The Hallyu star shared how he stepped into acting, saying, "I watched a movie at a theater, and suddenly, I wondered what it would be like for my face to fill up that big screen. My peers frequently suggested that I become a celebrity so I wanted to try."

Lee Dong Wook added that he started acting without any deep knowledge. He commented, "Acting got more and more difficult after I became an adult. I'm getting more and more stressed from it... I feel that acting is difficult every time I start a new project."

Next, Lee Dong Wook was asked about the last things that made him laugh and cry. He answered, "I think I've become very unemotional lately. I haven't had big laughs or tears. But I think the last time I laughed a lot was when I saw my nieces. The last time I cried is probably 2 years ago. I don't cry often if it's not for acting."

He also mentioned the unforgettable drama 'Goblin' and revealed, "We had a great environment on the set, and we're still continuing our strong friendship. The staff members all had great relationships too."
