Its about time that the school uniform be retired; its trite and boring. But actor Lee Jong Suk demonstrated that it just depends who wear it. Lee Jong Suk rose to stardom with his role in SBS drama I Can Hear Your Voice as a mind-reading a high school student. Thereafter he starred in the movies The Face Reader and No Breathing back to back, and had a schedule that was busier than anyone else. Like Us on Facebook The school uniform has become a common denominator across his works. However this time it was different. His usual excellent and luxurious image was nowhere to be seen, and instead he has made a humble transformation. Lee Jong Suk is coming back in Blood Boiling Youth (aka Hot Young Bloods) as kind of a sleezy character. Im wearing a school uniform once again. (Laughter) But dont think that means the character will be the same. Thanks to all the love I received last year, I had a wider selection of roles to choose from, but I wanted to deviate from my usual and try something new. They say mainstream but its always fleeting. More than popularity Im more interested in acting. Throughout the interview he was humble and was harsh when it came to assessing himself. Every time I complete a work my acting improves. However when I look back I can only see my shortcomings. I think to myself I need to fix this next time and try harder, but I can only see my flaws. I have weird habits, too. Even though I know I cant reshoot a scene, Ill watch the camcorder recording over and over again. I then reproach myself and try again. Lee Jong Suks new role is quite unconventional. It takes place in 1980s Chungcheongdo, and Lee Jong Suk plays the legendary Casanova who captures the hearts of many local girls. He wears bell bottoms in the movie, and despite being a model, even Lee Jong Suk looks unsophisticated and tacky. Not only that, he also comically pulls off the mambo dance, wearing nothing but tighty whities underwear. Youre asking if I wasnt embarrassed? I had to wear two tighty whities so that nothing would show through. But embarrassment lasts only a moment, and I regret not making more of a fool of myself. I was concerned that the public might feel too removed from my role, but even still I was determined and immersed into filming. Boiling Youth is a school romance that takes place in the 1980s. In my previous works there were senior actors that I can rely on to give me strength. There also were moments where I thought I shouldnt be like that. But in this project I had to carry the burden, and it was difficult. During filming and promoting, you start to feel a sense of responsibility. Lee Jong Suks beginnings were nothing easy. In the hopes of becoming an actor he worked as a model and prepared to become an idol singer. There was a period of 3 years that he spent being idle in an agency he worked very hard to join. I was able to come this far thanks to luck. The works I didnt expect much of all turned out well. I have too many shortcomings to say that I succeeded thanks to my acting. As of now there are scenarios with a wide variety of genres that come in. However I need to decide whether Im going to expand my acting spectrum or pursue what Im good at. Lee Jong Suk has overcome his no-name days and become a star. His thirst for acting is what helped him stand where he is today. We have high expectations for this actor in his upcoming works, and look forward to seeing him grow as an actor as he chooses different roles.
