Lee Jun-young, ‘I was fooled by the wind’ to continue the popularity with his next work
He is experiencing a new heyday through the Netflix drama ‘Deceived You’, which is gaining sympathy across generations. In the drama, Lee Jun-young plays the role of Park Young-beom, IU‘s (Geum Myung) boyfriend, and properly explodes with melodramatic emotions.
He captivated the hearts of global viewers by showing his sweet romance with IU in episodes 9-12, which correspond to ‘Autumn’, but their breakup due to his parents’ strong opposition.
Thanks to this, interest in Lee Jun-young has been focused not only in Korea but also abroad, and he is determined to continue his popularity through his next work.
Lee Jun-young will be starring in the new KBS 2TV drama ‘21 O‘Clock Health Club’, scheduled to air in April. This is his first time taking on a title role.
The drama is a comic romance that depicts the story of a passionate health trainer and gym members. In the drama, Lee Jun-young plays the role of gym manager Do Hyeon-joong, who rewrote his life through exercise. In a word, he is a ‘fit person’, and his character stands out for his serious yet comical charm.
In particular, since director Park Jun-soo, who created ‘Gaussian Electronics’, which became a hot topic as a so-called ‘crazy drama’, is directing, expectations are high for Lee Jun-young’s ‘B-grade’ comic acting that goes beyond simple laughter.
The production team said, “You will be able to see Lee Jun-young‘s diverse charms”, and “Please look forward to the fantastic acting duo that the male and female leads will show”.”
Meanwhile, Lee Jun-young is scheduled to enlist after appearing in another leading role in Netflix’s ‘Weak Hero Class 2’, which has already been filmed.
