The actor, who plays a time-travelling hearing person in a family of deaf people with a passion for guitar, is in Hong Kong for a quick stop at our magazine\u2019s #legend100 party before making his way over to Macau for a stay at SJM Resorts to shoot our cover story. Geographical travel suits him after a stint of on-screen time travel, as he digs into the dim sum in front of him, commenting on the differences in Chinese food available in Hong Kong versus Seoul.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-3.50.39-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141344\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cream cardigan, grey jacket and oatmeal coat _ Zegna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s a welcome break for Ryeoun, who admits that he was so involved in the project \u2013 his second-ever lead role after playing Kang San in <em>The Secret Romantic Guesthouse <\/em>alongside Shin Ye-eun, Jung Gun-joo and Kang Hoon \u2013 that it became a part of his life. \u201cIt was an honour to work on this project with such wonderful staff, actors, director and writer. I enjoyed the filming process so much that I almost forgot it was work. It was a healing experience in many ways. Although I\u2019m sad it\u2019s over, there\u2019s also a sense of relief,\u201d he says with a laugh. \u201cI feel relieved because I put so much effort into this role that it feels like a satisfying conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-3.51.10-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141345\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">White knit top _ Fendi; Navy denim jacket and jeans _ Ferragamo; Black oxford shoes _ Dolce&amp;Gabbana.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The young actor received the offer to play Eun-gyeol in <em>Twinkling Watermelon <\/em>while filming<br \/><em>The Secret Romantic Guesthouse<\/em>. The role was an instant fit, according to Ryeoun. \u201cThe director said, \u2018Eun-gyeol is a character who needs to be trustworthy and I see those characteristics in Ryeoun,\u2019\u201d the actor recalls. \u201cIt was the first time I cried while reading a script \u2013 I was immersed from the first scene and felt a lot of empathy for Eun-gyeol. I thought I\u2019d be able to express the character well and told my company that I really wanted this role and asked them to see if they could make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"848\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-3.51.33-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141346\" style=\"width:679px;height:auto\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brown blazer and trousers _ Versace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt that the success of the show was in part due to the writer, Jin Soo-wan, whose work was already very familiar to Ryeoun when he was approached for the part of Eun-gyeol. \u201cIt was overwhelming to work on a project by the writer whose works I grew up watching,\u201d Ryeoun says.<br \/>\u201cIt was a big responsibility, and I felt a lot of pressure to make sure I would do it well.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-3.51.53-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141347\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cream cardigan, grey jacket, and oatmeal coat and trousers _ Zegna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Ryeoun\u2019s own hard work and dedication to his character indeed brought the project to life. \u201cThere<br \/>was a lot more to prepare for than just acting,\u201d Ryeoun explains. \u201cEun-gyeol is CODA (child of deaf adult) and a guitar prodigy. I had to learn sign language and guitar playing and master both. I prepared for my role by attending sign language and guitar school for almost three months. I\u2019d practise continuously, even when I\u2019d get home, during daily activities and even before going to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-3.52.29-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141348\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Navy shirt _ Sandro; Navy corduroy double-breasted blazer _ Ralph Lauren Purple Label.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>As of now, Ryeoun, who debuted just six years ago, remains entirely committed to his metier. Perhaps it\u2019s because fame and success came slowly, after years of hard work, slog and continuous auditioning rather than immediately and overnight. \u201cEverything I\u2019ve done so far feels like it has become part of me, like blood and flesh. All these elements have come together and created good synergy within me,\u201d he says. \u201cEvery role I\u2019ve taken on has been through intense auditioning, so all the projects are memorable. If I have to choose one that synchronises the most with me, I\u2019d probably choose Kim Nam-ho from <em>Adult Trainee<\/em>. He pretends he\u2019s not shy when he actually is. He seems to think a lot but is actually a pretty simple person once you get to know him. These aspects are quite similar to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-3.55.19-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141349\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brown blazer _ Versace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s because Ryeoun\u2019s commitment to his craft has been all-encompassing. Even the rote question of what was most memorable to him during the filming of <em>Twinkling Watermelon<\/em>, a question many if not most celebrities tend to brush off, yields a sincere and actually substantive answer. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a scene in the second episode where Eun-gyeol pours out his emotions to his father. It was a scene that gave me a great sense of accomplishment during the actual filming. It was touching to see a child possess such a sense of responsibility for his family such that he was willing to stand up to his father. I understood the father\u2019s feelings and that\u2019s why I welled up. I also understood Eun-gyeol\u2019s feelings and I was worried as to whether I\u2019d be able to express them convincingly,\u201d Ryeoun recalls. \u201cWhen emotions are intensified, my words can speed up and I was also worried about whether or not it would sync up with the sign language, so I remember this scene a little more.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"848\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-4.03.18-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141354\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brown blazer and trousers _ Versace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Lately, the actor claims that, with experience, he\u2019s been able to loosen up a little in front of the camera. \u201cI started enjoying acting more when I was able to let go of the pressure. I couldn\u2019t enjoy it much when I was a rookie because I was nervous,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-4.03.42-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141355\" style=\"width:679px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">White knit top _ Fendi; Navy denim jacket _ Ferragamo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Ryeoun caught the acting bug in high school when, on a walk with a childhood friend, he learned that the friend had started attending an after-school acting academy. Curious, Ryeoun asked his parents to let him do the same. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got their approval and attended this academy after expressing my interest and persuading my parents,\u201d he recalls, describing his parents as his <em>#legend <\/em>and crediting them for helping him become the person he is today. \u201cThat\u2019s when my dopamine levels skyrocketed. I feel in love with musical numbers, duet performances, stage plays set in small theatres. I was captivated by anything relating to acting. Between my second and third years of high school, I\u2019d commute to Seoul to attend this academy every weekend. It was so truly enjoyable for me; I thought I ought to make a career out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-4.03.59-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141356\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Navy shirt _ Sandro; Navy corduroy double-breasted blazer _ Ralph Lauren Purple Label.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>And a career he is building. Still bright-eyed and eager, Ryeoun has a resume that reflects the hunger he has for his vocation. Each year since 2017 he has logged roles in television and web series as well as variety television spots and music video appearances. In 2020 he was nominated for his first KBS Drama Award for Best New Actor and in 2022 he won the SBS Drama Award for Best New Actor for his work in <em>Through the Darkness<\/em>, for which he was also nominated in the category of Best Supporting Team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"706\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-4.04.19-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141357\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brown blazer _ Versace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Having tried his hand at coming-of-age stories, Ryeoun is looking to broaden his scope. \u201cI want to<br \/>try solo action movies like <em>John Wick <\/em>and <em>Deadpool<\/em>. I also want to do romance. I\u2019d like to take on projects around first love or play a na\u00efve young man character like in <em>The Classic<\/em>,\u201d he says. Lately, it seems Ryeoun\u2019s next project has him bulking up despite his favourite activity being walking \u2013 after all, it was a walk with a friend that led him to his calling. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I walk, all other thoughts disappear, and I focus only on walking. Aside from that, I\u2019ve resumed working out and I want to engage in other hobbies but it\u2019s not easy. I may be young but my body doesn\u2019t seem that way,\u201d he says, laughing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/hashtaglegend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-05-at-4.04.40-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141358\" style=\"width:678px;height:auto\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Black T-shirt, beige wool blouson and black denim jeans _ Karl Lagerfeld.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>So Hong Kong and Macau have been welcome respites before the actor plunges himself back into the labours required for yet another role.

Macau is so glamorous; everything is dazzling and it feels like a dream. Especially the Palazzo Versace Hotel, where I had the cover shoot \u2013 it was so cool and glamorous.
