2PM’s Junho And Lee Se Young Star In Heartfelt “The Red Sleeve Cuff” Main Poster

Oct 13, 2021 |  by L. Kim

 

MBC has revealed the main poster of the upcoming drama “The Red Sleeve Cuff”!

 

“The Red Sleeve Cuff” is a new traditional historical drama from MBC about the imperial court romance between a court lady who wanted to protect the life she had chosen and an emperor who put the nation first before love. Junho stars as Yi San, the direct descendant and eldest grandson of King Yeongjo (Lee Deok Hwa), who will later become King Jeongjo. Lee Se Young stars as Seong Deok Im, a court lady who wants to make her own decisions about life instead of being one of the king’s many women.

 

The new poster shows a tender yet forbidden moment between Yi San and Seong Deok Im. She’s helping the crown prince in his royal robe, which causes her to be so close to him that there’s barely any space between them. In addition, his large hand is covering her small one that is resting on his shoulder, making hearts flutter in both anticipation and fear.

 

Despite their physical closeness, there is distance in their relationship because of the obvious difference of status. Yi San’s eyes are cold and sharp, whereas Seong Deok Im’s expression is dim and sorrowful. The text between them reads, “The king loved the court lady. Did the court lady love the king?”.

 

"

The Red Sleeve Cuff” premieres on November 5 and will be available on Viki.

2PM’s Junho Can’t Resist Lee Se Young As He Traps Her In A Back Hug In “The Red Sleeve Cuff” Teaser

Oct 14, 2021 |  by L. Kim

 

Upcoming drama “The Red Sleeve Cuff” released a heart-fluttering new teaser!

 

Based on a popular novel, “The Red Sleeve Cuff” is a traditional historical drama that tells the record of an imperial court romance between a court lady who wanted to protect the life she had chosen and an emperor who put the nation first before love.

 

Junho stars as Yi San, the direct descendant and eldest grandson of the king, who will later become King Jeongjo. Lee Se Young stars as Seong Deok Im, a court lady who wants to make her own decisions about life rather than be one of the king’s many women.

 

The new teaser captures the sweet yet forbidden romance between a crown prince and a court lady. Yi San is sitting at his desk and studying his books. He seems focused at first, but he’s actually distracted by Seong Deok Im. He sighs as if he is giving into temptation and looks over at her. His voiceover says, “I went against my nature and loved you.” Seong Deok Im quickly avoids his gaze, and she narrates, “Even court ladies have their own heart and will.”

 

Then out of nowhere, Yi San appears behind her. He clasps her hand gently before embracing her from behind. His voiceover shares, “That’s why it has to be you.” It appears as if she’s rejecting him, but her eyes turn pink with emotions, leaving viewers to wonder how she really feels about the crown prince.

 

“The Red Sleeve Cuff” premieres on November 5 and will be available on Viki. Watch the full teaser below!

Flashback Article

[August 2017 | Jpn]

[Eng Trans] eclat August Issue Magazine (Junho from 2PM) (Interview)

 

There is a person, who managed to change the summer of 4 years to become very passionate. That person is popular group 2PM’s Junho. Looking at his splendor songs and dance moves cause everyone to feel touched. That warm smile and not so sweet conversation yet made him much more charming. As compared to the summer’s sun, Junho who is shining even brighter will now talk a little more about himself.

 

— Solo artist, Junho. Debut in 2008 in Korea as a 6-member group 2PM as an acrobatic group filled with lots of energy. In 2011, 2PM fulfilled the dream of debuting in Japan, Junho debut as a solo singer in 2013, with his album “Kimi no Koe” (Your Voice). While having activities as a singer, he also managed to accumulate experiences in acting. After debuting officially from the movie “Cold Eyes” in 2013, he continued on with firm steps. Participating together with Lee Byun Hun and Jeon Do Yeon in the movie “Memories of the Sword”, getting his first main lead in the movie “Twenty” in 2015, which became a big hit. At the same time, Korean drama “Memory” (2016) and “Chief Kim” which was broadcast during the beginning of the year with a high record of 17.2 viewership. Even with a villain character, his cute and filled with compassion character caused it to become a non-hated villain, causing the viewers to be charmed by him. As a 2PM member, we do not need to talk much about their activities, his solo activities are also as smooth sailing. He will be starting his concert tour in Japan on 1 July, and waiting for the release of his 5th album.

