Actor Lee Jung Jae has shared some exciting updates about his life.

On the 25th, a video titled "Has Kim Gotten More Handsome and Funny? EP.46 Lee Jung Jae" was posted on the YouTube channel 'TEO(테오)-Salon Drip 2.'

In the video, Lee Jung Jae talked about his recent activities, saying, "Honestly, I'm surprised too. At my age, work usually decreases and life becomes less busy, but I'm so busy now that I wonder if it's okay to be this busy."

Lee Jung Jae, who recently starred in the Disney+ series "Star Wars: The Acolyte," shared a surprising story.

He said, "I didn't expect to appear so much. I'm not fluent in English and I'm not comfortable acting in English, so I thought my role would be small. I didn't even know I would be playing a Jedi Master until I got the offer."

After gaining international fame through the Netflix series "Squid Game," Lee Jung Jae mentioned, "I went to New York to promote 'The Acolyte.' Even though I was wearing a mask and glasses, people recognized me. They recognized me while I was waiting for the traffic light at a crosswalk."

He also talked about his life before becoming an actor. When Jang Do-yeon asked about his roles in "Il Mare" and "The Young Man," she mentioned, "I heard you originally studied architecture, which makes those two works particularly special to you." Lee Jung Jae revealed, "I was preparing to get a job at an interior design company."

Jang Do-yeon remarked, "You played an architect in 'Il Mare,' so it seems like you met a character similar to yourself. 'The Young Man' is also about a man who wants to succeed as a star." She expressed her surprise.

Lee Jung Jae responded, "I think every work has a fateful element. My appearance in 'The Acolyte' is also fateful. In the past, if an Asian actor appeared as a Jedi, it might have been too soon for the audience to accept. Now, Korean culture is so popular in the Western world."

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
