He has proven his duality as an actor through these two very opposite roles and more. You may be wondering more about him though. Here are 4 things that you probably didn’t know about rising actor Lee TaeVin. Warning: This article contains a spoiler for “Penthouse: War In Life”!
1. He is a former K-Pop idol
Lee TaeVin was part of a K-Pop boy group called MYTEEN which consisted of 7 members and debuted in 2017. You can watch their debut stage here.
Lee TaeVin always had ambitions of acting since before he debuted as an idol. He even acted in a theater production. He left the group in 2018 to focus on acting. MYTEEN later disbanded in 2019.
2. He studied abroad
Lee TaeVin studied abroad in New Zealand for 2 years. He actually came back to Korea because he wanted to be an actor. However, his parents actually opposed the idea of him becoming one. As a result, he ended up getting a plane ticket without telling his parents and coming back.
3. He is very intelligent
The reason his parents opposed his dream to become an actor is because he is so intelligent. Lee TaeVin’s IQ is 142 but he shared in a recent interview that he actually hated studying in elementary school. He said that he did not study but would only look at the book the day before a test and still get full marks. Of course, because of that his parents wanted him to pursue something academic but the more that he studied, the more he realized that he didn’t enjoy it.
4. He almost had a BL acting role
If you watched “Penthouse: War In Life” you may know that Lee TaeVin’s character had a crush on the character Yoo JeNi (played by Jin JiHee). However, it was revealed that initially, he was romantically interested in the character Ju SeokHoon (played by Kim YoungDae) which would’ve justified the dislike he had for the character Bae RoNa (played by Kim HyeonSoo). This would’ve meant that he was in a BL love line, but in the end, his love interest was changed. There are a lot more things to know about rising actor Lee TaeVin and we can’t wait to see his career take off so that more people can learn them. Do you enjoy Lee TaeVin’s acting?
