In a new interview after Our Beloved Summer's finale, Choi Woo Shik spoke candidly about how he and Choi Ung differ in terms of their personality. According to the actor, he tends to be more honest compared to his character in real life.
"Unlike Choi Woong, I tend to be more honest. If I like something, I tend to express it a lot. However, it felt foreign to do so in front of a camera. Even though it was acting, I was a bit embarrassed for the first date scene," he explained.
