Lee Shin Young previously gathered attention for his role as a North Korean soldier in “Crash Landing on You.” Regarding his new role in “How To Buy a Friend,” Lee Shin Young said, “Park Chan Hong is clumsy and naive. His biggest charm is the fact that he has a lot of consideration for others. He’s a kind character who tries to be sympathetic [towards others] even though he doesn’t understand [them].”The actor also talked about his efforts to act like an “average” boy. He explained, “Since the standard of ‘ordinary’ is different from person to person, I am constantly studying my character and thinking about [how to portray him].”
He added, “Unlike the original webtoon, Park Chan Hong uses a dialect from Gyeongsang Province. I’m from the same area, so it’s not awkward to use a dialect, but I’m trying to speak more like the students in Gyeongsang Province to seem more natural. In the webtoon, Park Chan Hong tries to hide his feelings, but instead of following the original work, I’m trying to express more realistic emotions.”
