LEE JOON GI A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS Have you ever entertained the idea for a brief millisecond that Lee Joon Gi is not your typical South Korean star? If you have, you are no different from his millions of fans. Lee is not cut from the same cloth as the other popular actors. Unlike others, Lee is different. Lee is an achiever, a man of action, forever busy in projects and is considered a titan in the Kdrama, Kmovie and Kentertainment industry. Fans remark that Lee, although an actor of many talents and achievements, is a genuine person. He is, as they say, ‘A Man For All Seasons’.  Lee Joon Gi has certain traits, attitudes and accomplishments that set him above the rest. He is a passionate, diligent, goal-oriented and high energy actor. It is true that he had astronomical success with his movie, The King and the Clown. That was the time that he entered public consciousness. Lee’s meteoric rise might have seemed accidental but since then, he had forged ahead and proven himself again and again to be the best over the years. His experiences have given him time to define his essence, of who he is. Lee Joon Gi is an actor of solid conviction, focussed on his goals and his acting choices. When he was offered the gender-bender role of the effeminate clown, many tried to dissuade him from accepting the offer. His decision is history and he has found that the acting and entertainment industry is his true calling. Having made headlines for his many awards and achievements in many different fields, including dramas, movies, modelling, singing, dancing and others, Lee has not slowed down. Lee has been involved in many foreign movies like Hotel Venus (Japanese), Virgin Snow (Korean-Japanese), Never Said Goodbye (Chinese) and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (North American).  The many awards presented to him for his many projects in the various fields throughout his decade-long career is the proof that Lee has a many splendoured career. It is not surprising that he, being the amazing man that he is, had also been presented with several awards during his term of mandatory military service, an arena that few actors excel in. Imagine that.

It is all happening now especially with the franchise, Resident Evil. His latest drama, Moon Lovers – Scarlet Heart: Ryeo is overwhelmingly successful in the global sphere. Some may say that he has charmed his audience into docility but it is absolutely not true as least not at the moment. In fact, Lee Joon Gi’s charisma and magnetism in that drama has driven his ever-increasing number of fans, male and female, crazy and wild based on the stream of passionate comments that have exploded across the Internet. The drama is so wildly successful that the audience even demand a second season.     20161103 Showbiz Korea CELEB-O-METER! Lee Joon Gi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbK1PLw_-BY Most importantly, what separates him from the rest is that he invests in his fans, an investment that proves fruitful and beneficial. Success does not mean only tangible things. As much a sterling actor as he is, Lee Joon Gi is full of surprises – like a chocolate box. His Instagram is proof of that. The rule of thumb is he gives his talents back by entertaining his enthusiastic fans, humouring them and making them happy through his steady stream of sometimes hilarious Instagram posts. His sunshine personality, his upbeat and good-natured friendliness shine through in the posts. His ingenious ability to entertain fans and put a smile on their faces is innate. He also has fan meets and he often listens to his fans’ opinions. Lee’s warm and genuine attitude towards all his fans, young and old, has made him the most loved and most popular South Korean star. Lee also considers his co-stars and the people he is working with to be important.  LEE JOON GI SHOWS RESPECT FOR SENIOR CO-STAR Respect: Lee greets an older co-star http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c_fg4DnPYQ He has risen through the ranks and gained fame and popularity with lots of experiences to share. Having been exposed to the competitive and challenging environment – a harsh master, Lee had to learn fast. Now he is giving back to society and paying his dues by guiding those who are much younger than him. He shares with them his experiences and his mistakes. Those lessons on life cannot be taught in a brick-and-mortar classroom but in the open entertainment field. He also energises and makes life fun for his costars by his warm smiles, big heart and generous praises during their drama shoots. The forward-thinking approach makes him different and has added to his appeal.

(*What does the meteorological calendar say? Winter always starts on 1 December. If Seoul gets its first snow of the year in November, then it should be Winter, since snow means winter. The weather is unpredictable. Winter starts differently in different places.)
