He then spoke about his philosophy of acting. Byeon Woo-seok said, “No matter how much one acts, it seems difficult to reach the moment when you can say it was ‘well done’,” and added, “Effort may not be everything, but I approach it believing it accounts for most of it. After spending time reading the script dozens of times and studying the character, I feel a little freer in front of the camera.”
Regarding the Milan shoot, he said, “I sensed the city's distinctive rhythm and energy” and “it paired well with Prada's calm yet tense atmosphere.”
Byeon Woo-seok's full pictorial and interview are available in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar Korea and on its official website.
