In an interview with the magazine, he revealed why he decided to star on Bong Joon-ho’s latest film “Okja.”

“I starred in ‘Okja’ because I would get to work with director Bong Joon-ho. I choose the roles base on great directors whom I want to work with,” he said.

He also revealed his interest on Korean dramas. “I watched ‘Reply 1988.’ I like it very much. I watched the whole episodes in one sitting with my friends for more than 20 hours,” he said.
