Forget the Viral Green Mothers' Dance

Lee Je-hoon, who appeared on stage that day, received applause for flawlessly executing a high-intensity dance. He broke free from the stereotypical mold as an actor and enjoyed freedom. In particular, he revealed a powerful and sexy charm in addition to his usual soft and gentle image.

When he stretched both arms into the air, cheers erupted from the audience. Earlier, he had revealed through his personal channel vlog (daily filming) that he was busy practicing the dance to be performed at the fan meeting. Fans expected him to showcase the latest trendy dance, but it was not the case.

Taeyang's 'Syung!' is a song featuring dynamic choreography set to a fast tempo. His choice of song showed his determination to truly impress.

Lee Je-hoon reportedly visited the practice room for about a month to learn the choreography. He prepared the stage for the fan meeting by learning 'Syung' from YGX dancers Kwon Young-deuk and Youngdon. Although he appeared noticeably slimmer due to intense practice, he responded to fans' love with an energetic performance. It was a stage that made fans look forward to the next fan meeting even more.

He also shared updates on his recent activities. Lee Je-hoon recently finished filming the movie 'Moral Hazard' (working title). He said, "We even finished the poster shoot." He added, "I wanted to act with senior actor Yoo Hae-jin, and I was happy to work together." He continued, "Thanks to Yoo Hae-jin, the atmosphere on set was great. The shoot ended with laughter because he made it fun. That’s why I’m even more excited about the movie."

He also revealed plans to shoot MBC's new drama 'Chief Inspector 1963' (working title), a remake of the popular drama 'Chief Inspector' (1971?1989) starring actor Choi Bul-am. Expectations are high as Lee Je-hoon takes over the baton from Choi Bul-am and stars as the lead inspector.

He said, "Filming is scheduled to start in about two weeks." He added, "I will show a new side of myself," and expressed hope, "I expect to greet viewers on their screens early next year."

Lee Je-hoon also shared his acting philosophy. He said, "I’m always nervous on set. Even during short breaks, I think about how to shoot the scenes. I tend to stay focused continuously. I maintain a state where I can act immediately whenever I hear 'Ready, action.'"

He added, "When I’m not filming, I often think as the character even at home. Filming time is not eternal. Since the time living as the character is limited, I fully immerse myself in the character."

That day, Lee Je-hoon sang Jannabi’s 'Shy' and George’s 'I Like You.' Though somewhat rough, his heartfelt singing drew enthusiastic responses.

He filled the 120 minutes with sincerity toward his fans. After the performance, Lee Je-hoon made eye contact and personally saw off fans leaving the theater at the exit. This is a fan service he keeps every year at his fan meetings.
