Actor Lee Seo Jin, who is known as a tsundere in the entertainment industry, revealed a behind story during the extended filming of MBC’s “Yi San” and drew admiration.
Lee Seo Jin appeared on tvN’s entertainment program “You Quiz on the Block”, which aired on November 9th. On the broadcast, the actor revealed a touching behind-the-scenes story about “Yi San” when the filming was extended due to the drama’s great popularity.
Yoo Jae Seok was very surprised when it was revealed that Lee Seo Jin demanded conditions, such as increasing the appearance fees of actors who play supporting and extra roles as well as giving staff a reward vacation, for the extension of “Yi San” production.
Lee Seo Jin honestly confessed, “That’s right. Actually, I didn’t want to extend the drama production”, adding “I didn’t want to do it, and I thought they would not accept these conditions. So I presented my conditions, but they accept them all so I had no choice but to continue filming the extended part”.
Yoo Jae Seok and Jo Se Ho exclaimed, “This is the charm of Seo Jin hyung”, “Once you fall for him, you won’t be able to get out of his attractiveness. We have no choice but to love him”, expressing their admiration.
Jo Se Ho then asked Lee Seo Jin about the reactions of people around him at that time, the actor said, “The seniors shook my hands to thank me and asked if I felt okay. I actually felt guilty. I didn’t intend to do that”, revealing his feelings.
Yoo Jae Seok commented, “Even when Lee Seo Jin said this, I heard what he often said during the shooting was ‘Please take care of everyone’”.
In response, Lee Seo Jin said, “While filming ‘Yi San’, I realized, ‘I should not eat well and live well alone. I have to work with other people in society. I shouldn’t act like the only person who is doing well’”, adding “The drama ‘Yi San’ helped me learn a lot of things about the people”.
