Recently, Cho Hangyeol did an interview with iMBC Entertainment at the MBC building in Mapo-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the end of tvN's 'Undercover Miss Hong.'
'Undercover Miss Hong' is a retro office comedy set in the late 1990s about Hong Geumbo, an elite securities supervisor in her 30s who goes undercover as a 20-year-old entry-level employee at a securities firm where suspicious transactions were detected.
In the drama, Cho Hangyeol played the role of Albert Oh, the grandson of the Hanmin Securities chairman and also the only son of executive Oh Deokgyu. In the final episode, his character gave up his title as a third-generation chaebol to pursue his dream of being a cinephile.
'Undercover Miss Hong' was a hit, surpassing a peak viewer ratings of 12%. Along with the great performance of lead actress Park Shinhye, the solid acting of supporting actors like Cho Hangyeol and Choi Jisoo also stood out.
Cho Hangyeol shared his thoughts on the show's success, saying, "The script was very solid. I had a feeling it would do well," adding, "I think it turned out even better because every actor had a story and the characters were clear."
Cho Hangyeol said he actually checked the reactions to the scenes he acted in and expressed his gratitude, saying, "I loved the comments saying that I'm good at playing cheeky or sly roles. Hearing people call me a 'very charming actor' made me proud, it gave me strength."
He gained attention for his handsome looks and recently made an appearance on the Youtube variety show 'Hong Seokcheon's Jewel Box.' He shared, "So many amazing people appear on that show. It was an honor to be recognized there for my looks as well."
Even the 'Top Gay' Hong Seokcheon told him that he resembles BTS' member Jin. Regarding this, Cho Hangyeol joked, "Sometimes people do say that. First of all, BTS is a group that I really like and enjoy listening to. As a Korean, I respect them so much. I love hearing people tell me that I look like Jin, but I'm sorry to the fans."
He added, "From now on, I want to keep showing an even more handsome side of myself."
'Undercover Miss Hong' finished on the 8th.
