Actor and singer Lee Jun-ho showed the presence of a representative Korean actor.
Lee Jun-ho received the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism award at the 8th Newsis Hallyu Expo (2026 K-EXPO) held at The Grand Lotte Seoul Crystal Ballroom in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 28th.
Lee Jun-ho said, "I am truly grateful to receive such a meaningful award. I only did the music and acting I wanted to do, but it seems I had the good fortune to align with the flow of a favorable era and gain a good opportunity to introduce K-culture to the world," and added, "I will continue to work hard to become a wonderful person who can let the power of K-content be known more widely through good works and music."
Last year Lee Jun-ho captivated domestic and international audiences with his acclaimed performances in tvN's Typhoon Family and the Netflix series Cashero, and proved solid global influence by meeting 85,000 fans at "2PM Japan 15th Anniversary Concert "THE RETURN" in TOKYO DOME."
He will continue his activities this year. Lee Jun-ho will show a different charm by transforming into the "passionate new employee" of Kian's Bizarre B&B branch No. 2 in the Netflix variety show Kian's Bizarre B&B season 2, which premieres on Sept. 22. He will also undertake another broad range of acting variations with Viking and the Embassy of Foreign Countries in Korea.
