Lee Jun-ho (Korean이준호; born January 25, 1990), known mononymously as Junho, is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member of the South Korean boy band 2PM. Lee made his acting debut in the film Cold Eyes (2013), and since then he has starred in notable television series such as Good Manager (2017), Rain or Shine (2017–2018), King the Land (2023). His performance in The Red Sleeve (2021) earned him the Best Actor Award – Television at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards.

Early life and education

[edit]

In 2006, Lee first gained public attention when he won Superstar Survival. The show started with twelve teenage competitors and, as the weeks went on, they were eliminated one by one until three were left. The process followed a similar style to that of the reality show Survivor. Lee signed a contract with JYP Entertainment after winning the contest, placing first out of 6,500 competitors. Future 2PM bandmates Taecyeon and Chansung also competed.[2]

Lee participated in an undergraduate programme at Howon University located in Gunsan, South Korea, with his bandmates Chansung and Wooyoung.[3][4] Furthermore, he, alongside Chansung, attained a master's degree in cinematography from Sejong University.[5]
