Park Seo Joon has come a long way since his college days at the Seoul Institute of the Arts. He recently celebrated his 10th anniversary in the world of K-Dramas and South Korean films.
While the days of his university years have been long gone, actresses Lee Cho Hee and Park Jin Joo revisited those days in an engagement they had with KBS 2TV for a Come Back Home episode. Soompi said that the Sunny actress mentioned her being classmates with the "rom-com master" ways back in college.
She said that they were in the same class and year. She, also, noted that they "grew up together as actors, starting from [their] baby years."
Considering that Lee Cho Hee attended the same school, she was asked whether she, also, met Park Seo Joon. The actress responded that they were not in the same class because they were an older batch.
She continued, though, that the Hwarang actor was the "student who stood out for being handsome." She even added that "he looked really cool" during those times.
The Once Again star, then, recalled being friends with Park Seo Joon. She claimed that the actor even once came over to her house after playing soccer.
Meanwhile, Park Seo Joon seemingly appears to be quite occupied with his schedule these days. The Republic World reported that he is likely gearing up for his upcoming roles in two new films.
As noted, his stint with idol IU for Dream will materialize later this year. The other film that he has been working on is Concrete Utopia, which will, reportedly, hit the big screens next year.
Reports said that the actor already wrapped up the filming and shooting for Dream earlier in November. Despite this, though, it remains unclear when the movie will premiere.
Outside films and movies, a separate report from Soompi recently said that Park Seo Joon received an offer for a new series lead role. The claims came from an "industry representative," who stated that the role will be for Gyeongseong Creature.
Following the headlines, the actor's agency released an official comment about the matter. As revealed, the Itaewon Class star only received the synopsis of the series, and has yet to obtain the official script. Nevertheless, they are to make a decision after checking his schedule.
Gyeongseong Creature is, reportedly, a "thriller about survival and human dignity." It follows the stories of youth "who lived during a time when sovereignty and human rights were taken away from them."
