Yoo Jae-myung Confesses, "I Got Hope from Hang Jun and Started Dreaming Again"… Confesses to 'Dream of Becoming a Film Director'

Yoo Jae-myung revealed his true dream.

On the SBS broadcast of Master Hang Jun on October 15, the project for Master Hang Jun's next work officially kicked off.

During the broadcast, actor Yoo Jae-myung and actor Lee Sunbin participated in the audition. While confessing the reason why he became an actor, Yoo cautiously began by saying, "I debated a bit on whether I should share this story or not."

He continued with a solemn resolution that made everyone tense, saying, "I made up my mind to reveal my dream in a private setting."

Yoo shared, "I realized not long ago that my dream was to be a film director," adding, "I gained hope looking at the director," revealing that Hang Jun was a major influence.

Hearing this, Kim Poong joked, "If Hang Jun can do it, why can't I? Even that Hang Jun does it."

In response, Hang Jun let out a sigh of relief looking at Yoo, who became an actor, and said, "It's such a relief. If you had kept studying film directing as originally planned, I would have had one more competitor."

Yoo then remarked, "When I was studying film, I heard an anecdote about the master Martin Scorsese. He was drinking whiskey in a back alley of New York and asked a passerby, 'I'm a guy named Martin, want to invest in me?' That kind of relentless determination became a bible for filmmakers, and Director Hang Jun is that kind of bible." Hang Jun, suddenly placed on the same level as Martin Scorsese, flashed a satisfied smile with a lifted posture, eliciting laughter.
