FOR

LEE JOON GI

AND

SBS’ AGAIN MY LIFE

Not many actors receive as much overwhelming love and support from their fans as Lee Joon Gi has for the past 17 years. Truth be told, none can compare with the inimitable multihyphenate (actor-singer-dancer-martial artist) global superstar. Lee’s popularity among his fans has stood the test of time. They have always stood by the 40-year-old megastar and supported him through thick and thin since The King and The Clown, the movie that had led to the upsurge in his popularity and fame. For the Again My Life Production Presentation or Press Conference on 5 April, the press must have been impressed by the avalanche of enthusiastic well-wishes and ‘rice wreaths’ (fan rice) of his local and global fans in the lobby of the SBS building. The expressions of fan support are a testament to his enduring popularity and fame. Again My Life premieres on 8 April 2022.

For those who are new global admirers, they would be surprised to discover that every important event like Christmas, the actor’s birthday or a new project is normally celebrated with good wishes, gifts, video-based advertisements or charity works (carried out in his name). Many fans, like in a big family, derive much pleasure and fun when they interact with their global counterparts in such activities. Unsurprisingly, for his latest drama, Again My Life, Lee’s fans from 39 countries have shown their love by sending coffee truck support, catered food support and special gifts to him, his co-stars, his own team and the production team. They have also organised advertisement support in subway stations and along roads etc. And, for the production presentation (Press Conference) they sent him congratulatory Rice Wreaths (Fan Rice). All these activities run in conjunction with this birthday which falls on 17 April.

Lee’s captivating new pose, The Tiger pose, drew attention and brought smiles of approval to every face. Tiger Kim Hee Woo’s greeting will soon usher in Kim Hee Woo Tigermania in the Kdrama global kingdom.

As usual, Lee Joon Gi looked dashing in his tan suit jacket which he matched with a black round-neck long-sleeve shirt and black pants. Apart from his gorgeous youthful looks, what stood out was the unusual shape of his belt buckle. A triangle. It has been revealed that the expensive triangle buckle belt is from Bottega Veneta. Kim Ji Eun’s tiny band belt which encircled her waist coincidentally had a geometric shape - a circle.

Are the actors' choice of fashion accessories influenced by their drama? In the Again My Life first episode trailer, the fighting ring has 3 geometric shapes: Circle, Square and Triangle. The athletic Kim Hee Woo, portrayed by Lee Joon Gi, will showcase his genius and his martial arts skills, while Kim Hee Ah, another genius played by Kim Ji Eun, will amaze the audience with her exceptional intellectual abilities. Japanese Zen philosophy teaches that the body should be triangular as the triangle represents the generation of energy, and the mind should be circular as the circle symbolizes serenity and perfection, the source of unlimited techniques.

The Production Presentation or Press Conference was attended by Lee Joon Gi, Kim Ji Eun, Jung Sang Hoon, Kim Jae Kyung and Director Han Chul Soo.

Interesting questions were posed and many of the responses were amusing and entertaining. SBS, the emcee, the Again My Life director and actors have to take credit for the the success of of the production presentation. But, one of the MC's assuptions about Born Again is wrong.

The MC mentions that Kim Hee Woo is not Born Again. It reminds us of Lee’s song, Born Again. The words can have many meanings. Some people have a very narrow interpretation of the words; they are obviously mistaken. The words do not necessarily refer to reincarnation and being born again as a baby.

Born Again means ‘newly converted to and very enthusiastic about an idea or cause’. Kim Hee Woo, after his death experience, is changed and understands that his old methods of dealing with corruption is untenable. He is convinced that to topple the corrupt and evil powers-that-be, he must imbibe new strategies and adopt a new attitude. He changes and is, thus, Born Again

Director Han Chul Soo emphasized that Lee Joon Gi is the best and only choice for the role of Kim Hee Woo in Again My Life. He was obsessed with the idea that Lee Joon Gi was the right actor for the lead role and had refused to give up even when Lee rejected his offer the first time round. The director is not only impressed with Lee Joon Gi's brilliant on set performance for the past six months but also with his impeccable manners and congenial personality. 'Because of him we have so much fun on the set.' Lee's spectacular screen presence, good working attitude, positive personal attributes and enthusiastic on-set influence must have convinced the director that he has made the right choice in casting him for the role. There was loud applause from the press.

Jung Sang Hoon heartily agreed with the director, 'Joongi really makes the environment conducive to filming.' He also added that Lee Joon Gi not only has a nice personality but also good acting skills. He treats people sincerely. Jung was surprised that his co-star seems to have everything.

Lee Joon Gi seems to have amazing chemistry with his co-stars. Bromance (and not just romance) can be expected. Jung Sang Hoon vouched for Lee's sparkling wit and quick mind. With typical modesty, Lee down played the praise and approval. In a moment of candour, he divulged Jung's interesting character, whose company he greatly appreciates. Both actors gushed with enthusiasm when they made complimentary remarks about each other.

It is interesting to note that the story of Again My Life, which is told through Kim Hee Woo, is filled with geniuses: Kim Hee Woo, Kim Hee Ah and Lee Min Soo.

When Lee Joon Gi was questioned about his source of energy, he revealed his secret - Red Ginseng. Having been so enthusiastic about the powerful herb for more than 7 years, the athletic superstar who is full of vitality and energy is practically a fitting advertisement for South Korea’s important export. Red Ginseng companies should make him their brand ambassador.

The emcee touched on the topic of Lee Joon Gi's youthfulness and how the stills of Kim Hee Woo's youthful looks have gone viral on the Internet.

Kim Ji Eun also shared her opinion on Lee: An all-rounder who is well-balanced and even does his own stunts. He is always brimming with energy. A hardworking actor. An energizer. A genuinely happy person. In fact, he is the happiest person on the set.

Everyone came away from the SBS production presentation with the idea that Lee Joon Gi is the perfect human being - a model citizen, great person, worker, friend and colleague. The conclusion is Lee Joon Gi is an exemplary person who is the Perfect Role Model for young people all over the world.

After the press meeting, the megastar took pictures with Jung Sang Hoon and also his two gorgeous female co-stars. Lee and Kim Ji Eun look super cute together. But, viewers cannot help but notice that the handsome actor and Kim Jae Kyung, who is also from Namoo Actors, were wearing clothes of matching colours.

Viewers have to give up all pretense of indifference towards the pairings. Excitement is in the air. We wonder which lady would win the heart of Kim Hee Woo.
