Now, talking about Park Seo Joon getting into Min Seong’s shape, the actor had gone through quite a bit of physical transformation. In an interview with The Korea Times, Seo Joon shared that he had lost 7kgs (almost 15 lbs) for the role, but it had come with a dangerous side effect.
Even though Concrete Utopia is set in winter, following earthquakes, the film was shot during the summer. Sharing about the same, Park Seo Joon revealed, “We had to pretend it was winter in the middle of summer.” And wearing heavy clothes amidst the heat of the summer took a toll on the actor. He said, “There were times when I felt dizzy because I lost about seven kilograms for the part. I had to explore certain emotions that I have never experienced before.”

While losing weight gave him a more defined physique and washboard abs, it became quite dangerous and challenging for the actor to shoot. Thank God Seo Joon avoided any major accidents from heat strokes or injuries from fainting.
