Ahn Jae Hyun Reveals He Turned Down Yeo Jin Goo's Role in Movie "Hwayi: A Monster Boy"

[Newsie]

Model turned actor Ahn Jae Hyun revealed that he received casting offers for the 2013 movie "Hwayi: A Monster Boy" starring Yeo Jin Goo. 

Ahn Jae Hyun said: "My dream was to become a well-known model, and I didn't really think that I had to act, however I still got a lot of offers to do it. Among the offers I received is for the movie Yeo Jin Goo starred in, 'Hwayi: A Monster Boy'. I have no experience in acting at that time and so I had to politely decline. This time with the movie 'Fashion King', there's a different representative who recommended me and so it's a film that I have decided to do."

When asked about what he thinks about people who says he cannot act, he explained: "I wanted to get my name out there as a model. I wanted to show model Ahn Jae Hyun can act, but this doesn't mean that I tried acting out of haste. It's my third year in the modeling business, but it's not something I have perceived I would be doing since I started. I want to show an image of myself that have already achieved my model dreams to take it another step and try another challenge, which is acting. I still have a lot to learn about acting, from diction to breathing and even vocalization. I think that if I learn the basics, I can try to master acting in the near future."
