    Dia sangat cakap dalam karakter penjahat tetapi dalam hal romantis..kata-kata atau kalimat naskah sangat cocok untuknya, yang artinya sangat cocok dengan cara dia bereaksi melalui karakter tersebut..dia sangat menyukainya dan aku merasakan reaksinya dalam hal itu..Yong-si, aku mendukungmu selalu dan tetap sehat..

    Dia sangat baik dengan perannya terutama sebagai karakter Villain. Tapi saya ingin melihat lebih banyak sisi ceria dan romantisnya dengan akhir yang bahagia tentunya (belum lagi drama sebelumnya, di mana dia akhirnya putus asa)
