Actor Moon Sang-min's Unique Bonding Skills Shine in 'Salon Drip' Appearance

Actor Moon Sang-min showcased his exceptional ability to connect with people, including the mothers of those around him.

In the 129th episode of the web variety show TEO 'Salon Drip,' released on the 3rd, actors Go Ah-sung and Moon Sang-min, stars of the Netflix film 'Pavane,' appeared as guests.

Moon Sang-min shared that he naturally becomes close with the mothers of his co-stars. He mentioned, "I have a special bond with Jeon Jong-seo's mother. Since it was her birthday and she seemed to have everything, I thought it would be nice to give her a gift. Knowing she plays table tennis as a hobby, I bought some table tennis equipment and gave it to her at the place where she plays." Previously, Moon Sang-min and Jeon Jong-seo co-starred in the 2024 tvN drama 'Wedding Impossible.'

He added, "Recently, there's a place in Dosan Park where you can walk barefoot on the soil. I've been enjoying it lately. One day, I saw a familiar face there, and it turned out to be my close friend's mother. I asked her, 'How did you come here?' She said she visits often, so we ended up walking together. We stayed in touch and now go for walks together." Comedian Jang Do-yeon expressed her admiration, saying, "It can be difficult to approach mothers," to which Moon Sang-min replied, "It's comfortable and nice."

Moon Sang-min also reminisced about filming on location in Iceland for the movie. He said, "I felt a protective instinct. I wanted to take care of them." The trio, including Go Ah-sung and director Lee Jong-pil, conducted a small-scale shoot on location.

Go Ah-sung explained, "Without a producer or manager, the director handled the filming himself." Moon Sang-min recalled, "In the unfamiliar environment, I stayed close to her in case anyone approached."

However, Go Ah-sung took on most of the challenges. She shared, "Knowing Sang-min had no overseas experience, I felt responsible. I helped him find gates, get a SIM card, and even swapped seats because of his height. We were in economy class," she laughed.

She continued, "We had to travel by rental car, but neither the director nor Sang-min could drive. So, I ended up driving the two men around Iceland." She revealed the harrowing experience, "Due to extreme weather, there was a heavy snowstorm. I turned the steering wheel to the right, but the car tilted left. It was terrifying." Despite the challenges, she added, "Sang-min cheered me on, saying, 'Hang in there, sister, you can do it,' which gave me strength." Moon Sang-min later obtained his driver's license.
