Lee Dong Wook discussed his debut days when he used to only play small roles.

On the latest episode of 'Strong Heart', the MC shared, "When I used to play small roles, I happened to meet a famous star. Back then, I used to show up on set first. A famous actor appeared then, so I went over to him and greeted him happily. Of course, he wouldn't know me because I was playing a minor role. But he looked coldly at me and said, 'What is this?' and left. That was very hard on me."

He explained, "That moment, I promised to myself that if I became an actor later, I would be nice to the minor role actors."

Despite the fact that he started off playing minor roles, Lee Dong Wook went on to play leading roles in famous dramas such as 'My Girl', 'Scent of  a Woman', and 'Wild Romance'.
