두 명의 이준호, 서로 다른 무대에서 써 내려가는 치열한 성장 서사 > K-wave Trends

Singer and actor Lee Jun-ho is preparing for his second leap forward with a big change, a recent change in agency. He left JYP, where he had worked for 17 years, and settled in his new home, 'O3 Collective'. He accepts this not as a simple change in environment, but as a process of learning 'new responsibility'. He confesses that performing non-stop acting activities and performing on a spectacular stage as a singer is not tiring, but rather a powerful driving force that motivates him. He recently solidified his position as an actor and an artist by winning two awards at ‘ASEA 2026’, and once again imprinted the public with the modifier ‘pictorial craftsman’ with the deep eyes and attitude he showed at the photo shoot. His attitude of not being complacent and constantly challenging himself shows the side of a true professional who does not lose the attitude of learning even when he is at the top.

As an actor, Lee Jun-ho announced another unprecedented transformation through the Netflix series ‘Viking’. Despite having the same professional background as the chaebol character shown in his previous work ‘King the Land’, he is continuing to think hard to create a completely different and determined character in this work. To portray the character of ‘Han Ji-yeol’, a cool-headed strategist, he went so far as to change his appearance by losing weight to create a dry and cold image. In particular, it is said that they are stimulated by the overwhelming concentration and energy of senior actor Ju Ji-hoon, who works together on set, and are creating a perfect harmony even though it is only the beginning of filming. This is a glimpse into his tenacious acting philosophy of always showing a new face to the audience by varying the minor details and inner density of the same conglomerate character.

On stage, Lee Jun-ho returned to the Tokyo Dome stage for the first time in 10 years last May, completing an emotional story as a member of 2PM. Faced with 85,000 audiences after 2 years and 7 months, he recalled that he felt the hearts of the fans who had waited for him for a long time and that every moment was precious. He is not simply dwelling on past glory, but is accelerating preparations to keep his promise to his fans by sweating once again for the upcoming Korean concert in August. His energy to maintain the highest level of performance in both music and acting comes not from simple natural talent, but from a mindset of appreciating the opportunities given to him at every moment. This can be said to be the clearest evidence proving why the public praises him as a ‘reliable actor’ and an ‘irreplaceable artist’.

Meanwhile, at Chogye High School, a small specialized high school in Hapcheon, Gyeongsangnam-do, the heart-warming news of Lee Jun-ho's acceptance into the school energized the local community. The fact that a small school with about 70 students passed the German BMW company's 'Ausbildung' program for the first time since its opening is a miraculous example of overcoming the poor educational infrastructure through individual sincerity and systematic support from the school. Despite his difficult family circumstances, Lee's efforts to hone his car painting skills by giving up his weekends gave him skills that could compete with students from famous meister high schools in the metropolitan area. His success goes beyond simply finding a job, and sends a powerful message of hope that 'earnestness eventually opens the way' to many young people who are trapped by environmental limitations and are trying to give up on their dreams. It has been proven in reality that when the dedicated guidance of teachers and the passion of students create synergy, even small local cities can produce global talent.
