When asked how he spends his time during the pandemic, the actor shared that apart from his recent filming stint in London, back home in Korea, he spends his days with family or his dog Simba who is now five years old.

Park joked that counting dog years, he and the adorable bichon frise are just about the same age and that they especially enjoy doing nothing together; in fact, the actor revealed that he’s not too interested in training Simba, fearing the dog may end up too stressed.

While the actor takes a relaxed approach as a pet owner, he’s quite the opposite with work. Being in the industry for almost 10 years now, Park mentioned he's never dreamed of pursuing another career.

Audiences worldwide have seen the Korean star rise to fame with hit titles like Itaewon Class, Fight For My Way, She Was Pretty, Midnight Runners, and more.

Though known for his strength in delivering heart-wrenching lines, Park has certainly had his fair share of high octane action scenes. ‘What’s the secret to being an action star?’, he was asked. To which he quickly responded that it’s really all about memorising choreography. “It helps that I like to exercise,” Park said. “And, if you add in good editing, it works out pretty well for me.”

Among the characters he’s played, he related that he was most opposite from Lee Young-jun (WWWSK), a vain megalomaniac Chairman. While Lee is forward, confident, and enjoys being the centre of attention, Park mentioned he's rather shy.

Although it was daunting, the challenge of bringing that character to life made the process enjoyable as he got to try new things and push himself. Yet, the actor had to admit that he wasn't too keen on watching playbacks or reels from the hit show.
