You Raise Me Up is a sexy comedy that tells the story of Yong Shik, a jobless man with erectile dysfunction, reuniting with his first love Luda as his urologist. With her help, he learns how to stand up tall as the hero of his own life. DidnŌĆÖt he feel pressured by the subject of erectile dysfunction? The actor answered, ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt hesitate at all. A patient with erectile dysfunction getting better with the doctor who is his first love. ItŌĆÖs such a clear and witty topic. Many of the viewers approved it as a fun topic rather than being appalled by it. IŌĆÖm glad about that.ŌĆØ Viewers did not spare support for the character Yong Shik, who has low self-esteem. ŌĆ£I thought I was a person with low self-esteem. But studying, seeing, and observing many people with low self-esteem, I realized that I had high self-esteem thanks to all the love I received. It took a lot to kill the energy that Yoon Si Yoon had. I had to show Yong Shik by not expressing and holding everything in.ŌĆØ Yoon also expressed pride in Yong ShikŌĆÖs growth. ŌĆ£He grows up every step of the way. It was a lot of fun. Just like how Yong Shik slowly found pride in himself, I felt how IŌĆÖve gotten sturdier and happier.ŌĆØ Did Yoon ever hit rock bottom as Yong Shik did? ŌĆ£Actually, IŌĆÖm still overcoming it. Even before the public recognized me as an actor, I was equated with the numberŌĆÖ 50%.ŌĆÖ A rookie actor took the lead in the drama (Bread, Love and Dreams) and surpassed viewer ratings of 50%. Because of that, the question ŌĆśwhatŌĆÖll be the ratings this time?ŌĆÖ always followed me around. If the results were disappointing, it would hurt me, and IŌĆÖd be stuck in a slump.ŌĆØ The actor didnŌĆÖt forget to mention Hani, his co-star. ŌĆ£Whenever I turned on the TV during my military service, it was to see female idols, most of the time. And the most popular group at the time was EXID. Without exaggerating, I saw her like 200 to 300 times. SheŌĆÖs like the star for me, so it was nice to be able to work with her.ŌĆØ Regarding playing romance with Hani, he commented, ŌĆ£Romance is not about how I act, but about focusing on the other personŌĆÖs emotions, eyes, and language and reacting to what I feel from that. And thatŌĆÖs not easy. I have enough on my plate with what I have to do. But Hani made me feel comfortable and took such good care of me like a friend, a sister, and a lover.ŌĆØ ItŌĆÖs been more than ten years since Yoon debuted as an actor. ŌĆ£When I was a rookie, I thought, ŌĆśWhat should I do more?ŌĆÖ But now, I rehearse with actors more and focus more on the acting. I realized that this is very important ŌĆō for better performance, there needs to be union and solidarity.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Source (1)
