"When I see people around me meet someone great and start a family, I feel very proud of them. It would be a lie to say I'm not jealous, but right now I love my work so much, and doing projects is the most important things to me."
On the 11th, at a cafe in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Ahn Bohyun shared these thoughts during an interview following the final episode of tvN drama 'Spring Fever.' Born in 1988, Ahn Bohyun shared various stories about the project and opened up about his current thoughts on marriage.
'Spring Fever,' based on a Webtoon, is a hot pink romance story about a cold teacher, Yoon Bom (played by Lee Joobin), and a man with a burning heart who melts even the coldest feelings, Son Jaegyu (played by Ahn Bohyun). On the 10th, the drama ended successfully with its highest viewer ratings of 5.7%. Ahn Bohyun was praised for his perfect synchronization to the character, Son Jaegyu, who is described as a 'straightforward country femme-fatale.'
Last year, Ahn Bohyun gained attention for attending the wedding of Kim Woobin and Shin Minah, along with Kwaktube, who is known to be his close friend. Now that he is in his late 30s and surrounded by many married friends, he laughed when asked about his marriage plans, saying, "It's not something that you can do alone, is it?" He added, "I love kids so much, so I do get jealous of my friends who are married." However, he emphasized that for now, "My love for work is much greater than my desire for marriage."
"I'm joining the filming of 'Flex X Cop 2' the day after tomorrow, I'm so excited. Other actors went to the first shoot yesterday and sent me photos from the set. I also love communicating with the director. Even on my day off, I'm so excited that I keep thinking, 'Should I just go to the set? Should I stop by?'"
Ahn Bohyun said, "I want to keep this excitement I feel for my work as long as possible. If I had to juggle both work and marriage at the same time right now, wouldn't things get complicated? I really want to focus only on work."
He also opened up about his struggles with acting, saying, "On the outside, Jaegyu's character might look comfortable, simple, and doesn't have major difficulties. But inside, I struggle a lot. I often worried, 'Is this right? Or is that right?' or 'What if this action causes misunderstandings?' I even prepared different tones for every line."
He added, "Seeing the positive reactions from viewers made me think that maybe I can put more strength into what I do and say, that maybe I can be more confident. As the worries I had turned into great love from the fans, it feels like I gained courage as an actor. This project made me want to express myself even more boldly no matter what character I play next."
After finishing 'Spring Fever,' Ahn Bohyun will immediately begin filming for 'Flex X Cop 2.' He also mentioned the kind of roles he wants to try i the future, saying, "Personally, I think the only proper villain role I've done so far was in 'Itaewon Class.' If I get the chance, I want to challenge myself with a strong, impactful villain role. It doesn't matter if it's in a movie or a drama. I hope for a chance to show a completely new side of myself through a character."
