"The Roundup: No Way Out" Lee Joon Hyuk Gains 19kg After Eating Hamburgers!

On the 4th, a video titled "Lee Joon Hyuk's Self-Profile: Returning as the Ultimate Villain in 'The Roundup: No Way Out'" was released on Allure Korea's YouTube channel.

Lee Joon Hyuk stated, "I think 'The Roundup: No Way Out' is the first time I've played an extreme villain role. Joo Sung Chul is a sensitive calf. I imagined a calf-like feeling when creating Joo Sung Chul. It's the most confident character among the characters I've played. I've never played a character with so much confidence before. He has overflowing self-esteem, confidence, and luck, so he's bold."

He explained, "When bulking up, I ate a lot of chicken breasts and tomatoes. When preparing for 'The Roundup: No Way Out,' I had to gain weight and ate hamburgers and chicken."

Lee Joon Hyuk said, "I gained about 19kg to reduce the pain when I get hit by Ma Suk Do. Personally, it was good for me. I think I was able to show a side of me that I haven't shown before. Even I thought, 'Isn't this enough to fight with Ma Suk Do?'"

He added, "After gaining weight, my liver somatic index increased, and I think my health worsened. I've been thinking I must protect my body since I've put so much strain on it."

Meanwhile, "The Roundup: No Way Out" is a movie that depicts a thrilling crime-solving operation to catch Joo Sung Chul (played by Lee Joon Hyuk), the mastermind behind a new type of drug crime, and another villain involved in the drug case, Ricky (played by Aoki Munetaka), after Ma Suk Do (played by Ma Dong Seok), an irreplaceable monster detective, moves to Seoul regional investigation team. The movie will be released on May 31.
