[08.04.15][news] 'Generous wedding guest' Eric: Martial arts training despite injury


Eric confirmed his role as Kang Chil Woo in KBS2's new sageuk drama 'Strongest Chil Woo', which will begin airing in June. Eric plays a lowly court officer who becomes a top assassin by night who executes evildoers. Goo Hye Sun and Seo Woo will star opposite Eric.

In order to prepare for the role, Eric has recently started on martial arts practice.

On April 15, a source close to Eric said that, "Eric was briefly hospitalized for his back injury after Shinhwa's 10th anniversary concert at the end of March. However he recovered very quickly, and he has started martial arts lessons some time ago for basic martial arts training to prepare for the drama. There are plans to systematically increase the intensity of the training."

On the April 14 episode of MBC's Come To Play, guest Jung Seon Hee revealed that Eric gave her a wedding gift of 1 million won, and told her that "the amount is nothing compared to my well wishes for you."

MC Kim Won Hee then added, "Eric gave me a wedding gift of 1 million won too. So if you're planning on getting married, make sure that Eric's able to attend before you decide on a date."
