Because it’s a fantasy creature feature, which is far removed from reality, I think I tried to ponder a lot whenever I couldn’t understand something. I reflected deeply on the mindset of Hyun Soo (his character)."

Talking about the nude scene, he said, "My hands were sweating." He added, "I put a lot of effort into it, especially the back. I worked hard to prepare a back that looked enraged (meaning jacked). I talked a ton with the director to create the scene. And it turned out beautifully, which made me very satisfied."

He further laughed and said, "I’m naturally very shy. I’m grateful to the director for that scene. It halved my shyness. I sincerely thank the director for helping me grow and mature as an actor."

Meanwhile, director Lee Eung Bok expressed his vies and said, "The part that moved me the most in that scene was at the very end. It’s where he empathizes with the monster and sheds tears. The monster isn’t real, but he portrayed the sadness so poignantly. He’s become a wonderful actor, capable of evoking emotions even in difficult situations."
