The 38-year-old Korean star Lee Junki recently appeared on the hot search because of his “state is too good”, but in addition to fans who praise his looks, there are netizens who hold different opinions.
Some people even posted screenshots of Lee Jun-ki in the new drama "The Flower of Evil", pointing out that there were many wrinkles around his eyes, which made Lee Jun-ki's situation a bit awkward.
But in fact, in addition to appearance, Lee Jun Ki's acting skills are also remarkable, but the focus of public attention has gone off the track, which is precisely the most helpless thing for actors.
38-year-old Lee Jun-ki has been on the hot search because of his "good condition"
This is not the first time Lee Jun-ki has been on the hot search recently. Due to the popular broadcast of "The Flower of Evil", Lee Jun-ki seems to have become a frequent visitor to the hot search.
It's just that this time Li Zhungene made a hot search for related topics such as status, which will inevitably make the public pay more attention to his appearance. In addition to the voice of praise, many netizens felt a little sorrowful after seeing Lee Jun Ki's recent photos.
When he first debuted, Lee Jun Ki seemed to lose a lot of collagen while his facial lines became tougher, which made him look very skinny.
In addition, when Lee Jun-ki makes some exaggerated expressions, the wrinkles around his eyes will also reveal his age to a certain extent.
Although the years have left as few marks on Lee Jun-ki's face as possible, he is not completely old.
There are even more extreme netizens who think that Lee Jun-ki’s face is "sullen", and the photo used by this netizen to prove is a still of "The Flower of Evil". In this photo, Lee Jun-ki's eye corner Crow's feet even appeared.
Judging from the content of the stills, it is not that Li Jun’s basic person has a "depressed face", but that the character he played was in a relatively decadent state at the moment.
So from the perspective of character creation, Lee Jun Ki's performance can be said to be very accurate, and the descriptions of netizens are also very appropriate.
But Lee Jun-ki in life is actually not like that. He himself is quite sunny and positive. It can only be said that his acting is too good to be able to distinguish between reality or fiction.
has to say that Li Zhungene's hot search for good health has caused him a lot of controversy. He could have spoken on his strength, but some netizens have resisted.
Is appearance more important than acting?
Actually, it is not difficult to see from the fact that Lee Jungene has been on the hot search for the status, the public still cares about the appearance of actors.
But in fact, Lee Jun Ki's acting skills are more prominent than his appearance, but after he was on the hot search, many people ignored this.
is also very helpless in this situation, and good actors seem to be unable to escape the fate of taking their appearance as a yardstick.
is not always true. After all, talented actors such as Qin Hao have also made successful appearances recently.
From this point of view, the public is still quite concerned about the acting skills of actors, but for actors such as Lee Jun Ki who have outstanding acting skills and looks, it seems that it is difficult for netizens to weigh their concerns.
It can also be said that actors with good looks are also under pressure when they have inherent advantages.
It is not difficult to understand why the public is so upset about Lee Jun Ki's state.
But after Lee Jun-ki was on the hot search, he was questioned about his poor state. It may not be a bad thing for him. At least when the appearance is no longer the only topic of Lee Jun-ki’s outing, the focus of netizens’ attention will return to The drama and acting itself.
set off again, can Lee Jun-ki reach the top again?
Judging from the themes of Lee Jun Ki's recent new dramas and the role he plays, it seems that Lee Jun Ki intentionally wants to jump out of his comfort zone and wants to break the public's inherent perception of him.
And with the increase of age, the roles that Lee Jun-ki has interpreted in recent years are not only superior in appearance, but the inner life of these rolesThe world began to become extremely rich.
Take the role of Du Xian in "The Flower of Evil" as an example. Although this character has emotional cognitive impairment and will return to his cold and cold qualities when there is no one, this character is trying hard to integrate into the life of a normal person.
In this process, the changes in the role and the efforts made by the role require precise interpretation by actors. Lee Jun Ki's performance eventually won everyone's approval.
, in particular, there are many "plays in play" scenes in the play, which are a great test of the actors' acting skills.
It can be said that Lee Jun Ki's appearance and acting skills are his advantages, and his original popularity is also very high, which also helped him maintain his position as a first-line actor in the Korean entertainment circle.
However, in recent years, with the rise of younger generations such as , Lee Minho, and , and the popularity of actors of the same age as Hyun Bin, Lee Dong Wook, Lee Jun Ki has not so many resources to choose from.
Therefore, "The Flower of Evil" can be said to be a step for Lee Jun Ki to return to the top. If he goes further, he may make his career even further, and if he takes a step back, it may be difficult for him to get a similar good opportunity for a long time.
From the perspective of ratings and discussion, "Flower of Evil" seems to be only one step away from being released.
However, the filming of this drama must be suspended due to the epidemic and other reasons. There will be a question mark when it can be launched again, so this also means that Lee Jun-ki may lose the opportunity to win the pursuit.
Of course, if the "Flower of Evil" crew can resume shooting as soon as possible, or if the show's popularity remains unabated during the episode's suspension, it is not impossible for Lee Jun Ki to usher in his career peak again.
The answer to this question can only be proved by time, and we can wait and see.
