"Na Young-suk and I are beyond actor and producer; we're like brothers. I don't say it enough, but I'm grateful and we know each other well enough to understand each other without words".

"I was seemingly bad-tempered, maybe cool, but not so favorable, but Na Young-suk changed that. He made me look friendly. He knows me well. I didn't think we'd come this far, but here we are. He's one of the closest people to me".

"I met him first in "1 Night 2 Days". We didn't keep in touch after that until I decided to star in "Grandpa Over Flowers". The meeting didn't come until very last minute after which I was literally just 'taken' on vacation. He started calling me 'hyung' then so I thought he was just rude, but we became close after traveling for some time. He's warm-hearted and very considerate. I like him a lot now".

About the successful TV show "Yoon's Restaurant 3", he said, "We haven't discussed it further, but a promise is a promise. Seasons 1 and 2 were great, but I still think the pressure is there for season 3; even more on Na Young-suk's side".

"I try to do what's fun and not pay attention to whether if it's a TV show or a drama. I do my best with what I'm given and I don't regret on what I've already done. I don't forget about TV when I'm acting and I don't forget about acting when I'm on TV. I want to enjoy as much as possible".

Lee Seo-jin is starring in the movie "Intimate Strangers" with Yoo Hae-jin, Cho Jin-woong, Yum Jung-ah, and Kim Ji-soo. The movie comes out on the 31st of October.
