[K-Artist] Lee Joon Hyuk 이준혁

A Havenite Shrine Dedicated to 

LEE JOON HYUK

 

How not to love this man? From his handsome good looks to his versatile acting skills, it is hard for me not to stan him. Probably my ultimate bias , I took note of him in Secret Forest 1  and fell completely for him in A Poem of Day. How does a man go from playing a smarmy annoying prosecutor to an adorable awkward physiotherapist called the Advice Machine so effortlessly? ( yes I was Ye-Line all the way!)  Tell me if you did not love him as the goofy and warm hearted detective in 365 : Repeat the Year. 

 

Lee Joon Hyuk plays good and bad roles equally convincingly. He is not afraid to challenge himself as he take on roles that may require him to be a villain like in Equator Man , to roles where you may question his state of mind like in Designated Survivor 60 Days.  While he is in my books leading man material, he is more than comfortable in taking on supporting roles that may require loss of limbs and  death like in The Lies Within or as a faithful long suffering Personal Assistant in Are You Human Too. 

 

Apart from dramas, he has had some memorable supporting roles in movies including the successful franchise Along With The Gods , and in Baseball girl  ( which was well-received in both the Seoul and Busan film festivals in 2019)  

 

And here's a fun surprising fact  - he can sing - rocker vibes !

And he's artistic too :D

I think so too.  But it also took him a while to build back his career after military . SF 1 was the one that gave him a lot of attention. 

 

He's a sweetheart and is quite lowkey - no SNS etc. But seems fans were able to dig up his charity contributions. I think he has a soft spot for firefighters  - he is going to be in a movie about them. Started filming in May . Should have wrapped up

@Keyta This article translated as well 

 

https://www.allkpop.com/article/2020/09/actor-lee-joon-hyuk-opens-up-about-his-stranger-2-character-in-singles-magazine

 

Actor Lee Joon Hyuk opened up about his 'Stranger 2' character with 'Singles' magazine.

Lee Joon Hyuk, who's currently starring on 'Stranger 2' as Dongjae, is featured in the October issue of 'Singles', and he took on a dreamy, dark concept in black and white. In his interview, the actor explained, "He's a person who's hateful and annoying to be around, but also has a realistic side. Most people move back and forth a little bit between good and evil. Looking at Dongjae, I hoped he would get the feeling that 'I'm still a little better.'"

He continued on his fans, "I'm really thankful that my fans like me a lot when I promote. What am I even? It's great to be able to give someone energy."

His article in Cine 21: http://www.cine21.com/news/view/?mag_id=96203]

There's an auto translate:

Spoiler

“Dongjae Seo, are you alive now?” As soon as I met actor Lee Jun-hyuk , I wanted to ask. This is because the whereabouts of Prosecutor Dong-jae Seo, who holds the key to the case, has been conspicuous for several times in the situation where both sides set the blade for the adjustment of the prosecutor's right to investigate. Recalling season 1 of the drama <Secret Forest>, which he hated, this moment comes very unfamiliar with everyone saying that it is'Our Dongjae' and everyone wishes for the safe return of Seo Dongjae. Entering Season 2, actor Lee Joon-hyuk focused on Seo Dong-jae's'shamelessness', who became more smirk and agile. This is because he best understands the situation of Dongjae Seo, who has to live harder than anyone else after being pushed out of the center of power. “This is Dongjae Seo, Uijeongbu District Prosecutors’ Office. Take good care of me." After the first line of the scene for the first appearance of season 2, where actor Lee Joon-hyuk worked the most, his desperate and brazenness eventually turned the viewers back. Now that everyone's attention is on'Our Dongjae', we sat down with actor Lee Jun-hyuk and talked.

-<Secret Forest 2> Are you doing a real shooter? I heard that I'm not good at monitoring.

=That's right. At the moment, I don't see what I've done well, and it takes a long time to see it. It's embarrassing. Season 2 is also a little peek. Still, I've seen everything except for the latest two stories. The viewership rating for the first episode of season 2 was better than expected, so'Oh, what is it?' Wanted (Laughter) It was a burden in a good sense.

-Many people are curious about the whereabouts of Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae.

= I am at Dongjae's house because it is in the second stage of Corona 19. (laugh)
