Alden Richards, a multimedia star in Asia, explained why he selected for the supporting part of Good Boy rather than the male lead in Start-Up PH.

Alden Richards will perform a number of appearances in the United States in September, in the meanwhile. He will travel to the US to perform his ForwARd benefit event, which will support more students attending school.

This has been Alden’s charitable project for several years, and he hoped to use his AR Foundation to assist more individuals.

The Kapuso actor was recently questioned regarding his choice to go with Good Boy in an interview that was based on the PEP piece. He said that the reason for this is that the supporting role is very different from the one he portrayed in his previous work.

“Yung character ni Nam Do San (male lead) but Davidson siya rito sa Start-Up Philippines has the same character journey as my character noong past soap ko, e,” Alden Richards shared.

Alden portrays the character of Good Boy, or Kim Seon Ho in the original South Korean series, who finds love with the female lead, portrayed by Bea Alonzo, in the Pinoy adaptation of the show.

He added that the team had chosen to assign him the particular role. The Kapuso actor noted that while his role in The World Between Us was effective, he shares many traits with Jeric Gonzales’ upcoming role as the male lead in Start-Up PH.

“Pero yung journey niya kasi, kumbaga kung yung role ni Nam Do San yung kukunin ko, parang same lang. Similar. Very similar,” Alden stated.

He also provided viewers with the assurance that although the plot is similar to the K-drama features would be included. The actor stated, “May twist siya and yung palaman niya is very Filipino,” adding that the public would undoubtedly notice this when the show premiered.
