Looks like the handsome actors we love are having some real talk about their appearances! On the 7th, Jang Dong Gun appeared on the YouTube channel Jjanhan Hyung, Shin Dong Yeob and surprised everyone with his honest thoughts. He said, “Back in the early 2000s, when Korean cinema was booming, I thought, 'If I looked a little more ordinary, I could have taken on more roles.'”

Seol Kyung Gu joked, “Are you saying you envied my looks?” To which Jang Dong Gun laughed and said, “I really did envy you!” It’s not every day you hear such comments from a star like him!

On the 11th, Jang Dong Gun spoke about this again on SBS Radio's Park Ha Sun's Cine Town. He explained, “I was just joking, but I really felt that way back then. The 2000s were such a golden time for Korean cinema. I thought if I looked a bit more ordinary, I might have had more chances to act in different roles.” It’s interesting to see how these thoughts about looks can shape an actor's career.

Lee Jin Wook also jumped into this discussion. On the 1st, he joined Shin Hye Sun on VIVOTV and was asked, “I heard you don’t think you’re handsome.” He answered honestly, “That’s something I hear often, and I really feel that way.”

He explained, “It depends on the standard. When I see my friends, I think I’m the best-looking one. But honestly, I believe all actors look similar to me,” then added with a smile, “I know I’m handsome. I really do.” It’s nice to see him acknowledge it while keeping things light!

Earlier, in November, Lee Jin Wook shared on Theo’s Salon Drip 2 segment that when he looks in the mirror, he doesn’t see himself as ‘cool.’

Another actor, Yoo Seung Ho, also opened up about his feelings on his looks. In August, while on VIVOTV, he called his face “sleazy,” saying, “When I look in the mirror, I feel like I look sleazy. I wish I looked honest and bright, like senior Jung Woo Sung.”

In a recent interview for the play Angels in America, Yoo Seung Ho candidly said, “After 32 years, I’d get tired of my own face. Don’t you get tired of it? I really do. The sleaziness is what I dislike most about my face.”

It’s refreshing to hear these actors share their thoughts about beauty and self-image. It shows that even the most handsome stars have their insecurities. Their honesty reminds us that everyone has their own struggles, and we should celebrate the beauty in our differences.

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.
