Actor Lee Dong-jun revealed the story of losing 5.2 billion won due to the box office failure of the film "Clementine."

On the episode of the SBS variety show "Same Bed Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny" broadcast on the 13th, Lee Dong-jun shared behind-the-scenes stories about the film "Clementine" alongside his nephew Song Jin-woo.

On this day, Song Jin-woo revealed that his father and mother had appeared in the film "Clementine." In response, Lee Dong-jun said, "I shouldn't have let my father act. We wouldn't have failed so badly if he hadn't acted. It failed because he acted. Because we used an amateur," attributing the box office failure to his family and eliciting laughter.

Lee Ji-hye could not hide her surprise, asking, "You lost 5.2 billion won? In that era?" Kim Goo-ra also chimed in, saying, "It was about 20 years ago, so you must have lost a huge amount of money."

Song Jin-woo revealed, "I even sold an apartment in Gangnam specifically for this," shocking the audience. Kim Goo-ra mentioned the hardships at the time, stating, "Lee Dong-jun did things like a 'butt show' in Busan to pay off that debt."

Lee Dong-jun expressed regret, saying, "I should have paid and hired properly, but I did it to save money, to save on production costs." In response, Song Jin-woo mentioned the issue of budget allocation, stating, "Anyway, you put all the money into Steven Seagal, and the rest were..."

Following this, Song Jin-woo offered comfort by saying, "Anyway, we failed financially badly, but people do recognize it, right? The rating is in the 9th-point range." However, Kim Goo-ra countered with, "You should experience it once yourself; it's something like that," adding to the laughter.

Lee Dong-jun self-assessed, saying, "When I watch it again, even though it's a film I made, I really made it strangely." Nevertheless, he revealed his unique affection for the film by stating, "I don't regret it now. When you say Lee Dong-jun, you think of 'Clementine'; when you say Lee Dong-jun, you think of taekwondo. Even though 'Clementine' failed, it became famous to that extent."
