*** Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook appeared as special guests in the recent episode of 'Pinggyego' from the YouTube channel Ddeunddeun. They joined Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho for a Lunar New Year Special on this day. During their casual talk, Gong Yoo leaned over to Jo Se Ho and cautiously whispered, "Are you really getting married?" Jo Se Ho responded, "I think so?" Seeing their interaction, Lee Dong Wook asked, "Why are you whispering that during the broadcast?" Gong Yoo explained, "I read an article saying that Jo Se Ho is dating with marriage in mind, right? But there are so many exaggerated news these days. So I thought it might be exaggerated."  Lee Dong Wook then asked Jo Se Ho to clarify, "Oh, is your girlfriend aware that you are dating with marriage in mind?" making everyone laugh. Gong Yoo added, "That's what I am saying," and Yoo Jae Suk added, "I asked if they confirmed with both families and he said yes." Gong Yoo clarified that he wanted to make sure because he wanted to congratulate Jo Se Ho on the news. Then Yoo Jae Suk asked Gong Yoo, "You're coming to the wedding, right?" and Gong Yoo immediately joked, "I'm going to be busy that day," even without knowing what day the wedding will be held. Jo Se Ho shared, "This (Lee Dong Wook) Hyung said the same thing." And Lee Dong Wook explained, "I knew about this news way back then. So he told me that they were talking about marriage. So I immediately said, 'I don't think I can make it (to your wedding) because I'm going to be busy then, and he (Jo Se Ho) responded 'I didn't even tell you when it was'," making everyone laugh. The two continued to joke with Jo Se Ho saying they were sorry they can't make it to his wedding. No wonder why Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo are "buddies". They're so much funny.

*** I remember there was a time some years ago when Lee Dong Wook once picked IU as his ideal type. On a past radio program, Lee Dong Wook was asked about his ideal type, to which he responded that he liked someone who’s cute like IU. When IU later heard this and ran into Lee Dong Wook on another broadcast, she told him that she bragged to all her friends about how he picked her as his ideal type.

[Herald Interview] 'A Shop for Killers' an action drama with stories to tell

 

“A Shop for Killers” might appear to be an action drama, but the 8-part series is about the story of a lonely girl growing up, the choices various characters make and their consequences, which should give strength to the audience in enduring hardships, according to director Lee Kwon and the actor who portrayed the girl, Kim Hye-jun.

 

Disney+ original "A Shop for Killers" narrates the story of Jung Ji-an (played by Kim Hye-jun), who is targeted by a slew of killers after her uncle, an online weapon shop operator, dies mysteriously. The drama series is based on the novel "The Killer's Shopping Mall," written by Kang Ji-young.

 

Lee Kwon, who previously directed hit Korean thriller works such as "Door Lock (2018)" and "Save Me 2 (2019)," said via the action-packed series, he aimed to shed light on the growth story of Jung.

 

"On the surface, 'A Shop for Killers' appears to be an action drama, but in reality, it's a coming-of-age drama series," said Lee, during an interview held with reporters in Seoul on Wednesday.

 

Lee said one of the main reasons he chose to dramatize the novel is because he was drawn to the novel's narrative of Jung Ji-an, who is left to face the world on her own from a young age after her parents -- in addition to her trusted guardian -- are killed inexplicably.

 

"The series of isolation and the sudden dangers that Ji-an faces, along with the consequences of numerous choices she has to make on her own, and the resulting sense of responsibility (she is coerced to bear), compelled me to dramatize the novel," said Lee.

 

Through the depiction of Ji-an's tumultuous growth story, Lee said he wanted to convey the message that growth is not about being protected, but about taking responsibilities and making decisions for oneself.

 

"The moments in the drama series where Ji-an makes her own choices are so precious," he said.

 

Actor Kim Hye-jun, who played Ji-an in the drama series, said the character's charm also compelled her to play the role.

 

"I was attracted to the fact that Ji-an is given the choice to make extraordinary choices. I was also attracted to Ji-an, as she is a type of character who possesses remarkableness within an ordinary appearance," said Kim, during an interview held with reporters in Seoul on Wednesday.

 

Kim said she also put an effort into characterizing Ji-an's idiosyncratic appearance. In the drama series, Ji-an is represented via her distinguishing set of green and red sweats, and her short hair.

 

"Regarding the attire, I thought it would be nice if Ji-an had a distinctive outfit that comes to mind when thinking about her character. I aimed to convey a sense of strength through the bold colors of red and green," added Kim.

 

Kim said in addition to Ji-an, "A Shop for Killers" features a slew of attractive characters, who portray incredible strength during extreme situations, and, through their actions, the audience could be motivated to endure hardships.

 

"The drama series features flashy actions and entertaining characters, but the essence of the drama series lies in the fact that everyone has something they are striving to protect. I believe the audience watching it could gain courage from that," said Kim.

 

All eight episodes of 'A Shop for Killers' are currently streaming on Disney+.

*** On February 9, Lee Dong Wook joined entertainer Yu Jae Seok's YouTube show 'Pinggyego'.  Here, he reminisced about his early debut days and revealed a heartbreaking reason why he continued filming despite being serious injured in his early career. Lee Dong Wook said, "I made debut with MBC's one-act play 'Bestseller Theater' in 1999. I played the role of a devious high school student. I still remember filming my scenes very vividly. I was supposed to ride a motorcycle in one scene, but I actually couldn't ride one. I fell and injured myself while practicing for that scene the day before actual shooting. There was a way for me to avoid hurting myself though. It was to throw the motorcyle as far away as I could, and jump off from it. I couldn't go for that option, however, because I was scared that I would break the motorcycle that way. That meant that I would have to cover the cost for the motorcycle, so I just couldn't. So, I fell to the ground while I was on the motorcycle instead, and horribly damaged my knees. I went to the hospital afterward, but still, my socks were soaking with blood when I got home on that day.  But the next day was my first day of the shoot. When I got to the site, I was asked to run. I had to depict a moment of my character running as fast as he could, being late for school. I didn't tell the production crew about the condition of my knees, as I was afraid that they might completely remove me from the project if they found out how injured I was. So yeah, I couldn't say a word about my injury. I couldn't risk losing my part in the project, you know. I ended up bleeding a lot again. Nobody on site knew about my injury because it was all bleeding inside my pants. I can laugh about it now, but I went through such a hard time then." Yu Jae Seok asked if he had scars from that time, Lee Dong Wook rolled up his pants and showed the two hosts the scars.
