India, Nov. 15 -- South Korean actor-singer Yook Sung-jae enjoys the love and recognition that his work has brought him, but as per his life mantra, he is not chasing anything. Set to be seen in the upcoming office romance Nine to Six, where he plays the bright-eyed intern Han Seon-woo, who gives up his dream of jewellery design to join a corporation, Sung-jae believes the film shows the importance of pursuing one's dreams and finding fulfillment in one's work. Interestingly, it aligns with his own life philosophy. "All the characters are not just trying to climb up the ladder and earn money, but rather have a sense of responsibility and love for their jobs. Everything else naturally follows. I have a mantra in life: if you chase your dream, wealth and reputation will naturally follow," he says. In the show which will stream on Prime Video, Sung-jae develops a relationship with his workaholic deputy manager, played by Park Min-young. But in real life, he is still trying to figure things out. "For some people, finding the one they love and having kids might be the truest form of happiness. Other people might be so in love with their jobs that they just want to keep doing it for the rest of their lives," he shares. Sung-jae, 31, who debuted as a vocalist in the K-pop band BToB (Born to Beat) in 2012, transitioned from the stage to the screen. His breakout performance came with Who Are You: School 2015 in 2015, and he followed it with The Golden Spoon (2022) and The Haunted Palace (2025). While he is happy that his dedication to his work has led him to this point in life, Sung-jae insists that others may have different priorities. "Everybody has different perspectives and values in life, and they choose different paths. The important thing is to embrace the differences, respect and understand each other, and live in harmony." he ends....
