Actor Seo Beom-jun revealed an unexpected connection with Yoo Ji-tae from his days as an aspiring actor.
On the 28th, MBC's I Live Alone (directed by Heo Hyang · Kang Ji-hee · Kim Jin-gyeong · Lee Gyeong-eun · Moon Ki-young) aired, revealing Seo Beom-jun's nine-year single life living alone and the unexpected connection.
In that broadcast Seo Beom-jun said, "Before my debut, while working part-time I also met senior Yoo Ji-tae. I think I was about 20 years old," drawing attention.
The footage shown on the broadcast was from a 2016 Dingo Studio upload to YouTube titled 'You worked hard today. If you saw the acting of a respected actor in front of you? #11 Yoo Ji-tae.' The clip showed young Seo Beom-jun serving when Yoo Ji-tae greeted him, "Beom-jun, hello?" and Seo Beom-jun was startled.
Seo Beom-jun recalled, "I heard they were filming a documentary gathering people who work many part-time jobs," and Park Na-rae explained, "Yoo Ji-tae went to support people who dream of becoming actors."
Later Seo Beom-jun said, "I wanted to meet him once, and I met him at a movie premiere. I greeted him, and he remembered me and gave me his contact information. He even gave me encouragement. I had made him a role model after watching his interviews, and when I actually heard those words it was a very happy and precious time," expressing his overwhelmed feelings.
After the broadcast was released, internet users left supportive and positive responses such as, "Wow I watched that video too but I didn't know it was Seo Beom-jun," "People who live diligently will one day see the light," "The connection with Yoo Ji-tae is so moving. I hope their good senior-junior relationship lasts a long time," and "I look forward to seeing the two in a two-shot work."
Meanwhile, Seo Beom-jun made an impression on viewers by sweeping rookie awards at the 2024 KBS·SBS acting awards. In the recently concluded drama Would You Marry Me? he played Jeong So-min's "pitiful ex-boyfriend" role, and he starred in It's Beautiful Now and The First Night With the Duke. Also on I Live Alone he appeared at Ki's housewarming and drew attention by showing himself as a big eater. <
