reading both iu & wooseokโs interviews are so comforting. the way they express themselves with so much love and sincerity reflects a quiet wisdom iโll always adore
That's why IU's concerts are on another level. She personally checks every corner of the stadium, tests the sound, and even sits in Uaena seats to see the fans' view. I've never seen this level of professionalism and attention to detail from any artist.

โIf itโs a fear that requires me to put something really big on the line, then I'll just put it on the line and face that fear head-on.โ
The ending is still far away.
GQ: When was the last time you cried?
WS: Wow... when was it? Hold on. (Four seconds passed.) Ah, I cried a little while filming the drama. While acting in a scene. I think that's the last time I cried.
GQ: The drama youโre filming now? Solo Leveling?
WS: Yes. It was because the emotions I had to express in that scene were like that.
GQ: Itโs a fantasy genre packed with action. I thought there might also be physically tear-inducing factors, like sore muscles or your body not doing what you want it to, but it turns out you cried because of the scene itself.
WS: Thankfully, it wasnโt because of muscle soreness. (Laughs.) Action is fun. Of course, just because itโs an action genre doesnโt mean itโs all about action, you also have to express the characterโs emotions, so that part is difficult. But that's also what makes it fun. So Iโm filming while enjoying it in a slightly different way.
GQ: Itโs a relief to hear you're enjoying it.
WS: I know, right? I was surprised too. โAction is so much fun.โ
GQ: Today weโre going to talk about Byeon Wooseokโs tears.
WS: Hahahahahaha.
GQ: Why are you squeezing your eyes shut?
WS: No, itโs just... tears... hehe.
GQ: Eight years ago, Byeon Wooseok described himself as someone who cries easily.
WS: I said that? That I cry easily?
GQ: You said you cry when you watch movies, you cry when you watch dramas, and you cry when youโre sad in everyday life.
WS: Thatโs true. (Laughs.)
GQ: What about Byeon Wooseok now? Do you still cry easily?
WS: Um... ah... these days I havenโt been able to watch many dramas or movies. Since work has become busier, itโs been a little difficult to have time for myself. When I watch dramas or movies, I get deeply immersed in them, and I end up using a lot of emotional energy too. So recently I havenโt been able to watch much. I actually really love watching them.
