Actor Lee Jun-hyuk is set to reveal a range of unexpected talents that have gone largely unnoticed until now.

Hwang Seok-jeong, Lee Jun-hyuk, Seo Eun-kwang and Yoo Young-woo are scheduled to appear on MBC's "Radio Star," airing Wednesday.

Lee, who has been keeping busy across both film and drama series, will share updates on his reputation as a prolific actor.

Lee earned the title of a "10-million-ticket actor" through the film "The King's Warden," but he says something made him even happier than the film's box-office success — seeing director Jang Hang-jun, a longtime friend and collaborator, receive wider recognition for his filmmaking abilities.

Lee said he and Jang have known each other since their theater days, and reflected on the time they spent together back then. "I already knew all along, but I was so happy that the whole world got to find out too," he said, expressing deep affection for the director.

Lee's other hidden talents will also come to light. Having practiced mime for many years, he said he personally taught the art form to fellow actors including Yoon Park, Kim Dong-wook and Song Joong-ki. He also treated the studio audience to an impromptu mime performance — from pumping motions to balloon work — capping it off with an unexpectedly charming personal trick.

Lee then unveiled yet another surprise: a talent for photography. He said he has long had a passion for the art, drawn in by the appeal of capturing fleeting moments on a busy film set. He stunned everyone by disclosing that he has handled still photography on productions he appeared in, published a photo book and even held his own photography exhibition.
