During a press interview for the Netflix series Notes from the Last Row held at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, on July 2, Choi Hyun-wook shared his affection for the Weak Hero Class 1 series and spoke warmly of his colleague, Park Ji-hoon.
Regarding the production of a third season of Weak Hero Class 1, which many fans are eagerly awaiting, Choi Hyun-wook expressed his thoughts cautiously, saying, "If the environment and conditions allow, I would love to do it. However, it is not just up to me; various circumstances need to align, and the schedules of the director and other actors must also match, so I am careful about what I say for now."
Choi Hyun-wook also revealed that he and Park Ji-hoon remain close, noting, "I still keep in touch with Park Ji-hoon from time to time. Although we don't see each other often because he is so busy these days."
In particular, Choi Hyun-wook added, "Actually, I was the first person to say that his gaze was really great, even back during Weak Hero Class 1. Whenever someone else praises his eyes later on, I jokingly take credit by saying, 'I was the first one to notice that look,'" creating a heartwarming atmosphere.
Choi Hyun-wook continued to express his admiration for Park Ji-hoon’s successful career, from the film The King's Warden to the Tving drama The Legend of Kitchen Soldier. "Watching The King's Warden, I felt something different. I found myself thinking, 'That guy has that kind of look in his eyes, too,'" he said. "His eyes are a real gem. His gaze is so deep and truly wonderful," he added, giving a thumbs-up to his colleague and friend.
Meanwhile, Notes from the Last Row, starring Choi Hyun-wook, is a suspense drama about Heo Moon-oh (Choi Minsik), a failed writer and literature professor who discovers the genius of a student sitting in the last row of his class, Lee Kang (Choi Hyun-wook), and becomes obsessed with his writing. In the series, Choi Hyun-wook plays Lee Kang, a college student who appears to be an innocent student with exceptional writing talent but gradually creates cracks in Professor Heo Moon-oh's life, driving the tension of the story.
Based on the play of the same name by Spanish playwright Juan Mayorga, the six-episode drama Notes from the Last Row was released worldwide on Netflix on June 26.
