“Even though I haven’t visited India yet, I have seen a lot of Indian content. I want to visit Mumbai and Varanasi because the places and the vibe fascinate me,” he says.Known not only for his acting, but also his singing, Si Wan reveals his interest in performing live in India and connecting with local artistes. When asked about an Indian actor who made a lasting impression on him, he says, “I really enjoyed watching 3 Idiots.

I like the actor (Aamir Khan) and I have seen many of his films.”Si Wan, who joined the Netflix series in its second season, hopes audiences will respond positively to his character, Lee Myung-gi in the third season. Myung-gi was known as a cryptocurrency influencer, but his misguided financial advice resulted in heavy losses for both himself and his followers. “I hope people won’t hate Myung-gi too much. A lot of stories come to an end this season,” he says.
