Lee Je-hoon reveals why he chose to launch a one-man management label

In a recent interview, Lee Je-hoon revealed that he wishes to work for the rest of his life with certain objectives that he has in mind. After his contract ended with Saram Entertainment in April 2021, the Move To Heaven actor took some time to decide what was next for him in his career.

Initially, the actor was in favor of joining another agency. However, if his objectives did not match the company's, he would have to pick another one. To avoid such a situation, he decided to launch his own company even though he lacked the skills to run one.

As per the publication, he mentioned:

"After the exclusive contract with the first company came to an end, I contemplated a lot about whether to stay with that company, move to a new company, or promote on my own."

It has been two years since his agency was launched, and the 38-year-old actor wishes to diligently grow it in the near future. At present, Company On houses two actors: Lee and rookie actress Kim Eun-bi.

The actor also dished on how he would like to keep working despite people believing that he might slow down as he has been taking on projects continuously since 2007. In fact, he wishes to work harder in the next 10 years.

He said:

"Each project is like a challenging mission but I want to be an actor that brings anticipation all the time for the works that I appear in."

Lee Je-hoon made his debut in 2007 with a short movie titled They Live By Night and has since worked on several films and K-dramas. He is well-known for his work in Just Friends?, Where Stars Land, Time to Hunt, Collectors, I Can Speak, Tomorrow, with You, and more.
