MBLAQ‘s G.O. has shared his feelings on making his acting
debut as a fixed cast member through SBS‘s new drama, ‘Phantom‘.
G.O. is currently starring in the drama as a gamer turned
cyber security officer named ‘Lee Tae Gyun’. His character previously worked in
the gaming industry for the development of hack shields before getting his
skills recognized enough to join the cyber investigation team.
Funnily enough, he’s never once harmed a bug in his life,
let alone hit another person, so the cases he takes on leaves him stunned and
surprised. Fortunately, he has a passionate drive and an innocent albeit naive
personality that makes him an endearing character.
G.O. expressed, “It was definitely not an easy try but every
moment is fun and I’m feeling the charm of the career. It feels like I’m on a
fun vacation since I’m developing relationships with the cast on set and
visiting places I’ve never been before.”
He went on to reveal that senior actors Kwon Hae Hyo and Im
Ji Kyu were giving him a lot of support. “One time, we were filming into the
early morning when So Ji Sub senior came up to me and lightly hit my shoulder
while asking if I was fatigued. That question really made me feel closer to him
and made me choke up.”
He continued, “Director Kim Hyung Shik is really detailed in
his directing so I learn a lot from him. I’m not good because it’s my first
time but I trust that my acting will gain quality once I follow his lead.”
The director added, “Even at times when G.O. doesn’t have
scenes to film, he’s always waiting for hours on end to watch the other actors
and learn from them. Once, he even stayed until the early morning. I recognize
that he’s a big star in the music industry so I was surprised to see how
dilligent he worked.”
