Sang Heon Lee Makes Acting Debut In Netflix's XO, Kitty

Okay, you look amazing.

You too. Look at yourself. You look amazing. We're not really matching. No, anyways.

How are you feeling on the carpet tonight?

Feels uh, I feel hot. I feel really hot, yeah. But other than that, um, I feel better. Yeah.

When is the last time you saw everybody at the same time?

When we all arrived in LA, we all saw each other at least once. Um, but everyone here like this. I think the last Korea. The last time was Korea.

In real life, what is the craziest length you'd go for love?

Okay, I would say uh, distance don't matter in a way. Like if if you want me there, I'll be there.

That's so cute. We love that. In the show, obviously goes through a lot of different types of love. So what's your ideal type of love? Are you casual, or you super romantic?

A little bit of both, I would say. No, yeah. I mean, if you're just all romantic, right? You got a feeling that I'm going to say it, you know, nice guys finished last in a way. I I was always that nice guy but I always finished last in some way. Uh, so a little bit of both. You know, a little bit of both.

Are you like your character in any way in real life?

Yeah, you know what? He has some good aspects. Um, he's really loyal to his friends. Uh, he can be romantic when he needs to be. And he's very confident, and I love his confidence. Yeah.

Did you know Anna or any of the other cast members before the show?

I knew Anna from the film series, but not Anthony or Min Ho, you know. I only knew Gia because she's my sister. Um, yeah, that's pretty much it.

Do you have a favorite scene that you did film?

Favorite scene, favorite scene. Um, I would say So, there's a scene that uh, Jeff, he was the director. He we did like this one-take scene, and it was me, it was Min Ho, Q, Dae and Kitty. We were in this uh, we were in the living room/kitchen and we were just doing that one take and that was like such a uh, technical uh, day that we had but it was really fun, yeah.

And it's giving kind of K-drama. A lot of the comments are about that. What do you think about that? It was like a Korean production and a US production. It was a collaboration, right? So because of that, I would say people love a little bit of both and hopefully they will appreciate the collaboration, yeah.

And there's kind of that enemies to lovers tagline. What do you feel about that?

I think it's a classic. I think it's exciting. Um, not going to lie. If it's a friends to lovers, that's simply slow sometimes. You might lose a friend, and I think a lot of people agree with that as well. But if you're an enemy, and then you see that person differently, you're like, "Oh, wait a minute. Like, this person is quite attractive." Like, yeah, something's giving off, like, butterflies going off and everything. I think that's cute. I think that's more exciting.

And how do you think the world will digest your character? Like, what do you think they'll they'll think of him?

Hopefully, they'll love me. In a way, um, a lot of people can learn from these characters that we played, and through me, I would say again, confidence and um, you know, sometimes you've got to be more selfish towards yourself. You know, you could be your you can be a best friend, right? But that best friend or that partner that you have, they might not be the same energy as you. So yeah, sometimes be selfish towards yourself.

And are you team B or team Dae?

Well, I'm team Min Ho. I am Min Ho. But yeah, yeah, I'll say I'm team Min Ho.

Okay, perfect. Thank you so much. Congratulations on everything.

Thank you so much.
