Recently, a video conversation between Hong Kong (China) actor Tony Leung and Korean actor Lee Jung Jae was posted on the official YouTube channel of GQ Korea.
In the video, Tony Leung directly reveals the reason why he broke the rules to appear in the MV "Cool with you" of the Kpop girl group NewJeans in 2023.
The 63-year-old actor confirmed that participating in acting in the MV "Cool with you" was completely "friendship support" and he did not receive any remuneration.
The reason Luong Trieu Vy gave is very simple but sincere: he wants this to become "a small gift" for Korean fans.
Previously, Korean media revealed that former CEO of ADOR (NewJeans' management company) Min Hee Jin directly recruited Tony Leung by sending the MV script to the male actor through an acquaintance.
Tony Leung has nodded in agreement to star in NewJeans' MV because of the appeal of the script and characters, regardless of the screen time or cat-xe.
Meanwhile, actor Lee Jung Jae also added an interesting behind-the-scenes detail, which is that the director of this MV has a very close relationship with him.
After collaborating with Tony Leung Chieu Vy, the director did not hide his excitement and pride, and even ran to "show off" to Lee Jung Jae that: "Working with Tony Leung Chieu Vy is truly a great honor!".
In fact, this is not the first time Tony Leung has "encroached" into music videos. In the conversation, he recalled his experience from 2002, when he and Korean beauty queen Jeon Do Yeon and actor Ryu Seung Bum participated in the MV of singer The Name. In particular, he also sang the song himself in Chinese, showing serious investment.
Netizens joked that: "Other people encroach on the field to attract attention, while Tony Leung Chieu Vy encroaches on the field to "give gifts" - a completely different level".
According to media reports, "little gift" from photographer Tony Leung Chieu Vy not only helps NewJeans' MV increase discussion, but also creates a wonderful cultural exchange.
