Jae Wook's character Jun is a free-spirited soul who works at a variety of part-time jobs. Although he's aloof and tends to maintain his distance, there's a special charm to him that draws other people closer to him. He lives without any hopes or dreams until his life is profoundly changed when he meets the energetic pianist Gu Ra Ra.
The actor talked about his character's duality when it comes to appearing rough but actually paying attention to detail. He said, "He's charming because he has contrasting charms. He's someone I was curious about after hearing about the drama. The more we film, I feel that he's a tender-hearted character. He doesn't express his feelings, so it makes people curious."
Jae Wook also talked about his honest thoughts on the drama, saying, "I'm nervous and I feel a lot of pressure. I wish to express Jun's diverse charming sides convincingly and well. I have continuously portrayed a lot of different characters in the past, and I will do my best to leave a lasting impression on viewers this time as well."
Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol premieres on August 26, exclusively on Netflix.
