Gong Yoo admitted that “Goblin” became a hit but felt empty. After surviving the low period, his mentality changed and he became “nosy”: It hurts to see Jo Se-ho cry.

Today, Yoo Jae Suk’s “Just an Excuse”released a Mid-Autumn Festival special episode, inviting actor Gong Yoo and stars Yang Se Chan and Jo Se Ho to chat together.

Gong Yoo mentioned that he felt strangely heartbroken when he saw a video of Jo Se Ho crying at a fan meeting. Later, when he met him occasionally at the gym, he wanted to cheer him up, and he wanted to share the good interview content with him.

Yoo Jae Suk asked Gong Yoo if he also had an uneasy side. Gong Yoo said that he had great emotional ups and downs in his 20s and 30s, but he could not explain the specific reasons for his uneasiness. For example, when “Goblin”was very successful, he felt strangely Not feeling happy.

Kong Yoo: “I’m very happy with the results of my work, but unrelatedly, I felt very empty in my heart, and I even couldn’t cheer up for a while. It’s not because the work was not smooth or hard, it was just that I was not able to enjoy the attention and happiness at the wrong time.”

Gong Liu said that it was difficult to openly mention this to others, because at that time, in the eyes of others, he seemed to be flying in the clouds. If he said that he was “feeling a little strange,”he might be regarded as full. After going through this period of time, Gong Liu saw that the mentality of the people around him had changed, and he had “nosy”thoughts such as “I hope this child will not get hurt and sad.”

The fan meeting Gong Yoo mentioned was an episode of the MBC variety show “Do Something I’ve Never Done Before”in July this year. A group of comedians held a “narcissism fan meeting”because Jang Do-ryun had never done “narcissism”. Cho Shi-ho found that many of his fans came to support, holding his photos and words of support. He was immediately moved and burst into tears. The fans were shouting “Don’t cry”and barely managed to hold back their tears. It was the first time since their debut that they saw this scene. The motivation for their work is everyone’s love.

Yoo Jae Suk also mentioned that he originally wanted to invite Lee Dong Wook to come over to recreate the grand scene of “Goblin”, but it was a pity that Lee Dong Wook was filming overseas at the time. I look forward to having the opportunity to see the two Obamas in their most natural and interesting appearance in “Just an Excuse”in the future XD
