During his interview and photoshoot for the said magazine, Kim Woo Bin talked about his past and current goal as an actor. When he was asked about his dreams growing up, the actor said that he had always dreamt of becoming a strong adult since he was young. He wanted to be a powerful man too, with a manly figure who is good at what he does. However, now that he's grown, he wants to become a good person instead.
Then the actor shared that "loving himself" is something that he would never get tired of doing. He knows that loving oneself is not easy, that's why he always reminds his self about it. He explained that for quite some time, he wasn't able to take good care of himself since he was always busy looking out for others. In the process, he became especially harsh and unkind to himself. He then smiled and said, "Right now, I'm more focused on loving and understanding who I am."
