OK Taec-yeon, a South Korean star known to Indian K-drama fans for programmes such as Vincenzo, says he enjoys a lot of Indian content and often fantasises about appearing in an Indian film or show. The musician-actor may currently be seen in the Prime Video fantasy drama HeartBeat, in which he plays a half-human and half-vampire forced to share a home with a cold-hearted individual.
Taec-yeon told in a virtual interview from Seoul that he would do his best to "reciprocate that love" in response to the great interest in Korean programmes in India. During the show's promotion, OK Taec-yeon replied to the growing popularity of Korean shows in India by telling the news agency PTI that he would love to visit India soon
"I enjoy a lot of Indian films and content and it's quite loved in Korea too. Sometimes, while watching some of the Indian content, I would think to myself, 'What would it be (like) if I were to appear in one of those’?"
"Not just the content, I know there is so much more that India has to offer...," added the actor who spent his growing years in the US and later came back to South Korea. "Korean dramas, now we call them K-dramas, have been around for a long time and people have enjoyed them. But obviously, it is quite a recent development that it is being loved so widely all across the world. I think it is all thanks to the many streaming services as well as the efforts they spend in many subs and dubs and, of course, thanks to the global audiences who watch and enjoy our content," he also said. OK Taec-yeon was also joined by his co-star Ji An during the conversation.
Taecyeon is one of the most popular actors in the Korean entertainment industry. He started his journey as a rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and also an entrepreneur now. He is a part of the K-pop group 2PM.
He made his acting debut with the K-drama Cinderella's Sister and starred in several hits such as Dream High (2011), Who Are You?
