In the 8th episode of the ENA variety show "I Missed You" hosted by Choi Hwa-jung and Kim Ho-young, which will air on the 27th at 9:20 p.m., the beloved actor Juwon, known for his reliable acting ability across genres, will appear as a guest and share his unique acting philosophy and beliefs.
Juwon, who comes from a first-generation family in the food industry with a distinct culinary lineage, introduces a favorite restaurant he recommends to overseas fans. Without having to choose between "doenjang jjigae or kimchi jjigae," the lavish spread features an impressive 21 side dishes, causing hosts Choi Hwa-jung and Kim Ho-young to exclaim in admiration. Choi Hwa-jung noted, "This seems to be the most delicious place I've ever been to."
In particular, Juwon and Choi Hwa-jung, who formed a bond through the drama "Stealer," boast a friendship that is deeper than blood. Juwon humorously mentions that his mother is a subscriber to Choi Hwa-jung's YouTube channel, stating, "She tells me to order the best items after watching the YouTube videos," which brings laughter. Choi Hwa-jung, clearly touched, says she will prepare a surprise gift for Juwon's mother on the spot, heightening interest.
Additionally, Juwon, a former instructor at the White Skull Unit, heats up the atmosphere with stories from G-Dragon's trainee days. Juwon shares, "Anyone could tell he walked in a hip-hop style," adding that "later, it changed to a 'knife angle,'" which surprises everyone. He shares several anecdotes from G-Dragon's trainee days, as well as episodes about becoming friendly with BIGBANG members.
Moreover, Juwon unveils the behind-the-scenes of the film "Firefighters," inspired by the tragic Hwajeong-dong fire incident. He emphasizes the importance of knowing where to focus when working on a project, stating, "I hoped that the sincerity of the firefighters would be conveyed clearly, so I concentrated solely on that sincerity." He recalls the challenging situation of filming in front of real flames instead of using CGI, showcasing his prowess as a top-tier actor.
Meanwhile, Juwon shares a poignant story from his time filming the drama "Yong Pal," where he nearly lost his composure due to an intense schedule. However, he enjoyed the honor of receiving a Daesang for "Yong Pal," and even mentioned in his acceptance speech, "My grandmother is monitoring this award," which drew attention. He expressed a special affection for his grandmother, stating, "I want to create works my grandmother would enjoy, and that feeling remains the same even after her passing."
