'Korean drama has a long way to go'
City Times chats with Lee Kyu Hyung who will be part of the upcoming Korean Film Fest in Dubai
It was definitely not an easy journey, but I have always enjoyed it though. It makes you happy when you are doing what you like.
It was physically difficult to juggle different things right after I finished my military service. Back then, I was working a part time job to earn my university tuition, prepared the graduation stage while having classes during the term, and performed a play at Daehangno (a street of culture and art in Seoul, Korea) all at the same time. It was exhausting and I was only in my mid 20s at that time. Still, I was happy.
It is very important for the continuous evolution of the industry. It's a blessing that the technology has reached the current level enabling almost anything to be possible in any area in so many different ways.
I'm very proud to be a Korean. However, I think Korean drama still has a long way to go before it can catch up to Hollywood films. Thanks to all the interests in Korean dramas or K-Pop from all around the world, the industry could be more inspired and more talents could be born.
I've grown up listening to the stories of Arabian Nights. Not only me, but most of my generation would have grown up listening or reading the stories of Sinbad, Ali Baba and Aladdin. UAE and the Middle East, is a place that fascinates people like me with its exciting stories.
Even if it's a short one, it will be a time to connect with the fans. I cannot tell the fans what to expect, but this opportunity itself is really precious to me.
As I mentioned earlier, I cannot wait to meet the fans. Other than that, I really wish to visit the desert.
I'm not really active. I occasionally post my photos or videos to interact with my fans. I think social media is like a double-edged sword that you always have to handle wisely and with caution.
People often ask me if I'm a workaholic, and yes, I like working more than being idle. Currently I'm filming a drama, Doctor Cha, which is expected to air next month, and I'll start performing in a musical called Cyrano in a few months. There is also another plan to start filming a movie by the end of this year. I would like to work without a pause.
