Actor Song Joong-ki revealed that he faced rejections in overseas auditions.

During a recent interview, when asked about his criteria for selecting projects, Song Joong-ki stated, "I personally try not to do what I've done before. I have this strange obsession. If I don't enjoy it myself, it shows. I'm not trying to act humble; it's just that I really can't fake it, and my performance suffers."

Song Joong-ki's ambition to explore different cultures and avoid becoming bored with his acting career has led him to audition for projects in various countries. He mentioned, "After completing the 'Hopeless' release schedule, I plan to go abroad to audition for a few projects. I've always been rejected, so I hope to succeed this time. My desire to act in different cultural contexts and diverse stories is growing."

When asked about his goals as an actor, Song Joong-ki expressed, "I want to broaden my horizons. I've climbed up the mountain with gratitude, and I want to become an even bigger mountain. That's why I'm taking on various challenges. I'll try to be an actor who makes people look forward to my work."

"Hopeless" tells the story of a boy who wants to escape a harsh reality and ends up joining a dangerous world after meeting a mid-level boss in an organization.
