Jung Woo Gives Hugs During Guerrilla Date, Talks About Popularity After “Reply 1994”
After the success of his drama "Reply 1994", actor Jung Woo has been enjoying the spotlight as one of the breakout actors of 2013.
During the January 18th broadcast of "Entertainment Relay", fans and supporters of the actor were able to share a moment with him during his guerrilla date. Thousands of excited and eager fans gathered in Gangnam to catch a glimpse of the actor and his winning smile, and a number of fans even received a warm hug from him.
In the interview, he talked about skyrocketing to fame with his recently concluded drama. He shared, "I'm older than a lot of my juniors so I feel bad that I was taking the spotlight from them at my age. I was also very tearful because of it."
On being the character 'Garbage', he said, "It's a fun nickname and many people showed interest because of it. I received a lot of love because of him."
When asked about changing his name from Kim Jung Kook to Jung Woo, he said, "My mother thought that the name Kim Jung Kook was too stiff, as opposed to the softer Jung Woo. She said that if I was called by that name, I will become more successful, so I changed my name a few years ago."
"Thank you so much for all the love and support, and I will return with a good project in the future," Jung Woo concluded.
