Lee Dong Wook stars as the Grim Reaper on tvN’s Goblin, and the role has been making him more popular than ever.

As the Inquisitr previously reported, some fans have said that it’s the chemistry or between Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook’s characters that makes Goblin such a popular K-drama.

According to Soompi, Dong Wook recently gave a tell-all interview on V Live, where he shared lots of previously unknown information about himself.

Many fans have noticed that one of Lee Dong Wook’s most desirable features is his red lips. During the interview, he was asked the secret behind the alluring color. According to Lee, it’s all natural.

He Enjoys Doing “Nothing” In His Free Time

During the interview, Lee Dong Wook admitted that he doesn’t really do much when he isn’t working. He also doesn’t have much in the way of hobbies.

“My real hobby is to do nothing, but… watching movies by myself, listening to music… that’s it,” he said.

He also admitted to enjoying playing games on his phone, sleeping, and eating snacks during his free time.

He Says He’s Good At Household chores But Often Eats Alone

Dong Wook said he has no problems with doing household chores, which, along with his other attractive attributes, makes him good husband material. He also pretty much confirmed that he’s single when he said that he often eats alone.

“Cleaning, laundry, dishes, cooking. If I put my mind to it I’m good at it,” he said. “But… even if I do cook, I eat alone, so I don’t cook often.”

What He Likes The Most About Goblin’s Grim Reaper Role

Lee Dong Wook admitted that out of all the characters he’s played in the past, he couldn’t think of any that he particularly liked or disliked. But he does like the Grim Reaper character, though.

The role, he said, allows him to show a side of himself that K-drama fans may not have been familiar with.

When asked what’s the most “charming” part of the Grim Reaper character, Dong Wook said he likes that there’s more to the character than meets the eye.

“I think the most charming part of the grim reaper is that he appears cold when he’s working, but he’s actually got a warm heart,” he said. “Personally, I like the warm side of the grim reaper more. His cute charm.”

Lee Dong Wook made his acting debut in 1999. As My Drama List notes, he has become known for playing the leading man from his work in Korean dramas like My Girl, La Dolce Vita, and Scent of a Woman.

Goblin airs on Fridays and Saturdays on tvN, but you can watch it online on Viki or Drama Fever.
