Kim Soo Hyun recently graced the pages of Arena Homme Plus Korea magazine with a series of stunning photos!

After the shoot, Kim Soo Hyun spoke about his current hit drama “Queen of Tears” and also revealed his thoughts on acting and his hobbies.

When asked about his growing popularity and his recent activities, he said, “I’m happy that I’m receiving so much love. I’ve been traveling around Asia since June and have visited Bangkok, Yokohama, Manila, and Taipei. Next I’m going to Hong Kong, Jakarta, and finally Seoul. I enjoyed the local food and managed to fit a little trip into my busy schedule.” I’m also preparing for a new project and recharging my batteries.”

Returning to his fans after a long break from “Queen of Tears,” he said, “I worked hard on the drama for a year and wanted to tell a really good story about love and family with ‘Queen of Tears.’ I think I achieved my goal because people laughed, empathized with the story, and cried while watching the drama. When I tour, I realize how much ‘Queen of Tears’ is loved by so many people. There are many people who got to know me for the first time through ‘Queen of Tears.’ I will continue to work hard. I am grateful to the fans who loved (my character) Baek Hyun-woo and Queen of Tears with all their hearts, and to the Queen of Tears team.

He talked about his experience of filming Queen of Tears: “I remember carefully planning both my work days and my days off. On one of my days off, I went to the zoo, which was much bigger than I expected. I also remember the first time I ate pork knuckle. It was a big shock. If you travel to Germany, you should definitely try it at least once. I highly recommend it.”

When asked how he wanted to present “Queen of Tears” to viewers and what impact he hopes it will have, Kim Soo-hyun said, “I want viewers to feel inspired and express their own emotions to their family, partners and friends. I hope that ‘Queen of Tears’ will be an unforgettable drama that people will want to watch again someday.”

When asked about his criteria for choosing a project, he said, “I look at the appeal of the character and whether I want to breathe life into it. When I read the script for ‘Queen of Tears,’ I was drawn to Baek Hyun-woo, who is sincere and intelligent, but also has a pathetic side. It was my first time playing a husband, so it was a new challenge for me to portray the dynamics between a husband and wife and life with his parents-in-law.”

On the appeal of acting, she said, “Acting requires constant observation. Every aspect is a challenge: understanding others, sensing the mood in the room, dealing with emotional outbursts, controlling your own body. None of this is easy.”

When asked if he ever lazed around watching TV at home, Kim Soo Hyun replied, “Of course I have.” I was recently moved by ‘Physical:100′. I was impressed by the contestants’ dedication to fitness and their passion throughout the show.

” Kim Soo Hyun has many hobbies as can be seen on social media, so he was asked about his recent favorite. He said, “I rode a bicycle for the first time in Jeju Island before it got too hot. It was a great way to exercise and relax. From now on, I’m going to focus only on acting.”
