Actor Ahn Jae Hong will transform into the male protagonist of the Netflix series 'Mask Girl'.

According to Ten Asia on November 25th, Ahn Jae Hong will appear as the male lead in 'Mask Girl'.

The original webtoon 'Mask Girl' is an ordinary office woman with a severe sense of inferiority in appearance, and is caught up in various incidents while as an internet broadcasting BJ with her face covered with a mask.

The webtoon 'Mask Girl' of the same name, serialized on Naver from 2015 to 2018, was also very popular at the time.

In the drama, Ahn Jae Hong takes on the role of a man who loves Kim as a co-worker at a time when Kim Momi was ignored for being ugly.

Previously, according to Sports Dong-a reports, actress Go Hyun Jung was selected for the role of the main character, Kim Momi.

Kim Momi lives as an ordinary office worker during the day, but in the evening, she uses her superior body to cover her face with a mask and gets involved in various incidents while working as an internet broadcasting BJ.

'Mask Girl' is the next film directed by Kim Yong Hoon of the movie 'Beasts That Cling to Straw' and aims to shoot next year.

With the meeting of Go Hyun Jung and Ahn Jae Hong, attention is paid to what differentiated fun 'Mask Girl' will provide from the webtoon.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
