[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Child actor Jeon Jin-seo from 'The World of the Married' revealed the difficulties he feels as an actor.

On the 10th, Jeon Jin-seo, who gained recognition through the drama 'The World of the Married,' appeared on the tvN variety show 'You Quiz on the Block.'

That day, Jeon Jin-seo showed a very nervous appearance during his first variety show appearance. When Jeon Jin-seo was shy and unable to introduce himself, MC Yoo Jae-suk explained the situation before the recording, saying, "He was spacing out and wandering around." In response, Jeon Jin-seo said, "I was a bit nervous. It’s my first time on a variety show."

Regarding his feelings about the end of 'The World of the Married,' Jeon Jin-seo said, "I feel both regretful and relieved. I also want to film more," and added, "I got Han So-hee’s autograph for my friends and heard them say they respect her," which brought laughter.

Jeon Jin-seo shared that he learned a lot from Kim Hee-ae and Park Hae-joon. He said, "They are great actors, but they supported and taught me on set. However, I don’t contact them separately," and added, "I thought it would be rude, so I didn’t ask for their contact information. I’m not at that level."

Jeon Jin-seo, who became known through 'The World of the Married,' revealed that he is a 9-year veteran actor this year. He has played the young Lee Min-ho in 'The Legend of the Blue Sea' and the young Lee Byung-hun in 'Mr. Sunshine.'

Jeon Jin-seo opened up about the difficulties of working as an actor at a young age. He said, "It’s not easy. The things I can do are greatly limited. That was painful," and added, "I want to hang out with my friends, but I can’t go around freely, and no matter what I do, I hear people say, ‘How can an actor behave like this?’" indirectly referring to the controversy over profanity.

He continued, "I thought I was wrong and accepted it, but the moment I entered the makeup room to prepare, I burst into tears," and said, "Sometimes I felt like life itself was acting because I was hiding my true feelings."

He concluded by asking, "I hope people remember me not as a bad and rough kid like Jun-young, but as a kind child."
