Actor Yoo Seung Ho has shared his feelings after wrapping up his first theater production, Angels in America – Part One: Millennium Approaches.

On October 8, Yoo Seung Ho sat down with Newsen at a café in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, to discuss his experiences in the play. After 25 years in the entertainment industry, he took on the challenging role and performed on stage for the past two months.

Yoo Seung Ho admitted, “I was really scared going on stage for the first time. The stage was so big, and this play wasn’t easy. I felt nervous, and that made it hard for me to eat. After the second performance, I lost my appetite completely and had to force myself to diet more.”

He shared that he lost a total of 8kg for his role, going from 64kg to 56kg. His character is an AIDS patient who experiences various symptoms, and he felt lucky that his appearance fit the character’s struggles.

Reflecting on his experience, Yoo Seung Ho said, “I didn’t think I could stand for two performances in a row. But after a week, I started to miss the excitement I felt before going on stage after Act 1, Scene 3. I can’t really explain that feeling, but if I get another chance, I’d love to do it again,” he said with a smile.

Angels in America closed on September 28 and is a powerful 200-minute play set in 1980s America. It tells the stories of marginalized people dealing with issues like race, politics, religion, and sexual orientation as they approach the new millennium.

In the play, Yoo Seung Ho played 'Prior Walter,' a gay character from a WASP family, showcasing his incredible acting transformation.

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.
