Actor Yoo Yeon-seok, “I’m not the senior villain in the movie ‘Architecture 101.’”

Actor Yoo Yeon-seok mentioned the scene in ‘Architecture 101’ where he takes Suzy home.

Actor Yoo Yeon-seok of the TV drama 'Unlucky Misdiagnosis Day' appeared as a guest on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz'), which aired on the 22nd.

On this day, Yoo Yeon-seok mentioned an anecdote about how he became a 'bad person' to the audience due to his role as Gangnam senior in the movie 'Introduction to Architecture'. Yoo Yeon-seok, who debuted as the younger version of Yoo Ji-tae (Lee Woo-jin) in director Park Chan-wook's 2003 film 'Old Boy', is an actor in his 20th year. Yoo Yeon-seok said that he was filled with new emotions as he celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut, saying, "It is truly an honor for me that my debut film is 'Old Boy.' To celebrate the 20th anniversary, this year it was re-released and a screening was held."

In particular, Yoo Yeon-seok has mainly played villains who reveal the desires hidden behind an innocent face. Among them, the scene where he takes the main character Seo-yeon (Suzy) home as a Gangnam senior in 'Architecture 101' was said to have been an opportunity to provoke the audience's anger. Yoo Yeon-seok said, "Actually, it's not a villain. It's the role that male audiences hate the most. Why do you ask Suzy? You helped Suzy when she was drunk, but she turned out to be a bad person in the world." In 'A Werewolf Boy', he also played a villainous role as Ji-tae (Yoo Yeon-seok), a saboteur who disrupts the relationship between the main character Soon-i (Park Bo-young) and the wolf boy (Song Joong-ki).

He appeared as baseball player Chilbong in tvN's 'Reply 1994' (2013) and showed a pure and meticulous character rather than a villain image. Yoo Yeon-seok revealed that he gave a free hug in Myeongdong as a promise for viewer ratings at the time, and also revealed an anecdote related to his parents. Yoo Yeon-seok expressed his gratitude to his parents, saying, "My son, who said he wanted to be an actor since he was young, cried when he saw the love he received from so many fans. My mother traveled back and forth between Seoul and Jinju to look after my brother and I. I am so grateful." .

Additionally, Yoo Yeon-seok also said that he once had a heartbreaking unrequited love. Yoo Yeon-seok said, "When I was a freshman in college, I had a crush on a senior for about a year. At that time, I loved alone, suffered alone, and broke up alone. I went on the express bus with that senior and on the way back, I thought, 'I can't achieve this with this senior.'" I recalled that time.

“I thought I would sort it out on my own, but he asked me to eat a hamburger. A senior brought me a hamburger and as soon as I took a bite, I felt like crying, so I put the hamburger down and ran out. After that, I bought a bouquet of flowers and said, ‘No more juniors. “I confessed, ‘Can’t I be your boyfriend?’ The senior said, ‘I think it would be difficult.’ I said thank you and came back and gave up my feelings,” he added.

Jo Se-ho, who heard this, asked, "I've been asking that question lately. Are you the type of person who asks, 'Can I kiss you before I kiss you?'" and Yoo Yeon-seok said, "I've talked a lot about my unrequited love while crying while eating a hamburger, so why is it suddenly a kissing question?" I was puzzled. Jo Se-ho responded that he asked because they were talking about dating, and Yoo Yeon-seok answered honestly, "I don't ask (before kissing)."

Meanwhile, TVN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'The Day of Misdiagnosis' starring Yoo Yeon-seok tells the story of an ordinary taxi driver, Oh Taek (Lee Sung-min), who takes a high-paying customer (Yoo Yeon-seok) to the countryside and begins a journey of fear when he realizes that he is a serial killer. It's a story. It aired on tvN from November 20th, and Part 1 will be released on TVING at 12pm on November 24th.
