Actor Joo Jong Hyuk revealed that he tells himself that he is G-DRAGON of K-pop boy group BIGBANG when he needs confidence.
On September 18 episode of SBS' television show 'My Little Old Boy', Joo Jong Hyuk made a guest appearance.
During the opening, the hosts mentioned that this was Joo Jong Hyuk's very first television show appearance.
Joo Jong Hyuk smiled and said, "Ah yes, it is, indeed. So, I'm really nervous right now."
Shin Dong-yeop commented, "I heard that there is something that you do to boost your confidence when you're too nervous."
Joo Jong Hyuk answered, "I'm especially not good with photo shoots. While I was filming 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', I told Kang Ki Young about how I find photo shoots really difficult, and he gave me great advice."
He continued, "He told me to say 'I'm G-DRAGON!' loud 10 times before the shooting begins. After that day, I've been repeating 'I'm G-DRAGON!" before my shootings to give myself some confidence."
Then, the host Seo Jang-hoon said, "Since you're a little nervous now, how about you say 'I'm G-DRAGON' before we really begin our talk today?"
Joo Jong Hyuk responded, "Oh, but I actually feel more comfortable here than I had expected.", then laughed.
Afterwards, Joo Jong Hyuk talked about keeping in touch with the cast of ENA's recently-ended series 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo'.
Joo Jong Hyuk stated, "We do have a group chat, but I'm in touch with Kang Ki Young the most. He's super funny. I only told him about joining 'My Little Old Boy' today as well."
He laughingly added, "When I told him that, he was like, 'Don't say anything silly when you're there.'"
