Actor Ahn Bo Hyun, who gained worldwide popularity with his appearance in the JTBC drama Itaewon Class, nearly lost 18 Pounds to synchronize with the character in a mini-series. After winning the hearts of millions of K-drama fans with the portrayal of Goo Woong in tvN drama Yumi's Cells, he turned heads with his makeover in tvN mini-series See You in My 19th Life.
The fantasy romance drama is based on a popular webtoon of the same name. It featured Bo Hyun as a young businessman with a traumatic past. He looked different from his previous characters in the mini-series, and the viewers praised him. During an interview, the actor opened up about his transformation for See You in My 19th Life and said he wanted to show a new side of himself.
Bo Hyun worked hard on his new appearance and nearly lost 18 pounds to build a strong image of the character. He changed his hairstyle and tried to change other physical traits. The actor worked on the features and emotions of the character in the drama while preparing for it.
"Because it is a project that was an original webtoon, I prioritized becoming synchronized to my character. I tried to understand the character of Mun Seo Ha, such as his special traits and emotions. Further, because the character has a strong image, I wanted to show [viewers] a new side to myself and lost around 8kg. I also changed my hairstyle and attempted to change other physical traits," Bo Hyun shared.
