I'm sure that most of you haven't really heard of his name until his role in My Liberation Notes. Do not worry, because I am the same. When I started My Liberation Notes, his character there really stood out to me even though he's not talking much. Mr. Gu, despite depressed and alcoholic, has a charm that could attract any woman out there. This is already proven with his skyrocketing popularity across the whole Kdrama lovers around the globe. 

So that question in here is, who is the actor behind Mr. Gu in My Liberation Notes?

Without further ado, let's start this quick guide to Son Seok Ku. 

Personal Life And Career

Too bad he wasn't able to get the said award.
• In year 2019, he was reported to be the CEO of a 4.6M USD machine tool distribution company called GOMT co Ltd and was confirmed to be true by his agency SBD Entertainment.
• However, along with the confirmation, SBD Entertainment also clarified that Son Seok Ku's main profession and career focuses now in being an actor. And that he stepped down already with the management activities in his company.

Dating History

• During his first ever variety show appearance in My Little Old Boy on November 21, 2021, Son Seok Ku revealed his ideal type. He wants to date someone who is witty and humorous.

• In December 2021, Son Seok Ku was reported to be dating Lee Seol. (trivia: Lee Seol was referred by Son Seok Ku to make special appearance in the Netflix series D.P.) And again, similar to his case with Bae Doona, both of their agencies denied the dating rumor.

Comments

• Am so glad that I discovered this actor in My Liberation Notes. I actually have come across Son Seok Ku first in the drama Jirisan. I, in fact, got attracted to his 'clean looks' there. He was the first love that Jun Ji Hyun was waiting for a long time but they did not end up together. haha
• Anyways, it was My Liberation Notes that introduced him to me and the rest of the world. 
• He's so likeable and is very manly that I can't help but get swooned by him. 
• He's very attractive and I think his sharp eyes does the magic. 
• Gah! His character Mr. Gu in My Liberation Notes will forever remain unforgettable to me. 
• He really has impressive acting skills that even if he doesn't speak much dialogue, his eyes and body gestures could really relay the message clearly to the viewers on what he feels. 
• I will surely check his previous works and will certainly do the same thing with his future projects. I love him already.
