Lee Jonghyun vs Colin

CN Blue’s Lee Jong Hyun has recently come to hold a new name – Collin. Why? The reason stems from the popularity of A Gentleman’s Dignity and by extension, Lee Jong Hyun, who plays the son of Jang Dong Gun.

In real life, Lee Jong Hyun is CN Blue’s guitarist and vocalist. Hitting the jackpot with his drama debut, he′s one happy man these days - especially considering that working and meeting the four ‘mid-aged flower men’ of Jang Dong Gun, Kim Soo Ro, Kim Min Jong and Lee Jong Hyuk is quite an enviable fortune.

To be frank, Lee Jong Hyun was a bit afraid to meet Lee Jong Hyuk. The reason was because his character’s image in the movie Spirit of Jeet Keun Do was so strong in Lee Jong Hyun’s mind. However, he found Lee Jong Hyuk to be truly different than what he had thought.

Interview with Elle Girls quoted as follows

EG: Being one of the actor in the current weekend drama, A Gentleman’s Dignity, how do you feel from this acting debut?
LJH: I do feel very stress at the start, I am trying my best to become an actor. It is an honor to be working with such good senior actors, director and writer.

EG: Did you gain interest for acting from dramas?
LJH: I am rather stubborn, such as I only like to do things that I am good at. Take for example, I am good at music, I always have the mindset that I should just do music for my whole life. Nowadays, people have been trying to brainwash me saying that, ‘why should you be scared since they(music and acting) are considered as arts’. As time goes by, when I come into contact with more dramas, naturally it arouses my interest to try acting. The fact is acting is really difficult.

Below lines are  from A Gentleman’s Dignity scenes. the way Lee Jonghyun portrayal Colin always unique and in a different way makes him looked cool, straight forwards and I can’t deny his awkwardness sometimes, but he did his very best for his first drama.

From my personal reviews, Jonghyun added little of himself in Colin's character. His interests and straightforwardness quite similar to his character in real life.
