Chang-wook rose to fame to a lot of popular dramas such as Welcome to Samdal-ri, The Healer, The K2, Backstreet Rookie, and Lovestruck in the City. He said, "To actually be recognized and to be loved by our fans abroad, that fact itself is already amazing, and surprising to me."

He was asked what keep him grounded, and beloved in the industry. "

He also explained how the success of K-dramas around the world isn't just a compelling storytelling. "So if you would actually ask me the secret to the success of the K-drama, I think it's a very broad question for me. For me personally, I think it's not really just scoping in the K-drama, but if the drama itself is good, it could be loved anywhere in the world. And I personally think that K-dramas are being loved because Korean culture itself is being loved by people around the world. And for me, I just exert my very best to the point that it will not harm the Korean culture."
