[Interview] Lee Je Hoon for 𝘔𝘌𝘕 𝘕𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦 April issue — English translation
Translation by @forleejehoon.
Please do not repost/share full or in parts without credits.
Lee Je Hoon is an actor that shines. There's plenty of inner glow coming from him – instead he wishes to become a light that's impossible to replace.
Taxi Driver 2's popularity is respectable. Apparently each episode garners over 10% of watch ratings.
I'm grateful just for the fact that season 2 was able to come out, as soon as the broadcasting started it got good reactions so I didn't know what to do with myself. It felt like being greatly compensated for the many hours I've spent filming.
It was intense since the shot of Kim Do Ki's back at the very beginning.
The very first line in the script director wrote was "Do Ki working out in a prison cell". One has to devote themselves to the scene, of course. (laughs) While thinking 'it's my last time showing my skin' I prepared for it diligently. Today at the promotion shootings, I'm flashing the little that remains of my abs. (laughs)
Kim Do Ki is a character that keeps changing his personas to punish the villains. You had to embody all these different characters in one project and although it's something to boast about as an actor, wasn't it difficult?
I filmed everything very happily while enjoying all of it. The difference between the personas is big so I worried a lot about what it's like for the viewers to watch it on screen. I thought a lot about how I should make it feel more continuous, too. Despite the times when I didn't feel content with my acting, I gained confidence since luckily everyone is enjoying watching it. For season 2 I filmed with the mindset “let’s play even harder”.
In the documentary Another Record: Lee Je Hoon you revealed to actor Lee Dong Hwi about your wish to do comedic acting. This time you happened to fulfill it to your heart's content.
In my case, I have no talent of making people around me laugh. Because of that, me doing comedic acting always felt far-fetched. In this project I formed a nice ensemble with the rest of the cast as well as the script was interesting and funny.
So this was a new challenge for you?
To be honest, I'm not an actor who's skilled in adlibs. If in the past I was someone who acted out the script exactly as it was written, now I have let my abilities come to surface and let them be seen. If I see some part in the dialogue or the script that could be filled, I express my ideas, so I play [characters] while contributing to the script.
As an actor you must've changed quite a bit?
Honestly there were times when even the act of familiarizing myself with the dialogue and simply acting felt like it was too much. Now as a person who's a narrator of the story, I feel the responsibility to lead projects. Once again it's the battle with time for filming sites. "Ah, why didn't I do this then", "why did I miss this" – I don't want any of such worries to remain so I have to distribute everything within the given time.
I could feel this passion of yours fully at the promotion shoot today, too. Felt like watching some sort of silent drama.
Promotion shoots aren't that different from when I'm acting. There aren't many chances to show myself equipped with cool and flashy jewelry. Now that I've left a memory of this new image of myself, I feel like I’ll be able to pull it off it in a future project. Through such collected experiences, I feel like I muster up courage to take on new challenges.
In the 4th episode a country boy Lee Je Hoon ordering around in Chungcheon satoori surprised the viewers with freshness, too.
It's the same for me. For Chungcheon people it'll look lame for sure. Despite that people have watched my trying self with affection. Through this opportunity both as an actor and as Lee Je Hoon I've acquired another thing I can do. If I happen to visit Chungcheon I shall try using it. (laughs)
I believe Kim Do Ki could become a character of a lifetime.
It can happen. It's truly fascinating to have been able to show so many varied personas in one piece of work. Although while I was acting I had thoughts like "other actors could pull off this role way better", but as long as it's Taxi Driver's Kim Do Ki – I think I can do it the best. Other actors substituting me wouldn't work. Of course there are better actors. But as much as it's hard to imagine [other actors playing as Kim Do Ki], Kim Do Ki is a character that I love and cherish.
Out of the entire bouquet of Kim Do Ki personas, who would be the closest to ordinary Lee Je Hoon?
To be honest, there isn't a single one that's similar to me. (laughs) Someone who's intelligent, someone who's humorous – both of these sides can be seen in little parts in me but even that would be an exaggeration.
To the viewers it feels cathartic to watch how the villains are punished. Was there any moment that felt the most satisfying for you personally?
Rather than action scenes, I think I felt the satisfaction when relaying a deep message.
