Lee Sun-gyun “I gave ‘Dream’ IU a glass of foamy beer”

Actor Lee Sun-kyun mentioned IU, who he worked with in the drama 'My Mister'.

On the morning of the 12th, Lee Sun-gyun told various stories about the upcoming movie 'Killing Romance' (directed by Lee Won-seok) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

'Killing Romance' is about top star Yeorae (played by Lee Ha-nui), who suddenly announces her retirement after falling in love with island tycoon Jonathan (played by Lee Seon-gyun), and meets Beom-woo (played by Gong Myeong), a student from the 3rd fan club, and plots an extraordinary comeback plan. It's a story.

In the play, Lee Sun-kyun plays Jonathan Na. Jonathan I is an icon of madness and obsession who falls in love with Tathagata after a fateful meeting on Kuala Island.

Lee Sun-kyun presents his most unconventional performance since his debut through 'Killing Romance'. He transformed into JOHN NA, an icon of madness and obsession full of self-love, and wore everything from hairstyle to fake mustache and colorful patterned training clothes.

On this day, Lee Seon-gyun talked about IU, following coach Jang Hang-jun, who suddenly became his rival. He competes with 'Dream', which features IU, who co-starred in 'My Mister'. Lee Sun-kyun said, "I like director Lee Byung-hun's movies. He invited me to the VIP screening of 'Dream' this time, so I'm going to go. I'm going to watch it," he said, adding, "I'll go to the after-party and give him a glass of foamy beer."

Recently, the meme of Lee Sun-gyun pouring beer that appeared in 'My Mister' is being re-evaluated. In response to this, Lee Seon-gyun made people burst into laughter by saying, "They said it was right to pour it that way. There was a can of beer with foam coming out of it, and I really wanted to film an advertisement for that. Why don't you come to Korea?"

Director Lee Won-seok cast Lee Sun-kyun with the desire to break his image from 'My Mister'. Seon-gyun Lee said, "He recently watched 'My Mister'. He said he was trying to concentrate on watching it, but an advertisement for gum medicine kept coming up. He saw 'My Mister' and posted it on social media. So I asked what kind of backdoor he was doing. To 'JONN NA' “I told them to focus,” he said.

Seon-kyun Lee said, "I was the only one to trust. Isn't Hani supposed to take responsibility? Isn't Jonathan a character who can do anything? This time, I only thought about the character. It was really fun. I became bolder. If you look at it with an open mind, I think you'll fall in love with it." revealed.

He also mentioned ‘Tathagataism’, sung by Lee Ha-nui herself in ‘Killing Romance’. Seon-kyun Lee said, "It felt like a one-on-one fight. Monica did the choreography. When she came out, she and Hani said, 'We didn't do anything wrong, right?' We didn't have to dance flashy. I just did my own thing. “I focused on doing what I felt,” he explained. Lee Sun-gyun also participated in the music video for ‘Tathagataism’. He said, "Hani planned it. The quality was higher than I expected. I wonder if I should make 'Happiness' too."

Meanwhile, 'Killing Romance' starring Lee Sun-kyun will be released on the 14th.
