Actor Ju Ji Hoon fondly recalled his experience collaborating with the late Lee Sun Kyun in his upcoming film 'Project Silence'.

In an interview with Star News at a café in Seoul's Sogeok-dong on July 10th, Ju Ji Hoon shared stories ahead of the release of 'Project Silence' on the 12th.

'Project Silence' is a disaster film that premiered at the Midnight Screening of the 76th Cannes International Film Festival. It portrays people fighting to survive a crisis involving military experimental dogs on an airport bridge shrouded in fog-related collisions.

In the film, Ju Ji Hoon plays Lekka, a daring adventurer aiming for a big win in life. Despite it being their first project together, Ju Ji Hoon and Lee Sun Kyun, who passed away last December, delivered a memorable performance. Lee Sun Kyun portrayed Cha Jeong-won, an administrative officer at the National Security Office.

Reflecting on the film and working with Lee Sun Kyun, Ju Ji Hoon shared, "Every moment on set was precious to me. Lee Sun Kyun was not only a respected colleague and senior actor but also a friend. We shared similar habits, like enjoying a drink after shoots. Despite the challenges of filming, we talked every day, discussing our work and the future."

Comparing their acting styles, Ju Ji Hoon noted, "(Lee) Sun-kyun hyung was meticulous and detail-oriented, whereas I sometimes lean towards a more flexible approach. Observing his dedication to coherence was enlightening for me as an actor."

'Project Silence' marks a poignant final performance for Lee Sun-kyun, leaving a lasting impression on both Ju Ji-hoon and audiences alike.

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.
