Joo Won thought he was going to die during filming?


Recommended Posts

 

On October 12 airing of SBS 'Healing Camp,' actor Joo Won guested on the show where he talked about the burden of taking on main roles as well as the physical toll that he's endured through filming.

 

When asked about being burdened, Joo Won said, "Being burdened is inevitable. I think its natural to feel burdened as the lead role since the production costs are no joke." 

 

He continued, "I don't like to burden anyone so no matter what happens, I try to tolerate it. If I try, I can understand anything. With time, it can happen."

 

 

MC Kim Jae Dong then asked, "When do you feel the most disappointed?" to which Joo Won answered as his eyes started to fill with tears, "I blow up when people don't recognize how much of an effort I'm making." 

 

He continued, "I was filming for nearly three months and for two months I couldn't sleep and felt like a crazy person. I was physically... I thought then that I would die like this. I had an IV in my arm while traveling. I just lived like that. Then, I thought, 'Is it okay to just tolerate this?'

 

In the past, I would think what's good is good. But then I thought that people were just like this because I kept tolerating. So I blew up. But the problem was when I blew up, when I felt that disappointment, I ran to my car and cried.

As Joo Won fan, it breaks my heart to even watch this...This guy, besides his amazing acting skills has been enduring a lot to achieve those 20% ratings! He pulled 6 all-nighters straight and lost 7 pounds during the shooting. The most amazing thing about him is that he NEVER complains, even during harsh shootings conditions, he keeps being a source of strength for others. 

 

It is to the point where Jung Woong In, his co-star in Yongpal had to request to the production team that they give him some rest! He worked so hard and because he never expresses his frustration openly, directors take advantage of that and work him to the bone...It doesnt even surprise me he exploded by himself like that. I really wish he would be awarded and win BIG for the year-end awards, especially SBS!!! I also wish he would express himself more because they hit those ratings but you can feel he had it worse, he was holding back tears talking about it... I´m proud of him but mad at SBS... This was not right!!!
