Actor Lee Junyoung expressed his gratitude for Park Jihoon, Yim Siwan, and Do Kyungsoo, who are the representative examples of successful idol-turned-actors.

On the 20th, Lee Junyoung appeared on the segment 'Guerrilla Ha Jiyoung' from Ha Jiyoung's Youtube channel,  where he met broadcaster Ha Jiyoung in Myeongdong.

Lee Junyoung mentioned that roles with masculine personalities that are completely opposite from his real-life image, such as Geum Seongje in 'Weak Hero Class 2,' Jung Hyunmin in 'D.P.,' and Choi Buyong in 'Mask Girl,' left strong impressions on viewers. He then joked, "In reality, I'm actually gentle and affectionate."

Lee Junyoung also brought up his role of a rookie employee in JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama 'Reborn Rookie' and calmly reflected on difficult memories from his own rookie years.

He confessed, "It was completely different from what I had imagined," explaining that he believed things would work out smoothly after his debut, but instead ended up facing even tougher competition due to the endless debut of younger idol groups.

Furthermore, Lee Junyoung also shocked viewers by revealing that when he first began acting in 2017 following his debut with U-KISS in 2014, he was deeply hurt by comments saying, "Don't ruin things for actors who actually deserve to succeed."

He continued, "People assume idols must get plenty of opportunities, but that isn't necessarily true. I went to countless auditions. I felt like if I gave up at that point, I'd become a failure."

Mentioning idol-turned-actors such as Park Jihoon, Yim Siwan, Do Kyungsoo, and more, Lee Junyoung said, "I'm relieved and grateful that they succeeded as idol-turned-actors. I hope to see even more idol-turned-actors in the future."

'Reborn Rookie,' starring Lee Junyoung, is scheduled to premiere on the 30th at 10.40 PM (KST).

Lee Junyoung apologizes for asking a fan "Are you okay with being ugly?" twice

 The chronology:

Fan prepared a joke -> Lee Junyoung misunderstands and said "Are you okay with being ugly?" -> Fan tried to explain the joke and made him try again -> Lee Junyoung said he understood, but he repeated the same mistae -> End of the call (While wondering if he did that on purpose)

I have never seen a fan sign call fails this miserably.

"Are you okay? You throw up when you see something ugly" Becomes "Are you okay with being ugly?"

The clip spread on Instagram and Lee Junyoung became aware of this incident.

And when the fan explained the situation, he commented with an apologyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Hello. I'm the OP.
You might not be curious, but let me offer an explanation.
I showed him a joke written on a piece of paper, but the line break unfortunately made it seem like this:
"Are you okay? With being Ugly? / You throw up when you see it."
(NB: It should've been "Are you okay? You throw up when you see something ugly")
And he only read the first line! After that, I had him do it properly and told him not to misunderstandㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lee Junyoung: "Once again, I'm truly sorry"
