When people first meet the easiest and surest way to lay the foundations for warm mutual understanding is sharing a nice meal. The same is true in diplomacy.
Then what moves people most when there is a lack of common understanding or when hostility and antagonism prevails?

Lee Hyun Jae's 10asia Interview
2012-03-16 06:15 pm
Good-looking face, talented musicianship and strong fist. To be honest, tvN's "Shut Up and Let's Go" is a drama that is more close to a fantasy of a boy than a story from a young woman's diary. Especially Jang Doyle, a talented drummer with a mysterious character whose dad is a gangster, suits perfectly with every young man's hidden fantasy. But the moment Lee Hyun-jae, who is unrealistically handsome, starts to act out Jang, the character becomes every girl's mcdreamy. During his interview with 10Asia, Lee, who concurrently holds the title of the band MATE drummer, commercial model and a rookie actor, he said, "I like being called drummer (laugh). What I do in my 20s will all be fruitful experiences in life. As long as I can keep my integrity and focus on doing music, I hope to try different things as much as possible." Only 25, Lee seemed to know how to communicate with people and he truly was the ideal man whom girls dream of.
