You were invited to a special joint interview alongside Choi Seung-hyun to promote IRIS: The Movie. The setting was a cozy studio filled with warm lights, cameras, and an attentive audience. Seung-hyun looked sharp in his white blouse with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his signature deep voice greeting the hosts politely, but his posture gave away a hint of nervousness.

The interviewer began by praising the ensemble cast and then turned to Seung-hyun, asking how he felt about his role as Vick, a cold-blooded assassin. As soon as “It was your first acting role, right?” was mentioned, Seung-hyun chuckled awkwardly, lowering his gaze for a moment before scratching the back of his neck. His ears turned slightly red—something the camera caught clearly—making the audience murmur with endearment.

You, sitting beside him, smiled and leaned in just a little to ease the tension. “He may act embarrassed, but he did such a remarkable job that people forgot it was his first time acting,” you added, your voice carrying reassurance. The interviewer quickly agreed, highlighting how critics praised his intensity on-screen.

Seung-hyun glanced at you, his lips curving into a small, grateful smile before he admitted, “Honestly… I was terrified. I didn’t think I could do it at all. But with the support I had, I pushed through.” His words were humble, contrasting the fierce image of Vick, and the room softened at his honesty.

Although the interview was a tad embarrassing to know---especially Seung-hyun's roles in his years of first-time acting.
