Actor Ju Ji Hoon talked about working with the 'veteran acting dog' Finna in his new movie 'Escape.'

On the 10th, Ju Ji Hoon had an interview with Star News at a café in Seoul. He shared stories about his upcoming movie 'Project Silence' (shortened to 'Escape'), which releases on the 12th.

'Project Silence' is a disaster film about people trying to survive after a big accident in the fog and the release of military experimental dogs on a collapsing airport bridge. The film was shown at the Midnight Screening section of the 76th Cannes Film Festival last year.

Ju Ji Hoon plays Jo Park, a tow truck driver with big dreams. He shows a new side of himself in this role. His character has a special bond with his dog, Jody (played by Finna), bringing a lot of energy to the film. Jody is like family to Jo Park, and they face many challenges together. Finna, the dog who plays Jody, is known for roles in 'My Puppy,' the Netflix series 'Mask Girl,' and the drama 'A Good Day to Be a Dog.'

When asked about working with Finna, Ju Ji Hoon said, "The dog training system these days is really advanced. Dog rights have become so good that, honestly, they are better than actors'. Their working hours are very short and strictly regulated," he said, making everyone laugh.

He added, "They even made a doll that looks exactly like Jody, so most of the scenes are actually with the doll. (Dog) welfare has greatly improved," he said with a smile.

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.
