“Business Proposal” Actor Ahn Hyo Seop Played A Crucial Role In Creating One Of The Most Romantic Scenes
Business Proposal was a K-Drama that took the world by storm as fans couldn’t get enough of the K-Drama’s adorable and steamy romances and entertaining humor.
Business Proposal followed Shin Ha Ri (played by Kim Se Jeong, also stylized as Kim Sejeong), who unknowingly agrees to a blind date with Kang Tae Moo (played by Ahn Hyo Seop), the CEO of the company she works at.
The K-Drama follows their love story, along with the love story between other characters like Shin Ha Ri and Kang Tae Moo’s best friends, Jin Young Seo (played by Seol In A) and Cha Sung Hoon (played by Kim Min Gue).
Fans loved everything about the drama, from the characters’ on-screen chemistry to the actors’ incredible off-screen friendships.
In a recent interview with The Swoon YouTube channel, actor Ahn Hyo Seop proved his incredible knowledge of the show, answering questions about the color of Shin Ha Ri’s slippers…
And how expensive their group dinner was.
One of the questions The Swoon also tested Ahn Hyo Seop on was what song his character, Kang Tae Moo, plays on the piano.
Ahn Hyo Seop was quick to share how easy the question was.
There’s only one scene where I play the piano. Of course, I remember that. [The answer is] “River Flows In You” by Yiruma.

He even remembered Kang Tae Moo’s outfit for the romantic scene where Kang Tae Moo plays the piano to impress Shin Ha Ri, pointing out that it was an all-white suit. Which greatly contrasted his earlier dark color scheme that changed as he grew closer to Shin Ha Ri.
When I first read about the character, I thought I should wear something dark in the beginning. And he gradually changes his color scheme after he starts dating Ha Ri. I tried to wear brighter colors as the story progressed. There’s a scene where Tae Moo plays the piano for Ha Ri at a restaurant after he confesses his love for her. In that scene, I’m dressed all in white. That’s the most memorable scene for me.

The staff then asked Ahn Hyo Seop if he actually was playing piano for that memorable and romantic scene, to which the actor responded that he did play the piano.
Yes, I did [play the piano]. I remember the song because it was the one I chose when the director asked me what song I could play on the piano.

And Ahn Hyo Seop actually has an impressive resume for instruments he learned how to play.
When I was a student, I played the violin in school orchestra. But I haven’t played for over ten years, so I don’t think I can say I can play it. I play the piano and the guitar a little.

Certainly, the piano scene is one of the more memorable scenes in the drama, and Ahn Hyo Seop’s song choice worked perfectly to make both Shin Ha Ri and fans swoon.
