Lee Jung-jae, who entered the Star Wars universe with the Disney+ (Plus) drama 'Acolyte', revealed the behind-the-scenes details of filming.

Actor Lee Jung-jae appeared as a guest in Sung Si-kyung's YouTube channel. When Sung Si-kyung asked, "How long was the filming period for Acolyte?" Lee Jung-jae said, "There are a total of 8 episodes, and we filmed them over 8 months." He added, "I went two months ahead of the filming period to practice martial arts and study English because there were so many English lines.” he answered.

When Sung Si-kyung praised him and said, "I only saw the trailer, my English was really good," Lee Jung-jae said, "I'm so embarrassed," and showed humility, "I'm not that good at English."

When Seong Si-kyung then asked, “How much did you practice?” Lee Jung-jae said, “There were four dialogue coaches, and we took turns practicing (together) every day.”

He said, "They don't talk much about emotions. They talk a lot about diction (pronunciation), and when it comes to emotions, they say, 'You are an actor, so talk to the director about whether that emotion is right or not.'" .

Regarding how much he practiced his English lines, Lee Jeong-jae said, "As I continued to correct my pronunciation, read in pauses, and flow (with coaches), both sides of my tongue were worn out, so I had a hard time eating. Even if I was sleeping, I had to mutter when I opened my eyes." He said this, surprising Seong Si-kyung.

When Sung Si-kyung admired Lee Jung-jae's efforts and asked, "This is why nothing is free, didn't you hear (from the production crew) that you're too good?" Lee Jung-jae responded, "The director and staff all said they liked it, but what's more important is that the audience“, showing his nervousness.
