[Lee Isul, Entertainment Reporter]

Actor Seonghoon urged attention to the film releasing amid the impact of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus infection).

On the morning of the 17th, Seonghoon spoke about the work at the press screening and distribution preview of the movie Are You in Love? (Director Kim Jeongkwon) held at Lotte Cinema World Tower in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul.

That day, Seonghoon said, "Thank you for coming despite the difficult times to get here, and thank you for wearing masks properly."

Regarding the release amid the spread of COVID-19, Seonghoon appealed, "The movie is not a serious or heavy film. It can be watched warmly."

Seonghoon said, "These days, the whole world is going through tough times, but no matter how hard it is, we have to breathe and live," adding, "If you wear gloves and masks thoroughly when you come to the theater, you might be able to avoid COVID-19 well."

He continued, "I think this is a movie that can give you light laughter without being heavy in these times."

About his role in the film, Seonghoon introduced, "I play Seungjae, a cafe owner who has a bad personality and abuses his power."

He added, "There are a few instances of power abuse that could be posted on community sites if done wrong, so I am cautious, but since the genre is romance, please look at it kindly."

Regarding the difference in tone between his appearance on the variety show I Live Alone and his character in the movie, Seonghoon said, "I am not a kind person. I only take care of my close acquaintances and consider others as strangers, so I am not very kind."

Seonghoon joked, "Seungjae’s traits in the movie are also in me. I am not that kind of a person. So it wasn’t particularly difficult to act."

Are You in Love? is a fantasy romance depicting the special love of two very different young men and women whose lives begin to change magically after encountering a mysterious book that reveals the answer to love. Seonghoon plays the prickly cafe master Seungjae, and Kim Soeun plays the cafe part-timer Sojeong. The film will be released on March 25.
