Lee Jong-suk personally selects costumes and props for Disney+ series role

Actor Lee Jong-suk is gaining praise for his hands-on approach to his character Heinrey in 'The Remarried Empress', which includes commissioning idol stage costumes and selecting a blue rose for a ball scene to represent "unyielding love."

Actor Lee Jong-suk is receiving acclaim for personally overseeing everything from props to costumes for his character Heinrey in the Disney+ series 'The Remarried Empress'. On the 7th, an interview Lee conducted with the Japanese media outlet ORICON NEWS spread across online communities, in which he revealed that he personally suggested the blue rose that Heinrey presents to Navier during a ball. "I looked up the flower language and asked the props team to prepare it," Lee explained, adding, "Since blue roses have the meanings of 'unyielding love' and 'miracle,' I thought it might suit the scene better than a red rose."

Previously, on the YouTube channel 'Salon Drip' by 'TEO', released on the 3rd, Lee mentioned that he increased his use of accessories as filming progressed in an effort to express Heinrey's beautiful appearance. He also revealed that he drew inspiration from singer Lim Young-woong's concert costumes, searched for design drafts himself on Pinterest, and commissioned an idol stage costume manufacturer to produce them.

As these efforts became known, netizens reacted with comments such as, "Lee Jong-suk knows his job so well," "At first, I thought he wouldn't suit it best, but seeing how much effort he puts in, he looks like the best fit now," and "Being good at his main profession is the most likable thing." 'The Remarried Empress' consists of 10 episodes, with new episodes released every Wednesday.
