JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 『The Art of Negotiation』 (written by Lee Seung-young, directed by Ahn Pan-seok) is a drama about the performance of an M&A expert of a large company called the legendary negotiator and the team, and Lee Je-hoon was praised for playing 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).
Lee Je-hoon, who met Sports Chosun immediately after the end of the show, said "This work seems to be more regrettable than any other work. I have a lingering feeling that I don't want to let him go yet because I wonder if the next story should continue this Saturday and Sunday at the very 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 they will listen to the viewers and make a story.
Even the ratings have increased significantly compared to the first broadcast. The final episode more than tripled the audience to 10.3% compared to the first broadcast of 3.3'. 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, which ended up being almost three times different from the viewership at the beginning."
Lee Je-hoon played Yoon Jun-no, a negotiation expert, in 'Negotiation Techniques', and in fact, he is the representative of the agency Company On and the production company's hardcut, so 'Negotiation Techniques' is necessary. 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.

Yoon Jun-no in the play has the same person as the sample of 'Good Boss' and even has the insight to sublimate it as an advantage and lead it in a better direction despite the mistakes of his subordinates. When I asked Lee Je-hoon "What kind of boss is he?" he said "In front of me, 'It could be like a generous person, but when I'm alone, I often tear my hair out or 'What should I do?'" So, what I learned a lot from Yun Juno is that I think there is nothing I can't do if I act with expectations and heart that I will overcome this and move forward positively in the end, rather than suffering from immediate stress because I am working in a way that is solved in the end. Rather, as I go with the mindset of discussing and overcoming problems together when problems arise, crises and problems arise in each work, and I think I have a mind to deal with them more wisely. I think I've come to think recently that my growth and courage as a human being have grown a little bit.'
In addition to growing up to be a good human, this year he runs nonstop from 'Signal 2' to 'Model Taxi 3'. He says he threw himself fully into the movie this year because the movie 'Soju War' is about to be released. 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, he said, "'When do you rest, when do you find your personal happiness?' but he 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 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 also efficient. Isn't it possible to use it from a business perspective?' he said. "I want to win a win-win (in terms of appearance fees). 'I'm going to retire after this, so I'll finish it after maxing outHe'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," he said with a smile.
