'Sikgaek: Heo Yeong-man's Baekban Journey' actor Yoon Jong-hoon said his audition success rate was high even during his unknown years.
On the 15th episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Sikgaek: Heo Yeong-man's Baekban Journey' (hereinafter 'Baekban Journey'), Yoon Jong-hoon, who after long years of anonymity grew into a supporting and leading actor and made a name for himself, appeared. After becoming famous, contrary to his handsome appearance, it was reported that he experienced financial hardship while pursuing acting, and he became a topic again for having delicate hobbies such as calligraphy and cooking.
At first, Yoon Jong-hoon appeared as a 'shoulder-shot appearance' actor. He said he was happy because he could at least receive appearance fees. On his 20th year since debut, Heo Yeong said, "You must have gone to quite a few auditions," and asked.
Yoon Jong-hoon laughed heartily, saying, "I was lucky, so I think I passed almost all of them. I think about 80% passed. Sometimes seven or eight people enter the audition room together. At those times, if I widened my eyes and cursed, everyone was surprised." In response, Heo Yeong asked, "Were you selected?" and Yoon Jong-hoon proudly answered, "Yes, I was."
