Actor Lee Dong Wook shared the uncanny experience he had while playing a psychopathic serial killer.

Lee Dong Wook appeared as a guest on tvN's entertainment program 'You Quiz on the Block', which was broadcast on December 22nd. On that episode, when Lee Dong Wook took on the role of a villain for the first time in 23 years of acting, he said, “I acted while always reminding myself that this is all an act that should never actually happen”. He added, "I tried not to get caught up in the emotions of the characters".

Lee Dong Wook's first villain was Seo Moon Jo in the webtoon-based drama 'Strangers from Hell'. Lee Dong Wook, who plays Seo Moon Jo, a dentist and psychopathic serial killer, showed a completely different side of him from his romantic image of his previous work.

Regarding this, Lee Dong Wook said, “I thought I was doing fine even when playing the villain, but my friends told me that my eyes have changed. In fact, one day, I looked into the mirror after washing my face, and I was unfamiliar with myself. So I thought to pull myself together”. Sharing that he had felt a different feeling that time.

At the same time, Lee Dong Wook also confessed to a moment when uncanny thoughts passed by because he was so immersed in the role of Seo Moon Jo. "In the play, there was a scene in which a person's raw teeth were pulled out and tortured. The intensity of the pain is not shown on the screen, but I was contemplating 'How can I pull the teeth so it’s more painful?' he shared. “At that moment, I thought, ‘What is this?’ I thought once again that I have to be more careful when playing roles like this.”

On that episode the actor also talked about hitting rock bottom after starring in Goblin. “I realized that nothing could be resolved if I just stayed still and did nothing. So I decided to just go at it head-on and played Seo Moon Jo in Strangers from Hell. Acting the way I felt on the set and going with that raw vibe, I became more comfortable in acting,” he commented.

Meanwhile, Lee Dong Wook is currently starring in tvN’s drama Bad and Crazy and is waiting for the release of his new movie A Year-End Medley.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
