On April 29, news outlet Ilgan Sports released Choi Woo Shik's recent interview. During the interview, Choi Woo Shik mentioned what has changed following the film Parasite's major global success.
Choi Woo Shik said, "I used to send my audition clips to Hollywood production companies in the past, but a lot of them actually have been calling me these days."
He continued, "I think they've seen me doing interviews in English. It seems like some Hollywood producers like me. I've received several scripts from them." The actor went on, "I'm still in talks to join a Hollywood film. It's probably going to be decided this year. With going into Hollywood, I believe it's all about the timing."
