Lee Joon had an unexpectedly meaningful moment during a trip to Vietnam when a local resident recognized him specifically as an actor.
On the latest episode of MBN’s This Is Hyunmoo Road, Lee Joon and Jun Hyun Moo traveled through Da Nang and Hue while trying to experience places outside the usual tourist routes.
During a meal at a local restaurant in Hue, one resident suddenly recognized Lee Joon and said they had seen him in a movie.
The moment stood out to Lee Joon because he was being recognized for his acting rather than his past as an idol.
He shared that being known overseas as an actor felt especially different and meaningful, making the brief encounter one of the most memorable moments of the trip.
The episode also included several lighter scenes from their Vietnam journey. At one point, Lee Joon went swimming late at night and took off his shirt, surprising Jun Hyun Moo with his broad shoulders and muscular build.
The two also explored local markets, ate seafood away from major tourist areas, joined children for an impromptu football game, and traveled by train from Da Nang to Hue.
Still, Lee Joon’s reaction to being recognized as an actor became one of the episode’s most relatable highlights, showing how meaningful it was for him to see his acting career reach viewers outside Korea.
