Mask Girl has brought Ahn Jae Hong a lot of attention for how well he plays his roles. He plays the lonely nerd who likes the live streamer "Mask Girl."

He had to act like a socially awkward middle-aged man in order to play the part of Ju Oh Nam, the nerd. In the part, his "loser-like traits" helped him get a lot of praise and attention.

Ahn Jae Hong had to look a little bigger than usual to look more like the original character.

Many people thought he put on weight on purpose to play the part, but that couldn't be further from the truth. He said in an interview that he used fake parts to make it look like he had a belly.

He was a little disappointed that no one saw this.

Of course, that just shows how good an actor he is. Ahn Jae Hong knows this, but even though he was happy about the praise, it still made him feel a little sad.

Netizens praised him again for his acting, and they were happy to see how he looked outside of the part.

I got chills from how well he could act. Why is it that he is so good at being a bad person?
He is what the character is all about. Even the belly is gone from my mind.
What the heck, why is he so pretty?
I'm really into him right now. He looks so good like this. Even now, I'm watching Be Melodramatic again.
What the heck, Jae Hong is cute!
I thought he had put on a little weight…
[Reply to] I agree, Ahn Jae Hong is so cute.
Wow, why does he look so good in the pictures?

In Mask Girl, Ahn Jae Hong played Ju Oh Nam himself! It's not surprising that people didn't realize it was all an outfit!

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.
