Actor Lee Je-hoon of the movie 'Big Deal' revealed the behind-the-scenes stories of his major filmography, including 'Architecture 101' and the 'Signal' series.
On the morning of 3rd, Lee Je-hoon appeared live on KBS 1TV's 'Morning Forum.' He met with viewers as the first guest on 'Tuesday's Special Guest.'
Before reuniting with audiences through 'Big Deal,' there was also a time to hear the stories behind Lee Je-hoon's impressive filmography. First, he talked about the movie 'Architecture 101,' saying, "I have memories of my first love, and I was curious whether the public would relate. One memorable moment was when Suzy asked me, 'Shall I listen with you?' while putting earphones in my ears, and the song that came out at that time was 'Memory's Sketch' by the band Evaluation. I got goosebumps while reading the script. I thought audiences would relate if they saw it in theaters."
Later, he transformed into an independence activist in director Lee Joon-ik's film 'Park Yeol' and stated, "Preparing for that character, the weight of acting a real person who devoted and sacrificed for our country was incredibly heavy. I couldn't even eat properly while preparing. There were a lot of lines to memorize, so I really focused on my preparation."
On the other hand, nearing a decade since 'Signal' aired, he is preparing for 'Signal 2' with actors Kim Hye-soo and Jo Jin-woong, saying, "Please have high expectations. I am also very excited. I'm worried about how much I can respond to the anticipation. I think viewers will feel that it was worth the wait and hope it doesn’t end."
'Big Deal' tells the story of the 1997 IMF financial crisis, where the company's chief financial officer Jong-rok (played by Yoo Hae-jin) treats soju like his life, while In-beom (played by Lee Je-hoon), an employee of a global investment firm, only seeks results, as they stake the fate of soju in Korea. The film was released on the 30th of last month and is currently playing in cinemas nationwide.
