Prepare for turbulence as Ha Jung Woo and Yeo Jin Goo find themselves locked in a high-altitude battle aboard an airplane in the gripping film “Hijacking.”

Set against the backdrop of 1971, this heart-pounding drama unfolds as a commercial airliner hurtles toward danger over South Korea.

Ha Jung Woo, portraying the resolute co-pilot, fights to shield the passengers from impending peril. Meanwhile, Yeo Jin Goo, in his debut villainous role, masterminds a chilling hijacking plot, steering the aircraft toward North Korea. The stakes are sky-high, and the tension is palpable.

Recently, the film’s press conference took flight at CGV Yongsan I’Park in Seoul. Director Kim Sung Han and a star-studded ensemble, including Sung Dong Il and Chae Soo Bin, gathered to discuss this cinematic thriller. Based on a true event, “Hijacking” marks Kim’s directorial debut—a passion project fueled by a haunting tale he encountered during his tenure as an assistant director.

Ha Jung Woo revealed the grueling demands of his role, navigating the treacherous skies both physically and emotionally. For Yeo Jin Goo, embodying a multifaceted antagonist was an exhilarating challenge. His portrayal avoids clichés, delving into the raw psyche of the hijacker without romanticizing the darkness.

The ensemble cast, comprising approximately 60 actors, amplifies the film’s authenticity. Sung Dong Il, a seasoned performer, praised the camaraderie that blossomed amidst the claustrophobic confines of the set. Director Kim’s meticulous attention to period accuracy, including recreating a discontinued airplane model, elevates the film’s realism.

“Hijacking” is poised for liftoff on June 21, promising a gripping exploration of a pivotal moment in Korean aviation history. Buckle up, fasten your seatbelts, and prepare for an adrenaline-fueled journey where every decision counts.

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.
