  [Interview] 2PM′s Junho Shares on ′Twenty,′ Lee Yu Bi and His Future Acting Career

  2015.04.04 21:00

  You go in to watch Kim Woo Bin, but you′ll leave having discovered 2PM′s Junho. Those who watched the film Twenty can relate to this statement. Twenty six years old. Already a successful singer but just a baby when it comes to acting. His potential was acknowledged through the 2013 film Cold Eyes, but it seemed too early to draw a blueprint as an actor. However, his performance in the film Twenty was more than enough to add the title ′actor′ in front of his name. In the film about three 20-year-old friends, Junho acts as Dong Woo, the friend who only has strong survival skills. He dreams of being a cartoonist, but his family′s financial issues prevent him from holding onto those dreams. In the movie, he didn′t charm the audience with something spectacular that only he could do. He only showed a strong and natural flow of acting. He didn′t try to stick out from the rest, but that was what made him stand out even more.

  With his clear eyes and thick eyebrows, the first thing that catches eyes is his baby face. But once a layer of bias is removed, his manliness unveils itself. And once another layer is removed and his stories are heard out, he is a natural born actor. Lee Hyun Woo (22). Some people call him a boy while some people call him a man. And the project that was laid on top of that subtle boundary was the film The Technicians. Proving a number of affiliates in the movie industry true, who guaranteed his transformation in the movie, ‘Jong Bae’ in The Technicians led to a rediscovery on Lee Hyun Woo. In the film The Technicians, depicting the story of a group of technicians trying to rob 150 billion won hidden in Incheon Customs in just 40 minutes, Lee Hyun Woo appeared as the genius hacker, showing his unexpected charisma. However, it was not a character that was created out of the blue. One can’t help but to let out an exclamation upon hearing his story about putting a cigarette into his mouth for the first time, as he matched himself up with the character. Meeting Lee Hyung Woo in person, he was just like how he was in a variety show recently, showing his playful side full of smiles. But he was different when the topic shifted to his project.
