Seoul — Goblin actor Gong Yoo does not understand why people harm and fight each other. He said so in an online interview on April 13 for the upcoming sci-fi film Seobok. The actor plays a character who unapologetically displays his desire and fear in the movie, according to Allkpop.
When asked about his own desires, Goblin actor Gong Yoo replied, “I don’t really understand why people harm and fight each other so much. I try to put myself in another person’s shoes whenever I’m in such situations. But there are cases where I still can’t understand the other person (which could be entirely due to my lack of understanding, so I’m a little cautious). My personal desire is not to be the same person when I meet that type of person.”

So I believe a human being is the ‘scariest’ being. I’m afraid of getting hurt by people. And acting for the camera is always unnerving.”
‘Seobok’ hits theatres on April 15.
