Joo Won and Kim Seung Woo show their support for Dokdo on ’1 Night 2 Days’

Actors Joo Won and Kim Seung Woo displayed their patriotism and support for the island of Dokdo on a recent episode of KBS‘s ‘1 Night 2 Days‘.

The island called Dokdo – referred to as Takeshima in Japan and Liancourt Rocks in English – is a point of contention between South Korea and Japan, both of whom claim the tiny spit of rock as their property.

“I don’t know how to describe this feeling,” Kim Seung Woo said upon disembarking. “Am I the only one? I feel weird,” he said, ultimately tearing up at stepping onto the rocks.

Joo Won also was overcome with emotions. “I feel so sorry. Although we keep saying Dokdo is our territory, what have I done personally for this island?” he said. “I’m tearing up thinking of this lone rock standing guard over our land.”

Lee Soo Geun, who had visited Dokdo before, had words of support for the overwhelmed cast members. “I cried too when I first visited Dokdo. But don’t worry – there are the security forces protecting Dokdo, as well as the watchful eyes of 50 million Korean citizens.”

Behind-the-scenes story revealed for Joo Won and Jin Se Yeon’s kiss on ‘Bridal Mask’

The story behind actor Joo Won and actress Jin Se Yeon‘s kiss scene has been revealed.

On the homepage of KBS‘s drama ‘Bridal Mask‘, a making film titled ‘Behind the Gangdan couple’s forest kiss‘ was revealed.

The clip provided viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at Lee Gang To (Joo Won) and Mok Dan (Jin Se Yeon)’s recent kiss scene.

After the kiss scene was over, the director joked, “I tell you to give her a small peck and you kiss her instead” to which Joo Won replied wittily, “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this“, causing a burst of laughter on the set.

Unlike Joo Won who looked relaxed during the shoot, Jin Se Yeon looked shy about the continuous takes for the scene. Joo Won drew extra attention with his gentleman like mannerism, fixing the actress’s messy hair before filming.

Even with such ‘enthusiasm’, the NGs were endless. Joo Won tried to justify saying, “I’m not doing it on purpose. It’s because it’s hard for me to breathe.”

In related news, with the revealing of Gang To as the bridal mask, much attention has being focused on the two co-stars’ love-line.
