Zo In-sung Reflects on the Fate of an Actor: "Excitement and Anxiety Always Coexist, Everything Starts from Zero"

Actor Zo In-sung has shared his deep reflections on his attitude toward his recent work as an actor.

Zo In-sung graced the cover of the July issue of fashion magazine Arena Homme Plus. In this cover photoshoot, collaborated with a watch brand, Zo In-sung unfolded a mysterious narrative across various backdrops. Standing in front of the camera, he captured fleeting moments of tension in diverse cuts, creating scenes that leave viewers curious about what comes next.

In the interview accompanying the photoshoot, Zo In-sung shared his recent thoughts as an actor.

He shared his philosophy, saying, "Creating something new requires courage. Unless there is some degree of pain—whether physical or mental—you end up wearing the same old clothes again. New clothes are uncomfortable. However, that discomfort also means you can show a new side of yourself. The longer an actor has been active, the harder it becomes to find a new image. That's why I believe that kind of courage is absolutely necessary."

He also candidly opened up about the nervous feelings he still faces every single time, despite his long acting career.

Zo In-sung added, "Even if yesterday's shoot went well, today is a new shoot, and even if I messed up yesterday, today is a fresh start. That's why excitement and anxiety always coexist. I think it's the same whether you're a rookie or a veteran. If I were to shoot 50 films of 'Hope', it might feel less new. But every project is the first and the last. Every time I read a new script, I get excited and nervous all over again. In the end, everything starts from zero."
Meanwhile, the movie 'Hope', starring Zo In-sung, is scheduled to be released on July 15.
