On July 5th, Shinhwa’s Eric attended the press conference for his new drama, ”Spy Myung Wol“, at Seoul’s 63 Convention Center, where he shared his honest feelings about his new sitcom.

Speaking about his late comeback, the star said,

“The drama ‘Poseidon‘ was filmed with permission from the National Maritime Police however, due to the Yeonpyeong Island incident and the turbulent weather, the drama was suspended. I did wish to make my comeback soon, but the gap that was created wasn’t too bad.

‘Posiedon’ had bigger pressure as a work than ‘Spy Myung Wol’. The mindset itself was different from ‘Spy Myung Wol’. At that time, since I have done comedic and cool roles, I wanted to be respected by playing an emotional role. But thankfully, due to this work, I was able to come this far. If there is one thing that’s a shame is that I want to do both ‘Poseidon’ and ‘Spy Myung Wol’, but they are being broadcast one after the other so I won’t be able to do one of them.“

Eric then talked about his acting saying,

“In the past, I wanted to receive respect and become an unrivaled being through my acting. Now, I think it’s success if I do what I can to the fullest and have good results. As music has turned into general music, I think acting is turning into general acting.“

‘Spy Myung Wol’ revolves around the meeting of a North Korean spy Myung Wol (Han Ye Seul) and a South Korean Hallyu star Kang Woo (Eric). The show will broadcast its first episode on July 11th.
