Lee Min-ho shared his feelings about the documentary featuring the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea. He participated in the program for free as a talent donation.

In a promotional interview clip released Monday, Lee said, “I hope (my participation) will help the documentary genre become more popular in Korea.”

He also spoke about the time he spotted a fratricidal boar in the untouched nature of the DMZ and the soldiers he encountered there.

“It was truly shocking to see a boar devour his own kind,” said Lee.

“The soldiers guarding the DMZ were all young. I felt a pang of guilt for that.”

The documentary featuring Lee, “DMZ, the Wild,” will premiere at 11:10 p.m. on Monday at channel MBC.