 

In group, solo, actor. Junho, who received a lot of good comments from all of his activities, experienced lots of ups and downs in his artiste industry for 10 years, having lots of fans not only in Korea but also in Japan. The special annual summer concert tour, due to his bright and warm sunflower kind of smile, he is known as the “Summer Boy” or “Summer Lee”, gaining lots of passionate support from Japanese fans. However in this chapter, it will be about that smiling Junho, about his own discussion.

 

Chapter 1 Hard-worker Lee Junho

I often hear people say this term “Hard-worker”. It can be seen as what everyone view it as a type of charm where you have the looks of being serious and hardworking. I am indeed very happy to receive such comments. However, I have a change in mindset recently, and this image is one of the things that I want to change. Is this the type of mentality since last time, of having the looks of being “hardworking”? Everyone in the world is working hard, this is something that should be praised of and it is actually not that handsome at all. Also in the entertainment industry, you must always be sensitive to the changes of trends, including myself, where I will always need to change for the better.

 

Let’s take an example, if I were to prepare my next album with a theme of “carefree and freestyle image”, if my image of being “serious” and “hardworking” has already been solidified, then isn’t it very difficult for the other party to get into the setting of my album? I will be releasing my 5th solo album in July, “2017 S/S” depicting the bright rays of the summer, and all those days where you will have lots of activities on the street during summer. This is totally different from last year’s album “DSMN” which was about having full speed. Up till today, whenever I am preparing to release my album, I will always change the concept of even my hair and attire, and I will always be troubled about why my concept doesn’t change much.

 

During my journey, I did not slacken off and worked hard. However, it is only the results that get commented and not the journey, that is already good enough. Even though you work hard for yourself, and also for the fans who contributed a lot, however, the fans are always very positive towards my activities and the things that I do. Of course, that did bring about a great amount of strength for me. However if I were to be satisfied just like that, then I would not have the expectations to grow even more. Whenever I hear these type of praises, I will actually actually fill up my heart otherwise. In order to prevent myself from thinking that I am a genius, I will be very objective and subjective towards myself. One day, not only the fans, but also passerbys, if they are able to recognize me for my work, and when I fully feel satisfied with myself, I believe that at that time, even if I do not have the image of a “hardworker”, the fans are able to follow me on with a peace of mind.

 

Chapter 2 Expectations of Junho

From the start when I debut, I always use the identity of 2PM to run forward. The work in Japan increased, solo activities and acting activities also increased, I did not reduce my speed, always running forward. However even until now, I am still not satisfied with myself. If we take it as a comparison, I do not want to be solidified. I want to be changed gradually, as a moving liquid, always being able to show changes. If I change too much in one setting, maybe fans are unable to accept them. Thus I want to do this gradually, widening that aspect, to not be trapped in a genre.

 

After my solo activities started, I was fortunate to have a lot more work coming in, I am happy yet anxious at the same time, with the unsecured feeling of “am I able to do it well”. I have to go through several inexperienced type of work, and always at that time, I will always think “I am able to continue on, I am still able to continue on”, just using the strong passion I have to continue on. If you listen to “Pressure” (one of the songs from his 3rd album “So Good”), you will be able to feel my dilemma at that time (laughs). However no matter how hard it is, I will not give up at all. In fact, I will have more desires to not stop running forward.

 

The album that I released last year was “DSMN”, Don’t Stop Me Now, which has the meaning of not stopping me. I want to continue running forward, which is something that I always want to express. There are a lot of channels within an artiste most of the time, such as emotional tools, expressing it through songs and acting. During the process of running, it will be used up. In this type of situation, you will need to refill those used up parts and for my case, it will be difficult for me to do whatever I want. When people are away from work, they will go for a casual trip or have a casual meal. I have my own rest time as well. However, those free time will be used to compose songs or used to prepare for my next work. These things became like the norm now. Some people may feel that it is very pitiful for me but I do not feel that way at all. The times when I kept running forward and not take a break did not bring about other things but bring about who am I right now. As I stayed strong until the end, and managed to build 2PM, managed to build solo artiste Junho, managed to build actor Junho. That is something that cannot be denied. Sometimes, I will feel like praising myself unconditionally. However, I will have the regretful thoughts of “I can actually do even better”… If this happens, the members and fans who walked through this journey with me may also feel sad. Even so, when I think I need to rest, the day will definitely come when I have to rest. That can be because of my condition or can be when I want to rearrange my own thoughts, even though I still do not know when that day will arrive.

