A recent survey conducted among 47,000 Korean respondents revealed Seo In Guk as the "Master of Kissing" among other Korean actors. In fact, more than 23 percent voted for the "Love Rain" star, surpassing "Hwarang" actor Park Hyung Sik.

When asked about the title, Seo In Guk frankly admitted it is a "little embarrassing" to be called as the "Master of Kissing." However, the Korean actor refused to deny that he feels good about the nickname.

"It's a good thing if you're told you kiss well right? But no lie, a good kiss-scene isn't solely based on the male actor," Seon In Guk said as per Koreaboo.

The 29-year-old actor went on, "I think people just think that because male actors usually initiate the kiss, but it's the story that leads up to the kiss scene that's most important."

He added the story plays a vital role in making kiss scenes successful. Seo In Guk made his acting breakthrough with "Reply 1997," where he played his first lead role. The singer-actor paved his way into the big screen with "No Breathing" in 2013.

Seo In Guk was recently seen in "Shopping King Louie," which aired its final episode last November. When asked about his previous acting projects, the actor confessed he felt disappointed when they ended with low ratings.

"I'm a person too, so I have been disappointed in the past by projects that haven't done well," he said as noted by Soompi. "However, I forget all about that when I think about the other people who work on these dramas."

The actor said he does not want to be a burden to his co-actors and staff just because of his disappointment in the show's ratings. Hence, Seo In Guk would rather work hard to finish a project, rather than feel spiteful.
