Actor Koo Kyo-hwan shared his thoughts on his prolific career and active promotional activities. Through an interview for the film 'Reawaken Man: The Red' held at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on August 21, Koo Kyo-hwan conveyed his convictions regarding his acting career.

According to media reports, Koo Kyo-hwan met audiences with 'Once We Were Us' and 'Colony' in the first half of the year, and following 'Reawaken Man: The Red' which releases in September, he will consecutively present works up to 'Heavy Snow'. Regarding the reason why his working appearance is particularly noticeable, he explained that as someone with the profession of an actor, work is enjoyable and there is no reason to refuse whenever opportunities arise. He also added a joke, saying he is grateful to his parents for the fact that although he does a similar amount of work as others, it is particularly noticeable.

In particular, an anecdote was mentioned regarding how he attended stage greetings for various works, including 'Colony' recently, 'Once We Were Us', and 'Escape', a total of 150 times each. Koo Kyo-hwan stated that he has always valued meeting the audience, to the extent that he once handled stage greetings for 30 consecutive days in the past. He revealed a philosophy that he believes the process of meeting the audience directly in the theater and sharing impressions is the completion of a film.

Meanwhile, 'Reawaken Man: The Red', starring Koo Kyo-hwan, is an action film that tells the story of Seok-hwan, a job seeker full of groundless confidence, who discovers the ability to resurrect 72 hours after dying and undergoes a mysterious pursuit. The work is scheduled to be released on August 30.
