Recently, Lee June's name has attracted the attention of the audience thanks to the movie "Stormy Family". In the film, he plays Kang Tae Poong - a rich young master who suddenly becomes the head of a trading company on the brink of bankruptcy during the 1997 Asian financial crisis - IMF.
Not only taking care of a neat appearance: wearing denim fashion, leather jacket, light bristles, round earrings... the male star also shows his efforts in portraying the humanity of the character.
Tae Poong's image is open on the outside but warm, meticulous, and modest on the inside, clearly shown through Lee June's transformation. Along with that, his handsome appearance and good interaction with co-star Kim Min Ha (as Oh Mi Seon) are also factors that score points.
Thanks to that, for 2 consecutive weeks, the film "Storm Family" topped the most favorite TV series rankings, according to Good Data Corporation.
The two main actors Lee June and Kim Min Ha also ranked 1st and 2nd respectively on the most discussed actor rankings. At the same time, in the episode shown last weekend (November 9), the film also achieved a viewership rating of 9.4%, the highest since its broadcast.
With the film's coverage and acting ability, many new opportunities have opened up for Lee June. On November 11, Korean media reported that the actor was invited to play the main role in the movie Veteran 3 and is actively considering the role.
The film Veteran (Where to Run) belongs to the comedy - action - crime genre, directed by Ryoo Seung Wan. The film revolves around Seo Do Chul (Hwang Jung Min) - an experienced detective who constantly chases criminals.
Veteran released its first part in 2015 and attracted 13.41 million tickets sold. Part 2 of the film released in 2024 titled I, the Executioner also achieved good results with 7.52 million tickets.
In this part, a behind-the-scenes scene shows the villain Park Sun Woo (Jung Hae In) being arrested but escaping while on the move, revealing the sequel.
Currently, the producer of Veteran 3 has not determined the filming schedule. If Lee June accepts, he will have a look forward to a handshake with Hwang Jung Min. At the end of this year, the actor will also return with the superhero film "Cashero" co-starring Kim Hye Joon, Kim Byung Chul, Kim Hyang Gi.
He also held a fan meeting called Typhoon Family Drama Fan Meeting in Asia with Lee June in 4 cities: Tokyo (Japan) on December 14, Taipei (China) on December 27 and 28, Cao (China) on January 17, 2026 and Bangkok (Thailand) on January 31, 2026.
