30 May:
The three appeared at a press conference for the Monday-Tuesday
KBS 2TV drama ‘
Big‘ on May 29. Gong Yoo stated,
“I haven’t filmed with Suzy very much yet. We’ve finally filmed one scene together, and I feel like acting [with her] is cleansing. When I looked into her eyes, I felt I was being purified.”
He also commented on his co-star Lee Min Jung: “The first impression I had of Lee Min Jung was that she was someone who would lift your spirits. We’ve crossed paths at an advertisement shoot and didn’t talk much, but this time around, it was really casual between us. That’s why we got friendly quickly, and it was more comfortable acting together. I wish she was a bit reserved because she’s very easygoing.”
Lee Min Jung joked in response, “[Gong Yoo] is unexpectedly funny. Because of Gong Yoo sunbaenim’s dandy, neat, and tidy public image, I thought, ‘Maybe he has OCD’… In reality, he’s actually pretty messy.”
The first episode of ‘Big’ airs June 4 at 9:55PM on KBS 2TV.
Gong Yoo‘s fanclub has set out to show their support for his first comeback to the smallscreen in five years.
On May 24th, his official fanclub, ‘
YOO&I‘, visited the set of the ‘
Big‘ film set in Jinchun with 120 servings of ‘samgyetang’ and fresh fruits for dessert. They also provided snacks for breaks in between filming like coffee and ‘shikhye’ to boost up the energy of cast and staff members.
Gong Yoo expressed, “As it is my first time greeting everyone through a drama in five years, I’m doing my very best for each and every scene. I feel both proud and grateful with the support and strength my fans have given me, so much so that I don’t know how to thank them. Thanks to their care, I can stand with square shoulders at the film set. Now that we’ve eaten deliciously, we’ll all run hard until the pilot broadcast. Please look forward to it.”
A representative of ‘Big’ added, “The staff and cast have gotten their staminas recharged thanks to Gong Yoo’s fanclub. We’re all fighting hard at the film set here.”
‘Big’ will begin airing on June 4th.
