Lee Joon-Gi, 34, revealed he would love to take up roles similar to "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo's" co-star Kang Ha-Neul. The former portrayed the aloof and reserved forth prince Wang So.
In a sit-down interview with Chinese magazine, as cited by Soompi, the Hallyu star was asked which prince he would like to play if he had the chance to choose again. In response, Lee stated he still prefers 4th prince Wang So and explained exactly why.
"Wang So has a stiff personality, but he is wholeheartedly devoted to a girl, which I think makes him a very cool and handsome character," Lee explained. "It was a great satisfaction to have played such a character."
However, if he had to choose, the "Scholar Who Walks the Night" admitted he would like to try the role of "The Heirs" actor. The latter played the gentle and sweet 8th prince, Wang Wook, who is the most accomplished and talented prince.
Lee explained he would love to take up the role in light of the fact that the 8th prince is a romantic person and although all of the characters went through a lot of changes, many viewers still liked Wang Wook. He then added that he would like to learn how to be a romantic person from playing the character.
Lee, who became a household name after starring in 2005's "The King and the Clown," has landed a supporting role in the upcoming sci-fi action film "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter." He will play Umbrella Corporation's Commander Lee, who holds a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo.
Though Lee's screen time is only five to ten minutes long, his character is expected to have a significant fight scene with the heroine Alice (Milla Jovovich). Recently, the Hallyu star expressed his deep gratitude to the latter by uploading a video clip of Jovovich's past interview with IGN on his Instagram account.
In the interview, as cited by All Kpop, Jovovich complimented Lee on his skills in martial arts. She detailed how awed she was watching the actor do his own stunts, while still being the most beautiful pretty boy.
