Interviews

[170720] PD Interview

Q. The handsome Minho appears as a ‘loser in his past years’.
PD: “He is handsome no matter how we dress him. Minho is Minho even when he wears a wig and glasses.
But I think the characteristics of that role can be found in everyone. I think everyone is inarticulate and timid in some ways.”

Q. Why did you cast Minho?
PD: “We needed a boy. And someone who could play the role of both a boy and an adult. Minho exactly fit that image.
Minho is pure and good-hearted. He also works very hard too. He studied the script very hard even though his schedule must be
intensive. He also establishes the character on his own too.” – translation by @thatcoolcatmeow
