Actor Ahn Seok-hwan as Choi Jang-mul in OCN weekend drama’Amazing Rumors’
Counters’ longest summons, even cider lines
“But why don’t you give me a red dress?”
OCN weekend drama’Wonderful Rumors’ was a work that was loved for the action of defeating the evil spirits with a cool pleasure utilizing the charm of the original webtoon. The performances of youth stars Cho Byeong-gyu and Kim Se-jeong, as well as Yoo Jun-sang and Yeom Hye-ran, who showed an age-forgotten action, also became a hot topic each time, but viewers were enthusiastic about the performance of Ahn Seok-hwan, who took the role of Jang-Mul Choi, the chairman of a sports car in luxury suit.

‘Wonderful Rumors’ is the first work since OCN’s founding, surpassing the 10% rating and making the decision to produce season 2 early. Counters who disguised themselves as noodle restaurants and defeated the evil spirits on the ground were loved for their growth and evil spirit breakout stories.
The longest acting Ahn Seok-Hwan is’Bukkae’, a wealthy man in Korea’s 50s, but in reality, he is the oldest man of Counters and the’water master’, and he is in charge of Counters’ accident handling. Whenever they appeared, they presented solutions like cider and showed off their onion-like charm. I don’t hate the feeling of flirting at Chu Mae-ok (Yom Hye-ran).
Ahn Seok-hwan said, “Honestly, I didn’t know it would work out so well,” he said. “There was no drama that hit a jackpot beyond the age of 60, but the director’s performance was good, and good juniors worked hard.” At the same time, he said, “I’m glad I can act more personally in the future.”
Ahn Seok-hwan was born in 1959. I majored in business administration and debuted a little later than others, but it was in 1987. Asked Ahn Seok-hwan, “Have you ever seen the original webtoon of’Wonderful Rumors’?”, Ahn Seok-hwan said, “I’m not a big generation after watching cartoons since I was a kid. I don’t see the original work well. Season 2 is made but I don’t see it.” “Plan” expressed the view.
In the original, the story of Choi Jang-mul’s youthful days appears. Like other counters, past stories are revealed. In Season 2, the longest character can be expected to expand. However, Ahn Seok-hwan said, “I want Choi Jang-mul to have the ability to read memories like Hana (Kim Se-jeong) or the ability to see the future in 30 minutes.”
“I’m very good at action. (laughs) I did the action until my 50s. (Yu) Jun-sang is not good for me. Oh, Jun-sang and I are close. I (Yu Jun-sang and Hong Eun-hee) have a relationship before marriage. I saw everything.”
Before Counters launched a full-fledged action, he did not hide his greed for the red sportswear, which is the’work clothes’. “I’m so sad that I didn’t give it to me,” he said, “I complained about why I don’t have my clothes. So, I guess the longest suits the same suit in the last ending of’wonderful rumors’.”
“The’wonderful rumors’ success, the site was good.”

Ahn Seok-Hwan was also called “Hyung” by the youngest member of Counters, Cho Byeong-gyu at the scene of’Amazing Rumors’. The title of “Teacher” is not awkward as it boasts 35 years of acting experience, but I approached my juniors first to “don’t call me a teacher.”
All of the cast members of’Amazing Rumors’ said, “It was a very, very good scene.” All of the juniors agreed and said, “Senior Ahn Seok-hwan was at the center,” but he said, “Yoo Jun-sang was good, everyone was good at acting, and the director also created an atmosphere so that the actors could comfortably come up with ideas, and absorbed all that. “He showed a humble appearance.
It was a glimpse of the fact that the’wonderful rumors’ were able to reach the phenomenal end until the end, thanks to the sticky scene.
“‘Wonderful Rumors’ started filming in August last year and was filmed for 5 months. We filmed for a long time for 16 dramas, but we also had to work on CG, and we were fierce. It wasn’t until the article was published that I learned that the author did that. Everyone was busy analyzing and acting characters.”
220 appearances in 35 years

Ahn Seok-hwan played the role of Kishin, the father-in-law of’Mip-sang’ full of pretentiousness and lack of ability in MBC’s daily drama’My Brilliant Life’ at the time when’Amazing Rumors’ was aired. MBC’s’Professional Men and Women’, tvN’Nine Room’, and’Hundred Days’, showed off human images full of greed. However, it is hard to find a vicious appearance in the’wonderful rumors’.
Ahn Seok-hwan said, “Acting is also in fashion,” and “I learn a lot while watching the acting of my juniors, and I try to do it.” Also, “If you try to act only comfortable and familiar, you become conservative,” and “Acting is also an art activity, but who will pay for the same thing as others?”
Thanks to his ceaseless activities, Ahn Seok-Hwan has appeared in 220 works over the past 35 years. There are also works such as’Waiting for Godo’, which has performed 700 times on the stage for many years, but it is a huge number.
It is not simply because they appear randomly when an appearance proposal comes. Among the filmography of Ahn Seok-hwan, there are films such as’MB’s Memories’ and ’26 Years’. Ahn Seok-hwan said, “If it is a work that contains current and historical content, I would like to participate,” he said. “The film is subjective, so there is no choice but to include it subjectively, but it shows that there are people who think this way, and it is not the conscience as an artistic actor to record it.” . He laughed, saying, “To make money, you have to do business.”
“I want to act for a long time, so I act.”

Ahn Seok-hwan said, “Exercise is the basis of an actor.” Running an average of about 10km a day every day, and maintaining an appropriate weight at all times is to maintain a healthy body and act for a long time.
The way to part with a character who played with affection was also exercise. After exercising until you stop breathing, when you can’t do anything, you can throw away the thoughts you’ve filled up. Ahn Seok-hwan said, “In Buddhism,’I don’t know as much as I know’,” he said. “I try to empty as much as I can because I can refill as much as I empty.”
“When I play, I walk from a house in Mapo to Daehak-ro or Myeong-dong,” said Ahn Seok-hwan, who said, “One of the things I think I did best in my life was choosing an actor.” Expressed. “I do it because I like it, but I also make money with it, so it’s a gold prize.”
Such a goal of Ahn Seok-Hwan in 2021 is to do “Waiting for Godo” once more with season 2 of “Amazing Rumor”. “Waiting for Godo,” which is a work that consumes a lot of physical strength as you have to do tap dance wearing a big walker, “I want to do it for the last time,” and “I want to continue acting in various genres.”
