A Struggle to Find Leisure Activities
Choi Woo Shik appeared on the BDNS YouTube channel’s talk show hosted by Moon Sang Hoon on February 3, 2025. He discussed his difficulty in finding leisure activities. The actor, who has always enjoyed outdoor pursuits like fishing, cycling, swimming, and camping since his childhood, now finds himself unable to enjoy them. He confessed that his free time no longer includes these activities, and the pressure to force himself to engage in hobbies has become overwhelming. He described his current emotional state as “gray and empty.”
Finding Positives in a “Blank Slate”
Despite these struggles, Choi Woo Shik sees a silver lining in his current state. He believes that feeling like a “blank slate” during his downtime helps him fully immerse himself in his acting roles.
