In the Netflix series 'True Education' (script by Lee Nam-gyu, Kim Da-hee, Moon Jong-ho; directed by Hong Jong-chan), which was released on the 5th, Lee Bong-jun delivered a powerful performance as Jo Gyu-cheol, a parolee who re-enrolled at Jinwon High School.

I will strive to become an actor who can always deliver good performances, wherever and whenever."
