    Lee Sun Gyun And Choi Woo Shik Share Stories From The Oscars, Talk About Being Cast For “Parasite,” And More

    Aug 22, 2020

    “Parasite” actors Lee Sun Gyun and Choi Woo Shik shared stories from attending the Oscars, getting cast for the film, and more!

     

    On the August 21 broadcast of tvN’s “Summer Vacation,” Lee Sun Gyun and Park Hee Soon joined Choi Woo Shik and Jung Yu Mi on their “home vacation” reality show.

    While the three men were making rice wine, they began talking about the Oscars, where “Parasite” took home four awards. Lee Sun Gyun commented, “Since it’s live, there’s about a minute where they run commercials, so you have to go to the washroom then. But if you go and don’t come back in that time, the doors close. Choi Woo Shik went to the bathroom and then was locked out,” explaining that he missed their first award.

    Choi Woo Shik added, “At the entrance, I was like ‘I’m Parasite! It’s me! Parasite! Kiwoo!'” He continued, “But right beside me was French actress Léa Seydoux, so I tried even harder to act more upset.”

     

    Later in the night, the group was sharing midnight snacks and chatting when Lee Sun Gyun revealed how he was cast for “Parasite.” He first surprised Jung Yu Mi by commenting, “During ‘Parasite,’ I didn’t have any scenes with Choi Woo Shik.”

    Lee Sun Gyun continued, “When I was working on ‘Bad Police,’ the costume team leader had repeatedly worked with director Bong Joon Ho. They told me, ‘Director Bong is going to contact you.’ But I didn’t even tell my agency. I didn’t even tell [my wife] Hye Jin. I didn’t have any expectations, since I’m such a fan [of Bong Joon Ho]. I was just thinking, ‘What if?’ and then two months later, I actually got the call.”

    He added, “I was so nervous. It wasn’t even confirmed. I was as nervous as I was as a rookie. But I didn’t want to show him how nervous I was. He told me, ‘I want to work with you, but I have just one concern. You look so young, but it’s a role with a daughter in her last year of high school.”

    Lee Sun Gyun cracked everyone up by explaining his response, saying, “Director, my white hairs are insane. My hair is just dyed! I am more than capable!”

     

    Early this year, “Parasite” made history as the first foreign language film to win the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards, which Lee Sun Gyun also touched on. He shared, “Wasn’t that insane? At SAG, there were five nominees. The actors would come out and personally explain what their movie was about. We were going on stage, and suddenly all the actors were standing up for us. In front of me, Leonardo Dicaprio was clapping for me.”

     

    Choi Woo Shik’s also explained his friendship with close friend Park Seo Joon, who made a memorable cameo in “Parasite.” He explained, “We appeared together on the program ‘Shut Up Family.’ I’m his senior by six months. Seo Joon couldn’t even look at me back then.” Choi Woo Shik jokingly added, “I basically raised him, when he was all flustered and didn’t even know where the cameras were.”

    Doesn't look like it will happen after all since we're not seeing any promotion at all.

     

    Yup.

    The sci-fi movie already has the set date, the trailer and even the press conference, while Kingmaker? Not a single photo...

    But, I think it's better not to rush it, especially now that the number of covid cases have increased in SK...

    This article seems to say he has confirmed the project with Son Ye Jin, but no one on social media is talking about it.

    http://vision21.kr/news/article.html?no=106318

     

    I've seen the news on one of SYJ's fan account, but I couldn't open the link so I didn't share it... waiting for other news outlets to report it but couldn't find any...

    When the casting was first announced, even when it's not confirmed yet, the news was everywhere! So I find it weird that when the cast and filming site are confirmed, nobody's talking about it :surprisedwut:

     

    I'll just wait for Soompi to release the article :thumbsup::grimace:

    MBC is doing a documentary on Coffee Prince and planning to meet the main cast.

    The documentary is to be aired on September

     

    https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/article/421/0004826316

     

     

    No mention on who the main cast that will feature on this show yet, but I hope Lee Sun Kyun too since he's the second lead.

    And nothing clear about the format... Are they going to interview the cast together or separately, considering they're all busy people and also the rise on covid in SK...

     

    A bit update on LSK's friend, Oh Man Seok

    Spoiler

    He was tested for covid because he came to contact with another actor that was tested positive.

    Thankfully, Oh Man Seok's test came up negative. But he's still on self quarantine and all of his schedule are cancelled as per safety guidelines.

     

     

     

     

    Edit : update on MBC Coffee Prince documentary

     

    A source from MBC stated, “It’s true that we’re producing a ‘Coffee Prince’ documentary. But the broadcast details and contents have not been finalized.”

    Is there a way to watch this with English subs? And is he going to be on multiple episodes?

     

    I think it's available on Viu...

    And yes, he's the guest for ep 5 and 6 :thumbsup:

     

    Here's some highlights where he played pingpong

     

    and ...what is this called? Where you head the ball?

    It's so much fun!

     

    Can't wait for next week :tenor:

    Looks like Kingmaker might get a fall Korean release. Hopefully trailers will be coming shortly.

     

    Yes, the article said Kingmaker might be released on Cheusok holiday with two other movies,  a sci-fi and a disaster movie...

    Hope it'll do well despite the competition...

    My Mister tells the story about Park Dong Hoon (Lee Sung Kyun) and Lee Ji Ahn (IU), who are living a hard life, meet to heal each other’s scars. Even two years after the drama ended, drama communities still call it a masterpiece and pour out rave reviews. Let’s examine four reasons why these people refer My Mister as the “Best Drama of My Lifetime.”

    I am nervous. Is this a good idea? While SYJ's role sounds like a main one, his is definitely not. I am afraid it will be stereotypical and wooden, with no depth whatsoever. This could go very wrong. 

     

    Seems like he will play the villain? who was originally will be played by Vincent Cassel?

     

    Here's the old summary of the movie

    Will he ever do a good drama again?

     

    I wish he would do an OCN drama, or another slice of life by JTBC... Or a fantasy by tvN!

    He never did a fantasy drama before right?

    Uhm... does he have the bigger role than SKG judging the the poster here? What awesome first poster!!

     

    He got credited second after SKG, so probably not bigger... But I hope he'll have a lot of screen time (unlike in Parasite :sweatingbullets:)

    This is the oversea poster, so maybe they focus on him because he's more well-known now to foreign audience because of Parasite? Haha, I'm just guessing... like you said, it is an awesome poster :thumbsup:

    The director already posted this on his IG so it's pretty much official.

    CJes Ent (SKG agency) also posted on their IG.

    While Hodu...not yet....:mellow:

    Not surprised but still disappointed.

    I mean, they have their actor's face as the focus! Why aren't they proudly posting that poster first!?

    And with the attention My Ahjussi are gaining, I wonder why they don't use it to promote LSK. Make a PDH montage or something...

    And not a single post about Killing Romance...

    I have no word...
