Oh Ji-ho
through a friend’s eyes
One of the first friends whom Zio met when he first arrived in
Seoul is Jo Yeon-woo, the cake shop employee in the 2000 ‘La Belle,’ which
happens to be Zio’s debut movie.
Zio had his first magazine shoot with Yeon-woo. He admires Yeon-woo’s personality, adding
that his friend is passionate about almost everything.
Yeon-woo, on the the hand, admitted that Zio always looks so
elegant that he feels somewhat shabby whenever the handsome friend is
around. In terms of looks and
appearance, he no longer wants to compete with Zio anymore.
Yeon-woo commented that Zio has a warm personality. Although he may appear reserved and assertive
to some people, Zio is actually a very kind-hearted and direct person besides
being a very approachable and interesting individual.
The two actors met about 14 years ago at a dance club. Zio was standing at a corner when Yeon-woo
first took notice of him. He assumed
that Zio was a model because he is very tall.
Nevertheless, when Zio did not walk over to say hello to him, Yeon-woo
changed his mind and concluded that he must be a sports personality.
Furthermore, Yeon-woo revealed that Zio has a penchant for
beautiful glassware and state-of-the-art cooking utensils; hence, he usually
takes a long time to make up his mind before purchasing any.
Finally, both actors enjoy bowling whenever they have free
time. They are members of Club 300 – Zio
explained that the number does not represent 300 soldiers, but a good bowling
score.
