Actor Ha Jung-woo drew attention by stating, "I'll get married next year," revealing his plans himself.
On Dec. 8, the web variety show Jjanhan Hyung released an episode featuring the leads of the film Witjip Saramdeul: Ha Jung-woo, Honey Lee, Gong Hyo-jin, and Kim Dong-wook. In the video, when someone pointed out that "everyone here is married except me," Ha replied, "Next year, I'm going," signaling he's set on tying the knot.
Asked about his ideal type, Ha didn't hesitate: "Cute and sexy." He added, "Back when Hyo-jin and I were talking and Hani was single, I once told her I really liked Hani and asked to be introduced. This was literally over a decade ago," casually dropping an old anecdote. Gong Hyo-jin chimed in, "He kept going on about how beautiful Hani was back then," and Shin Dong-yup agreed, "Hani is cute and sexy in this unreal way." As the banter heated up, Ha described it as "an exotic vibe," and Shin joked, "I don't know which country, but it's exotic," cracking everyone up.
The conversation turned to the movie. Honey Lee said, "There isn't a single steamy scene, but it got an adults-only rating just for the dialogue." Gong Hyo-jin joked, "You don't even see a wrist—this could be rated 29 and up." Kim Dong-wook added, "There's zero skin, and we still landed a restricted rating on words alone. The director pulled it off." Although most of it was shot on sets, the four actors agreed, "Because we barely saw the sun while filming, it was tougher physically."
Meanwhile, Witjip Saramdeul, which Ha Jung-woo both directed and stars in, is a comedy about an upstairs couple and a downstairs couple getting tangled up over the faint late-night sounds of apartment noise drifting between floors. Ha Jung-woo and Honey Lee play the affectionate couple upstairs, while Gong Hyo-jin and Kim Dong-wook portray the downstairs pair whose relationship has cooled. The film opened on Dec. 3 and is currently in theaters.
