[V Report Plus] Lee Byung-hun opens up about ‘Misconduct’

(Naver V)

Veteran actor Lee Byung-hun opened up about up-coming Hollywood movie “Misconduct” in an interview with V movie.

Lee referred to his role in the film as a “change” in the American movie industry, due to the fact that the characters he played did not require an Asian actor. In both “Terminator Genisys” and “G.I. Joe: RED 2,” Lee was able to take on the role regardless of his ethnicity.

He also commented on his experience having dinner with the cast of the “Misconduct” just before the filming started. 

“The actors were talking about their experiences while filming “The Godfather” and “Scarface.” I couldn’t believe that I was right there while it happened. It felt like a dream,” he added.

Before ending the interview, he spent a few minutes introducing the movie.

“I am about to present to you a movie filled with amazing actors and their flawless acting skills. I hope the movie will be loved by many.”

Lee Byung Hun hopes that Oscar will accommodate all races

At the Première of the "Inside Men" in Hong Kong, Lee Byung Hun spoke about Asians being made fun of at  the Oscar presentation ceremony. As one of the presenters, he said that United States itself has multi races, and should be able to accept actors of different races. "It would be best if everybody would accept each other."  He said he was not aware that Taiwan's Film Director Ang Lee and others protested to the Oscars regarding this matter.

At the Oscar presentation ceremony last month, Chris Rock, the MC made fun of Asian children and attracted huge criticism. 25 Asian members of the American Academy of the Performing Arts jointly sent a letter of protest  to the expressing displeasure. They included Ang Lee and actress Michelle Yeoh. The Oscar responded on March 15 and apologized.

Not sure the details of the clip but clearly about 'Misconduct' The movie opens tomorrow (3/30) in Korea. Might be wrong but doesn't seem like there's a VIP premiere/press screening as LBH is (still?) in Australia.

Thank you @rubie for sharing  all the good news.   I am absolutely thrilled that Lee Byung Hun was awarded Best Actor by Asian Film Awards.  My belated congratulations!   I saw "Inside Men" on the plane.   He acted very well in an accent that I have heard him used for the first time.  He is such a good actor and added humorous scenes to a rather serious movie.  Looking forward to watching this movie again on the wide screen with other LBH Hong Kong fans next week.

Lee Byung Hun's wife talks about her marriage scandal for the first time
In an era where celebrity divorces are all but surprising, it's nice to see the Korean star's loyalty and strength in her relationship

by Gwendolyn Ng for The Straits Times l Her World Plus

Image: Instagram

In the three years South Korean actress Lee Min Jung has been married to A-list actor husband Lee Byung Hun, their union has produced a one-year-old son, but it has also been hit by a blackmail scandal.

Two female entertainers - a model and a member of a now- defunct pop group - were charged last year with threatening to upload a video in which the actor made lewd remarks to them.

Lee Min Jung has kept mum about the controversy, but she alludes to it when sharing her secret to maintaining a loving marriage.

In an e-mail interview with The Straits Times, the 34-year-old says: "Every relationship has problems but you don't throw it away when it's not working. You fix it, just like how everyone used to fix their telephones and television sets. These days, people just throw them away and buy new ones."

She was promoting her new drama, Please Come Back, Mister. The fantasy comedy, which also stars singer-actor Rain, is about deceased souls inhabiting the bodies of other people to fulfil their unfinished business. It is airing in Singapore on Channel One.

Lee's marriage seems to be back on track. Talking about the joys of being a first-time parent, she says: "It's life-changing - our lifestyle, the places we dine at, the time we go to bed. People start talking to you about your child more than the beauty products you are using.

"I've always wanted to be fully ready to be a mum, but I realised no matter how much preparation you make, you will never be fully ready. I love it so far, it's beautiful to wake up to see my son. I don't remember the days when my life was without him."

She adds that her husband, who had starred in Hollywood action flicks Red 2 (2013) and G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra and its sequel (2009, 2013), helped out with the diaper- changing when she was busy shooting Please Come Back, Mister, her first drama after becoming a mother.

Another sign that their marriage has not suffered from the scandal came earlier this month, when Lee Byung Hun, 44, thanked his wife and son for "all the love and support through good times and bad" in his acceptance speech at the Asian Film Awards for Best Actor Award.

She admits that as a working mother, it is hard to be away from her son.

"Work-life balance is a goal that nobody really achieves. You can never stop thinking about something if it matters to you. I think of my son even when I am at work," she says.

When it comes to parenting, she says she is likely to be the bad cop. "We haven't talked this through yet, but I think I'll be the strict mum, although daddy looks fiercer. I'll answer you again when we get there."

Please Come Back, Mister airs on One (Singtel TV Channels 513 and 604, and StarHub TV Channels 124, 820 and 823) on Thursday and Friday.
