Actor Joo Ji-hoon recently shared an entertaining behind-the-scenes story about his initial shock regarding the daring and unconventional outfits he wears in the upcoming series ‘The Remarried Empress’.
On the 12th, the YouTube channel ‘MMTG MMTG’ uploaded a special video featuring cast members Shin Min-a, Joo Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young as they discussed the highly anticipated global hit series.
During the episode, host Jaejae asked the cast about their first reactions when they encountered the project. Jaejae noted that many were initially confused and questioned whether the concept was realistic.
Joo Ji-hoon immediately chimed in, shouting, “Ah, the outfits!” He openly confessed his honest thoughts and the internal struggle he faced every time he had to slip into the extravagant and revealing costumes.
The actor generated widespread laughter by stating, “Every time I put on these prepared clothes, I couldn’t help but think, ‘Is this even possible? Does it really need to be this sheer?'”
He specifically touched upon the humorous dilemma of balancing imperial dignity with the unexpectedly high exposure levels of his character’s royal wardrobe.
Joo Ji-hoon jokingly explained, “No matter how much of a fantasy it is, where is the exact line for an emperor’s dignity? Is it the solar plexus, or the belly button?” This remark sent the entire set into fits of laughter.
He added, “I thought about it deeplyβhow much authority does showing the belly button actually symbolize? Normally, casual home wear falls below the solar plexus, while official state attire sits above it,” which completely amused viewers.
