Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk (54) confessed that he started smoking after watching Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat.
On the 9th, tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' released a preview featuring actress Lee Jung-eun as a guest via its YouTube channel.
When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Is your role model Chow Yun-fat?" Lee Jung-eun began by saying, "I fell in love with the movie 'A Better Tomorrow' in my third year of high school."
She added, "So my friend went to the Chinese department, and I, who fell for lead actor Chow Yun-fat, went to the Theater and Film Department."
Yoo Jae-suk joked, "(Mr.) Yun-fat really influenced us so much back then. Lee Jung-eun dreamed of acting while watching Chow Yun-fat, but he taught me how to smoke," drawing laughter. Yoo Jae-suk continued, "I should have learned something else," and added, "But I've quit now."
In the video, Lee Jung-eun recalled her difficult times. She revealed, "In 2003, I formed a theater troupe and produced two plays, but both failed. My debt reached 50 million won." She confessed that she borrowed 50 million won from actors Woo Hyun, Shin Ha-kyun, Ji Jin-hee, and others, and it took a whopping 13 years to repay the money while working part-time jobs.
She also mentioned her experience working as an acting instructor to pay off her debt. She said, "My students were Ji Jin-hee and Lee Hyori." Recalling that time, she added, "It was when Lee Hyori was performing a work called 'Clover' in 2005. I still think Lee Hyori has talent, but it seems people didn't like that image at the time."
Yoo Jae-suk joked, "I watched the drama in 2005 and again in 2026," then added, "I'll stop there," eliciting more laughter.
