Actor Lee Byung-hun frankly shared his thoughts on activities abroad.
Lee Byung-hun posed as the cover model for the January issue of Arena Homme Plus.
In this cover photo spread, Lee Byung-hun created a story through his mere presence in a space-time imbued with a mysterious atmosphere. He etched a range of emotions into the photos — the helplessness of standing before vast nature, the anxiety as if being chased, and yet the boldness that he will prevail.
In the subsequent interview, he shared his feelings about his consecutive activities abroad. Lee Byung-hun said, "After 'Squid Game Season' for one to two years, the projects I joined in between like 'K-pop Demon Hunters', and now 'No Other Choice,' it's surprising to me that the whole world sends so much interest and support that it can be called a phenomenon. I think a major change was that Korean content had been gradually loved by people around the world over a long time, and with the emergence of streaming services, Korean-language content gained the opportunity to be seen on equal footing with Hollywood works."
He also spoke about the driving force behind his long-term achievements as an actor. He said, "It's the work of newly discovering human emotions; the curiosity about whether there can be stories even newer than this grows. When an actor's life ends, what remains is not awards but the work. I have a curiosity and yearning about whether there are deeper and more subtle human emotions I have not yet shown. I do have the desire to make many works that people want to see a lot."
