During a recent appearance on Jo Hyun Ah’s “Thursday Night” on YouTube, Rowoon shared her experiences and difficulties in playing same-sex romance roles, including her special appearance alongside Ahn Hyo Seop.
It was during this show that Jo Hyun Ah and Rowoon recounted their first meeting through a mutual friend, PO, at a bowling alley, during which an accidental loss gave birth to a lasting friendship. Jo Hyun Ah pointed out how impressed she was that Rowoon spent 30 minutes alone at the bowling alley after their game ended.
When Jo Hyun Ah pointed out that Rowoon would be a great fit for a role in a gay drama, the conversation took a turn and he responded: “I made a special appearance as a couple with Ahn Hyo Seop in one of her projects”. As Jo asked if the role involved kissing, Rowoon clarified : “We just held hands, it was so boring”, he said, clearly embarrassed by the memory of this scene while adding that he did not like the intense attention of the people around him while he delivered his text.
Responding to Jo Hyun Ah’s question about whether it was difficult to embody the loving gaze required in a romantic role, Rowoon sighs: » That’s why I hated being the center of attention. “ Pouring himself a glass of soju, he quickly concludes the subject with a laugh: » It was important to make a special appearance in a project in which a friend was passionately involved. “
Meanwhile, Jo Hyun Ah’s show “Thursday Night” releases a new episode every Thursday at 19 p.m. KST on YouTube.
