On the 23rd, Lee Joo Seung posted several photos taken with Chun Woo-hee on his social media. The released photos feature a side-by-side comparison of the two wearing white hoodies and black hats while making V-signs back in 2018, and a recent photo taken with the same composition and pose eight years later. Along with the photos, Lee Joo Seung wrote, "The vibe of a photo from around the 'The Chaser' premiere in 2008," and "The loyal woman who rushed straight to the 'The Murderer's Neighbor' special premiere, frozen human Chun Woo-hee special."

The bond between the two is deep. In May 2023, they revealed they were close friends of 10 years by appearing together on the MBC variety show 'I Live Alone.'

Fans expressed their joy at their unchanging visuals, calling them 'preservative beauty' as if the eight years had never passed.

Lee Joo Seung's winning record shines as he donates the entire 100 million won prize

Lee Joo Seung took first place in the short drama director survival program 'Director's Arena.' This program, which featured director Lee Byung-hun, actors Cha Tae-hyun and Jang Keun-suk, and MC Jang Do-yeon as judges, was held for two months starting last May. Lee Joo Seung proved his talent with 'The Murderer's Neighbor,' where he served as the screenwriter, director, and lead actor. The work is a crime thriller dealing with the desire and guilt of a thriller writer who becomes an accomplice to a serial murder crime.

This decision follows the wishes of his grandfather, who always emphasized the spirit of donation. This survival program, planned and produced by Epixstorm, saw competition among everyone from active actors to drama PDs, and Lee Joo Seung ultimately seized both the honor of the final victory and the prize money.
