Lee Do-hyun, outstanding performance in the military

Actor Lee Do-hyun won the 10 million actor title for his first film debut.

Lee Do-hyun achieved the 10 million actor title through his screen debut film ‘Pamyo’. After landing the lead role in his first film, he achieved record-breaking box office success.

'Buried Grave' is an occult mystery film that tells the story of strange events that happen to geomancers, undertakers, and shamans who relocate suspicious tombs in exchange for a large amount of money. 'Pamyo', which showed a rapid box office trend immediately after its release, announced the birth of the first 10 million movie of the year in 32 days of screening on the 24th. Lee Do-hyun, who made his screen debut with this work, has proven his reputation as a ‘box-office talisman’ by appearing in movies as well as dramas.

In the play, Lee Do-hyeon played the role of Bong-gil, a shaman who recited sutras. With the combination of tattoos all over his body, long hair, and a headset, he showed off the 'hip' side of things that go against the 'rough', targeting the tastes of the MZ generation. In addition to the temperature difference between indifference and intensity, Lee Do-hyun showed off his irreplaceable presence with an eerie possessive performance that changed his tone of voice and even his eyes.

In addition, Lee Do-hyun, as a 'chemist', moved the hearts of the audience by depicting the affectionate and strong loyalty with the shaman Hwa-rim (played by Kim Go-eun). In addition, he dominated the screen by showing unrivaled momentum among famous actors such as Choi Min-sik, Kim Go-eun, and Yoo Hae-jin. Lee Do-hyun announced the birth of '10 million newcomers' in the film industry with his genre challenges and unconventional image transformation, as well as his supporting acting skills.

Lee Do-hyun, who debuted in 2017 with 'Prison Wise', has built a solid resume, including '18 Again', 'Sweet Home', 'The Glory', and 'Bad Mom'. It is said to have led to a box office sensation based on its delicate expressive power and high understanding of the work, which is not limited to genres such as romantic, human, and thriller.

In addition, Lee Do-hyun is writing unusually meaningful records even while serving in the military. Following the TVING original series 'Lee Jae, I'm Dying Soon' and the movie 'Breakfast', he has been a huge success, showing that his military service is in vain. In particular, 'Pamyo' has been invited to numerous film festivals, and its copyright has been sold to 133 countries, leading to its strong global popularity. Expectations are rising for Lee Do-hyun's winning streak, which shows no signs of cooling off.