Chapter 3 Junho’s Loneliness

Last time, I would not talk about my fragile side personality. Actually I am also the type that is quiet and not expressive. When I was young, I felt that if I kept showing my fragile side, it seemed like I was hurting my own pride. During the period right after my debut, as I was still young, I will feel that this is something embarrassing. I feel that whatever I do, I will have to do them right with no conditions. If I did not do something well, I have to act out the image of being able to do well for the other party. Even though I cannot say that I entirely do not have that image anymore, but when expressing my thoughts on some things, I am able to clearly express if I am confident about it or not. For example, if I were to talk about something that happened 8 years ago, in a variety show, I will have the strong thoughts of “even though I can’t really do it, but I must still be able to do it well”. However after a few years, I have the thoughts of “oh I’m really not suited for it” and now I am able to have the quick thoughts of “for different individuals, everyone has something that they are not suited for and suitable for, thus it is fine”.

 

Recently I am a little troubled. I am the type who feels a strong sense of insecurity when I did not confirm my future plans. If I am unable to see my schedule for the next month, I will feel very pressurized. However from last year onward, my future became really unclear. At that time, I thought I should let myself calm down a little and not worry about the near future, and not holding onto those small details. As I think about it, it is actually due to this personality that led to my current state, growing so much up till today. Through that period of time, I was really troubled. If I let go that kind of nervous personality, maybe I would not be able to grow like before. Even if it is like this, if I continue on with this personality, what would I become… whenever I think about all these, I will start to have a sense of loneliness.

 

At that time, I was filming for “2PM Wild Beat” with the members at Australia, all thanks to the 6 of us spending some time together, I felt that I managed to find the answer. Even though it is not something that is directly said by the members, it is a hint that was given to me when we spend some time together? If there is something that I have to hold and endure, when I feel the sense of practicality with them, that is what 2PM is able to give me. If I were to be in other groups or debut as a solo artiste, definitely I will not feel this.

 

In order to remove the sense of loneliness, the most important thing is to say the truth. As I thought about it, it will seem to bring about trouble and hurt for others, and I will think about if I should pour out my feelings to the people around me. Like this, the loneliness will not be gone.

 

AH~~ There is another solution for it! It is getting a partner that can hold through those emotions. Be it your love partner or an animal, anything is fine. For my case it will be my cats. Other than my working time, my cats are always causing troubles for me (laughs). I practically keep posting photos of my kids on SNS. Other than these, I do not really have anything else to show… The remaining will be the same as what you have seen from the Korean variety Show “I Live Alone”. Even though it seems like my house has been organised in a clean way, my closet is not a joke. If you open it, it will cause a big issue (laughs). I also heard from the others that it would be better to just post my own photos, but I am someone who doesn’t really take selcas. Hence it became the SNS filled with cats only. Whatever it is, because of the kids’ presence, it became my sense of comfort, that is definitely the truth.

Chapter 4 Junho as an Idol

Usually I am really a dark kind of person! (laughs) However even with this personality of me, the fans used “Sun” and showered me with lots of love. I really feel that that is very amazing. For me, fans are “the reason for me to continue to sing”. They give me the sense of happiness when I stand on stage. If I view it that way, does the “Sun” means “Sun Boy” (with the meaning that a person who will always face with a good weather whenever he is out)? Last time no matter if it is raining, if I were to step out, the weather will become good. I have no idea when was the start of the name “Rain Boy”… Before that it was Jun. K who is the Rain Boy… oh I went out of topic (laughs).

 

During one of the interview, I honestly said that when 2PM is doing emceeing during the concert, I am very clear of what the fans really want to hear, hence is being said to be a natural born idol. However, when we do emceeing, all 6 members are just expressing their own thoughts without any thoughts of being an idol. For example, Chansung does not say to the fans “all of you are pretty” right? He said that because he really felt that way. Same as to me too. We just said what we want to from the bottom of our hearts. If we were to say that we have something special to say, I would want to enjoy the concert with everyone and the members. Usually I am not very sociable, and I am not the type who will start conversations. However once I stand on the stage, whatever that I want to say, no matter what it is, I will be able to say it out. I will feel like I have managed to set my feelings free. My sense of insecurities and stress will be gone.

