Park Seo-joon eyes b'wood debut: would love to play a diplomat to India
India, Nov. 7 -- As Park Seo-joon readies for the release of his upcoming romantic comedy Surely Tomorrow, the South Korean star has his sights set beyond Seoul. The actor, beloved by K-drama fans worldwide, says he's open to exploring Indian cinema next, and even has a role in mind. "I always find it really fun to work with an overseas production. If the opportunity allows, I would love to play a character who's a diplomat to India from Korea, and maybe living in India. I think that would be fun," he tells us.

If you're a man, I'm sure many of you can relate to him, because a lot of his story is something that most men experience at least once in their lives. I had fun portraying the emotional aspects of this character."
Whether it's romance, comedy, or drama, Park Seo-joon has tackled them all with ease. Yet he admits there's no fixed formula to his craft, and acting, he says, remains his truest source of freedom. "I feel the most free when I am acting. In real life, I think I tend to be more cautious, and I'm more reserved and suppress a lot," he explains.
But as one of South Korea's most popular stars, how does he navigate the pressure of a global fanbase while staying true to his instincts? "Well, I've never thought of myself as someone who is globally recognised. I am very grateful for all the interest, love, and support - both for the work I do and for me as a person. But it can get scary. So the mindset I try to keep is, 'let's just do what I've always done.' I tell myself, 'let's try to make the right choices,' and that's the approach I carry when I'm choosing characters and stories," he ends....
