On April 4, 2025, representatives for actors Jung Woo-sung (정우성) and Lee Jung-jae (이정재) confirmed that their recent trip to Beijing, China, was aimed at fostering cultural exchange. The agency, Artist Company (아티스트컴퍼니), stated that the two stars met with officials from six to seven entertainment companies, clarifying that the discussions were not focused on specific business deals but rather on sharing insights about the entertainment industries in Korea and China.
Reports from Chinese media indicated that Jung Woo-sung and Lee Jung-jae had meetings with representatives from Alibaba Group's entertainment division. While some speculated that the visit was business-related, the actors' agency emphasized the intent was to engage in dialogue about the entertainment sectors of both countries.
Additionally, it was revealed that the actors met with renowned Chinese actress Zhou Dongyu (저우동위). This meeting garnered attention on Chinese media and Weibo, highlighting the interaction between top stars from Korea and China. Artist Company clarified that this encounter was not pre-planned; Zhou Dongyu expressed her desire to meet Jung Woo-sung and Lee Jung-jae through her production company, leading to an impromptu meeting rather than a formal business discussion.
Zhou Dongyu is well-known in Korea for her roles in films such as 'Soulmate' (안녕, 나의 소울메이트), 'Some Day or One Day' (먼 훗날 우리), and 'Better Days' (소년 시절의 너).
