Lee Joon: "I Mistakenly Thought I Was There 5 Years Ago In Hollywood"

Actor and singer from the idol group MBLAQ Lee  Joon shared his thirst and longing for acting without reservation.

Lee Joon in a press conference for "An Actor is an Actor (English title: Rough Play)" on October 17, 2013, in Seoul CGV theater said, "When I went to Hollywood for 'Ninja Assassin' five years ago, I thought I was all set. But, after about a month, I realized I haven't even started."

Lee Joon added, "Of course I love Hollywood, but I also love Korea. I love any place where I can act. My ultimate goal is to become a person who love to act, regardless of the type."

He shared the reason for choosing "An Actor is an Actor" as how fast he could read the movie's script.

"I tend to read scenarios a lot," Lee Joon said, "whether I am in that movie or not, I sometimes go out of my ways to find some movie scripts. And I've read 'Rough Play' the fastest out of all the scripts I've read. I read it over and over again. I was appalled by the way of portraying the fluctuation of the main charater's feelings."

"Rough Play" is a movie about an actor who becomes a star from one movie but falling hard onto the ground. It garnered much attention because director Kim Ki Duk had personally written the script.

"Rough Play" is to premier on October 24, 2013.
