Daaaang dive really getting bigger and bigger. They really just got THE Lee Jung Jae. Awesome interview, Dive Studios!!!

[@user-fd6wb4ke1w]

Yeahhh

[@surekhapisal2077]

Lee Jung Jae is one of those actors who can eat up the screen just by his acting prowess, even though he isn't very confident in real life. He has a global audience, who appreciate his work. Kudos to you on all your achievements and good luck for your future projects 👏.

[@NeraCicero]

It was a bad decision to join the acolyte, cause nobody told him how much woketard nonsense is hated now for all the right reasons. The moment he saw the names of the chicks who wrote that stuff, he should have run. People are ripping this show apart and they are right. It couldnt be more embarrassing. A talent like his is wasted in there.

[@lavendervvoo2970]

u guys, he's being far too humble. the man is a legend. he absolutely blew up from the start. no off days. had major acting chops from the get go, but was also the first sort of modern day sex symbol and fashion icon (before gd, etc.) his first drama, 모래시계 (sandglass) is a cultural masterpiece. so much so that jennie from blackpink was named after his character from that show, jae hee. i personally recognize him as someone who chased roles and never shied away from playing entirely different characters.

[@kawaiiafangirl]

Woah. This is a MAJOR get for the Daebak show. Keep doing big things Eric, and congratulations on The Acolyte Lee Jung Jae!

[@itsNinaLeeyo]

Ain't no way! ....DAEBAK!! I saw the teaser and I'm so excited to watch this.

[@4Everthkful]

Not many actors catch ones attention in a film like Mr. Lee Jung-Jae. He’s the type of actor you see in a film and immediately after you go search and watch other films he’s in. I am happy he is getting recognition internationally after having an amazing career in Korea. I hope to see him in many more films. 👏🏼

[@user-qq2dl1xl5v]

에릭의 인터뷰에 솔직하고 진지하게 임해주신 이정재님 정말 감사합니다 😊🙏❤

[@BUTTERCUPJones]

I STILL CANT BELIEVE HES A JEDI! how awesome!

[@calistafalcontail]

Sadly, Hollyweird is done and the show seems like a dumbsterfire already. I hoped he would stay away from all this american trash.

[@Jean-vo2ob]

Eric’s ability to make people feel safe extends not only to his guests but to the viewer. Watching Daebak always makes me feel safe and cozy. Thanks Eric!

[@catielutz9349]

Great interview!! Can't wait to watch the premiere tomorrow night 🎉 . I've been waiting for the Acolyte since LJJ was announced as a cast member! Love his Korean work pre SG, I know he really did give his best for this so I'm super excited! And yes, Eric, I did recognize your nervousness but it's freaking 이정재님 so of course you were. Legend.

[@fynejules]

Wow Lee Jung Jae on Daebak! Great job on the interview Eric!

[@dance4ever940]

Lee Jung Jae seriously one of the best actors... I was amazed when I first saw him perform in assassination. he's smart because coming out here exposes him more to American speaking people and fans.

[@yelkim_]

이정재 배우를 여기서 보게되다니!! 잘 볼 게요! 감사합니다 😄

[@theofficialpeterkim]

One of my favorite Korean actors especially in Il Mare. He’s very versatile.

[@deborahscott8162]

He’s one of my favorite actors and so glad to see him in the Star Wars franchise. 👏🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@calistafalcontail]

Just that the franchise is pure trash now and Hollyweird is out of quality and creativity. Its embarrassing and its a shame to waste an actor like this for nonsense.

[@HXXXXWXXN]

Been a fan of Jung-Jae ever since I watch "New World", which also ended up being one of my favorite movies ever (definitely top 3)

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Such a thoughtful joyful man!

[@jlynnhi8139]

🫶🏽 The Daebak Show! I just started watching Lee Jung-Jae in ‘Chief of Staff’ and KZbin recommended this episode in my subscriptions tonight 😲! Great interview 👏🏽🤩! Mahalo for the subtitles along with your English 😁🤙🏽!

[@pdppoulamidaspramanick]

Such a great interview! Very thoughtful and honest conversation and I love how cheerful and positive they both are ❤ also Eric and Dive team never disappoints and they keep on growing, so proud of you all!

[@tinatran3732]

Such a great interview! Eric asked all the questions I’ve been so curious about! LJJ - wow wow wow!!! World. Class. Actor.

[@yalazha]

Dang this is probably the biggest Korean star they got into the podcast 😮

[@abzgee11]

I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!! 🤗

[@lindaadams9108]

Love how down to earth and humble Lee Jungjae is. This was a really good interview!

[@billharris7235]

Good interview with a great guest! I don't have Disney+, but I might consider it after this.

[@peacekanu4391]

I’m impressed Eric, great job as always. With love from your number fan in Abuja, Nigeria

[@bliss8688]

인터뷰 진짜 좋았어요!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@KatTopic114]

I adore this platform! I hope it keeps going and everyone continues to be passionate about Dive as I am. Personable stories are always inspiring and motivating.

[@lisaodionstudio]

STARSTRUCK! Lee Jung Jae on the DAEBAK SHOW?!! Are you for real?? 🤩🤩🤩

[@katkatz1531]

This is so amazing!!! I love this show already and seeing Lee Jung Jae on this is amazing! Good job, Eric!

