'Radio Star' actor Kim Min-jong recalled the bitter memory of a box office flop during his decades-long entertainment career and wore a rueful expression.
On the 3rd episode of MBC variety show 'Radio Star', the leads of the film 'Firenze', Kim Min-jong and Ye Ji-won, appeared. The story follows a man who time travels to Florence and meets his past self, and Kim Min-jong boldly transformed into long hair, attracting attention. In addition, he drew attention by signing a running-guarantee contract with no guarantee fee, with a break-even point of 200,000 viewers.
Ye Ji-won was also passionate about the film. Ye Ji-won said, "While filming, I had a lot of assignments. There were many Italian lines. I had to recite poems of Lorenzo de' Medici. I had been learning foreign dances like rumba for a year. And I had to perform salpuri. It was a choreography of more than seven minutes and I learned all of it," adding, "I am at a disadvantage, not running-guarantee."
Hearing this, Kim Min-jong said matter-of-factly, "I'll share it." Ye Ji-won suddenly shared a good deed story about Kim Min-jong, saying, "Kim Min-jong bought the plane tickets out of his own pocket when booking."
Those who went to Italy to film Firenze. Ye Ji-won shared a not-so-good-good-deed story about Kim Min-jong. Ye Ji-won said, "During the filming of the movie 'Firenze', Kim Min-jong really bought a lot of meals. Also, the restaurant we frequented was a fan of Kim Min-jong, so they never charged us when we went. And an acquaintance brought wine, beef and Iberico pork," she said, drawing laughter.
Also, Kim Min-jong's good deed story that recently became a hot topic was revealed again. Kim Gu-ra said, "Last time someone scratched a Rolls-Royce, and he handled the accident himself," and asked, "The repair cost alone was 300 million won, isn't the car price about 400 million won?" Kim Min-jong said cautiously, "It costs more than that," and said 600 million won.
He said, "We are neighbors in the same neighborhood, and I was going to quietly let it go, but someone posted about it somewhere. Since then we exchanged greetings, and that person also brings me side dishes," saying he actually became closer with the neighbor. But because people repeatedly asked whether that was his car, he felt embarrassed and sold the car.
Meanwhile, Kim Min-jong recalled memories of film appearances. Kim Min-jong said, "Director Yoon Je-kyun did well with everything except 'My Wife Is a Gangster' but I appeared in 'My Wife Is a Gangster'. The first work 'Two Cops' was something I originally planned to film but I couldn't because I decided to appear in another work, 'This Is the Law', first. A script called 'Sex Is Zero' also came to me, but I set it aside because I didn't want to do it. But when I saw it in theaters, it was so entertaining. I called Im Chang-jung to congratulate him, but my heart felt bittersweet. Then the third work, 'My Wife Is a Gangster', came along. I let go of everything and did it, but it turned out to be a complete disaster," recalling the memory of its failure at the box office.
The YouTuber Malwang, who appeared together, said, "'My Wife Is a Gangster' is a movie I really like. I only learned today that this is a flop," showing a surprised expression.
