In the accompanying interview, Lee Sung-min reflects, "I ponder whether an actor is truly a creator. Acting doesn't have copyright, does it? An actor is like a performer," adding, "Even with the same sheet music, it changes depending on who plays it. The role of an actor is to interpret, express, and bring out their fundamental charm."

He continues, "I've never felt that acting is fun, but I've always had a thirst. The longing to fill my shortcomings is what keeps me acting," revealing his ongoing contemplation and attitude towards acting.
