Lee Je-hoon met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 14th and had an interview with the end of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 『The Art of Negotiation』 (written by Lee Seung-young, directed by Ahn Pan-seok). Lee Je-hoon "This work seems to be more regrettable than any other work. I don't want to let him go yet because I still have a lingering feeling that I wonder if the next story should continue this Saturday and Sunday at the moment."
Lee Je-hoon then said "Since we have not yet resolved all the debts of the industrial group, we have greatly opened up the possibility that the story can be written after that." I'm one of those who wants more follow-up stories to be written later. In the case of this work, I think it is a story that can go beyond Season 2, Season 3, and Season 5 like a real American drama, so if the production company and the broadcaster have a need for this work, I hope that you will listen to the viewers and make a story."
Lee Je-hoon "I thought that the subject matter of this work has specificity and how to view the work may not be easy to access, but when looking into the inner story, I think it is a universal story. It was very encouraging to see the indicators that people started to see at first and continued to see many viewers, and how the title of Mother and Daughter 'Negotiation Art' itself may look very hard or cold, but I think people were more immersed in it because it shows the stories of people living in the world. There are a lot of expectations about how the exciting story unfolds deeply, and obviously, how the stories unfold, but as the story unfolds differently from other works, I think I am very grateful that you care about it with such specialness. I'm so happy to see that people watched it with great immersion because the viewership index that ended yesterday and today (14th) is almost three times different than the viewership rating when it started."
Lee Je-hoon leads the company as the representative of the agency Company On and the production company's hardcut, so it is a situation in which 'the art of negotiation' is actually needed. Lee Je-hoon learned a lot from this drama, Yoon Jun-no. It was my first time running a management company in 2021, and as I've been doing it so far, there were many times when I was emotionally agitated and things like that were expressed. I tried to hide those things as much as I could, and I tried not to show them, but since I'm a person, it's kind of like 'Isn't it too unreasonable? Why is it only for me?' These things seem to have been constant. Whenever such a situation occurs, I go through this kind of trouble by setting up a company for no reason. I also thought that it was overwhelming and hectic even as an actor. I think I learned a lot about how to lead the company more wisely and meet people while meeting with a character named Yoon Jun-no.

When asked "What did you feel unreasonable?", Lee Je-hoon said, "When I see the work, there is a direction, and eventually the creator's desire to show this in these things, but I also think that the people who see it are important on the one hand. So, would this work reach the viewers or the audience?? How do you want to be remembered as a work that remains. I think it's a good work to see and talk about it over and over again. In that respect, I want it to be made, so I talk a lot with the person who makes it, and in reality, there are many other schedules besides talking about guarantee, the number of days of filming, and this work, and there are many processes to coordinate them, so even in those things, it can be 'Help me', or it can be a situation where you have to film too much. Then, it seems that he is making a work while coordinating, `Don't worry, leave it to me.'

The Art of Negotiation is a drama about an M&A expert of a large company called the legendary negotiator and the team's performance, and Lee Je-hoon was praised for portraying the legendary M&A expert Yoon Jun-no, leading to a pleasant negotiation. In particular, in the final episode, Yoon Jun-ho revealed the truth of the Jumbo Pharmaceutical stock price manipulation case, which he had planned since he returned to the mountain group, ending his long journey of removing his false accusation and succeeding in revenge, and finishing with a 10.3% (national standard for paid households).
