[NEWS] Viewers praise L’s acting abilities on ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band’

L of boy group INFINITE is captivating his TV audience.

L is showcasing his natural acting abilities in his current tvN drama, ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band(written by Seo Yoon Hee, directed by Lee Kwon). On the February 14th episode, L put on a very convincing performance. On the episode, L hurt his hand while running to attend a rock festival as he was almost hit by the car driving a singer, Kim Yerim. Despite his bloody hand, he made his best effort to put on a passionate performance on stage for the audience.

However, during the middle of the performance, he was stopped by the band’s leader who had seen his bloody hand and L had no choice but to walk off the stage that had been prepared in memory of their deceased friend, Byung Hee (Lee Minki).

After the show, L runs into Kim Yerim and it seems as though he is trying to suppress his anger and frustration that surface upon seeing her. Although she offers him an apology, he is extremely cold to her and brushes past her.

With his cold stare and natural acting abilities, L properly conveys the personality of his character, Lee Hyun Soo. His emotions were effectively delivered, and viewers who could sense his sincerity praised his acting skills. At the time the scene was being filmed, the staff members were blown away with his ability to focus.

“I think I started showing you Hyun Soo’s true colors from the 6th episode,” he said. “I studied up on a lot of things in order to shoot scenes on stage. Please look forward the story as it continues to unfold.”

Meanwhile, ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band’s is 16-episode mini series about the members of a high school rock band and their experiences with love and friendship. It airs every Monday and Tuesday at 11:00PM KST.

[NEWS] INFINITE’s L: “I am not a flower boy”

 

INFINITE’s L has been causing quite the stir with his recent statement, “I don’t think I’m a flower boy.”

On January 25th, L attended the press conference for his new tvN drama, ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band‘, at the CGV Cheongdam Cine City. During the conference, reporters asked L for his thoughts on his looks.

L laughed as he replied, “All of my fellow cast members are so handsome and beautiful that I don’t consider myself to be a flower boy.”

The answer raised some eyebrows, as L is known to be the ‘visual member’ of INFINITE. That reputation will live on through tvN’s ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band’, where L plays an extremely talented guitarist in the fictional pretty-boy band, ‘Eye Candy’.
L shyly confessed, “To be honest, shooting the scene was my first time playing an electric guitar.” He continued, “I will practice hard to show a more professional side for the drama” and “I will deliver a guitarist with a strong sense of character.”
This will be L’s first time acting in his home country (he previously made his acting debut in a Japanese production), and therefore, L expressed that he’s really anxious about the results.
L said, “The INFINITE members were all very concerned for me and asked me, ‘Do you think you can do it?’”
He continued, “The hyungs that I am working with in the drama have been a big help to me. I want to show a cool side of myself by working hard on my acting.”
L also revealed his thoughts about working with ‘Superstar K3’ contestant Kim Ye Rim. “First of all, I have never met Kim Ye Rim before. I am really curious though.” L continued with a laugh, “I’m looking forward to meeting her. I wonder what her personality is like, what she would say, and how she is going to approach me.”
In the drama, L will be involved in a love triangle with Yoo Min Kyu and Kim Ye Rim’s characters.
‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band’ will be about a high school rock band called Eye Candy, who are comprised of flower boys with rough personalities.  It is a passionate drama about youths’ experience with love, friendship and music; it will air its first episode on January 30th.

INFINITE‘s L will make his acting debut in a new drama, ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band‘.

The drama will air on cable channel tvN after the completion of ‘Flower Boy Ramyun Shop‘.

It will show the appeal of a rock band of young boys.”

The drama will air its pilot episode on January 30th. But check out the trailer in the meantime!
