Lee Hee-jun, the ‘sexy guy’ who was completely ruined

Actor Lee Hee-jun shows off his sexy charm.

Jae-pil and Sang-gu, whom Lee Hee-jun will never forget once he sees them, dream of living in the country and move into a new house. On the day when an evil spirit sealed in the basement awakens, the sexy and handsome man 'Sang-gu' appears in the thrilling comedy 'Handsome Guys'. (Lee Hee-jun) is expected to show a unique presence.

Lee Hee-jun played unconventional characters in various genres in his own style. In the series 'Murderer', which recently created a lot of buzz and received much love, as well as 'Dominant Species', 'Chimera', and 'Mouse', he showed stable acting skills that completely absorbed the characters. In addition, in the movies 'The Managers of Namsan' and 'Drug King', in which he appeared with Lee Sung-min, he left a deep impression with a presence comparable to actors like Kira-seong. In addition, he continued to perform on stage in plays such as 'Then and Today' and 'Flower, Stars Pass by', and solidified his solid position as an irreplaceable actor by playing characters with strong personalities regardless of the medium.

In 'Handsome Guys', which will bring extraordinary laughter and fun to theaters in June, he plans to surprise the audience by playing a character they have never seen before as sexy guy 'Sanggu'. 'Sang-gu', played by him, is a sexy guy with a devilish charm. He wears an overly low-cut outfit that fully reveals his overwhelming bulk, a simple expression, and long hair, a symbol of handsomeness, foretells a side of Lee Hee-jun that has never been seen before. Unlike this wild beauty, the loveliness that comes out when he falls in love with 'Mina' (Gong Seung-yeon), a guest who happens to visit the Dream House, and the warmth of taking care of his dog 'Bong-gu' will radiate polarizing charms and captivate the audience. In particular, the 'fantastical combination' play that continues without a break with 'Jaepil' (Lee Seong-min), who is close like a brother, heralds a powerful synergy that is enough to make the audience laugh just by the appearance of the two characters.

Lee Hee-jun said of ‘Sang-gu’, “He looks wild and rough, but he is soft and delicate on the inside, and he is a kind friend,” stimulating curiosity about his dual charm. In addition, director Nam Dong-hyeop said, “I always thought actor Lee Hee-jun was good at acting, but when I actually worked with him, I felt like I met the ‘god of acting’ whose spectrum was broader than I thought.” It is enough to raise expectations as to what kind of overwhelming charm ‘Sanggu’ will capture the hearts of audiences with.

‘Handsome Guys’ is scheduled to be released on June 26.
