Yoo Yeon-seok recently spoke about feeling treated unfairly for his role in the movie ‘Architecture 101.’ On a recent episode of the TV show ‘You Quiz on the Block,’ he shared his concerns about being on a program mainly for famous people.
Despite being close to hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho, Yoo Yeon-seok admitted to feeling nervous. He expressed, "I was very nervous because ‘You Quiz’ is like a program for famous people. I think I should say something that touches the hearts of the viewers but I’m afraid that I’d rather cry first"
Yoo Yeon-seok is known for playing various roles, including the villain Yoo Ji-tae in Park Chan-wook's movie ‘Old Boy.’ He has taken on supporting and minor roles, including one in ‘Architecture 101,’ where he played a character interfering in the love story between Lee Je-hoon and Suzy.
The actor voiced his frustration, saying, "It is true that I played a villain who bullies Song Joong-ki and Park Bo-young in ‘A Werewolf Boy’. But in ‘Architecture 101’, the worst thing my character does is take Suzy home. He’s not even a villain, but people say he’s bad just for taking Suzy home."
Yoo Yeon-seok explained that he filmed the scene where his character takes Suzy home. However, the perception changed when a scene was added where Lee Je-hoon watches them and cries. According to the actor, this addition portrayed his character in a negative light, making him appear as the "bad guy."
Yoo Yeon-Seok emphasised that his character's actions were misunderstood, and he believes he was unfairly judged for a scene that altered the audience's perception. The actor's experience sheds light on the challenges actors face when their roles are misinterpreted, even when they believe their characters aren't necessarily villains.
