He enjoys sports and is skilled at them. He is especially excellent in scenes where he handles his body on the set. He allegedly began playing basketball in middle school and was chosen as a Goyang City representative. He especially enjoys basketball, so even though he is busy during the basketball season, he watches all of the highlight videos.

He also enjoys cooking a lot. When asked what he would have done if he hadn't been an actor, he said he would have been a chef. When he's in a relationship, he's said to go straight. There is no ideal kind, and it is stated that they date frequently at first sight. If he falls in love at first sight, he just approaches and inquires, "Do you have a boyfriend?" If he does not, he replies, "Let's take a cup of coffee if you have time." He was said to have been hurt numerous times.

"I recall from the entrance examination," remarked Professor Baek Nam-young, a theater professor at Chung-Ang University, of Lee Do-hyun. I really wanted him to pass because he gave an outstanding performance in the second stage of his improvisation assignment. I was overjoyed to pass. He conveyed a serious and earnest demeanor without being patronizing. As an actor, he was a student with a natural gift who worked hard. I performed the drama "The Tale of Sorabyeol." He demonstrated superb body control in the long-term job by playing the character of a dog who adapts swiftly and has no lines. The department's CEO was enthusiastic enough to raise his hand and declare he would do it himself, and his relationship with his colleagues and juniors was excellent. Especially among my coworkers, I am still known as a dear buddy."

"Lee Do-hyun is a good performer," actress Lim Soo-jung, who worked on "Melancolia," remarked of Lee Do-hyun has a great deal of talent Characters must be thoroughly understood and interpreted. He has a good appearance and voice, therefore his emotional expression is realistic. The deep sensibility that transcends time and era is truly unique. It is extremely touching in that it breaks down barriers and allows for dialogue, giving the impression that it is true. Regardless of age or gender, what I found most unique as an actor-to-actor with Do-hyun was the moments of performance that actually breathed and evoked emotions. Some inexperienced performers focus on their own movements rather than breathing with the other actor, but Do-hyun does not. Because both my intellect and heart are open, I absorb my smoke without filtering it, incorporating it completely into my own activities and returning it to me. There were several times when I finished the scene by escalating my emotions one by one. The procedure seemed like a lovely duet on stage. I'm also grateful to actor Lee Do-hyun for providing me with such wonderful experiences and memories as an actor "He stated.

About Lee Do-hyun, director Lee Eung-bok said, “Lee Do-hyun's Eun-hyuk in ”Sweet Home" can be challenging to perform as an actor since he is sensible but sometimes reveals profound tenderness and communicates his feelings as much as possible." It would have been tough to set the direction at first since the character was not a perfect lead or villain, but it quickly absorbed the direction in the field and displayed a young yet mature aspect. He/she played a cool and realistic personality attractively as a true leader of Green Home, and he/she kept the center of Sweet Home well since he/she participated in the shooting with a strong comprehension of the character. The initial meeting happened before several works like this one. "In contrast to Eun-hyuk, the true personality is kind and gentle, so I'm glad and looking forward to the future when I see him on a roll," he remarked.

4. Interview Related to ‘The Glory’

"I participated because of the writer and director," Lee Do-hyun remarked at the "The Glory" production presentation.

Q. Do you obtain your acting answers through observation?

- I enjoy observing. My teacher assigned me to keep an "observation notebook" when I first started acting, so I sat outside the window of a whole glass hamburger shop and observed people virtually every day.I kept a diary in which I recorded things such as, "That guy acts like that when he clashes with his partner," and "That person smiles like that without realizing it when he is in a good mood," which I now use when acting.

 

Q. It appears to be heavily impacted by the work.

- That's the way it is. During acting, I learn things I didn't know, and occasionally I start doing things I shouldn't.

 

Q: Which work had the most influence on your life?

- The Tale of the Sorah Star, a drama It is a friendly and charming mask play about children and animals in rural areas.  When I saw him as a retaker, I was so delighted that I wanted to be a part of that work someday, but happily, I attended the school and took on a position in that work. Because it was a country dog role, the only line was "Walwal," but the performance was excellent throughout.

 

Q. What do you believe is the foundation for acting?

- Physical stamina. The majority of the filming has a start time, but the end time is not set, and the following scene frequently stays even after the actor has acted passionately with wrath or tears spilling forth. Physical strength must be supported in order to act even in difficult and stressful situations. Therefore I try not to be sluggish when it comes to exercise as much as observing someone and practicing acting.
