Lee Byung-hun Requests Stir-Fried Pork Instead of Payment for 'Escuse?' Appearance

Actor Lee Byung-hun has become the talk of the town after making an unexpected request during his appearance on the popular YouTube talk show 'Escuse?' (Pinggyego). In a preview released on the 13th, Lee, alongside co-stars Lee Sung-min and Yeom Hye-ran from the film 'Unpredictable,' was featured. Host Yoo Jae-suk hailed them as 'gods of acting,' building anticipation for the episode.

Yeom Hye-ran, in particular, recently touched many viewers with her role in the drama 'Everything Will Be Fine.' Ji Suk-jin empathized, saying, "My wife cried so much because of it," to which Yeom replied, "Hearing things like this is comforting." She also mentioned her reluctance to appear on variety shows due to camera shyness. When Lee Byung-hun chimed in, admitting he was similar, Yeom's surprised reaction drew laughter, prompting Yoo Jae-suk to joke, "I thought you two were filming a scene together."

During the broadcast, Yoo Jae-suk pointed out that this was Lee Byung-hun's second time on 'Escuse?' and that he could receive payment if he appeared one more time. In response, Lee humorously requested, "Just send me some stir-fried pork instead of payment," filling the studio with laughter. The episode is scheduled for release on the 20th at 9 AM.

Lee Byung-hun, who debuted in 1991 with the KBS drama 'Sanullim,' is a veteran actor.

He has showcased a wide acting spectrum through numerous hits like 'Inside Men,' 'Masquerade,' and 'Mr. Sunshine.'

He has also actively engaged in global projects, appearing in Hollywood films such as 'Terminator Genisys' and 'The Magnificent Seven.'
