Actor Lee Jong Suk is drawing attention for his playful description of his character Heinrey in Disney+'s The Remarried Empress, showing a funny side of the charming prince that viewers see in the drama.
On November 6, Lee Jong Suk shared several behind-the-scenes photos from the series on his social media account, along with humorous captions about his character.
He introduced the photos with "Hein-lee," a playful combination of his character's name Heinrey and his own surname Lee.
In one photo, the actor appeared wearing a black hat and a mask covering part of his face, giving off a mysterious and intimidating look.
Another photo showed his bare back, revealing his muscular physique and scar makeup used for filming.
However, it was his funny captions that stood out.
Lee Jong Suk jokingly referred to Shin Min Ah's character Navier as "Empress noona," using the Korean word men use when addressing an older woman.
He then described himself as "The Kim Du Han of romance fantasy has arrived. A glass of milk instead of alcohol."
The reference to Kim Du Han, a well-known Korean historical figure often portrayed as a tough fighter in dramas, added a humorous contrast to Heinrey's elegant appearance as a royal prince.
His joke highlighted a different side of the character, suggesting that there is more to Heinrey than his charming and romantic image.
In The Remarried Empress, Lee Jong Suk plays Heinrey, the prince of the Western Kingdom and first in line to the throne. The character attracts attention wherever he goes and is frequently surrounded by rumors.
The Disney+ fantasy romance also stars Shin Min Ah as Empress Navier, Ju Ji Hoon as Emperor Sovieshu, and Lee Se Young as Rashta.
As The Remarried Empress continues its run, Lee Jong Suk's behind-the-scenes photos offer fans a glimpse of his playful personality and the unexpected charm behind his royal character.
