[SBS Star] EXO SUHO Shows How Hard He Works to Become a 'Rich Man'

K-pop boy group EXO's leader SUHO showed how much effort he has made for his new drama 'Rich Man'.

MBN's drama 'Rich Man' is based on a popular Japanese romance drama 'Rich Man, Poor Woman' that was aired in 2012.

The Korean adaptation will be portraying the romance between a genius CEO Lee Yoo-chan (SUHO), and a job seeker with an outstanding memory Kim Bo-ra (Ha Yeon Soo).

In the drama, SUHO is not only good-looking, but he also is nicknamed as 'Steve Jobs' of Korea for his smart and innovative ideas. SUHO commented, "I heard that my character was made based on Steve Jobs, so I watched the movie about him. I also watched the original version of the drama three times already."

He continued, "In order to express the coldhearted genius character of Lee Yoo-chan well, I carefully studied how Robert Downey Jr. acts his Iron Man character as well." Then, SUHO talked about the similarity between him and his character.

SUHO said, "Yoo-chan seems cold, but there is a cute side to him. He fools around a lot and sometimes even look immature. I also like fooling around. I especially enjoy when we film that sort of scenes."

He added, "I generally take some time thinking before saying anything, but Yoo-chan is pretty much straightforward."

'Rich Man' is scheduled to air its first episode on May 9. (Lee Narin, Credit= MBN Rich Man)
