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.

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.
