I almost missed seeing Lee Sun-kyun's 'My Mister'

Actor Lee Sun-kyun confessed that he tried to quit acting when he first debuted.

The tvN entertainment show 'Very Private Southeast Asia', which aired on the 10th, included Lee Sun-gyun, Jang Hang-jun, Kim Do-hyun, and Kim Nam-hee's travel story to Cambodia.

While taking a break at his lodgings, Kim Do-hyun talked to Lee Sun-kyun about Kampot, the city he was planning to visit tomorrow. When Kim Do-hyun asked, “I think I would feel that way if I succeeded and went to the place I went to when I was a rookie,” Lee Seon-gyun said, “That’s right.” 'R Point' was created by auditioning theater actors and new actors, but it failed after only one episode. “I went back in after a year,” he recalled.

Seon-gyun Lee continued, “The scene was rough back then. Because it's a time when there are only men and they swear. Even if it's hard, the hard times are forgotten. “I only remember the good things,” he said.

Kim Do-hyun said, “I remember my brother worrying. “It’s hard to get rid of the comical image after doing a sitcom,” said Sun-kyun Lee about his worries during his rookie days, and Sun-gyun Lee confessed, “I tried to quit at that time.”

Lee Sun-gyun continued, "I started thinking about how I would make a living as an actor. At the time, I had an older brother who owned a clothing store, and I said I wanted to go and learn the trade. It's not that I wouldn't become an actor, but I needed a way to make money on the side."

Kim Do-hyun sympathized and said, “It seems like all actors around the world share that thought,” and Lee Seon-gyun added, “That’s because they do what they want to do.” Kim Do-hyun also said, “I don’t think there is an actor who doesn’t have that kind of period. “Unless it started to become popular in high school,” he sympathized.

Afterwards, the members went on a hot air balloon ride as their last stop before leaving Siem Reap. In the moving car, Lee Seon-kyun said, “I went to see IU’s performance this time. “It was held at Jamsil Main Stadium, and they flew hot air balloons,” he said, and Jang Hang-jun wondered, “How big was the performance?”

Seon-gyun Lee said, “The main stadium is full,” and “Jieun invites us almost every time we perform.” The ‘My Mister’ team that I worked with is going to see it. “It feels a bit like a revival meeting,” he said.

At the same time, Seon-gyun Lee said, “Ji-eun seems to be more suitable for a strangely dark character. “When I’m doing a drama, I’m immersed in it with a similar feeling to the role,” he praised.

Afterwards, the members boarding the hot air balloon were amazed by the scenery of Cambodia unfolding at 200 meters in the air. Seon-gyun Lee expressed his special emotions, saying, “I feel like I’m going to cry a little.”

After the hot air balloon experience, the members boarded the night bus to Kampot, the filming location of the movie 'R Point'. You had to take off your shoes before boarding the night bus, and the inside was equipped with bunk beds instead of chairs.

Seon-gyun Lee and Hang-jun Jang were assigned to seats with single beds next to each other. When Lee Seon-gyun boasted about his two sons, Jang Hang-jun envied him and said, “We should have had another one too,” and boasted, “My wife shows off her charm when she drinks.” Lee Sun-gyun made everyone laugh by mentioning his wife, Jeon Hye-jin, saying, “We look alike” and “We are annoying to each other.”
