Actor Lee Je-hoon recently revealed his current status. On the 11th, Lee Je-hoon posted several photos on his personal channel. In the released photos, Lee Je-hoon is seen with his hands in his pockets, smiling faintly while looking at the camera against the backdrop of Namsan. Along with images of him filming a drama, he posed sending a heart to fans, conveying a friendly image. Additionally, in front of a gym promotional photo, he showed cuteness by making a ball heart and clenching his fist.

However, despite his bright appearance, some fans expressed concerns about the uncertain release schedule of tvN's "Second Signal." "Second Signal" was scheduled to be released in 2026, but its direction became uncertain due to Jo Jin-woong's retirement. On the 5th, Jo Jin-woong acknowledged his juvenile delinquency record and criminal history and announced his retirement. He played the central character Lee Jae-han in the "Signal" series, making the editing of "Signal 2" difficult.

On the 10th, Lee Je-hoon also posted several photos on SNS without comments. In the photos, he is dressed all in black, posing in various ways on a rooftop near Namsan Tower with the night view as the background. He attracted fans' attention by showing both a faint smile and a serious expression simultaneously. Photos also captured Lee Je-hoon seriously engaged in acting on the drama set.

Currently, Lee Je-hoon is starring in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Taxi Driver 3." He has already finished filming "Second Signal," the sequel to "Signal," which aired in 2016. This drama was specially planned to commemorate the 20th anniversary of tvN's launch, with Jo Jin-woong and Kim Hye-soo starring again as leads. The script was written by writer Kim Eun-hee.

Jo Jin-woong's retirement dealt a heavy blow to "Second Signal." Jo Jin-woong declared his retirement from the entertainment industry after his past criminal records, including assault and drunk driving, were revealed. This has significantly affected the release direction of the already filmed "Signal 2." Especially, the role of Lee Jae-han, played by Jo Jin-woong, is a core character in the series and cannot be replaced through editing. As a result, there have been suggestions to discard the filmed footage.

Despite these circumstances, Lee Je-hoon maintains a positive image while communicating with fans. He continues to engage with fans through his SNS and focuses on his drama activities. Fans express anticipation for Lee Je-hoon's future activities and are paying close attention to his next moves.

Lee Je-hoon's recent photo release served as an opportunity to inform fans that he is still actively working. However, the future release schedule of "Second Signal" remains uncertain, and discussions on this matter are expected to continue. Jo Jin-woong's retirement has also greatly impacted the drama's production team and actors, making further discussions on the future production direction necessary.

Lee Je-hoon is currently actively working on "Taxi Driver 3" and continues to communicate with fans. Expectations for his next work continue to rise.
