[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box] You Already Knew Lee Hyo-je! 'If Wishes Could Kill' Lee Hyo-je

I am curious about people. Even if someone is already a noticed actor, today may be the least famous they'll ever be. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box' introduces actors who are reaching new highs by the day. Treat these 'soaring stocks' as 'buy-the-dip' opportunities.
The first time I saw Lee Hyo-je, or rather the first time I 'mistook' that I had seen him, was at a small theater. Earlier this year, Lee Hyo-je took the stage as the character Gi Ho-tae in the youth troupe Bu-eong Waltz's play 〈Escape from Reality〉.
