The pictorial for the interview was themed around a staycation with a senior co-worker, a concept Shin Ha Kyun humorously found challenging, saying, “How horrible that sounds. Going on a staycation with a senior co-worker? I can’t understand that because I never use the same room, not even with my manager.”

Reflecting on his co-star, Shin Ha Kyun praised Lee Jung Ha’s character and work ethic. “Jung Ha is kind, genuine, and works really hard. Since we met as fellow actors, we are in equal positions. We have our own roles. I share my thoughts when he asks them, but ultimately, acting is something you learn independently rather than being taught by someone else. I just guide him,” he explained.

Lee Jung Ha, who won Best New Actor at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, expressed his gratitude for the opportunities he has had since then. “I realized that I am shyer than I thought. I didn’t know this before because I hadn’t had many opportunities to stand in front of large groups. I’m trying to be more confident. I also want to change my disorganized speech. My ambitions are growing,” he shared.

He also admired Shin Ha Kyun’s sense of humor and professionalism, noting how he lightens the mood during long shoots. “He makes us laugh to lighten the mood when the shoots get long. Even then, he does it as that character, which is cool.” Lee Jung Ha added that Shin Ha Kyun is a great mentor who is always available to provide guidance. “No matter what opinions I offer, Shin Ha Kyun always suggests ways to approach it.”

“The Auditors,” featuring Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Jung Ha, will premiere on July 6 at 9:20 p.m. KST and be available on Viki.
