I’m excited and happy to take on a new challenge. I talked a lot with the local agency. Although it will not be easy to take on a new challenge in an unfamiliar environment, I think it is a good opportunity to learn a lot. I will work hard to show another side of me as well as new charms of Ok Taecyeon on a broader stage.
