Lee Joon Hyuk Starts Diet for “City Hunter”
Lee Joon Hyuk, who had to gain over 6 kg for his role as a genius guitarist in “I am Legend,” is now going to start a harsh diet and workout routine.
He has been casted for the drama “City Hunter” which will air after “49 Days” is over and his role is an elite prosecutor.
He already has been working out frequently with boxing, kendo, and aikido to bring his weight down and to complete the suit fashion of “City Hunter”s Kim Young Joo, he is trying to obtain a slim yet muscular body.
He has denied regular food and is only eating sweet potatoes, carrots, salad, and nuts.
Lee Joon Hyuk is spending 10 hours a day practicing the script, working out, and martial arts. He said, “Since I worked so hard to act as the kind and flexible characters, I thought that I needed a sudden image change.”
“There were lots of other prosecutor characters before me but I will try very hard to create a whole new character where he is aggressive at times and warm at times to make the most attractive prosecutor ever.”
“City Hunter” is a drama based on the manga “City Hunter” and other casts are Lee Min Ho, Park Min Young, and Goo Hara. The drama will air its first episode on May 25th.
