Moreover, the actor already hinted at his growth in an interview with My Daily before joining the army. At that time, Lee Do-hyun said, “I’ve wanted to enlist since a long time ago. It’s the place where I can meet various people from many places in our country. I think I can gain more experiences from socializing with them and make it a stepping stone for my acting in the future”.

He continued, “I’ve been acting without resting for 4-5 years and learned a lot from the strengths of others, but I did not have any opportunity to develop myself. In fact, I want to get rid of my young image and transform into a muscular actor after serving in the military. I also want to gain weight and lose weight to see how my face changes so that I cant play various characters after getting discharged”. 

Known as a passionate actor who knows nothing aside from acting, Lee Do-hyun is raising expectations for his future moves after his military discharge.
