Actor Park Seo Joon shared heartfelt stories about his early career and his connection with Hallyu star Kim Soo Hyun on the show Fairy Table.

On the afternoon of the 13th, a new video featuring Park Seo Joon was uploaded on Jung Jae Hyung's YouTube channel, Fairy Jae Hyung. In the video, MC Jung Jae Hyung asked him about his decision to pursue acting and why he enlisted in the military so quickly after graduating from the acting department at Seoul Arts University.

Park Seo Joon replied honestly, saying, "I had nothing… no connections. To be honest, I'm like a 'black spoon' in this industry." He opened up about the struggles of starting his career without any help.

Jung Jae Hyung understood his feelings and responded, "After graduating from college, how should you live? That time must have felt so bleak, especially for someone who needs to act with no one to rely on."

Park Seo Joon nodded and said, "Right. It was really overwhelming. I was in a situation where I had to start from scratch. I thought, 'Should I even try this?' It felt so hopeless, so I decided to 'sort out my military service first,' even before looking for an agency."

He then shared how he got connected to Kim Soo Hyun after his discharge. "Through a friend of a friend—who was close to Kim Soo Hyun—I asked if I could get introduced to that company. Kim Soo Hyun kindly facilitated the introduction," he explained.

Park Seo Joon recalled the day he visited the agency: "The CEO spoke to me about the contract. With a very confident voice, he handed me the contract, saying, 'This is a standard contract, but if you’re worried, feel free to consult a lawyer.' It was my first time visiting a company, so I said, 'I’ll look it over and get back to you.' At the time, the company was very big, and eventually, I joined that agency."

Park Seo Joon's story is a reminder that every star has to start somewhere. It’s inspiring to see how he navigated his early struggles with the help of Kim Soo Hyun. His journey reflects the importance of support and connections in the tough world of acting. Fans can look forward to seeing how far he has come and the bright future that lies ahead!

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.
