Idol-turned-actor Rowoon raised eyebrows after revealing the "real" reason he left the K-pop boy group SF9.
Was his reason valid?
Rowoon Explains Leaving SF9 Was for Him to Be 'More Serious' in Acting
Actor and former idol Rowoon expressed his feelings after leaving the group SF9.
On October 30, a production presentation for the KBS's new Monday-Tuesday drama, "The Matchmaker," was held along with PD Hwang Seung Ki and the main cast, Rowoon and actress Cho Yi Hyun.
This will be Rowoon's first return in a sageuk (historical drama) following his 2021 hit KBS series, "The King's Affection."
- "He's not even the best actor in the group. "
- "I think he needs to think more about why fans were disappointed, rather than trying to make them understand."
- "If he had been more serious as an idol, there wouldn't have been so many people frustrated."
- "Even if it's not that case, it feels like he used his status as an idol as a 'stepping stone' to debut as an actor."
- "Have you ever wanted to be more serious in acting? But you were so negligent as an idol."
- "Isn't the team more important? You should have debuted as an actor from the beginning."
- "You're just throwing more salt at the wounded fans."
