Actor Jo Jung Suk has revealed the extraordinary steps he took to prepare for his role in 'Pilot'.

'Pilot' is a comedy where Han Jung Woo (played by Jo Jung Suk), a former star pilot who suddenly loses his job, embarks on a successful comeback after a dramatic transformation.

This film marks Jo Jung Suk's return to the screen after six years since 'Exit', which was enjoyed by 9.42 million viewers in 2019.

Directed by Kim Han Gyeol, known for 'The Most Ordinary Romance', the movie promises a fresh take on comedy.

Jo Jung Suk shared insights into his physical preparation, stating, "I lost about 7kg. Since I appeared a bit chubby in my previous work, I needed to shed that weight."

He elaborated, "I underwent a lot of acupressure and lymphatic drainage massages. I also followed a 'low-carb' diet plan. I told the costume team, 'I'm determined to lose weight.' That's how I achieved this sharper jawline," highlighting his dedication.

Reflecting on his role, Jo Jung Suk added, "Cross-dressing wasn't easy. It was crucial for viewers who know me to accept this transformation naturally. Only then can they be captivated and immersed in the story."

He humorously recalled, "During filming, there were moments where I questioned myself twice. Like, after a shower scene, I wondered if my hair looked wet in the mirror. It was indeed wet!"

Jo Jung Suk's commitment to his role in 'Pilot' underscores his versatility and dedication as an actor, setting high expectations for his return to the big screen.

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.
