Lee Joon Gi Shares Concerns On Wearing A Mask For "Scarlet Heart: Goryeo"

Lee Joon Gi recently talked about his experience on acting while wearing a mask for SBS’s “Scarlet Heart: Goryeo.” The actor plays the fourth prince Wang So, who covers his scarred face with a mask.

For many actors, wearing a mask for a long time can be burdensome and concerning, because it means giving up the benefit of showing their appearance in the drama.

However, Lee Joon Gi’s was less concerned with his physical appearance and was more concerned in a different direction. “Wearing a mask while acting signifies the character’s drama within, so I was very interested and liked it. But when acting, it’s not easy to control my depth perception and there were times when I got dizzy. So I was deeply worried about what to do. Because that aspect intensifies during action scenes, I thought it was important to adjust as soon as possible,” he explained.

The actor also shared his thought process on communicating his emotions, saying, “More than anything, the key point was figuring out how to adjust and communicate Wang So’s emotions to the viewers using my eyes. If I put too much intensity behind my eyes, it could cover Wang So’s story or his pain, and so I put effort in finding the boundaries.”

Lee Joon Gi is currently receiving love from the public for his role as Wang So in the drama “Scarlet Heart: Goryeo.”