 

Honestly speaking, if I were to just make music that I want, then I might as well not release albums. I can just sing all by myself at home. However, this is meaningless. As I sing my own self composed music, when I see fans’ expression of enjoying the music, living in this type of environment is the true meaning of my life. As I want to say “let’s do it together!” to everyone, that is why I want to sing. During the concert, people will also think that “won’t it disturb others if it is too loud?”. However I think otherwise. Hence in my concert, please enjoy it in a carefree way and express your happiness in any type of ways. Please use your entire body to enjoy, to enjoy my summer.

2PM’s Junho And Lee Se Young Energize “The Red Sleeve Cuff” Set With Their Smiles

 

Oct 15, 2021 | by S. Nam

 

Upcoming drama “The Red Sleeve Cuff” has revealed behind-the-scenes moments from 2PM’s Junho and Lee Se Young’s teaser and poster filming!

 

Based on a popular novel, “The Red Sleeve Cuff” is a historical drama about an imperial court romance between a court lady who wants to protect the life she chose and an emperor who puts the nation first before love. Junho stars as Yi San, the direct descendant and eldest grandson of the king, who will later become King Jeongjo. Lee Se Young stars as Seong Deok Im, a court lady who wants to make her own decisions about life rather than be one of the king’s many women.

 

The making-of video begins with the camerawoman asking Lee Se Young what she’s looking at. She replies in character, “I want to go outside the palace, so I was looking outside.”

During filming for the drama’s first teaser, Lee Se Young looks beautiful in a field of flowers. However, she starts to hesitate and laugh because a fly lands on top of her flower. While rehearsing for the next teaser, Junho and Lee Se Young receive directions from the director on the scene. Junho receives a scroll, which is supposed to be Seong Deok Im’s letter of apology. Examining the letter, Junho jokingly comments, “She started writing and then quit.” Lee Se Young then practices reading the letter out loud for the voice-over. The actress also mentions that her character would have picked out flowers one by one herself to decorate the letter with great care.

 

After filming a more serious moment, the two get playful as they mischievously twist around while pretending to be shy. Lee Se Young pokes Junho in the stomach and even starts dancing.

 

Later, during the poster shoot, Lee Se Young stretches out her hand, and Junho comments, “You’re Iron Man.” Junho checks with the photographer how his hand will move up to hold Lee Se Young’s hand. At the photographer’s request, Junho helps Lee Se Young adjust her sleeves slightly. Lee Se Young comments, “I feel like I’m making hand art,” and the two actors link hands slowly, creating a romantic poster using just their hands.

 

For the final poster shoot, Lee Se Young and Junho are separated by a thin veil. Nevertheless, the two start playing games with one another before getting serious. The photographer asks them to lift their chins up slightly, and the moment results in another breathtaking poster.

that was a beautiful hug..

 

 

Sadly I dropped this drama after 4 episodes, and then I picked it up this year, and weirdly I kinda liked it and realized the dramas had a very unlikeable and uneven start. but when it all settled down and the narrative finally felt less all over the place it had that good spunky weird likable beat to it. though I do think they misused jang Hyuk in this drama.

 

and I also like that hug... kekeke

yep, so true..  it was bad writing. 

 

Anyway, I was glad Seo Pung and JRW's character were OTP.

I didnt want Junho to be the SL and just chase after the FL. Yet, Jang Hyuk and JRW had a good chemistry.

I watched the drama to the end just because of Junho and because of the bromance between Seo Pung and 

JH's character.

 

 

 

 

 

Although I also liked the love story...

definitely bad writing, I think the story was salvaged at the end due to the actors.

When i first watched it, then dropped it... I was ready to have my heart broken, thinking Junho will be the one to not get the girl. 

but I was definitely glad they were the OTP... they had some good chemistry between them.

and their kisses feels real...

He followed LSM around and got his own romance to follow... he was adorable around YSH..

hahahaha

really too bad that the drama started to get interesting after they lost so much viewers because of its bad narrative, especially at the start. 

and people saying JH and JRW had no chemistry (though I guess I would have agreed if I had not re-watched it again)

need to watch this:

and I gotta say I really do love Chef Pung. I love how Junho played/portrayed that type of tsundere, with domineering chefness and angry puppy posturing and a whole lot of bluster
