Gong Yoo, South Korea’s hottest actor at the moment after starring in the top-grossing movie Train To Busan (2016) and the No. 1-rated TV series Goblin (2016-2017), could not seem to stop raving about Hong Kong’s movies and actors while he was in the territory for a fan meet.
“Growing up I watched a lot of Hong Kong movies, I watched big stars like Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau and Tony Leung on the big screens. Hong Kong movies were really popular in my generation,” he said through a translator at a press conference at Hong Kong’s Kerry Hotel recently.
