Introverted Actor Uhm Tae-goo Makes Surprising Confession: 'I Talk More Now... I Want to Try Rock Music'

Uhm Tae-goo, an actor often described as "extremely introverted," has surprised many by admitting he's become more talkative and is now eager to pursue a career in rock music. This revelation comes after his participation in the recently released comedy film 'Wild Thing.'

In an interview following the film's release, Uhm shared that he found it challenging to maintain high energy levels for his comedic role in 'Wild Thing.' He admitted to feeling shy at times during filming but emphasized his effort to embody the characters he plays. "There are times when my efforts work well, and times when they don't. I'm continuously working on it," he stated humbly.

I've become much brighter. I talk more than before, I really talk a lot these days.

The actor noted a significant change in his demeanor, with colleagues observing that he has become "much brighter" and speaks considerably more than before. While acknowledging his introverted tendencies, Uhm mentioned that he has always been more outgoing with close friends. He attributed his initial nervousness during his appearance on the variety show 'House on Wheels' to a period of isolation before the program. "I'm comfortable now because I've been on variety shows more often," he joked, showcasing a newfound ease.

I actually always liked joking around internally.

Uhm explained that this shift wasn't a conscious decision but rather a gradual adaptation. He found himself engaging more with staff on set during the drama 'The Woman Who Plays With Me' and his current film, 'Wild Thing,' realizing that his quietness could affect the atmosphere. "I actually always liked joking around internally," he confessed with a smile.

Despite the demanding nature of his roles, including an upcoming noir project for Disney+, Uhm expressed his passion for acting, stating, "It's difficult, but it's fun." He then revealed a surprising ambition: to try his hand at rock music. "I've never really said I wanted to do a specific genre or my next project," Uhm said. "But after doing this film and rapping, I've developed a strong desire to try rock music."
