Actor Ji Chang Wook expressed his deep affection for his mother.

On July 24th, 'You Quiz on the Block' released a preview video titled 'The Reason Ji Chang Wook Still Lives with His Mother' ahead of the main broadcast.

In the video, Ji Chang Wook shared, "In fact, my father passed away early, and my mother went through a lot of hardships." He revealed his heartfelt feelings towards his mother, saying, "As a son, as family, and as a man, I thought I should protect my mother."

Ji Chang Wook then explained the struggles his mother faced during his childhood. "My mother ran a meat restaurant and a spicy fish stew restaurant in the neighborhood. Since she operated them alone, I helped by serving when she was extremely busy. The hardest part at the meat restaurant was cleaning the grill plates, and at the spicy fish stew restaurant, it was cleaning the fish tanks," he said. "We generally lacked money for me to attend school."

Ji Chang Wook also shared an episode about his agency's CEO, who has been his friend for 20 years. "I did part-time jobs together with my current CEO. He's my closest friend, and he started as my manager and is now the CEO of my agency. I suggested the manager role to him," he said.

Ji Chang Wook added, "Back then, we often filmed through the night, and he would drive while dozing off. We frequently had to travel to remote locations, so if he got sleepy, I told him to sleep at a rest area. But every time I woke up, we were still at the rest area," he said, bringing laughter as he explained that a 2.5 to 3-hour journey once took them 9 hours.

Meanwhile, Ji Chang Wook's appearance on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' will air today, July 24th, at 8:45 PM.

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.
