yeon. On successfully joining this cast, Goo Kyo Hwan shared, “It felt so good. To be honest, I keep going with this mindset. I went into [my character] Bang Goo Ppong of ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ with the same mindset. I was curious about Park Eun Bin‘s acting and I was also curious about the drama, so I asked them to please squeeze me in somehow and I went right in.”

Later this year, Goo Kyo Hwan is set to star in the second season of the popular Netflix series “D.P.” (stands for Deserter Pursuit). Describing his “D.P.” character Han Ho Yeol, the actor commented, “The fun thing about the position of ‘D.P’ is that I chase people down even though I’m not a police officer or detective. I think that’s why I was drawn to ‘D.P.’ It’s also a story of young people who have yet to develop. That’s why out of Han Ho Yeol’s lines, I like the line ‘We’re not even detectives’ the most.”

The interviewer spoke for all fans of “D.P.” when they expressed their excitement for Season 2, to which Goo Kyo Hwan replied, “Is that so? This is such an honor. I also have films and content I feel that way about.”

He elaborated, “What’s extra special about ‘D.P.’ is that it’s my first time filming a sequel. I have to act again as a character I’ve spent a long time with. My acting should be new, and at the same time it shouldn’t be new. That’s the fun part.”

“Kill Boksoon” was released worldwide on Netflix on March 31 and Goo Kyo Hwan’s full interview with Allure Korea will be available in the April issue.
