'You Quiz on the Block' singer and actor Lee Jun recently drew attention as a well-liked celebrity and opened up about an incident last year that drew criticism.
On the 27th episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'You Quiz'), Lee Jun, who danced Yena's 'Catch Catch' at the baseball stadium more vigorously and powerfully than anyone, appeared. Yu Jae-seok said, "Even if I try not to watch, Lee Jun shows up in my algorithm," and Lee Jun said, "I felt strange when I got the call. Lee Jun-ho or Yim Siwan appear as actors, but I appeared as a cheerleader," expressing that he was happy to appear.
He appeared on a web variety show that lets participants experience jobs and experienced cheerleading. Lee Jun recalled, "We were given only two days because of the filming. I didn't want to dance by glancing at it. I memorized 40 songs in two days. I couldn't memorize them, and I wondered why my head wouldn't remember them; I cried so much," recalling that time. He didn't just memorize choreography; he also had to memorize songs to match the players' entrance songs in between. At that time, Lee Jun wore a sleeveless top and jeans and danced Yena's 'Catch Catch,' and the video caused a huge sensation.
Yu Jae-seok said, "It's trendy to imitate Yena's 'Catch Catch' and to imitate that Lee Jun who imitates it." Lee Jun said cautiously, "I copied it too, and I'm really sorry even though it's not my song," and, "I heard Yena say thank you, but I worried it might be rude," he said carefully.
A year ago, Lee Jun's question on a web variety show asking, "Do you get 10 million won a month?" after experiencing a part-time job that was too hard became a small controversy. Lee Jun said, "Actually, I asked because they were working so hard part-time and shouldn't they be getting 10 million won a month, but DinDin said, 'You have no concept of money,'" he said.
Lee Jun said, "The PD thought it could be too risky and wanted to edit it out. But I said it was fine. Then there was an aftershock," and said, "I couldn't take it back, and I really regretted it. I regretted it for a whole year," expressing his remorse. He added self-deprecatingly, "I worked hard on the cheerleading this time, but comments like 'Are you only now recognizing the value of money?' came out," acknowledging his frankness while making self-mocking jokes.
Before coming to this position, he, who initially walked the path of dance, practiced his dance skills desperately despite his family's difficult circumstances. After debuting as part of the group 'M Black,' he switched to acting. Lee Jun said, "I performed while my body was getting injured," and said, "Even in scenes where I was out of breath, I really ran from 100 meters behind," revealing that he is still the type who "acts recklessly."
Then Lee Jun showed challenges to popular girl group songs such as ILLIT and Yena without leaving any out. However, Lee Jun said, "After 'Catch Catch' a lot of idol agencies contacted me. I got many challenge proposals. I also had schedules, so I couldn't go to all the agencies," explaining why he couldn't do the challenges often.