What kind of message could that be?
Although I can't reveal any spoilers from the second half of the show, the most I can say is that in English you can express it as “memory” or “remember”. In season 2 these are the keywords that keep reappearing. "Do remember" is always what it ends with. In each episode it’s the crimes that are handled and the absurd reality of them. So such a message is the foundation of Taxi Driver.
Looking at your filmography including Taxi Driver, there are quite many works that are box office successes or are award-winning. Should I say that you have good luck with projects, or do you have a good eye when choosing them?
I do have my personal standards when choosing a project to work on. I want to do such projects that stay in viewers' hearts and minds for a long time. Not the ones that have no retainment value. It's good if fun is all that the experience of watching a movie gives, however there's nothing I'd need anymore in life if I can only be someone that leaves an effect on people's lives. Although I myself am an actor, when it comes to movies I have this same preference. Because I too get influenced by the works I watch.
Ahead of you there's the movie Escape that you'll star in together with actor Koo Kyo Hwan. In the 42nd Blue Dragon Awards you revealed that you'd "like to act with Koo Kyo Hwan once" and now it's a reality. Did your comment make any influence in the casting?
I was curious myself so I asked the production team. They said it did have an influence. I'm a lucky fan. (laughs)
Now that you have actually worked with him, how was it?
Although the movie is already a masterpiece, since I'm acting together with Koo Kyo Hwan it will shine even brighter. Once again I realized how an actor is an important part of a movie. Although we didn't talk too much, I have a partner with whom I can exchange feelings and the dialogue. Even though I haven't met Koo Kyo Hwan in private settings, the way we matched together felt like smooth sailing.
Let's talk about the days when you dreamt of being an actor. You dropped out of university and at 25 years old started attending Korea National University of Arts. Even before that, you were in the theater scene but then entered a university again – was there any particular reason that made you decide like that?
I decided I wanted to act and hung around the Daehakro [Arts Theatre] when I was 21-22 years old, somewhere around that time. I’ve experienced acting for only about 1-2 years and believed I could make a decision. Whether I really have the talent and interest to pursue such a road. But as time went on, I still couldn’t find answers to both of those questions. I didn’t give up and in order to fulfill my dream completely I thought I needed some kind of opportunity to reach the finish line.
But the people you’ve worked with are very sure [about your talent]. Director Yoon Sung Hyun, while recalling the filming for Bleak Night, has observed that you’re a born actor, as well as actor Park Jeong Min has said that you’re an actor who has great inner charge of pathos-energy. You’ve been getting such comments since the rookie days, doesn’t that make you a natural?
I’m not too sure about this. When someone discovers me, something inside of me seems to bring out some things in them – I can imagine hearing comments like that. Directors and writers cast me so it’s possible that the director adds more focus onto me. My presence can come out when lighting directors shine their light onto me. No matter how well I can act or how confident I am, it’s the fact that such people exist or else I couldn’t shine as an actor.
It’s been around 17 years since you’ve debuted in a short film Litmus of Truth. Maybe it’s because I didn’t see current you being that different from Architecture 101’s Seung Min but I didn’t really think you’ve had such work experience.
Wow, it’s been this many years. Come to think of it, I’ve set up a production company with the people I’ve worked with on Litmus of Truth. (laughs)
It’s been 2 years since that, right? Since you’ve set up a production company named “Hard Cut” together with director Yang Gyeong Mo and producer Kim Yu Gyeong.
That’s right. If there comes a time when, willingly or not, I wouldn’t be able to act, I’ve tried thinking about what kind of job I could do. Will I be able to do another job, do I want more burden. But I didn’t have much of a choice. Even if I couldn’t act, I still want to be someone that’s present in the filming site. I could be someone that generates ideas, or I could be a maknae that holds the light reflector. That’s why I’ve created “Hard Cut”, there are many things I’m learning about myself. How much I actually love movies or what kind of acting I should show from now onwards. The things I couldn’t see before are now right before my eyes. When it comes to making movies, it doesn’t matter from which position or what I do – I have the will for anything.
I’m wondering about what kind of concerns does an actor of 17 years have.
