Ryu Seung Ryong Talks About Unexpected Success of 'Extreme Job'

Veteran actor Ryu Seung Ryong shared a heartwarming story during his guest appearance on tvN's variety show "You Quiz on the Block."

In the episode released on March 6, Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho welcomed Ryu Seung Ryong as their guest.

During the interview, the celebrity confessed that he felt troubled by the continuous box office failures for four years before "Extreme Job," where he worked with Lee Honey, Gong Myung, Jin Seok Kyu, and Lee Dong Hwi.

As the conversation continued, Ryu Seung Ryong shared the experience he had in promoting his past movie "Extreme Job," which premiered in 2019.

Unaware of the impending success of the film, the legendary actor expressed his desire to have more stage greetings to promote their work, since the team only held stage greetings for one week.

Lee Honey, who also appeared in "You Quiz on the Block" before, mentioned that "Extreme Job" held significant meaning for the five main lead stars for different reasons.

To recall, the movie successfully graced the big screen and garnered 16.6 million moviegoers during its whole run in cinemas.

Reminiscing the recognition that the movie and production received, Ryu Seung Ryong recalled that all the actors, including him, were in tears during the last stage greeting.

Regarding the success of the project, Ryu Seung Ryong recounted a story where a top actress who was not part of the work made him cry, too.

It was none other than Kim Hye Soo.

Ryu Seung Ryong recalled:

"Kim Hye Soo sent me a message around the end of 'Extreme Job.' We worked together in the movie 'My 11 Mother' in 2007, but weren't in constant touch since then.

But in her message, she said, 'I understand the struggles you faced during difficult times. It's truly remarkable how you persevered through them.'"

He went on:

"After reading that text from her, I couldn't stop crying. Tears just flowed uncontrollably."

Meanwhile, the actor is making his small screen return through Netflix's original series "Chicken Nugget," which is scheduled to air this March 15.
