In this 2021 Christmas season, Lee Joon Gi’s global fans have
cornered the yuletide market by buying up the vast array of Christmas and New
Year 2022 greetings and gifts for their beloved actor. They have almost
monopolised the market of festive gifts and greetings in the showbusiness world. The fans have joyously greeted the actor and wished him a blessed, healthy, prosperous, happy and rewarding year ahead. Many have
serenaded him with self-made videos of loving songs including Lee’s very own
Christmas song, ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’. In actual fact, the
global fans of the top Hallyu superstar have individually and collectively
presented the multihyphenate superstar with many gifts from the beginning of
the year; their various ways of showering the actor with love are ingenious.
Every year especially at the year end, all sorts of organizations
try to promote their most favoured star with Popularity Awards or other awards.
There is no proof of the popularity or real achievements of certain stars and superstars except for the purported ‘votes
of fans’ or dubious opinions of showbusiness ‘experts’. These are tell-tale
signs that probably prejudice exists in the showbusiness world and it is to the
detriment of stars who deserve awards. Popularity awards and other awards can be easily bought
nowadays. The voting system may be rigged by powerful bosses and such awards are
frauds. There is also a lot of manipulation in the giving of acting awards. The
so-called drama experts, business insiders and drama judges who
are biased dominate the award system. Such foul play triggers the shock, doubt and
suspicion of the global audience who can only watch with mouths agape.
No doubt about it - the passionate love of Lee’s global fans is genuine
proof of his popularity around the world. He has other achievements to show. And the biased media and netizens should sit
up and take note of all of them.

Lee Joon Gi, the multi-talented Asian icon, shared some interesting changes in the way he perceives acting in his Haru Hana 2021 Autumn interview. Lee has held the world audience captive with his tour de force performance in the masterpiece, Flower of Evil, which has soared to the top of television in 2020. The global adulation and accolades that Lee, his castmates and the production staff of Flower of Evil have received far exceeded those for other television series. The television series in which he portrayed Do Hyun Su, a psychopathic character, could be viewed as another major turning point in Lee’s career.
Paik’s Spirit, the six-segment Netflix original talk show hosted by Paik Jong-won, features a rich crop of South Korean celebrities including international award-winning actor Lee Joon Gi, top variety show producer Na Young-seok, beautiful actors Kim Hee-ae and Han Ji-Min; star volleyball player Kim Yeon-koung; and popular rappers, Jay Park and Loco. Paik, together with his celebrity guests, takes the viewers on a journey into a new dimension of traditional Korean liquor, culinary delights, compelling personal stories and Korean myths. The impression one gets from the show is that like most Koreans, the celebrity’s drink of choice is soju, a spirit made from rice.

It is unquestionable that Paik Jong-won has pulled off a coup by inviting Asia’s golden boy, Lee Joon Gi whose segment, by far, is the most interesting and informative and is worth waiting for. The globally famous multihyphenate megastar who has received many international awards including those from China, USA, Taiwan, Japan and Singapore, has given stunning performances in his television serials including Flower of Evil (2020), Lawless Lawyer (2018) and Moon Lovers-Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016).

The slight intermittent blackouts caused by the massive traffic overload, however did not interfere with the audience’s obvious enjoyment of the show as Naver was well-prepared and handled the situation admirably. The studio was adorned with colourful birthday decorations. There was even a cute plastic piece that looked like a cake with candles.
The huge excitement and interest generated by Lee Joon Gi’s presence in the show became considerably feverish when his good friend, Lee Ji Eun (IU), made a surprising 'visit' to celebrate the occasion with him.

It isn't surprising that some biased media are suspected of shortchanging the truth when it comes to certain Asian drama productions. They would downplay what they should highlight but shine a spotlight on those that they shouldn’t. But fortunately, the French StellarSis Awards 2021’s nod of approval of Lee Joon Gi and Moon Chae Won, the leading actors of the 2020 suspense-melodrama masterpiece, Flower of Evil, is a raison de célébrer, a cause for celebration.
Lee Joon Gi, who plays Do Hyun Soo-Baek Hee Sung, one of the best characters ever written for television, is the Meilleur Acteur or Best Actor while Moon Chae Won is the Meilleur Actrice or Best Actress for her role as Cha Ji Won, a homicide detective. Other than the prestigious wins, Kim Ji Hoon, who has a special mention for Meilleur Mechant or Best Villain, has impressed the audience with his portrayal of the real Baek Hee Sung, a disorganised killer in Flower of Evil.
For the discerning viewers of television dramas all over the world, the combination of awesome direction, stellar leading actors and cast, quality scriptwriting, good editing, beautiful OSTs, brilliant cinematography and other wonderful aspects of production is hard to resist.

Being the first of its kind, it is an intriguing contradiction in terms of genres as suspense and melodrama are polar opposites.
Lee Joon Gi's status as the foremost actor in South Korea has been permanently and effectively cemented after he was named the 2020 ICON (Drama) by Cultura, the prestigious South Korean magazine for the arts and culture for his impressive performance in Flower of Evil. Lee, Moon Chae Won, his leading lady, who plays his screen wife; Kim Cheol-Kyu, the director, and Yoo Jung-Hee, the scriptwriter, have been lauded many times over for the triumph of the 16-episode drama.
