'Start-Up' second lead Kim Seon Ho looks dreamy in this magazine photoshoot

"Start-Up" may have ended over a month ago, but people aren't over it yet — specifically, difficult to move on from is Kim Seon Ho, who portrayed Han Ji Pyeong in the hit Netflix K-drama series.

Luckily, Elle Korea had a photo shoot and interview with Seon Ho and it's making #TeamJiPyeong fans gush even more!

On Instagram, Elle Korea posted photos of Seon Ho from his shoot, where he looked incredibly dapper and dreamy!

Soompi reported on Seon Ho's revelations about his character as Han Ji Pyeong in his interview with Elle, where he said he was able to relate to his character, through his "human-like natures."

"Whenever my character saw Choi Won Deok, I acted while remembering my own grandmother. She was really good to me but I was always bratty with her. I was quite immature. I really liked her so I wanted to act cutely around her but it wasn’t easy to act on my feelings," he shared in an interview with Elle.

Seon Ho also admitted to being worried after gaining popularity. 

"I’m worried that from now on, when I review productions, the first thought to pop up in my mind will be, ‘Will this be successful?’ I was scared that I might start thinking things like, ‘Will the ratings be good?’ or ‘Will this production do well?'” he said in the interview.

But he made up his mind to "take on the productions that had scenes I wanted to. If someone comes to me first, I’ll take on that production.”

Soompi traced Seon Ho's debut in the entertainment industry to his time in theater. The report said, despite Seon Ho not making much money in plays, Seon Ho recalled how he doesn't mind about the money while he worked.

"I was 28 at the time, you can imagine how frustrated my mother was,” he said.

“People in this profession often think things like, ‘Acting makes me happy, but the people around me are suffering because of me.’ I became well-known thanks to Han Ji Pyeong from ‘Start-Up,’" he added.

Seon Ho said he "was so happy to have a role where someone hears my name and instantly thinks of that role.”

The Korean actor grew popular after starring in the recent hit Netflix K-Drama about youth, business, and dreams titled "Start-Up" where he played second lead starring with Nam Joo-hyuk and Bae Suzy. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
