Actor Wi Ha Joon opened up about the 'sexy' label he gained from his role.

On the 5th, during an interview after wrapping up the tvN weekend drama 'The Midnight Romance In Hagwon', Wi Ha Joon shared thoughts at a café in Gangnam, Seoul, especially thanking Jung Ryeo Won for making his acting comfortable.

Addressing the 'sexy' tag from 'Squid Game', Wi Ha Joon remarked, "I think it was just a passing phase. There are so many talented actors globally, so I haven't focused on popularity for a while. I didn't pursue it then, and I'm not seeking it now."

Looking ahead to 'Squid Game' Season 2 later this year, he added confidently, "I don't feel pressured. I look forward to meeting fans again through 'Squid Game 2'. I filmed with the mindset of greeting everyone again after three years, so I hope they welcome me warmly."

Discussing nicknames he enjoys or hopes to gain, he mentioned, "Wando sexy? Because I'm from Wando. It started as a playful nickname, but I take it as a nice compliment. It's a playful joke, but I live with the mindset of 'Yes, I'm cool,' 'I'm sexy.' I might be the sexiest guy in Wando."

Reflecting on his character in 'The Midnight Romance In Hagwon', he mused, "'Younger man sexy' for Jun-ho. He was a bit rough, like an unpredictable guy, so maybe 'reckless sexy.' Or I'd like to be known as melo sexy."

Wi Ha Joon also emphasized, "While appearance matters, inner qualities are crucial. As I grow older, my inner self matures, which changes things. It depends on how you live your life and treat others. Sexy is a mindset."

Meanwhile, Wi Ha Joon is planning his next project post-'The Midnight Romance In Hagwon' and will embark on a fan meeting tour across five Asian cities starting in August, including Seoul, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

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.
