The actor Lee Je-hoon from the movie 'Big Deal' expressed his respect for senior actor Yoo Hae-jin.

On the morning of the 3rd, Lee Je-hoon appeared live on KBS 1TV's 'Morning Garden.' He met viewers as the first guest on 'Invited on Tuesday.'

Lee Je-hoon, who appeared to promote the movie 'Big Deal,' explained about the dynamics with Yoo Hae-jin in the work, saying, "As I see someone like Yoo Hae-jin, my heart keeps being moved. I also have other thoughts. Coming to Korea as a 'bad guy' and trying to swallow the nation's soju company, I wonder what changes there will be, so please watch it in theaters."

He stated, "I met senior Yoo Hae-jin for the first time this time. Since I was young, whenever I watched a movie, Yoo Hae-jin was always appearing in it. When I thought about it, I realized that I couldn't explain Korean cinema without Yoo Hae-jin. He is such an important figure, and I felt happy and joyful to shoot knowing he has left behind extraordinary works."

He remarked, "Among the actors I have met, he is the most cheerful and makes those around him comfortable and happy. So I wanted to stay close to him. As the warm times continued, I found it hard to act with charisma against my senior; I kept getting disarmed, making it difficult to act."

Lee Je-hoon admired Yoo Hae-jin's wordplay, saying, "When we took photos together during the stage greeting, the people beside us joked that it looked like an octopus, calling it 'workplace bullying.' Then he said, 'It's a colonoscopy.' How does he respond like that?"

He further emphasized, "I'll recommend that he definitely appears on 'Morning Garden' when he shoots his next film."

'Big Deal' tells the story of Jong-rok (Yoo Hae-jin), a financial officer whose life revolves around the soju company during the 1997 IMF financial crisis, and In-beom (Lee Je-hoon), an employee of a global investment firm who only seeks results, facing off over the fate of Korean soju. The film premiered on the 30th of last month and is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
