In line with his chameleon-like appearance, which has both softness and coolness, he alternately digested chic and casual looks to decorate the pictorial nicely. He said, "It was a magazine that I really want to be in someday. I was happy when I was offered an interview", he said.

On March 5th, he played Ji Dong-hee in "Crash Course in Romance" which ended with a high viewer rating of 17 percent, and cited his first argument with Choi Chi-yeol (Jung Kyung-ho) and the last scene of making an extreme choice as one of the most impressive scenes while filming the work. He said, "I talked a lot and played jokes with Jung Kyung-ho on the set, but the atmosphere was especially serious that day. I was so upset after the shoot", he recalled.

On the other hand, regarding "Taxi Driver 2", which is currently airing, he said, "I'm careful not to talk about it because it's still airing", but added, "On Ha-joon is a person with two sides. It will be more interesting to watch the drama while looking at what stories are hidden in the characters", he hinted.

Regarding the high-level action acting, "I was confident in using my body because I played ice hockey when I was a student, but at first, my action was very clumsy. "The martial arts director was worried", he said honestly.

In his 20s, Shin Jae-ha pushed himself because of his obsession with prolific works, but after serving in the military, he changed his mind a little bit as he reached his 30s. He said, "I had a strong feeling that I had to accomplish something before I joined the army. But when I think about it, that's not what I'm after. I think it's more natural and enjoyable because I'm not in a hurry to deal with acting", he said.

Detailed interviews and pictorial images of Shin Jae-ha can be found in the April 2023 issue of Esquire and on the website.
