Actor Ahn Jae-hyun (OSEN)

Actor Ahn Jae-hyun confessed that he thought about giving up acting after the SBS drama “My Love from the Star.”

During an interview with a local news outlet Monday, Ahn spoke about his acting career and hardships he had to overcome.

“Originally, I did not have any intention of becoming an actor. However, the directors of ‘My Love from the Star’ offered me the part and I began to learn about acting from scratch -- from camera movements to broadcasting system,” he was quoted as saying.

“It was so hard that I thought this was going to be first and last drama. I considered the job unsuitable for me. I had to stay tense for a long time,” he added.

“However, after participating in ‘You’re all Surrounded,’ I had changed my mind. During the drama’s wrap party with other actors, we all clapped while watching the last episode together. I was deeply touched and understood the reason why people keep acting. It makes me tense but it’s also fun,” he said.

Ahn Jae-hyun’s movie “Fashion King” is to be released in theaters Thursday.
