DEX Expresses He Isn't Afraid of Criticism, Talks About His Acting Debut

Star YouTuber DEX shared his thoughts on debuting as an actor with Tarot. 

Recently, a press conference for the upcoming mystery-horror miniseries Tarot was held in Yongsan, Seoul. Director Ashbun, along with actors Cho Yeo Jung, Go Gyu Pil, and DEX, attended. 

Tarot follows individuals trapped in the curse of mysterious tarot cards. Before being released as a series, three episodes of Tarot will be presented as a movie to the audience. 

During the press conference, regarding using his real name, Kim Jin Young, for his acting career, Dex explained, "I didn't have any huge concerns. I thought it was only natural. I believe variety shows and acting are different fields." He added, "I decided to use my real name with a new mindset, passion, and conviction. I think I need to work harder to make that name known. The biggest reason was to clearly distinguish between variety shows and acting."

Previously, Dex mentioned he was curious about "how much criticism I might receive." He explained, "I don't think I'm afraid of critiques. Since I work in front of many people, I'm not scared of harsh criticism but rather welcome it because it can help me improve and show a better version of myself."

He continued, "I will humbly accept negative feedback, and if you can praise me for just one thing I've done well, it will give me the confidence to show an even better version of myself."

Tarot will premiere on June 14.
