Lee Jong-hyuk's son Lee Tak-su to appear on 'Knowing Bros'

Actor Lee Jong-hyuk's son, Lee Tak-su, is launching his full-fledged acting career, moving from the theater stage to variety shows.

Stepping cautiously into the spotlight as a second-generation actor, Lee Tak-su will appear on the popular JTBC variety program 'Knowing Bros'. In the episode airing August 1, actors Oh Man-seok, Yeon Jung-hoon, Kang Chan-hee, and Lee Tak-su—who are currently performing together in the play 'Dead Poets Society'—will appear as guests to share behind-the-scenes stories and lighthearted episodes from the production.

During the broadcast, the four will catch eyes by appearing in costumes reminiscent of their characters. They will engage in conversation reflecting their teacher-student relationships in the play, sharing everything from an introduction to the production to various stories from the rehearsal process.

In particular, Lee is a rookie actor who officially debuted on the theater stage through 'Dead Poets Society' on the 19th, and this broadcast is expected to provide another opportunity to make his name known to the public.

In the released preview, the actors are seen expressing confidence in their work. Mentioning the box office fever by stating, "We ranked first after ticket sales opened," they also conveyed the meaning of the work and the atmosphere on set by reenacting the director's core message: "Live (Carpe Diem)."

Oh Man-seok and Yeon Jung-hoon, who play John Charles Keating, Kang Chan-hee, who plays Neil Perry, and Lee Tak-su, who plays Charlie Dalton, are expected to showcase their honest and cheerful charms on the variety show, contrasting with their serious personas on stage.

Additionally, Yeon is expected to draw viewers' attention by revealing behind-the-scenes stories regarding his love story with his wife, Han Ga-in.

Above all, this appearance is particularly meaningful for Lee. Having received public attention since childhood as Lee Jong-hyuk's son, he chose the direct challenge of theater to be evaluated on his own acting skills rather than his father's shadow.

Lee Jong-hyuk also drew attention by leaving a message of support via SNS after watching his son's first stage performance in person. All eyes are now on Lee Tak-su, who has followed in his father's footsteps, to see what new sides he will reveal through both variety shows and the stage.
