Source-derived summary

Lee Jun-ho (Korean: 이준호; born January 25, 1990), known mononymously as Junho, is a South Korean singer-songwriter and actor. He rose to prominence as a member of the South Korean boy band 2PM. Lee made his acting debut in the film Cold Eyes (2013) and has since appeared in films such as Twenty (2015), as well as notable television series such as Good Manager (2017), Rain or Shine (2017–2018), Confession (2019), King the Land (2023), Typhoon Family (2025), and Cashero (2025). His performance in The Red Sleeve (2021) earned him the Baeksang Arts Award for Best Actor. As a solo artist, Lee has released two studio albums, one compilation album and eight extended plays, achieving significant success in Japan.

Early life and education

Lee was inspired to pursue filmmaking after watching the film Shiri in elementary school. However, by the fourth grade, his interests had shifted toward acting. Although he initially enjoyed dancing and singing, he aspired to become an actor and subsequently enrolled in the drama program at Sewon High School. While in high school, Lee was active in the school's theater club and participated in various provincial and poetry competitions.

Lee attended Howon University in Gunsan, South Korea, where he completed his undergraduate studies. He later earned a master's degree in cinematography from Sejong University.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Lee Jun-ho” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jun-ho, South and Korean provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q488423. VIAF identifies the subject as 123150468243204171346. The Library of Congress control number is no2024022589. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2013, 2015 and 2017.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
