• Jo Jung Suk Praises Lee Joo Myung: “I’ve Been Watching Her Since ‘Hospital Playlist’”

    Actor Jo Jung Suk recently shared his admiration for Lee Joo Myung, whom he’s been observing since their time on “Hospital Playlist.”

    The movie “Pilot,” directed by Kim Han-gyeol and produced by Shortcake and Movie Rock, held its production preview on the morning of the 26th at Lotte Cinema in Konkuk University, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Han-gyeol and actors Jo Jung Suk, Lee Joo Myung, Han Sun-hwa, and Shin Seung-ho were in attendance.

    While Jo Jung Suk made waves with his dual role transformation in the drama “Twenty-Five Twenty-One,” Lee Joo Myung marked his screen debut.

    Jo Jung Suk shared, “Even though we didn’t have scenes together in ‘Hospital Playlist,’ I closely observed Lee Joo Myung. His talent and charm left a strong impression on me. So, I asked Jung Kyung Ho, who was in a scene with him, ‘What do you think of that actor?’”

    He continued, “Jung Kyung Ho also had positive feedback,” and added, “I’ve been keeping an eye on him ever since, so I was thrilled when he was cast this time.”

    Lee Joo Myung, a bit bashful, responded, “I actually liked myself more,” playfully adding, “When I first saw you in costume during prop shooting, you looked incredibly cool. I thought, ‘Indeed, you’re a senior.’”

    “Pilot” follows the story of Han Jung-woo (played by Jo Jung Suk), a star pilot who suddenly becomes unemployed but makes a successful comeback after a dramatic transformation. The film promises comedy and is scheduled for release on July 31st.
