The idol posed under the theme of a celebrity's lifestyle, then answered questions about his tvN drama 'Hwayugi' in his interview portion. He said, "The role of a celebrity is actually harder. I'm not normally that type of celebrity." 

He continued, "I've had several celebrity roles in the past, but they were all distinctly different. In this drama, I go from one side to the other, but not in a hateful way." What is Hongki's dream as a musician? He simply answered, "It's always the same. A rockstar. My dream is to be free, and that's how I want to live. I'll sing until I die." 

You can catch Hongki acting the role of Zhu Bajie, or P.K, in 'Hwayugi' beginning December 23 at 9PM KST.
