Looking for New Challenges, Gunawan LIDA Wants to Act in Soap Operas

Kapanlagi.com - After becoming the runner-up of Liga Dangdut Indonesia (LIDA) 2020, there are many things that Gunawan LIDA wants to do, one of which is to delve into the world of acting. Besides singing, Gunawan wants to hone his acting skills.

Until now, Gunawan has not received any offers to act in soap operas or films. Currently, he is still busy with singing jobs and being a guest star on talk shows. However, if there are offers to act in films or soap operas, Gunawan admitted that he wants to try entering the acting world.

"So Gunawan hasn't acted in soap operas yet. Insya Allah (God willing), Gunawan also doesn't know when, but Insya Allah (God willing), Gunawan wants to dive into that world and really explore beyond Gunawan's comfort zone," said Gunawan when contacted by KapanLagi.com on Thursday (15/10/2020).

1. Want to Find New Challenges

Gunawan wants to find new challenges outside of music. According to him, this is the most appropriate target. Moreover, starring in a soap opera or film will have its own difficulties. That's why Gunawan wants to try diving into the acting world. 

"Gunawan thinks that starring in a soap opera also has its own difficulties. It's different from singing, when we sing, we also have to act. But the dialogue is done while singing, like that. Now, we have to have a dialogue and have a co-star, like that too. So, it has its own difficulties," he said.

2. The Right Choice Amidst the Pandemic

For Gunawan himself, starring in a soap opera is one of the right choices amidst his empty concert schedule due to the pandemic.

"Because now we are in a pandemic, so maybe by starring in a soap opera, we can fill the emptiness because there are no off-air events, no events that create crowds. So, Gunawan really wants to be able to star in a soap opera to fill that emptiness," said Gunawan.

Gunawan said that if there is an opportunity to act, he will try his best to give the best performance.

"God willing, Gunawan will delve into the acting world, whether it's fast or slow. The important thing is that Gunawan really wants to explore the acting world," said the singer from North Maluku.

3. Having Acting Experience

Although he has never tried acting in soap operas or films, Gunawan has some experience in acting.

"That is one of Gunawan's skills that has not been honed. Because Gunawan once had a practical Indonesian language exam and Gunawan had to act like that, and Gunawan thankfully got the best score. So I really want to develop it in this way, this Indosiar platform has provided a place for us to explore and expand further," Gunawan concluded.
