He said, " I should have done that last year, but now I think it's time."

During the talk, the actor also sincerely talked about the not-so-successful days that preceded his impressive career as a talented actor.

Ji Seung Hyun said that the actor's breakthrough took place in 2015 when he became so poor and had no work that he and his wife decided to open a snack shop, and literally no projects were coming to him. 

Interestingly enough, thanks to his role in the drama "Descendants of the Sun", Ji's career as an actor took off brilliantly.
