Oct 03, 2021

In a recent interview and pictorial for Arena Homme Plus magazine, Lee Jong Suk dished on his many upcoming projects!

After being discharged from the military earlier this year, Lee Jong Suk is already booked and busy: the actor will be starring opposite Girls’ Generation‘s YoonA in the upcoming tvN drama “Big Mouth” (literal title), and he will also be starring alongside ASTRO‘s Cha Eun Woo and Kim Rae Won in the new action film “Decibel” (literal title).

In addition to these high-profile projects, Lee Jong Suk will also be making a special appearance in the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2018 movie “The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion.” In his post-shoot interview, the actor remarked, “My role in ‘The Witch 2’ is fun because it’s a villain-esque character who’s not a villain.”

As for why he chose to take on his role in “Decibel,” Lee Jong Suk recalled, “For ‘Decibel,’ when I read the screenplay, it turned out to be such a page-turner. I ended up appearing in the film because I thought the role was really worth the challenge.”

Although Lee Jong Suk confessed to feeling worried about taking on a new kind of character in his upcoming drama “Big Mouth,” he also shared that he welcomed the challenge.

“It’s a character who’s on the older side,” he explained, “and he’s also married in the story. I felt like if I took on the role, it would be a new challenge for me image-wise, so I would end up feeling stressed and pressured by the idea that I had to do a good job—but I also thought that it would be worth it.”

He added, “I think it’ll be fun, and I felt like it was very new for me.”
