Go Kyung Pyo Discusses His Mental Health and Public Image

In a heartfelt interview with Esquire Korea, actor Go Kyung Pyo delved into his personal battles with mental health, the complexities of maintaining his public image, and his newfound experiences in the world of variety shows. From managing the pressures of fitness and self-care to navigating his authentic self and public persona, Go Kyung Pyo opens up about the challenges and rewards of his journey both on and off the screen.

Go Kyung Pyo opens up on his current state

Actor Go Kyung Pyo recently opened up in an interview with Esquire Korea about his overall well-being. Reflecting on his efforts to stay fit, he shared, “I used to manage [my weight] better. I could gain or lose as I intended. However, lately, there are areas where I struggle to achieve my goals, which has left me feeling slightly stressed.”

When asked about the source of these challenges, he acknowledged that it’s partly due to less effective exercise routines. He also mentioned, “I find it harder to put actions into practice these days than I did in the past. I still know in my head that exercise and meal plans are important, but I often weigh the opportunity cost. Life is short, and I increasingly feel drawn to immediate enjoyment.”

Regarding burnout, Go Kyung Pyo admitted, “I’m definitely feeling burnt out. Lately, I’ve been trying new things like YouTube and variety shows, expending a lot of energy that I don’t usually use.” Despite his current happiness and enjoyment, he also confessed to feeling exhausted from these new activities.

Navigating his true self and public persona

The actor also discussed his struggle to balance his true self with his public image. Known for his enthusiastic reaction to Zico’s “Any Song” during an awards show, he remarked, “There’s an image of me that reflects that vibe, but it’s actually a bit different from how I see myself. People really like that side of me, so I feel like I have to adapt and fit into it. However, sometimes I can’t help but feel a sense of emptiness.”

He elaborated on how he feels most free when alone and how spontaneous moments of excitement often lead to public scrutiny. “When I get excited, I enjoy the moment without caring about others’ opinions. Then, when I notice others looking at me, I feel very small,” he explained.

Discussing his involvement in “The Backpacker Chef 2,” Go Kyung Pyo shared, “The show demands more variety show energy than I initially anticipated. However, filming it feels like a healing time for me. During filming, I’m fully focused, and it’s straightforward work detached from other concerns.”

He expressed his appreciation for the program’s format, which doesn’t focus on putting him in the spotlight. “I haven’t participated much in variety shows until now because I didn’t want people to have a fixed perception of me,” he said. “Now, as an actor, I aspire to be recognized for my roles in good productions and as a character.”

Go Kyung Pyo’s full interview is available in the June issue of Esquire Korea.

NCT’s Jaemin Graces the Cover of Esquire Korea

The February 2024 issue of Esquire Korea will feature Jaemin of the K-pop group NCT DREAM. Widely recognized as the visual of the group, Jaemin is known for his impeccable fashion sense. He has a long history of gracing the covers of fashion magazines, and his upcoming appearance on the cover of Esquire Korea is the latest one. This issue, available starting February 2, 2024, has an exclusive interview and photoshoot with the artist.

For the shoot, Jaemin donned looks from the Fendi Men’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the collection draws inspiration from the people behind the label. This includes business professionals, designers, and factory workers, reflecting Fendi’s rich heritage in leather craftsmanship and its innovative approach to fashion.

The pieces he wore featured a mix of cotton and leather with apron-like designs and patch pockets. Accessories from the collection, including an updated version of Fendi’s Baguette bag, completed his ensembles. This Esquire Korea feature didn’t just highlight the unique elements of the Fendi Men’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection.

Jaemin shared his secret

Aside from the interview and photoshoot, Jaemin filmed two videos for Esquire Korea—a fashion film and an interview. During the interview, he talked about his winter routine, what he usually buys in the US, and more. Fans have recently noticed his more muscular physique, a development that was particularly highlighted when he posted a “shirtless selfie” on the artist-to-fan communication app, DearU Bubble. Jaemin revealed that his secret to maintaining this physique is to stock up on protein shakes and powders whenever he’s in the US. 

“In America, there are many varieties of protein powders and they are tasty,” he said.

Jaemin also shared his secret to spotting fancams when he’s onstage. He explained that he memorizes the positions of the main cameras during rehearsals. When not in the direct view of these cameras, he takes the opportunity to find fancams in the audience. This strategic approach allows him to switch between gazing into the main camera during his parts and the fancams when he isn’t in focus. This ability to engage with fans even while performing is proof of why some call him the “king of fan service.”

Meanwhile, NCT DREAM is gearing up for an exciting 2024, with a new album and a world tour on the horizon. Stay tuned for updates on their upcoming projects! – K-Pop News Writer
