Actor Joo Won surprised fans with his heartfelt support for firefighters in a recent segment of MBC's "Class Crossing the Line", airing on December 17th.

In a special pre-release video for the show, Joo Won became the second "phone friend" in the unexpected segment "Gap Phone Chance" hosted by Jeon Hyun Moo.

While Jeon Hyun Moo was chatting with firefighters at a fire station during their third business trip, he decided to surprise Joo Won with a phone call. After a long dialing tone, Joo Won picked up the phone and greeted Jeon Hyun Moo with a friendly, “Hey, hyung!”

When Jeon Hyun Moo asked what he was up to, Joo Won humorously replied, “Washing the dishes”, making everyone around burst into laughter with his casual response.

But the most touching moment came when Joo Won shared a personal story. He told the firefighters, “When I was young, being a firefighter was my dream, and I looked up to them so much.”

As he stars in the movie "Firefighters" as a rookie firefighter, Joo Won spoke with admiration for the real-life firefighters. “I think it’s a profession that everyone respects and aspires to”, he said. “You should be proud of it.” His words inspired the firefighters who were attending the lecture.

This heartfelt moment comes after Jeon Hyun Moo had previously arranged a phone call with trot singer Young Tak, who is popular with the grandmother rappers of Chilgok, North Gyeongsang.

With Joo Won now as the second phone friend, fans are eagerly waiting to see who Jeon Hyun Moo’s next surprise guest will be!

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
