Hosted by popular comedian Danilo Gentili, 'The Noite' has been highly popular in Brazil since its first broadcast in 2014. The show has featured numerous global stars, including Keanu Reeves, M. Night Shyamalan, Josh Hartnett, Tom Holland, and Hugh Jackman.
Lee Jun-ho, who held his fan concert '2025 Lee Jun-ho Fan Con in Sao Paulo - Midnight Sun' in Sao Paulo on the 1st and 2nd, shared his thoughts on the concert, his activities as a singer and actor, and his new projects on the talk show, connecting with local fans.
Appearing with an introduction from host Danilo Gentili, Lee Jun-ho greeted the audience in Portuguese and expressed his impressions of his first visit to Brazil, saying, "I heard that Brazil is a beautiful and passionate place, and I was happy to receive a warm welcome at the airport and the concert hall." He also shared an episode of tasting the traditional Brazilian dish churrasco and enjoyed a special time prepared for him, who loves ice cream, creating a friendly atmosphere with the viewers.
Lee Jun-ho gained worldwide popularity with his lead role in the JTBC drama 'King the Land', which topped the Netflix Global Top 10 website's TV (Non-English) category three times and ranked first in 21 regions, including Brazil.

Lee Jun-ho revealed his passion for acting, sharing stories of losing 16kg for a role and blocking sunlight while living to portray a lonely character who had experienced an accident. He also added, "I shot the scene of firing a fire arrow in 'The Red Sleeve' without a stunt double. I thought it would be more natural and realistic to act it out myself."
Having successfully completed his fan concert tour with 8 performances in 4 regions both domestically and internationally, Lee Jun-ho is set to have a busy year as an actor. He will show a variety of acting transformations, playing the role of Kang Sang-woong, a life-friendly hero in the Netflix series 'Cashero', and Kang Tae-poong, a young man facing the 1997 IMF crisis in the new tvN drama 'Tai Poong Company'.
