Rowoon, previously known as a member of the K-pop group SF9, has openly shared his thoughts on his decision to leave the group and pursue acting.
A video was uploaded on the YouTube channel ‘Jo Hyun-ah’s Thursday Night‘ on April 25th, titled ‘The Perfect Rom-Com Lead, The Ideal Young Master, The Man of My Dreams Kim Seok Wool, I Wish I Had Given Birth to Him‘.
Rowoon, who first stepped into the limelight as a member of SF9 in 2015, made the decision to leave the group last year and focus on his acting career.
He revealed, “I was confident about my decision. I had been grappling with my own concerns for a long time. I was aware that there would be risks involved.”
He further added, “But we only live once. I have to shoulder these risks, and I need to work even harder to prove myself.”
Rowoon also shared his passion for acting, saying, “I was captivated by it from my very first project.” He fondly recalled his favorite work, ‘Extraordinary You‘, saying, “It was my first time playing a lead role. Kim Hye Yoon, Lee Jae Wook, Kim Young Dae, Jung Gun Joo and I were all new to the scene, and the show was a fantasy genre, so we really put our heads together to prepare for it. We would meet up at a cafe, read through the script, and even grab a beer afterwards.”
He concluded by saying, “When you’re comfortable with your co-workers, it doesn’t feel like a big deal. This is a mindset I never want to lose.”
