Actor Joo Won boasted about an unexpected friendship with Big Bang.
On yesterday's (27th) broadcast of ENA's entertainment show 'Cho Hyun Jung and Kim Ho Young's I've Missed You' episode 8, the charming actor Joo Won, who has a perfect physique, appeared as a guest and colored Sunday night with his human side and down-to-earth wit.
That day, Joo Won showcased his extraordinary loyalty as soon as he met Cho Hyun Jung and Kim Ho Young. Cho Hyun Jung complimented Joo Won, saying, "After the deposit, the actor's visual," and started the conversation by asking, "You didn't come out for publicity, right?" To which Joo Won responded, "I'm taking a break while reviewing my next project," and expressed his fandom for 'Meoknammdae' by saying, "I came out because of my brother and sister."
Joo Won then guided the viewers to his regular place, recognized by his family for 10 years. The regular restaurant, which makes Joo Won, who avoids carbohydrates for dietary reasons, binge-eat, ended the order before sitting down with a single menu, greatly increasing the trust of Cho Hyun Jung and Kim Ho Young. With 21 assorted side dishes that tasted like his mother's cooking, along with seasoned pork neck and grilled dried pollack, topped with braised ribs, Cho Hyun Jung praised, "I think it's the most delicious place I've been to so far."
Cho Hyun Jung pointed out to Joo Won, "You've done many physical works," referring to his frequent appearances in action productions. Joo Won replied, "That's all due to 'Bridal Mask,'" and brought up the movie 'Firefighter.' He said, "'Firefighter' was based on a true story. I hoped their sincerity would be conveyed clearly, rather than trying to look more impressive with techniques," focusing on authenticity. In particular, Joo Won recalled, "The fire on set was not CGI. Initially, I couldn't enter there," evoking emotions from everyone about the fears he faced while filming.
Joo Won also revealed that he built friendships with G-Dragon in the military and formed a group with Beenzino, Ko Kyung Pyo, Taeyang, Daesung, and Gunbae, saying, "I made celebrity friends in the military. Living together, we got to know each other better, so we became close quickly." Furthermore, Joo Won, who mentioned he often had minor illnesses, admitted, "All the pain symptoms disappeared since my military service," making a surprising transformation into an honorary promotion ambassador for the military.
Meanwhile, after moving to an emotion-filled bakery, many of Joo Won's other celebrity friends made appearances. First, Hee Ryung shared, "I called Joo Won oppa to ask him something, and he helped as if it was his own matter." In response, Cho Hyun Jung acknowledged Joo Won's character, saying, "When we were filming the drama, we weren't very close, but he prepared a birthday cake for me."
Additionally, Geon Il expressed, "I've heard many times that he's a very diligent and exemplary student because we share many friends. When I met Joo Won in the military, I was so curious about how 'FM' he was, and his wake-up time is at 6:30 a.m., but he wakes up at 6 a.m." To which Jin Woong added, "Why don't you fulfill the hours set by the country? You need to sleep, right?" eliciting laughter.
Moreover, when asked if he ever went through a slump, Joo Won replied, "It might have come, but I don't think about it. After some time, I realized that even if a project doesn't succeed, there are lessons to learn, and even if it does well, there are things to gain," revealing his philosophy and beliefs he has built over years of activity as an actor.
Meanwhile, always a proud grandson to his grandmother, Joo Won said, "Not long ago, my grandmother passed away, but she watched all the projects I filmed recently before she left," soothing his heart. He shared, "My grandmother was in a nursing home but called my name continuously. I think she held on until the drama ended," reflecting deeply. Joo Won especially expressed, "I wanted to film a project that my grandmother would like, and I still feel the same way," leaving a poignant confession.
