With Lee Sung-painstaking min's and nuanced acting, Jin Yang-chul is being finished as a multifaceted and three-dimensional character, and he has become a significant factor in raising the drama's caliber.

Lee Sung-min, who commands attention in each episode with his distinctive performance, did not fall short of expectations this time. Lee Sung-min's solo stage was "Reborn Rich," the drama. His aged voice, hunched demeanor, and charisma were ideal. The previous chaebol family chairman possessed and appreciated him.

Particularly in the scene where he probed his youngest grandson Do-jun (Kim Kang-hoon), and learned who his adored kid after learning of his illness, he amplified tension and immersion to the utmost with his eyes, booming voice, and words that seemed to eat the camera. The climax of the eleventh episode and the madness in the teaser got favorable reviews. He expertly conveyed his suffering as he eventually lost himself. Even more appropriate was the rapturous acclaim of "I heard the acting god."

The discourse is also driven by a tale that seems to be based on true events that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s. The bombing of the KAL airliner, the sushi episode of the late Chairman Lee Byung-chul, and the love of the late Chairman Chung Ju-young in hanbok are just a few examples of scenes that have been compared in posts on various social media platforms.

1. Who is Lee Sung-Min?

He is an actor from South Korea. He is a talented actor who can portray everyone, from common folks to evil chaebol to politicians. He is a talented actor who frequently appears in current productions.

It is said that he endured significant challenges throughout the unidentified time period. He commuted back and forth between his Daegu house, the theater company in Seoul, and the filming location, surviving off of his wife's part-time income and being provided 100,000 won by her each week to cover living expenses as well as the automobile.

Because of this, it is believed that he was more terrified than thrilled to learn of the pregnancy of his first child. Because he couldn't afford to feed the child meat, he instead fed him raw pig belly, which costs 1,000 won for each serving. After becoming a successful actor, when I notice that "I don't even want to look at the pork belly meat," I guess I have a memory of living fairly hard when I was unknown. He is currently an actor earning hundreds of millions of dollars.

2. What is Lee Sung-min's Personality?

It is stated that because they are so reserved and strangely incapable of drinking even one drink, it takes a long time to get to know them.

Bae Jung-nam, a fellow actor, lauded Lee Sung-min for his nice looks in an interview and stated, "My brother was the reverse; the higher the status, the more I saw him giving it on the spot. But there are those who don't. The movie has a good story.

"Since my brother is old, I lead him and let each team have a get-together," he continued. I wonder if anyone still does that now. The production team ordered it, the art team ordered it, and they all had separate orders. I am really learning. Seeing that was even more awesome. I pick it up that way," he added.

3. Lee Sung Min's Activity  (Actor Life)

A week after being released from the military, he traveled from Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, to Daegu to play with 70,000 won since he couldn't forget the first performance he saw when he was 20 years old. Because the theater company was short on funds and had no friends to turn to for assistance, ramen and noodles were the only meals provided at the time. The actor's career, which got its start in one of these theatrical companies, drew the attention of a director, who sent him to Daegu Metropolitan City in 1991, where he worked as an actor for more than ten years. He married his wife at this time, who was choreographing a play, and went on to win the best acting prize at the 2001 National Theater Festival for "Piggy Hunt."

He relocated to Seoul in 2002 on the advice of a theater troupe from Seoul that had traveled to Daegu for a performance. He appeared in plays including "Bienso," "Pig Hunt," and "There," and in the movie "Silk Shoes" in 2006, he played a human mobster named Sung-chul. However, because the movie was so low-budget, it was challenging for the audience to remember him. In addition, he played a supporting role in "Marathon" and other films, although he remained unknown due to editing and other factors.

Meanwhile, in the drama "Pasta," starring Gong Hyo-jin and Lee Sun-kyun, he played Seol Joon-seok, the head of the pants, and started to amaze audiences by playing an unforgettable villain. Since then, he has continued to appear in various dramas, movies, and plays.

He portrayed trauma specialist Choi In-hyuk in the 2012 drama "Golden Time." In order to portray the opposite of Brain's Ko Jae-hak, who portrayed the same doctor character, the actor shed 7 kg and tried to resurrect the reality of the emergency department doctor by dragging his sneakers for weeks prior to filming, which was well-received by fans. It is the first piece of art for which the public has given it due credit for a prominent role.

He played Oh Sang-sik in the drama "Misaeng" in 2014, which was well-received by fans. For this role, he won the Best Actor Award at the 2015 Baeksang Arts Awards and the Best Actor Award at the 2016 tvN10 Awards.

In 2016,  he starred in his first film, "SORI: Voice from the Heart". 

With the movie "The Spy Gone North," he and Ju Ji-hoon made their red carpet debut at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. In 2019, he also took home the Best Actor honors at the Directors' Cut Awards, the Buil Film Award, the Daejong Award, the Korea Film Critics Association Award, and the 55th Baeksang Arts Awards.

His method acting in the movie "The Man Standing Next" in 2020 garnered a ton of praise. Since then, regardless of the lead or supporting roles, he has demonstrated his acting talent by taking part in many works.

His acting abilities are thought to have peaked when he played Jin Yang-chul in the drama "Reborn Rich" in 2022. The division of construction work is well-received by the public for playing the role of the first generation of knife-like chaebol.

 

4. Reborn Rich Interview

Lee Sung-min is playing "Reborn Rich" in his acting. Lee Sung-min portrays Jin Yang-chul, the head of the miserable Sunyang Group, in the Friday-Saturday drama "Reborn Rich," which is presently running on JTBC.

He originally appeared at the conclusion of the first episode, overwhelming the audience without saying a word, and by the first phrase of the second episode, "How many," he had already achieved flawless character synchronization.

With his keen eyes, obstinate mouth, and intimidating air, Lee Sung-min was Jin Yang-chul himself. Lee Sung-min entirely erased himself with a curved Gyeongsang-do dialect and hunched posture. Additionally, he finished a three-dimensional tin tale with a sense of care for the nation's final vehicle industry as well as love for his children, who are out of sight.

 

Q. What's it like to portray the chairman in this drama?

I've held a lot of high-level roles, but this is my first experience as a chaebol owner. With Song Joong Ki, it went well. I enjoyed working with Joong Ki. Wouldn't there be a different drama of resolution from the chaebol and aristocracy I've seen in the past? So, I hope. I'm hoping for a good drama. Filming lasted almost a year.

 

Q. It has been said that you are a successful actor. Is it not difficult?

Actors are just like employees in the workplace. Do office workers only work on the weekends? When I play, I never take a break. You spent about a third of my life in a life that wasn't mine if you measure the time. From the minute I get dressed and leave for work, it's not my life.

 

Q. What do you think about aging as a performer?

I'm not quite ready for retirement, but I'm getting close (about aging). There are occasional instances in Hollywood movies that include renowned performers making cameo appearances. That might be my future, I believe. Michelle Pfeiffer was featured in Antman and the Wasp when I recently signed up for Disney+ and started watching Marvel flicks. In the past, he excelled as an actor. Thor Russell Crowe concurred. When I got older, I imagined that's how I'd look. There is no reluctance to display an aged face. It seems natural to me.

 

Q. This year, a number of books were published, and while I got to meet new people and get some fresh air, did you feel like your energy was being expended?

Perhaps, but I don't believe so. The timetable for each project was totally different. I got to know a lot of reporters this year. Although each work's story is unique, the fact that the same performer appears also causes worry. If I explain to the audience what I can do with the character variance, I believe they will comprehend. I'm making an effort.
