Actor Lee Jun-young recently discussed a memorable incident at the Blue Dragon Series Awards on the SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy' where he appeared as a special MC on the episode aired on the 21st.
Lee Jun-young, who gained popularity for his role as Young-beom, IU's first love in 'You Have Done Well,' shared an amusing anecdote about a scene in the drama. He mentioned, "A viewer seriously asked if I should apologize for a scene. I received a lot of criticism after the broadcast," adding, "My father jokingly said, 'I'll serve the scorched rice, so bring home a daughter-in-law.'"
Lee also addressed the mishap at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards held in July. During the event, he mistakenly went on stage when Lee Jun-hyuk was announced as the Popular Star Award winner, thinking his name was called.
He confessed, "I wanted to go home immediately. Before the second part of the event started, I apologized to Jun-hyuk hyung." He continued, "Senior actors told me it was funny and entertaining, but I felt embarrassed. Then, as soon as the second part began, MC Shin Dong-yup brought it up again, making me feel even more ashamed. I thought to myself while showering at home, 'I wish he hadn't mentioned it.'"
Lee further shared a humorous encounter at the airport the next day, "I had an overseas schedule, and at the airport, a staff member emphasized 'Lee Jun Young' when calling my name, which made me laugh."
On the topic of dating, Lee revealed, "I haven't dated much, I can count my relationships on one hand." Despite this, he considers himself a dating expert, explaining that he has a unique flirting technique that doesn't require him to make the first move. "I'm shy and reserved, so I don't speak much. When I stay quiet, people feel the urge to take care of me and approach me," he said.
