A heartwarming story about entertainer and former model Joo Woo-jae has surfaced.
Recently, an SNS account with around 10,000 followers posted a short video with a caption saying, “Looking back, this happened more than 10 years ago. The protagonist of this story is Joo Woo-jae.”
The author shared, “I’m sharing a heartwarming story about a male celebrity who is very famous now. I don’t work in acting anymore, but at 22, I joined a web drama as a supporting actor after an audition. I did everything on my own without an agency or manager. Joo Woo-jae always looked after me when I was huddled alone and intentionally included me in conversations when he was with the company staff.”
They continued, “Then an incident happened. In a scene where only the two of us appeared, we both showed up wearing the same white striped t-shirt. The staff told me to go change quickly. I kept saying, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’ It was just a mishap caused by a misunderstanding with the props team, and although I changed and finished filming well, I suddenly felt overwhelmed and cried in the restroom. He must have seen that, because he felt very sorry and told me, ‘Thank you so much for being so considerate.'”
Additionally, the author recalled, “The final wrap party was at a jokbal restaurant in Gongdeok, and even then, he sat next to me and told me to eat a lot because it’s collagen.” They added, “Years later, while walking near my house with my mom, I saw him filming at Yeouido Station Exit 6. When I greeted him during a break, he greeted me by my character’s name from the project N years ago. He also bowed politely to my mother, who was smiling from afar. I hope many people know that while he has a chic and cynical image on TV, he is actually a very warm and wonderful person.”
When a netizen commented, “I went to a Joo Woo-jae fan meeting and performance, and his eyes were so warm, unlike his broadcast image, that the warmth left a strong impression,” the author replied, “Exactly. Now I’m fine working alone, but back then, I had little experience and was young, so it was really hard. That’s why the memory of him being kind to me has lasted so long.”
Meanwhile, Joo Woo-jae is appearing in various entertainment programs such as ‘Problem Child in House Season 2’, ‘How Do You Play?’, ‘Save Me! Homes’, and ‘Driver: The Rival’.
