On January 6, Gong Hyo-jin and Lee Min-ho appeared as guests on the show “Zzanbro“ to promote their next drama “When the stars gossip.
During the show, Gong Hyo-jin revealed a funny behind-the-scenes story about her appearance. “I wasn’t sure if I could do this show because I can’t drink, but Lee Min-ho said he would act like a ‘knight in shining armor’ while managing himself,” he shared. Describing herself as an “alcohol softie” or alcohol junkie, she admitted her low alcohol tolerance, drawing laughter. When he expressed concern about not knowing his limits, Lee Min-ho joked, “Just drink” causing a loud laugh.
Later, appearing slightly tipsy, Gong Hyo-jin joked, “My face is red? My ears feel hot. If the situation worsens, switch to black and white”, earn more laughs. He continued to make fun of Lee Min-ho, “Do you drink like this? You’re dealing with a lot of things,” to which Lee Min-ho responded with a smile, “I feel good, I’m happy.”
Shin Dong-yup also shared a surprising anecdote, “I found out that Lee Min-ho wasn’t a star overnight.” Lee Min-ho explained: “I’ve played a lot of small roles. I was often cast as a nameless waiter or a friend. For five years I held roles without recognition.” Shin Dong-yup joked, “Even with the same face, you really looked like you had a hard life,” causing laughter.
While Lee Min-ho’s image naturally exuded wealth, Gong Hyo-jin was often associated with the image of a struggling householder. However, the reality was just the opposite. Gong Hyo-jin revealed, “I studied abroad in Australia. My father drove a Grandeur at the time,” and laughed, adding: “I was rich when I was young.” Shin Dong-yup chimed in, “Back then, a Grandeur was equivalent to a foreign luxury car now,” confirming his statement.
