Yesterday, Yeo Jin-Goo was in town to promote his latest show, Hotel Del Luna.
Run by a cursed CEO, Hotel Del Luna is a rusty-looking hotel that only serves dead souls. The owner Man-wol (IU) has committed a severe crime in her past life, so has been confined in the hotel for a long long time. Coincidentally, she meets an elite hotel manager Goo Chan-sung, who is the youngest vice-manager of a multinational franchise hotel company. However, due to a stroke of fate, Chan-sung ends up running the hotel and facing different mysterious stories that happened there…

"I would like to visit Clarke Quay again, but of course, I’m open to exploring new places in Singapore, so please let me have your recommendations!”
--- Yeo Jin-Goo's comment that left the fans screaming out their recommendations ---
“In Korea, we have a saying that if you leave the food on your plate uneaten, then after you die, you might face the punishment of having to finish all the food you left behind.”
--- Yeo Jin-Goo, on why he will always finish up his favourite dish of Chilli Crab ---
"I’m not exactly afraid of ghosts or anything supernatural, but I do get frightened easily by things that appear suddenly, like bugs. (Laughs) If a really small insect popped out of nowhere, I might still jump out of fear!"
--- Yeo Jin-Goo, on his fears ---
"It’s very hard to choose as they’re both very different in nature. For dramas, you need to be very adaptable and attentive because there could be slight changes to the storyline that you have to act out on a whim. On the other hand, you get more time to dive deeper into your research for a movie role before filming begins. They each have their own charms and I wouldn’t want to choose one over the other."
--- Yeo Jin-Goo, on the difference between acting in dramas and movies ---
“The drama’s ending isn’t exactly a happy one and I remember crying so much after filming the last scene. The same went for all my co-stars.”
