Lee Je-hoon‘s white hair background has been revealed.

On the afternoon of the 6th, a production conference for JTBC’s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘The Art of Negotiation’ (directed by Ahn Pan-seok, written by Lee Seung-young) was held at the Grand Ballroom of Ramada Seoul Sindorim Hotel in Sindorim-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul. Actors Lee Je-hoon, Kim Dae-myung, Sung Dong-il, Jang Hyun-seong, Oh Man-seok, Ahn Hyun-ho, Cha Kang-yoon, and director Ahn Pan-seok attended the event.

‘The Art of Negotiation’ is a work that depicts the activities of a legendary negotiator and an M&A expert of a large corporation and his team. It is the new work of director Ahn Pan-seok, who directed ‘White Tower’, ‘Secret Love Affair’, ‘Pretty Sister Who Buys Me Food’, ‘One Spring Night’, and ‘Graduation’. It depicts the process in which Yoon Joo-no (played by Lee Je-hoon), a legend in the negotiation world and a white snake, resolves the 11 trillion won debt of the leading conglomerate Sanin Group. It shows not only the M&A process, which is the “essence of capitalism” that determines the existence of a company, but also a fierce psychological warfare between each character.

Director Ahn Pan-seok said about Yoon Joo-no’s white hair setting, “When I first received the script, I knew that he would have white hair. But as I read the script, the idea of white hair was engraved in my head. So I couldn’t imagine anything else. I didn’t think about having white hair,” and added, “To have white hair, you have to arrive on set 3-4 hours before filming. Lee Je-hoon has a lot of filming to do, but he always came 4 hours early. He endured that and completed the film.”

Lee Je-hoon said, “As an actor, I always want to show a new side of myself. To be honest, I thought it would be difficult to act with white hair. It might look awkward, and I wondered if (viewers) would understand that the character had white hair. I was worried when I heard about his external appearance of white hair. However, I thought that ‘White Death’ means thinking and acting a hundred times, so I really wanted to show people a mysterious but deep side of me as a negotiator when I first saw him. It might be difficult, but I tried courageously. In the end, I really like it,” he said.

‘Negotiation Skills’ will be first broadcast at 10:30 p.m. on the 8th.
