Dear Hongrang star Lee Jae Wook reveals his ‘jealous personality,' says Park Ji Hoon's Weak Hero made him envious: ‘It could become poison'
Actor Lee Jae Wook, riding high on a streak of historical fantasies and sword-swinging roles in K-dramas like The Alchemy of Souls and the new Netflix hit Dear Hongrang, opened up about his work ethic and how he picks projects. The actor who debuted in 2018 with Memories of the Alhambra sat down with Dispatch Korea to talk about his latest drama alongside Jo Bo Ah, drawing parallels between the show's title, Tangeum, and his own life. The series's title, based on Jang Da Hye's original novel, translates to an ancient Qing Dynasty punishment, swallowing gold until death. Lee shared what that 'gold' symbolises for him. The 27-year-old has tasted success in very little time and earned the title of Netflix's son from fans, thanks to his multiple hits on the OTT platform. His new K-drama Dear Hongrang, written by Kim Jin Ah and directed by Kim Hong Sun, is a tragic tale of people crushed by status, power, desire, and revenge. Here, gold stands for the ideal everyone chases. When asked what gold means to him, Lee said, 'I think it's a lack or deficiency. I really enjoy meeting people and working. When I'm alone, I just get jealous of hit dramas. Like the series title says, it could become poison.' Also read: Dear Hongrang ending explained: 7 burning questions answered in Lee Jae Wook and Jo Bo Ah story finale Lee explained that when he's alone, he often binges on new shows and pictures himself in their shoes, wondering how he would have performed. 'I always think about how I'd act in those roles. Then I get jealous, thinking, 'Why didn't that script come to me?' That's probably why I keep working without rest,' he laughed. For Lee, he completed Tangeum fueled by that same power of jealousy, determined to show his acting skills so well that no one would think of anyone but Lee Jae-wook as 'Hongrang', and maybe even spark a little envy. Also read: Dear Hongrang star Jo Bo Ah reveals nickname she gave to Lee Jae Wook, shares why she keeps distance from male co-stars In Dear Hongrang, Lee Jae Wook plays the long-lost son of Joseon's wealthiest merchant family. He returns after a decade with no memories. Opposite him is Jo Bo Ah as Jae Yi, his half-sister, who suspects this newly returned family member and is convinced he's not her brother. In a talk with Dispatch, Lee revealed he initially turned down Hongrang's script because he had already done two historical hits, Alchemy of Souls and Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow. But what changed his mind was a handwritten note from writer Kim Jin-ah. Lee said the letter was five or six pages long, where the writer carefully described Hongrang's onscreen personality and his character arc. 'She explained Hongrang's character and gave detailed feedback on my acting. I read that letter overseas and cried my heart out,' he said. 'I was grateful there was a writer who saw me so closely. That's when I reopened the script. I joined with the desire to express Hongrang's pain after unimaginable torture.' Lee's character Jang Uk from Alchemy of Souls is one of his most widely praised roles globally. So when news of him signing a new historical drama broke, fans naturally expected him to return in the same avatar. But the actor surprised them with a darker role. Comparing the two characters, he explained, 'Jang Uk was a growing character. Hongrang's story starts after he has already grown. I pushed through without confusion about the character's nature.' On the other hand, for Hongrang, he said, 'I tried to bring out Hongrang's sharpness. I had to convince viewers with minimal lines. I aimed to show restraint. And I added the detail that Jae Yi was always at the end of his gaze.' Lee Jae Wook took his first role at the age of 21. He's 27 now, with six leading roles already under his belt. The actor revealed he watched Weak Hero Class 1, led by Park Ji-hoon, and felt a twinge of jealousy, spending time thinking about what he would have done if he played that character. 'I think the reason I work without rest is also because of jealousy. Since I'm just watching other works and feeling jealous, I think I'm motivated to work quickly.' Lee is currently planning to enlist in the military and wants to belt out as many shows as he can.

Will Kyuhyun apologize after criticism over The Devil's Plan season 2 gameplay? Singer says ‘Wish I had made…'
The Devil's Plan: Death Room also known as The Devil's Plan season 2 aired its finale episode on May 20, with college student Jung Hyun Gyu coming out on top as the winner. One other strong contender among the cast was Super Junior member Kyuhyun, who made an exit after some troublesome moments with other participants. A major moment that has been causing backlash on the internet is his conversation with Kang Ji Young where netizens are calling out his tone. Now, the singer has clarified his stance regarding the matter. After being flamed for talking unkindly to the news broadcaster, who left just after he exited, Kyuhyun took to the fan communication platform Bubble to speak to his admirers. He tried to calm their nerves, saying, 'They probably couldn't include everything in the broadcast, so the production team and I think the same that it's a shame [all of it was not revealed or I wish had made it in too], but it is what it is. I'll tell you the full story later. Don't be too upset! And just in case [you think otherwise], [I'm clarifying that] the participants are so close, we really understand each other and have such a great relationship, so please see us in a good light. Everyone has their own perspective!' While Kyuhyun has not publicly apologized to the concerned people, it appears that the singer has clarified it personally and plans on revealing the truth to his fans. At the same time, he has also maintained that since everyone has their own 'perspective', it's probably not possible to please everyone.

Why did Jung Hyung Gyu apologize to fellow The Devil's Plan Season 2 player? Winner of Netflix's unscripted show reiterates
Winning a major reality show should be a cause for celebration, but for The Devil's Plan: Death Room Season 2 winner Jung Hyung Gyu, the aftermath has been more complicated. Despite taking home a grand prize of 380 million KRW (approximately USD 273,000), Jung found himself at the center of controversy after comments he made during an episode of the Netflix reality competition show. The episode, aired on May 13, sparked backlash from viewers who felt that Jung Hyung Gyu's attitude toward fellow contestant Choi Hyun Joon came across as dismissive and disrespectful. During a tense strategic moment, Jung Hyung Gyu directed a sarcastic remark at Choi Hyun Joon, asking, 'Can you do arithmetic?' This comment came after Choi Hyun Joon, who was on the same team as Jung Hyung Gyu, made a decision that didn't align with Jung Hyung Gyu's preferred strategy. The comment raised eyebrows, especially considering Choi Hyun Joon is a mathematics major from KAIST, one of South Korea's Known science and engineering universities. The moment quickly gained traction online, with viewers criticizing Jung for what they perceived as arrogance. Some went as far as mocking Jung Hyung Gyu on social media with variations of his own words, while others expressed disappointment in the tone he used throughout the game. In response to the growing criticism, Jung Hyung Gyu acknowledged the controversy. On May 14, just one day after the episode aired, he updated his social media bio to a simple but telling message: 'I'm sorry.' Adding to the disapproval, some viewers also took issue with Jung Hyung Gyu referring to fellow contestant and professional poker player 7high simply as 'Poker.' Still, some fans defended Jung Hyung Gyu, pointing out that The Devil's Plan is a survival-style competition show where strategic intensity and mind games are expected. They argued that his actions were part of the gameplay, not personal attacks. Despite the criticism, Jung ultimately emerged as the winner of the season, edging out a final group that included Choi Hyun Joon, Yoon So Hee, Kyuhyun, Kang Ji Young, 7high, and Son Eun Yoo. As for Jung Hyung Gyu's apology, it is a reminder that even in victory, how players treat others can shape their legacy just as much as the final result.
