"Because the original work itself was so well done, I felt a lot of pressure and worry. However, since it was a work I really liked, I think I was very curious and excited about how I would act. I had some worries, but because of those worries, I had fun working on them."Actor Do Kyung-soo

expressed his feelings about returning to the movie 'The Untold Secret'.

The movie "The Untold Secret" depicts a miraculous magical moment that begins when Yoo Joon (Do Kyung-soo) and Jung-ah (Won Jin-ah) run into each other in a campus practice room where the secret of time is hidden. In particular, it attracted attention from the production stage by writing the original Taiwanese work of the same name, which was greatly loved in Korea in 2008.

Today (22nd), YTN met with Do Kyung-soo, who challenged a melodrama film for the first time since his debut through "Secret Untold," and talked about various things related to his work. Do Kyung-soo, who always had a thirst for the melodrama genre

, said, "I wanted to express the feeling of love that anyone can sympathize with, but I finally did melodrama with 'secret that I can't tell you'. "I've played many difficult or hurtful roles, but it was a fun experience to express different emotions," he said, expressing his satisfaction in participating in the work.

In particular, I felt a lot of newness by doing lines and facial expressions that I haven't done before. Do Kyung-soo said, "There are always many new points when I work, but there were many facial expressions and emotional lines that I had not expressed before while working on this work," adding that he felt surprisingly new emotions when he saw his face on the screen.

He then said, "I always want to show something new, and if I can challenge myself, I think I choose a work." He also predicted that he would play a villain in Disney+'s "The Sculpture City," which is currently filming, and show characters he has never seen before.

As the original film is known as the essence of fantasy romance, there must have been a lot of expectations and pressure. Do Kyung-soo said, "The scenario was mixed with burden and joy. However, I was very excited and excited because I was curious about how it would be expressed when I acted," he said.

Questions about EXO's activities and solo activities also continued. At a recent concert commemorating the 30th anniversary of SM, only Suho and Chanyeol were present as EXO members, and he answered "yes" without hesitation when asked if EXO could be active as a whole.

Do Kyung-soo then said, "I don't think you need to worry. EXO is doing well. We are continuing to prepare by calculating personal schedules," he stressed. However, he added that EXO's activities as a whole are not possible this year.

In addition, he released a digital single "Snowfall at Night" on the 17th, and he announced his plan to continue his solo career in a genre he had never done before.

Do Kyung-soo said, "If you have focused on acoustic music because you like pop ballads and R&B, your next album will be a bright, cheerful and exciting work. Just as each work has different characters, I want to continue to challenge hip-hop R&B or new genres."

At the end of the interview, he didn't forget his last love call for the movie. In particular, as the Korean film market has been in a slump recently, Do Kyung-soo sent a message of support to all Korean films that are being screened, in addition to "Untold Secrets."

He said, "I think there's a grip that a sound or screen that can only be felt in a movie theater can give. However, I am sad and worried that the number of people watching the movie in the movie theater seems to be decreasing. I personally hope that all the movies will go well and more people will visit the movie theater," he stressed.

"The Untold Secret," starring Do Kyung-soo, is set to be released on the 27th.
