Interview with Lee Joon-hyeok as Joo Seong-cheol in the movie 'Crime City 3'
Actor Lee Jun-hyeok mentioned the exposure scene in the movie 'Sin City 3'.
On the morning of the 30th, at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Lee Jun-hyeok told various stories about the upcoming movie 'Crime City 3' (director Lee Sang-yong).
'Criminal City 3' is a monster detective Ma Seok-do (Ma Dong-seok) moves to Gwangsu University in Seoul to catch Joo Seong-cheol (Lee Jun-hyeok), who is behind a new drug crime case, and Ricky (Aoki Munetaka), another villain involved in a drug case. It depicts an exhilarating crime-fighting operation for the sake of others.
In the play, Lee Joon-hyeok plays Joo Seong-cheol, a third-generation Korean villain wrapped in a veil. There is no known information about Joo Seong-cheol except that he is behind the new drug case. He is a person who moves one step ahead of the Seoul Metropolitan Investigation Unit and causes confusion in the investigation. In particular, Lee Jun-hyeok drew attention by gaining 20 kg to face Ma Dong-seok.
On this day, Lee Jun-hyeok said, "My heart hurts a little, but starting today, I've gained the same weight as when I was cast in 'Crime City 3.' He was thin. Instead, his liver level improved. Since it can be information about health to the public, I did a blood test (test), and my cholesterol level increased. You have to be careful."
How did Lee Jun-hyeok feel when he heard that he needed to increase his weight by 20 kg? He said, "At first, it seemed like a joke. I have a constitution that gains weight more easily than I thought. Depending on the age, I think it is a body with good cost performance. I save what I eat well. When I see it, it is an advantage. I want to die even if I don't eat, but I'm good at saving. I thought at first that I would get stabbed well because it's good value for money and I have a great constitution. I increased a lot more than I thought. It was a little more difficult because I had to increase my muscles as well. I had to eat a lot of tasteless things. Tasteless Eating was harder than dieting. I had a conversation with my inner self,” he explained, drawing laughter.
Lee Jun-hyeok said, "In terms of muscle mass, bulking up is correct. (Body mass index) has increased by more than 6 to 7 kg. My goal was to have flesh rather than pretty muscles." He continued, "Ma Dong-seok told me to eat more. He kept saying, 'You can eat well.' There was a sense of pleasure that said, 'It's okay'. In fact, the period to build the body was short because it took 3 months. I would have liked to have had more time to go up to 120kg, but that's a pity. I wanted to do it with the feeling of lifting weights in the past. That's a bit unfortunate. 6 months to 1 year If I had time, I think it would have become really huge."
In addition, Lee Jun-hyeok said, "It's not my first exposure scene. Of course, it's the first time I've exposed my huge body. In the past, I did meaningless exposure in the drama 'Three Brothers'. There was a little exposure (for each character I played). Equatorial Man'. At that time, on the contrary, I lost weight to the early 60kg to show that the character would be skinny. In fact, there is an episode. At that time, the drama was filmed like a live broadcast. It was even the first work that had a broadcast accident." said.
Lee Jun-hyeok said, "I said I would show my passion to show the character more bony. But since it's KBS, I put on a trunk. I said it wouldn't be seen, but I was shocked when it went on air in full shot. It remains as a scar in my heart to this day. I like it. It's a character, and it's skinny, but there was a broadcast accident. I wonder if it's a possible happening because it was in the past."
'Crime City 3' starring Lee Jun-hyuk will be released on the 31st.
