Co-stars of tvN’s upcoming weekend drama ‘The Midnight Romance in Hagwon’, Jung Ryeo Won and Wi Ha Joon, have posed for a captivating pictorial with ‘Elle’ magazine.

In their interview with the magazine, both co-stars opened up about their preparation process for their roles in ‘Midnight Romance’.

Jung Ryeo Won, who portrays the role of celebrity tutor Seo Hye Jin, shared, “Initially, I was unfamiliar with the various terms for college entrance exams and preparation, and was pretty much clueless about South Korea’s education system. I listened to numerous YouTube lectures and sought advice from real-life tutors. People can instantly tell if I’m not using certain terms naturally, so I also secretly attended tutoring classes and listened to recordings daily.”

Wi Ha Joon, who will be undergoing a dramatic transformation after his performance in the Disney+ series 'The Worst of Evil', revealed, "To immerse myself in my character, I began listening to romantic music and watching romance genres. What's surprising is that the more I become immersed in the character of Jun Ho, the more people tell me that my eyes look kinder these days. I am even dressing differently, and my friends asked me the other day if something was going on."

Meanwhile, tvN's 'The Midnight Romance in Hagwon' airs every Saturdays and Sundays at 9:20 PM KST.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
