On June 21 episode of tvN's television show 'You Quiz on the Block', Lee Jun Hyuk made a guest appearance.
During his talk with the two hosts―Yu Jae Seok and Cho Sae-ho, he thought back to the past when he had just begun acting.
Lee Jun Hyuk started off by saying, "It was my love for movies that brought me where I am now. I registered at an acting academy, and I met a strict, but great acting instructor there. During my time at the academy, I was introduced to an acting agency, where I got to sign."
"Since I was a passionate student, I arrived early for my class every day. So, I got to see those waiting for their one-on-one classes, and they included actors like Won Bin and Gang Dong Won. Whenever I saw them, I felt a strong need to do well. It was hard, but I pushed myself over my limit at that time. I just felt like I had to.", he stated.
Lee Jun Hyuk said his time at the academy was not easy; he often cried in embarrassment as well as frustration, "For like two straight years, the only words I heard from my instructor were how bad I was at acting. I felt embarrassed and frustrated. Every night, I would go home crying my eyes out. But if I gave up, that meant I had lost, so I kept going."
