bnt released Shim Hyung-tak's photo shoot on Tuesday. From a soft mood to a playful concept, Shim Hyung-tak dominated the atmosphere in the drama by showing off her smooth packaging and relaxed vibe as a model-turned-actor. In the interview that followed the shooting, he said, "Silly, Shim Hyung-tak", reflecting his personality and charm, adding that he was loved by viewers thanks to an entertainment show special that he was able to appear in with unchanging innocence.

When asked about his recent situation, Shim Hyung-tak, said, "As many of you know, I am enjoying my honeymoon. Since it is a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, I try to spend it more and more valuable. On my day off, I am living in abundance while playing table tennis, taking a walk, and shopping with my wife".

When asked if the OCN drama "Times", which aired in 2021, he has a lot of concerns about if its his last acting and whether he was worried about his next movie, he said, "You can't film a movie or a drama by yourself. I need someone to find me and I have to do something that fits my character. I'm very concerned about making a role. I'm thinking a lot about my next move with the company and the directors".

When asked about the part that he pays most attention to when acting, "When I appeared on the OCN drama "Times", a lot of people said, "Shim Hyung-tak? Doraemon? A villain?"" Before becoming known through an entertainment show as Doraemon, and Minions, he played many roles as an actor. "It's a shame that I'm buried in entertainment shows, but the first thing I do when acting is to familiarize myself with the lines and characteristics of the character. With these two things, I can get out of the image 'silly Shim Hyung-tak'. At first, I often saw comments like 'Doraemon is coming out', but by the end of the work, I see comments that it was unexpected and that they didn't know that was me. I feel great pleasure then", he said, expressing his conviction about acting.

About his most impressive movies, he said "Animation is "Jujutsu Kaisen 2". Its production is so amazing. I don't know what many people think of animation and cartoons, but I think it's just like a movie. If you watch an animation with such great directing power, you can enrich your imagination of how it will be made if it becomes a movie, and I think many characters in the animation character can bring out acting. I also enjoyed watching Disney+'s "Moving". In a way, it's the Korean Avengers. I want to become a character in a drama with such great performance.

In August 2023, he had the most memorable episode of his honeymoon with Japanese Saya Hirai. "I had a very high fever and I was sick, but Saya didn't leave me. She changed the cold towel next to me, just like a scene in a drama. It was my first time. I don't think that happened when I was young either. My wife was taking care of me next to me and I thought to myself, 'Wow, is this family?'" he said with a smile.

When he asked what kind of person he is, he said, "I feel like I won't be able to fulfill everything in life before I die. I think I'm a person who is very empty. If you think about it in a different way, there are many good things to fill up. I could fill my head or fill myself with more love".

As for his New Year's plan for 2024, he said, "I want to meet a character who can be recognized for his wonderful work and acting skills that are suitable for his age after his 20s and 30s, and I can't wait to have a baby who looks like Saya within this year".

Lastly, about how actor Shim Hyung-tak wants to be remembered to the public, he replied, "It's Doraemon who gave me a sense of existence and people remember me by that character's name if they can't think of my name. But I want to act so that Doraemon is the first thing when people think of me. I hope viewers and audiences can immerse themselves in my roles".
