Geummyeong, I'm sorry. Lee Joon-young, who apologized to IU, solidifies the trend with heartbreaking pure love



Actor Lee Joon-young continues to work hard without limits.

Lee Joon-young is proud to be a genius in the Netflix series 'MeloMovie', which was released on the 14th of last month, but in reality, he transformed into Hong Si-joon, an unknown composer, and played Jeon Son-son, who plays Son Joo-ah, an ex-lover, with a different pace of emotions, creating empathy for reality.

He created another 'life character' by perfectly portraying the aspect of youth that has matured as much as it hurts after twists and turns, including excitement that started again for his ex-girlfriend after years and tears of anger and love. By digesting Hong Si-jun's complex emotions with flexible acting, proving the spectrum of acting that freely crosses genres, roles, and good and evil, it received favorable reviews as 'Lee Joon-young's rediscovery'.




Then, in the Netflix series 'I've Been Frauded' released on the 14th, he stole the hearts of global viewers with his pure and honest acting that only looked at one woman. From IU, who plays the role of Geum-myeong, and the lovely couple, to the heartbreaking farewell scene after a long-term relationship, she gave food to the heartbreaking acting of Soon Ae-bo.

Lee Joon-young, who properly impressed the public with his 2017 acting debut, tvN 'Buam-dong Vengeance', performed a flirtatious college student 'Bad Guy' in MBC 'Booam-dong Vengeance', winning the Rookie of the Year award in the same year 'MBC 2018 Acting Awards'.

Since then, Lee Joon-young has made his presence impressive by playing villains in succession, including Jung Hyun-min, a deserter in the Netflix series 'D.P.' and Choi Bu-yong, an impressive villain in 'Mask Girl'. In the film 'Brave Citizen', neither the law nor the police were afraid, and they filled the filmography with villains and even got the modifier 'Handsome Trash'.




Last year, he tried to make another acting transformation. In the Disney+ original series 'Royal Loader', he became an extramaritalist of a chaebol family, and in the original Tving series 'I Dream of Cinderella', he transformed into the 8th generation of the Young & Rich MZ chaebol, stimulating the excitement of viewers, proving the power of 'Roco Craftsman'. It has captured the hearts of global viewers by properly bursting the long-established acting skills.

In addition, he made a special appearance as Sejong in the final episode of tvN X TVING's original drama 'Wonkyung', which aired on the 11th, and even though it was his first historical drama challenge, he perfectly portrayed Sejong's heavy charisma with neat and clean acting.

Lee Joon-young, who has shown a variety of characters and bold acting in each film, is currently set to release two next films, including the Netflix series 'Class 2' and the KBS2 drama '24:00 Health Club'.




Lee Joon-young, who opened his lively door in 2025 through "Melo Movie" and amplified the enthusiasm with "Fully Believed" , will show off his more mature skills and prove the true value of "Trusting Actor" through his upcoming works. Expectations are rising as to what kind of person he will be reborn as and show his different charm and charisma, who has grown into a leading actor, satisfying 200% of viewers' expectations.
