2PM Lee Junho in "Twenty" as an actor

Advertisement

He's more familiar with being a part of 2PM but he's earned the title 'actor'. He started acting 2 years ago but he's gotten himself a lead role and we can't find the title 'idol' anywhere around Lee Junho.

Lee Junho came in first out of 6500 competitors in an audition program called "Superstar Survival" in 2006. He was called the next Rain from this point. He had the skills and became a part of JYP and starred in another reality show. He then came out with an idol group called 2PM and while other members branched out into acting or variety, he stayed a singer.

Then came 2013 when he really took a big step. He acted for the first time in the movie "Cold Eyes". There were worries but he played out the role of "Squirrel" perfectly. The movie recorded more than 5 million people and people started recognizing Lee Junho as 'actor Lee Lee Junho'.

The movie "Twenty" is going to highlight Lee Junho more. "Twenty" is a comedy about the stories of three friends who just turned twenty. Lee Junho takes on the role of vital Dong-woo. He has to work various jobs to support his family but dreams of becoming a comic artist. It's his first leading role, too.

Lee Junho's character supports an immature mother and three younger siblings. However, he's very optimistic and is a type of character many youths can relate to.

Lee Junho is still being selfish about being a singer and actor at the same time. He's slowly headed towards the direction of being a 'trusted actor'. Hopefully, by his third movie "Memories of the Sword", we'll be accustomed to hearing his name under 'actor'.
