Tony Leung's Unpaid Appearance in 'NewJeans MV': A Gift for Korean Fans

On July 20th, ADOR unveiled the behind-the-scenes story of Tony Leung and Jung Ha-yeon's appearance in the 'NewJeans' music video. Tony Leung did not receive any payment for his role. The producer of New Jeans, Min Hee-jin, conveyed the MV script to Tony Leung through a mutual acquaintance, luckily obtaining his consent. Ador's representatives stated that when Tony Leung confirmed the MV script, he did not focus too much on the screen time and willingly played the charming role without any compensation.

The director, Shen Yu-shuo, and ADOR's producer, Min Hee-jin, expressed, 'Although it was a brief appearance, we wanted it to be portrayed by a charismatic and impactful actor. After much consideration, we thought of Tony Leung. Despite his short screen time, he meticulously analyzed the script from the beginning and personally suggested the white hair style for the MV, showcasing immense enthusiasm. On set, he lived up to his reputation as a great actor, giving his best efforts and earning praise from the staff.'

Jung Ha-yeon played Eros, who gave up her divine identity for love. Tony Leung's brief appearance left a profound impression with just his gaze and aura. Although both actors had no lines, they maximized the storytelling of this modern adaptation of the Greek myth 'Eros and Psyche.'

Tony Leung's invitation was personally facilitated by ADOR's producer, Min Hee-jin. Min conveyed the script to Tony Leung through a mutual acquaintance, and despite the screen time, Tony Leung graciously played this charming role without compensation. Tony Leung expressed, 'We have formed a good fate, and I want to give Korean fans a humble gift.'
