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.

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.
