Actor Jo Han-gyeol shared an anecdote about an unexpected casting approach during a recent appearance on the YouTube program Hong Seok Cheon’s Jewelry Box, which aired on the 17th.
During the episode, host Hong Seok Cheon and co-host Kim Ddol-ddol asked whether he had ever received a casting offer outside formal channels. Jo responded by recounting an experience at a public sauna, where he said a middle-aged man approached him while he was preparing to leave.
According to Jo, the individual identified himself as being affiliated with an entertainment company and expressed interest in casting him. Jo said he declined the offer, explaining that he was already signed with an agency at the time. Meanwhile, Jo continues to appear in the tvN weekend drama Undercover Miss Hong, where he plays a division head.
