Actor Lee Byung-hun recalled his first meeting with director Park Chan-wook.
On the 24th, Park Chan-wook and Lee Byung-hun appeared as guests on tvN's ‘You Quiz on the Block’.
On this day, Lee Byung-hun talked about his first encounter with director Park Chan-wook, saying, "We were having a technical screening for the movie 'The World of Us'. The assistant director ran over and said, 'There’s a director waiting outside. He wants to see you for a moment.' There was a person wearing a coat with a ponytail hairstyle, holding a script. Just looking at his appearance, he seemed unlikable."
Director Park Chan-wook handed Lee Byung-hun a script and proposed a project, but at that time, it was declined. Lee Byung-hun said, "After doing TV activities for a while, I went to the military. Just before I was discharged, my manager handed me a script that was really interesting. Only then did I look at it and saw 'Park Chan-wook' written on it. I was torn about whether to do it or not. But I found the script so enjoyable that I thought, 'Let’s give it a try' and met him."
Meanwhile, ‘You Quiz on the Block’ airs every Wednesday at 8:45 PM.
