SEVENTEEN member Jun is making a significant return to the screen, starring in the Chinese film 'Rebirth 2', scheduled for release next month on the 3rd. This comeback is generating considerable buzz due to his extensive acting background, which spans over two decades since his childhood.
In 'Rebirth 2', Jun takes on the lead role of Su Cheng, a character on a quest to find his lost sibling, engaging in a revenge narrative that combines both elaborate action sequences and nuanced emotional performances. He shares the screen with Liang Luoshi, known from 'The Mummy 3', and other seasoned actors, including Hong Kong action master Sammo Hung. Jun's acting journey began as a child model, leading to a nomination for Best New Performer at the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2008. More recently, he received the Popularity Award at the Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards for the web drama 'Exclusive Fairytale' and was invited to various film festivals for the movie 'Storm of the Wind'.
Local bloggers emphasize Jun's long-standing dedication to acting, highlighting his ability to blend the delicate emotional depth honed since childhood with the powerful stage presence he exhibits in K-pop. His recent appointment as an overseas ambassador for the 13th Silk Road International Film Festival and a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at China's Hundred Flowers Awards further underscore his growing recognition as an actor. This new role is anticipated to broaden his acting range, leaving a strong impression on both global and Chinese audiences.
