• Lee Dong Wook Shares The Uncanny Experience He Had While Playing a Psychopath Serial Killer

    Actor Lee Dong Wook shared the uncanny experience he had while playing a psychopathic serial killer.

    Lee Dong Wook appeared as a guest on tvN's entertainment program 'You Quiz on the Block', which was broadcast on December 22nd. On that episode, when Lee Dong Wook took on the role of a villain for the first time in 23 years of acting, he said, “I acted while always reminding myself that this is all an act that should never actually happen”. He added, "I tried not to get caught up in the emotions of the characters".

    Lee Dong Wook's first villain was Seo Moon Jo in the webtoon-based drama 'Strangers from Hell'. Lee Dong Wook, who plays Seo Moon Jo, a dentist and psychopathic serial killer, showed a completely different side of him from his romantic image of his previous work.

    Regarding this, Lee Dong Wook said, “I thought I was doing fine even when playing the villain, but my friends told me that my eyes have changed. In fact, one day, I looked into the mirror after washing my face, and I was unfamiliar with myself. So I thought to pull myself together”. Sharing that he had felt a different feeling that time.

    At the same time, Lee Dong Wook also confessed to a moment when uncanny thoughts passed by because he was so immersed in the role of Seo Moon Jo. "In the play, there was a scene in which a person's raw teeth were pulled out and tortured. The intensity of the pain is not shown on the screen, but I was contemplating 'How can I pull the teeth so it’s more painful?' he shared. “At that moment, I thought, ‘What is this?’ I thought once again that I have to be more careful when playing roles like this.”

    On that episode the actor also talked about hitting rock bottom after starring in Goblin. “I realized that nothing could be resolved if I just stayed still and did nothing. So I decided to just go at it head-on and played Seo Moon Jo in Strangers from Hell. Acting the way I felt on the set and going with that raw vibe, I became more comfortable in acting,” he commented.

    Meanwhile, Lee Dong Wook is currently starring in tvN’s drama Bad and Crazy and is waiting for the release of his new movie A Year-End Medley.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
