The drummer turned actor, Noh Min Woo, reflected on his acting career through a recent interview with Mnet's 'Wide News'.
At the start of the interview, Noh Min Woo revealed, "Because I have been constantly moving around, I've been losing a lot of weight, but I think since I am busy doing something I want to do, I feel very good."
He then continued by introducing his character in the new drama, SBS's 'Midas'. He explained that his rich playboy role of Yoo Myung Joon required kissing scenes, bed scenes, and lines such as, "It's not like I'm asking to get married, I'm just trying to have some fun. What's wrong with that?".
His preparation for the 'Midas' role differed significantly from the preparation he did for his role on MBC's 'Pasta' (2010). For his role of Phillip in 'Pasta', he and the other chefs worked at the original pasta restaurant for one month, and went from washing dishes to mastering five entrees prior to filming.
As for his minuscule role in the movie 'Frozen Flower' (2008), he rigorously trained in sword-fighting, archery, and horseback riding for two months. Many asked why a musician like him chose to do such a hard work, but he explained that he wanted to feel/see Joo Jin Mo and Jo In Sung's presence on the set in person.
His more recent work in SBS's 'My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox' raised his recognition in the industry, as he went on to receive a 'New Star Award' at the 2010 SBS Drama Awards. He expressed his satisfaction regarding his rock performance at the awards ceremony, and explained how his mother was the first person to introduce him to rock when he was 12-years-old.
He also addressed the many shocked reactions he received from people who only recently found out about his blonde-haired rocker TRAX days. He said, "Some people say that it's scary, but it's just another 'me' that's inside of me. I like it."
Lastly, he discussed his latest mini music drama, KBS's 'Rock Rock Rock', where he was able to show off his guitar skills as he played the role of Boohwal's guitarist, Kim Tae Won.
He ended the interview by stating his goals for the future, saying,
"There is so much to do. I'm becoming more greedy regarding acting, and I'm working harder. I want to show viewers a more focused actor. I also want to reach people through the music I've been preparing."
