With another addition to his already stellar resume, popular Korean actor Lee Jong-suk is now the new face for men's clothing brand Sieg Fahrenheit. He will be the new model for the brand's 2017 spring-summer collection, his agency YG said.
The model-turned-actor was selected as the face for the brand's 2017 spring-summer collection. A spokesperson for Sieg Fahrenheit said they looked forward to working with the "W" star, and had high hopes for him as he appealed to many regardless of sex and age, according to Korea Herald.
Following the immense popularity of recent hit drama, "W," Lee Jong -suk quickly became one of the most sought-after actors in Korea. The Kdrama, which followed the love story between a human and a web cartoon, swept several awards during the 2016 MBC Drama Awards. Lee Jong-suk won as best actor for his role as the young CEO Kang Cheol, a web cartoon who falls in love with human Yeon Joo (Han Hyo Joo).
Other ventures for Lee Jong-suk
This recent advertising stint with Sieg Fahrenheit is only the first of what's yet to come for Lee Jong-suk, who's been in and out of other Kdramas as well. He made a special guest appearance with the recently concluded "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo," according to Soompi.
He and "Pinocchio" costar Yoon Kyun Sang were good friends with lead actress Lee Sung Kyung. As such, they often got together with the actress to lend their support for the actress, and often complimented Lee Sung Kyung's portrayal of the weightlifter Bok Joo. The actress was immensely thankful to both actors, particularly Lee Jong-suk, for their tireless support and appreciation for the besieged drama, which earned good reviews but consistently garnered single-digit ratings.
Reports about a second season for the highly acclaimed "W" also continue to circulate the internet as fans of the series clamored for its return to television. Unfortunately, the possibility of a second season remains mostly speculation, so stay tuned for more news and updates regarding Lee Jong-suk and his future projects.
