Yoo Seon-ho conveyed his impressions of playing a Japanese yokai in the movie 'Teaching Practice.' Yesterday (29th), Yoo Seon-ho revealed his thoughts about the upcoming release at a press conference held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Yongsan District, Seoul. He played the role of a 'Japanese yokai' and said, 'My character is unique and special, so I felt that if not in this work, when else would I be able to perform such a role?' All of his lines were in Japanese, and he mentioned, 'Actually, I couldn't speak any Japanese and it was my first time encountering it.' He added, 'I learned Japanese until sunrise in the morning and took classes. On days without classes, I exchanged voice messages with my teacher. I even dreamed of speaking Japanese a couple of times.' The movie 'Teaching Practice,' set to be released in South Korea on May 13, is a horror-comedy about passionate education interns, led by Eun-kyung (Han So-na, former Secret's So-na), who confronts the 'ghost' of college entrance exams and takes a mock death exam alongside girls from a black magic club.
