How can you not fall for these eyes? Three pictorials filled with Lee Joon-hyuk‘s diverse charms have been released.

Actor Lee Joon-hyuk has been crowned the cover star of fashion magazine ’ELLE MAN‘. Lee Joon-hyuk, who fashionably pulled off Loewe’s outfits, showed off his irreplaceable presence with a variety of looks, from his signature intense gaze to witty poses.


When asked if he felt the hot love for Lee Joon-hyuk as a ‘trending’ actor these days, he said, “I‘m really busy because the next shoot has just started. However, I feel like there’s more work to do. The staff and people around me like it more than I do, but I always tell them, ‘Let’s not get excited‘ (laughs). At times like that, I think the project must have gone well,” he said humbly.

Having recently shown his diverse side in various genres such as “The Outlaws 3,” “Good or Bad Dongjae,” and “My Perfect Secretary,” he said about playing the role of a “father” for the first time in “My Perfect Secretary,” “I don’t think this work was a drama that showed the reality of parenting. While there are works in the world that show reality and point out what needs to change, there are also works that show a blueprint. Even though it may feel like a fantasy, it is also necessary to give strength and suggest an ‘image’ to move towards, and this time I tried to move in the latter direction,” he said.


Behind his gentle and relaxed expression, Lee Joon-hyuk, who is good at ‘rushing’ and ‘breaking’, when asked what kind of driving force has driven him over the nearly 20 years of acting, said, “I think I have completely separated the characters from myself. In fact, I tend to be afraid of coming to the forefront itself, but I think that Lee Joon-hyuk can be discovered or created again in my works or, as in today’s pictorial where he is holding flowers. As a movie fanatic, I enjoy the process of interpreting the meaning contained in the frame, and in that sense, it is fun when I objectively interpret Lee Joon-hyuk in a certain frame. The process of creating and conveying something abstract that has never existed before with a common goal is interesting. Maybe that was my true driving force,” he said.

The pictorial and interview with Lee Jun-hyuk for can be found in the March issue of ELLE and on the ELLE website. The YouTube content will also be released soon on the ELLE YouTube channel.
