Lee Jun Ho

Lee Jun-ho, born January 25, 1990, and also known mononymously as Junho, is a South Korean singer-songwriter and actor. He first rose to prominence as a member of the South Korean boy band 2PM. Lee made his feature film acting debut in the 2013 thriller Cold Eyes and has since appeared in numerous films and television series, including Twenty, Good Manager, Rain or Shine, Confession, King the Land, Typhoon Family, and Cashero. His performance in the 2021 television drama The Red Sleeve earned him the Baeksang Arts Award for Best Actor. As a solo recording artist, he has released studio albums, compilation albums, and extended plays in both South Korea and Japan.

Lee was inspired to pursue filmmaking after watching the film Shiri during elementary school, though his interests shifted toward acting by the fourth grade. He attended Sewon High School, where he joined the theater club, participated in poetry and provincial competitions, and enrolled in the drama program. He later earned his undergraduate degree at Howon University in Gunsan, South Korea, and subsequently obtained a master's degree in cinematography from Sejong University.

Lee began his career in the entertainment industry in 2006 after winning the reality competition show Superstar Survival, placing first among 6,500 competitors and signing a contract with JYP Entertainment. In 2008, he appeared on the Mnet program Hot Blooded Men, which documented trainees competing to join the boy band One Day. The program resulted in the formation of 2PM, which debuted later that year with the single "10 Out of 10" from their first single album, Hottest Time of the Day. The group achieved mainstream success in South Korea with their 2009 follow-up single album, 2:00PM Time For Change.

In 2013, Lee made his debut as a solo musical artist in Japan with his self-produced extended play Kimi no Koe. Over the following years, he released several successful Japanese extended plays, including Feel, So Good, DSMN, 2017 S/S, Winter Sleep, and Souzou, along with compilation and studio albums. His solo discography in South Korea includes the studio albums One and Two, as well as the extended play Canvas. He supported these releases with extensive touring and fan-meeting concerts across Asia and South America. After seventeen years with JYP Entertainment, Lee departed the company in April 2025 and established his own agency, O3 Collective, later that August.

Alongside his music career, Lee established himself as an actor. Following his debut in Cold Eyes, he starred in films such as Memories of the Sword and the coming-of-age movie Twenty in 2015. He made his television acting debut in 2016 in tvN's legal drama Memory. In 2017, his role as an arrogant financial director in the comedy drama Good Manager earned him the Excellence Award at the KBS Drama Awards, marking his first acting accolade. He subsequently secured his first lead television role in JTBC's Rain or Shine, followed by roles in projects such as Wok of Love, Confession, and the Japanese film Rose and Tulip.