[@alessandraravasio8923]

Attore fantastico e un UOMO UMILE... Sarà ricordato per le sue capacità di recitazione ma soprattutto per la persona che è....grazie

[@pawlovestraveling]

ohohhh ohohoh new studio? or a redecor? also interview with THE LEE JUNGJAE!! WOW he is so sweet and humble 😭❤

[@jjangrymoomin762]

I hope you will see his first directorial film, Hunt (2022). Despite being his first directorial film, it is highly complete.

[@carlo4214]

This man has great style.

[@janerubybell]

Great questions Eric! I loved how sincere and thoughtful JJ’s answers were as well. I didn’t want the interview to end 😂

[@Spencer0090]

this should not be the first for actors!! do more of these!!!

[@wandajackson5989]

I loved this episode. I'm a Hugh fan of Lee Jung-Jae so much ❤️ ♥️ 💗 💖. I was going to watch the latest Star Wars Series, but when I saw that he was staring in it, now it's my priority!!!!

[@user-xs5nw4hk5i]

정재오빠 살인적인 스케쥴인듯... 살엄청빠졌엉 일복은 많으신데 몇달 푹 주무시고 푹쉬어서 건강 돌보시기를ㅜ.ㅜ

[@SeldimSeen1]

Thank you for sharing your interview with this wonderful actor. I am watching the "The Acolyte." Lee Jung-Jae makes the perfect Jedi master. Glad he is getting this opportunity. I am still struggling with the scrip, the flow and continuity of story, but that is not the fault of all the wonderful actors in it.

[@narusasu136]

wow! Unexpected guest, this is amazing

[@NO_trolls_toxics_antis_fakefan]

Wow wow!

[@divestudiosfan]

What a dream guest!!! So cool!

[@liberte2016]

Is that Eric constructing the Korean version of the questions in his mind while spitting out English naturally? 😂 must be nerving, bcuz Mr Lee’s aura and charisma is no joke 😊

[@raekorb3081]

Lovely interview with lovely people. I can't wait to watch Acolyte!

[@SiriphoneG]

Ooh. This was SO good. Amazing actor!! 👏🏻

[@zoelee8471]

Well done Eric! Such a wonderful interview ☺👍

[@namez2a]

Eric should have been the opposing villain in star wars.

[@sfidelisg]

I love this episode. Hahahaha! Oh Mr. Eric Nam, looking forward to more episodes of Daebak show.

[@KolourfulGurl]

I love this! I was so excited for Acolyte! And then I was so excited to hear he was in it! And then I was so excited to see this interview! So many levels of exciting! And so many worlds colliding here! It's amazing!

[@antoniopereira9963]

he's doing a great job at the acolyte

[@user-hw7fl2iq4q]

멋지다! I look forward to watching Lee jung-jae in the movie!

[@fdoctor79]

Great interview. This is you, Eric, in a couple of years. 😊

[@kathleenmckenzie6261]

First of all, congratulations to Lee Jung-Jae on making it really big in the global market. I appreciated this interview. 'Chief of Staff' was my introduction to Lee Jung-Jae. That being said, as a non-Asian viewer, I was totally confused by 'Hunt,' to the extent I decided even watching it a second time would not help me decipher it. I have no idea what his vision was for this series.

[@AngelaSealana]

Great interview!!

[@PK-kitti]

Love this show and hope one we can see you on movie And we need to see you more

[@suyoungshin816]

이정재배우님 피지컬 또한 완벽.. 그저 경이롭다..

Eric is so reserved and silent the whole interview. Dumbstruck from respect 😅

❤❤❤❤

[@Sanismom]

😊

[@mandytan7582]

can you invite Kang Dong Won

[@twisted_introvert]

Excuse me, you didn't have him do the outro jingle! Is JJ too big a star to subject to that particular ritual? Now you're lying when you say it's a tradition that you ask every guest to do it. 😋 It was a great interview otherwise, though. He's clearly very thoughtful and intentional about the projects he chooses & it was interesting to hear his thought processes. (And Eric's Korean sounded pretty good to my Kdrama-trained ears.)

[@dehansamalsiluni2693]

Dear Eric pls have a podcast with NCT Mark,Eric,Kevin and Jacob of The Boyz,Jay and Jake from Enhypen and Bangchan and Felix from Stray Kidz.....that would be the craziest dive studio podcast ever.

[@gracehlung]

they've already done eps with Mark, Bangchan and Felix

[@dehansamalsiluni2693]

@@gracehlung yeah i have seen all of them but i want all of them on one frame that's what i meant☺️

[@xhy3yag62]

For some reason he reminds me of Donnie yen lmao

[@user-wk5oj7se7p]

😂😂😂😂😂😂aaaakasian aaaa

[@jibaro833]

Acolyte is failing in spectacular fashion but NOT because of him. Somebody should have warned him about the woke cringe that is Disney and Star Wars now!

[@yeahhi3207]

Is no one else disappointed in the choice of this guest given all his allegations? 😕

[@user-oi9ej8bk4v]

was hoping someone would say this

[@glitterglam7477]

same :(

[@apoorvabhatnagar4184]

What did he do?

[@mirthblaster36]

The DUIs (20 years ago) are true, the rest has been debunked. It's not hard to find this information at this point for anyone who is interested in the truth.

[@jesusalejo84]

Hope Disney doesn't ruin him, Disney is just the worst
