Actors Kim Jong-un and Lee Dong-geon shared behind-the-scenes stories while recalling the filming of the drama 'Paris Lovers'.

On the 19th, actor Kim Jong-un appeared on SBS's variety program 'I Live Alone' and spoke with Lee Dong-geon about their memories of filming 'Paris Lovers' alongside Park Shin-yang.

Kim Jong-un mentioned Park Shin-yang's iconic scene in the drama where he sang "Can I Love You?" saying, "'Can I Love You?' was sung, and I still remember it. Even more surprisingly, the senior actor suddenly chose that song as his track."

He continued, "The senior didn't know the song. When I arrived at the filming site in the morning, he was lying on the floor writing something. When I asked, 'What are you doing?' he said he was memorizing the lyrics."

Kim Jong-un added, "During filming, the lyrics were displayed so large on the prompter that they looked like big doors. The senior sang while looking at them," which drew laughter from the audience.

He then asked Lee Dong-geon, "Didn't you feel a bit distant with Park Shin-yang back then?"

In response, Lee Dong-geon recalled, "During 'Paris Lovers,' to me, he seemed like an actor who was too perfect. He was truly remarkable on set."

He further explained, "However, due to the role, I had to confront and clash with him. On set, I couldn't just say, 'Senior, I deeply respect you.' I felt that if I became intimidated or froze there, it would be unacceptable. With that mindset, I held onto the script and prepared extensively."

He added, "I believe those moments of deep contemplation while holding the script greatly helped my acting."

Kim Jong-un also confessed that he learned a great deal about acting from Park Shin-yang.

He said, "Even when the filming schedule was extremely tight, the senior would say, 'Stop for a moment. Quiet.' Then he'd ask, 'Jung-hoon, where did we come from and where are we going now?'"

Continuing, he noted, "After calmly reviewing each scene's flow and confirming, 'What should we do right now?' they would proceed with filming. He stated that only through this process could the scene be properly captured."

Kim Jong-un expressed his deep respect for Park Shin-yang, saying, "Watching him like that, I believe I received significant help in my acting."
