Lee Dong Wook Reveals Childhood Modeling Story on YouTube Talk Show
Lee Dong Wook appeared with actress Kim Hye Jun as guests on the Pinggyego talk show hosted on the DdeunDdeun YouTube channel. During the interview he spoke about aspects of his past that had not been disclosed before.
He recalled that at about five years old his mother entered him in a children’s modeling contest organized by a bakery company, and that he was selected, but his extreme shyness caused him to hide behind his mother and miss out on the full experience.
Later, while in high school, he nurtured a dream of acting, attended an acting academy and eventually debuted. Host Yoo Jae Suk reflected on how many similar contests were held in the past, and comedian Heo Kyung Hwan humorously praised Lee’s eyes during the show.
Lee Dong Wook, born in 1981 in Seoul, began his entertainment career at 18 after winning the V‑Ness modeling contest and later rose to fame with roles in series such as My Girl, Goblin, The King’s Hotel, and others.
