Lee Jun-ho in Talks to Join 'Veteran 3' Amidst Series' Popularity

Actor Lee Jun-ho is positively considering an offer to appear in the upcoming film 'Veteran 3,' sparking excitement among fans.

An official from Lee Jun-ho's agency revealed to OSEN on the 11th, "We have received a casting proposal from the 'Veteran 3' production team and are currently reviewing it favorably."

The 'Veteran' series, known for its thrilling action depicting Detective Seo Do-cheol (Hwang Jung-min) battling powerful criminal organizations, first captivated audiences in 2015, drawing over 10 million viewers. 'Veteran 2,' released nine years later, also proved the franchise's enduring appeal by attracting 7.52 million moviegoers.

Following Yoo Ah-in's impactful villain role in the first installment and Jung Hae-in's compelling antagonist in the second, Lee Jun-ho's potential casting as a new villain in 'Veteran 3' has generated significant anticipation for his character.

Furthermore, the post-credit scene in 'Veteran 2,' hinting at the escape of Park Sun-woo (played by Jung Hae-in), raises questions about how the new installment's storyline might connect with this development and Lee Jun-ho's role.

Lee Jun-ho is currently starring in the tvN weekend drama 'Typed In Time' (working title) and has confirmed his next project will be the Netflix series 'Cashero.'

Korean netizens are reacting enthusiastically, with comments like "If it's Lee Jun-ho, I'm really looking forward to it," and "The 'Veteran' series is so fun! Is the lineup crazy with Hwang Jung-min, Jung Hae-in, and Lee Jun-ho?"
