Actor Lee Je-hoon (41) mentioned investment and performance fees.

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 is also famous for his role as an angel investor. Earlier, Lee Je-hoon's name was mentioned several times in the success stories of start-up companies. Lee Je-hoon said "It would be great to have an insight (for investment), but I couldn't. I'm looking into that with interest, and I think it can be premature to make predictions about the future and have expectations, and it's always difficult. As my portfolio builds up in my own way, some say that I should beat the stone bridge, and the boldness of not knowing it has decreased, and I think I have a lot of difficulties in making choices. It may be ironic to say that something is more difficult because you know more, but honestly, it is."

Lee Je-hoon then said "I also lose money. However, the amount of investment is not large. Each person invests in their own way in various ways, and when I put money into an area for something, I don't have a lot of potions. In the past, if we only looked at Korea, now we are approaching overseas by watching the economic situation turn around. In the past, I thought it was stable to invest only in developed countries, but these days, it is said that investing with interest in developing countries may be good in the long run, so I pay attention to it. The irony is that when I think about whether there is an end for me until I die, I think that human greed and desire have no end. Then this is 'When is it over. That's when I quit my job. When I want to do this with my life plan after retirement, I think, 'Are you going to finish writing this in terms of assets?' but usually I don't. I want assets to continue to rise, but I also take risks, so I think it's a life where 'up and down' coexist," he said with a smile.

In addition to investing, Lee Je-hoon is also famous as an actor who is faithful to his main job as an actor. In addition to his numerous works so far, he is in the midst of filming 'Signal 2' and 'Model Taxi 3' without a day off this year. Lee Je-hoon "I feel sorry for the production companies when it comes to this situation on a schedule basis. There is also a position in coordinating the schedule for one work, but in the position of having to do it at the same time, the schedule of both sides was coordinated, and 'I' was put down for now. Just 'Use me. Do as you please. I don't have my life this year. It's a mind that 'I'll go as I move' In a way, you say, "'When do you rest, when do you find your personal happiness?' but you gave up this year. I want to farm that part well through my work. I'm grateful and happy to be able to act again through the season system like this, and I'm just hoping to finish well in good health."

Lee Je-hoon "I feel like I've transcended once the burnout came. While running, it is a situation in which the mind and body dominate and constantly run over the limit in a situation where it has to collapse and spread as a `second wind.' When it comes time to rest after the work is over, I think I'll think about the next thing"In the past, when filming a drama, I couldn't stay up all night and couldn't go home and filmed for three to four days in a row, I thought, "This is really not it, this is very painful." I wondered if it was right to act like this, but these days, those processes are of course difficult, but I also think I'm very grateful. I can't believe I can act like this, I want to do better. "I think I feel more these days that I truly love, care, and love myself as I see myself changing, because I have a lot of worries about how I can do what I lack a little more than complaints and complaints."

Lee Je-hoon is also an actor who can't do anything for the work that " is learning. You can also hear from actors who have seen or participated in the entire work as a result. I think the fact that you are an actor who sincerely does things like how you want to be used rather than how you show yourself was conveyed to the creators. 'This friend is really cost-effective, but it's also efficient. Isn't it possible to use it from a business perspective?' he said with a smile.




Lee Je-hoon then said "I want to win-win without trying too hard. 'I'm going to retire after this, so I'm going to shoot Max and finish itHe's an actor who doesn't think ' at all and wants to do it until he dies. So I think I want to be a valuable person, not a person who is evaluated by price. As an actor, I want to continue to value myself and shine, so I want to do that."

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).
