As the actor does the dalgona challenge, he was asked regarding his most memorable experience while filming the Netflix series.
The 44-year-old actor mentioned the tug of war scene and recalled how they shot it in an elevated area and, surprisingly, without stunt performers.
"It was 15m high and even though it was filmed safely, we had to fall from a high place and no stuntmen were used. It was exhilarating," the actor explained.
