Lee Jong-suk said in a recent interview that he tried to learn from other actors, such as Kim Woo-bin, Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Min-ho.

Lee Jong-suk, an actor who won the acclaim for his lead role in the SBS drama “Pinocchio,” told a local media outlet that he closely followed of other actors. Lee said he watched most of their dramas and tried to learn from them.

“I was slightly puzzled with the enormous popularity of ‘Pinocchio’ in China. As the drama features the lives of reporters, I didn’t regard it as very exciting,” the 25-year-old heartthrob said.

He added, “I was also surprised it has been viewed 10 billion times on Youku Tudou.”

Lee, however, dodged the question when asked about his advantages over fellow actors, saying “That is a tough question.”

Lee has been catching up with the delayed schedules since the end of the hit series.
