Actor Chun Jung Myung has shared the heartbreaking reason behind his long break from acting, revealing he even considered retiring from showbiz.

In the December 1 preview of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Chun Jung Myung appeared as a guest and opened up about the challenges he faced during his five-year hiatus.

Super Junior’s Kim Heechul asked, “Why haven’t you been active in projects lately?” addressing the question many fans have been wondering about.

Chun Jung Myung carefully explained, “I went through a major crisis in my life.” He revealed, “A manager I worked with for a long time committed a serious fraud. It wasn’t just me; my parents were also victims of his scam.” His honest confession left everyone in the studio shocked.

He went on to say, “I was exhausted and found it really hard to keep going. There was a time when I seriously thought about leaving the entertainment industry altogether.”

When asked about how his parents reacted, Chun Jung Myung became emotional and couldn’t continue, raising curiosity about how he overcame such a tough period.

Chun Jung Myung’s last acting role was in the 2019 series Urban Cops: KCSI. Although he briefly appeared on MBC’s variety show I Live Alone in April last year, he hasn’t been active in the industry since.

Fans are now hoping this appearance marks a fresh start for the beloved actor as he steps back into the spotlight.

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.
