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."

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.
