In the interview, Choi Woo-Shik also talked about his physical appearance in the new thriller series A Killer Paradox. He expressed his thoughts about his face gaining weight. Woo-Shik stated, “My face is the type to gain first. I was worried. As I gain weight and build muscle, my face keeps gaining weight….I think I focused more on my face because it didn’t seem right. I thought it would be better to lose weight on my face, so I didn’t try to gain weight.”
Choi Woo-Shik also discussed the look of his eyebrows. He said, “There was a lot of talk about the eyebrows. After changing the eyebrows, they were half and half, but there were some people who wanted one side to change a little and go for something more gore, and there were also people who said they liked that their image had changed a lot.”
The actor further spoke about his shaved head. He continued, “In the original work, I shaved my head half-shaven and got a tan on purpose. However, when filming back and forth, I tried half-shaven and then back and forth again, but it didn’t work, so I thought about what it would be like to have eyebrows and not have them….I decided to dye my hair. When I was looking at photos and thinking about what would make a complete difference, I heard somewhere that just covering a person’s nose can change their impression.”
Choi Woo-Shik’s A Killer Paradox chronicles the complicated and thrilling story of an ordinary young man named Lee Tang. He ends up in a never-ending cat-and-mouse chase with a detective named Jang Nan-Gam (Son Suk-Ku), after accidentally committing his first murder.