Instead of having concerns I believe I should be putting much of continuous efforts. There are many things that I still don’t know and things that I still lack in, however I have great desire to make good movies. Suddenly I thought to myself what would I answer to this question if 10 years from now I’m asked a similar one – in the future I’d like my answer to be the same as today. I wish to be an actor that feels such thirst [to make great movies] persistently.
Are there any moments that felt monumental?
When it’s a national holiday? (laughs) When it’s a holiday, they broadcast special selection movies. Whenever a movie I worked on is chosen to be shown, I’m very thankful. There are movies that are box office hits, or that have a good message behind them, whatever the reason – all of them are works containing great meaning.
What adjective would you like there to be in front of your name?
An actor that’s impossible to replace. Isn’t that truly the greatest praise.
In brackets I’ve personally added more context to help understand the meaning more clearly.

RBW "(Hate) Comment crimes, no room for leniency no matter what" "RBW disclosure of legal action being taken towards hateful comments."
(200830 RBW Notice) RBW have confirmed that they have been filling charges against malicious comments towards Mamamoo and that the people that were involved have been identified on 17th July. They are under investigations now, the accused asked for leniency, on 19th August, RBW have submitted a statement to the prosecutor office to reject it and asked for a more severe punishment towards them. Due to the damage that was already done by them.
RBW also mentioned that they are aware of our concerns towards malicious comments that were targeted towards Mamamoo. They apologised for not being able to convey the message in regards to the investigation process back then.
There have been cases where the said artist have to be directly involved in the investigation process for the hateful comments that were targeted towards them. So the company have to be more careful and precise with that process.
In cases where the company needs help from fans who have worked hard to protect the artist, they will also do their very best in working alongside with fans actively as well. RBW have also mentioned that they are currently monitoring those comments as well
RBW is looking into all the PDF files with evidences of hateful comments that fans sent them. They mentioned that those are a great help for them to identify the ppl involved. RBW ask for fans to keep all the evidences coming in the future as well.
RBW will do their best to update fans on the investigation progress as well.

[Interview] Lee Je-hoon speculating on the course of Taxi Driver season 3
Original title: "Lee Je-hoon who dreams of being an actor forever"
Jehoon: "If I appeared in season 3, I hope we continue to stick to a similar format. I also think it'd be great if we made the drama that is Taxi Driver more dynamic by simultaneously adding even more color to the characters."
"Especially in the end where Kim So-yeon makes a special appearance – wasn't she the first ever taxi driver? Then if Kim Do-ki was approximately the 17th driver, couldn't the rest of 16 drivers that slipped by appear in the series, too. I'm imagining various scenarios. When I age more, I also want to try Mr. Jang's (Kim Eui-sung) role."
#kim do ki is a 17th taxi driver??????#how long since mr jang has been running his business ???????#up:Interview#p:TaxiDriver2#t:Translation#lee je hoon#kim do ki#sbs taxi driver 2#taxi driver 2#taxi driver season 3#이제훈#모범택시2

[FANCAFE] 201113 Happy Olivia Hye Day
“Hello, Orbit. 🍉 Today is the third birthday I will be spending with Orbits. I’m happy because it feels like the number of Orbits who celebrate my birthday grow every year, and it’s like a present.
“This year is slowly coming to a close, so how was 2020 for Orbits? As the end of the year approaches, I find myself thinking back on all the things that happened and all the feelings I felt this year. Since I somehow got through the entire year, I want to pat myself on the back for working hard. Our Orbits also worked so hard this year!
“Also, I would really like to see Orbits’ faces next year. Orbits can see our faces but we can’t see Orbits faces. 😕 I might forget all of your faces.
“In addition, I think a lot of Orbits are going to leave birthday messages for me in various places today, so I will spend the entire day happily reading them. I’m going to read all of your messages. The letters that Orbits write are so funny; not only do you write words that contain love, but you also write about ordinary, everyday stuff~ Whenever I see letters about how you lost something or how you felt about your exam, it becomes a source of healing because it really feels like I’m close to you and like I’m just listening to my friend talk.
“Just like Orbits always tell us, please don’t get sick, make sure you can eat, and I will cheer on whatever Orbits do. Even to me, Orbits are the collest and best people~~~ 🐺”
