Lee Jae-wook's current status after breaking up with Karina

Actor Lee Jae-wook revealed his current status.

Lifestyle magazine <Singles> released a visual pictorial of actor Lee Jae-wook. In the photo shoot, which was conducted under the concept of 'redefining masculinity', Lee Jae-wook showed off his strong but soft charm. In this May issue, which used old cars and flowers as props, Lee Jae-wook tried a different look, such as wearing unique colored lenses and a bold one-shoulder top, drawing cheers from the on-site staff.

When asked how he felt about letting go of his role as ‘Han Tae-oh’ in <Royal Roader>, Lee Jae-wook said, “I usually try to separate the character and daily life as much as possible when filming a project. Of course, after filming a scene that involves a lot of emotion, it's a bit difficult even after the camera turns off, but I don't always have to hold on to the character's emotions. Tae-o may be fierce on the inside, but on the outside, he is a friend who hides his emotions and restrains himself as much as possible. I'm trying to get rid of some of the habits I developed back then. “I started making the gesture of covering my mouth when speaking without even realizing it,” he said, expressing his feelings about sending Taeoh.

Lee Jae-wook has gained popularity relatively quickly, but he still has a lot of greed. “I’m still the type of person who gets nervous and anxious when I go on set, and especially when it’s the first time shooting a character, I constantly worry about whether I captured the character the director had in mind, whether I was in sync well, or whether it was the character I wanted to portray.” He revealed his extraordinary passion and greed for acting.

Lee Jae-wook, who changes his perfume every time he enters a new role, said about finding a new perfume, “I think it is a device that creates excitement about the new character and a sense of belonging to the character by choosing a perfume that matches the character:” He explained the reason for his hobby.

Also, when asked that he thought he would look older than his age because he is an actor who looks good in suits, Lee Jae-wook said, “He is mature for his age. People around me often tell me that I’m an adult. “I think it’s because I usually try to be very careful with what I say,” he answered.

When asked if there was a time when he felt the weight of words, he said, “Before I became an actor, I worked a lot of part-time jobs, and I think I felt it at that time. “If I make a mistake, the mistakes follow one after another, creating an uncontrollable situation,” he said. “Now, more people recognize me, and I spend a lot of time in the field where my appearance is recorded. “I spoke carefully,” he said.

Lee Jae-wook's pictorial can be found in the May issue of <Singles> and on the <Single Plus> website. In addition, the <Editor-in-Chief Interview> conducted directly by <Singles> editor-in-chief Kim Gyeoul, in which Jaewook Lee appears as a guest, will also be released on YouTube.
