Recently, OBSŌĆÖs Unique Entertainment News (literal translation) introduced the story of actor Park Seo Joon. Park Seo Joon actually faced a tough time even after he was discharged from the military. When he auditioned, people pointed out his face that he ŌĆ£didnŌĆÖt have a face for an actorŌĆØ or ŌĆ£was old-fashionedŌĆØ and also criticized his ŌĆ£child-likeŌĆØ way of talking. With the constant failures, Park Seo Joon even thought of undergoing plastic surgery, but decided to put more effort to show his charm that slowly and quietly captivates people. Then, when he was working as a bit-part actor in a short film, his friend Kim Soo Hyun introduced him to KeyEast, and Park Seo Joon signed a contract with the company after a short meeting without an audition, finally taking a step further as an actor. In 2011, He finally made his official debut by starring in Bang Yong GukŌĆÖs ŌĆ£I RememberŌĆØ music video and took on the role of Shi Woo in Dream High 2 in 2012. Then in 2013, he met drama I Summon You, Gold! that gave him a turning point in his acting career. One day, he got a call from the company that there will be an audition for the drama later that day, and ran to the studio. There, he performed one of his most confident audition repertoires, Architecture 101ŌĆśs Nab Deuk Yi scene, and came through a competition of 100 to 1 to get the role of Park Hyun Tae. Since then, he starred in various dramas, including WitchŌĆÖs Romance, Kill Me, Heal Me, She Was Pretty, WhatŌĆÖs Wrong with Secretary Kim, and Itaewon Class, solidifying his position as the next Hallyu star.
