Lee Seo-jin recalled his first meeting with Kim Kwang-kyu.
On the 8th, a video titled "Pocket type is an excuse" was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Ddeun Ddeun,' featuring guests Kim Kwang-kyu, Lee Seo-jin, and Ji Seok-jin who grants a conversation.
That day, Lee Seo-jin drew attention by revealing about his connection with Kim Kwang-kyu, saying, "It's been nearly 20 years. But 20 years ago, I disliked this guy. When I first met him, my impression was really bad. He seemed really cocky."
Lee Seo-jin noted, "At that time, the only thing this guy had done was the movie 'Friends.' After that, I didn't see him. He only had 'What is your father doing?' and I endured with that before coming into a drama," adding, "Back then, I just greeted him politely, and he responded, 'Oh, I see you have a foul mouth.' I really didn't like him at first."
In response, Kim Kwang-kyu said, "We had worked together before in a movie, even if it was briefly in 'Horror Taxi.' I thought we were close. So, I said hello without any particular meaning," while also saying, "I apologize, young master," which drew laughter.
Regarding the turning point of becoming '20-year friends' from their worst first meeting, Lee Seo-jin said, "After that, we met again in the drama 'Hun.' In the meantime, this guy appeared in 'Fantasy Couple' and became successful. There was a killer role in that drama, and the director wanted to cast him. The previous role was somewhat lacking, so they wanted to change his image to a killer."
He continued, "The first scene was where he was chasing me with a knife trying to kill me. I had to take the knife from him and escape, but I would get caught after running just 20 meters. If I ran 20 meters, I'd go 'ugh!' and the director, who was about my age, yelled, 'Hey, Kim Kwang-kyu!" which evoked great laughter. At that time, Kim Kwang-kyu was undergoing rehabilitation for a torn cruciate ligament.
Lee Seo-jin also shared, "In the afternoon, we were filming a fight, and he was swinging the knife back continuously. He was scared too. When I blocked his knife with my arm, he said, 'Director, wait a moment. This hurts too much.' After that day, we became close. It was so funny, so pitiful and sad."
