It unsurprising if he is also seen as The Role Model for young people all over the world.

Not so long ago, Kim Jae Kyung, one of Lee’s co-stars in Again My Life, confessed that he is her role model on the television programme, Heo Young Man’s Food Travel. Earlier in a print media interview, she also sang praises of the multihyphenate.
  
‘I was impressed by Lee Joon-gi’s attitude on set, how energetic he was and his positive ways of connecting with every staff member.’ ‘[I find admirable] his ways of interpreting and performing certain scenes, his action stunts and his attitude on set.’ ‘When watching firsthand Lee Joon-gi perform his stunts, I realized these scenes are created with such enormous effort. That’s why I want to try action as well. I have lots of time to live as an actor, so I want to try all of them.’

 ‘He doesn't have anything, so he's a learner with a lot to contain. If I let other actors die, Lee Joon-gi made me die even more.’    ‘Lee Joon-gi of 《The King of Kings》 tried to cut bones to satisfy the expectations that were given to him. He was a real protagonist. He was twenty-four years old at the time, and he must have been under a lot of pressure. It was amazing how he tried not to disappoint people. The reason why Lee Joon-gi's role was loved was because of the different attitude, attitude, and essence of the film.’

DIRECTOR CHOI JONG -TAE FLY DADDY FLY (2006)
‘You have to meet Lee Joon-gi in person. Because it's truth. That sincerity convinces people, so I think that's the biggest attraction for Lee Joon-gi.’  DIRECTOR KIM JI- HOON MAY 18 (2007)
 ‘When Lee Joon-gi received the script, he showed great interest. And he said that he wanted to appear in the appearances of senior actors such as Ahn Sung-ki, Lee Yo-won, and Kim Sang-kyung. In particular, he said that he would do it unconditionally when Ahn Sung-ki sunbaenim appeared. humbly, regardless of the quantity. I wondered what would happen if I called for a lot of money, but I was grateful to Lee Joon-gi for his humble appearance fee, modest schedule, and modest amount of food. During the filming, Lee Joon-gi's fans bought snacks to cover the appearance fee.’ PD KIM JIN-MIN
TIME BETWEEN DOGS AND WOLF (2007)
LAWLESS LAWYER (2018)   ‘Lee Joon-gi accepts anything and makes it his own, and then changes the scene. He deserves to be a 'star who knows how to act'.’
     
‘How has Lee Joon-gi changed? So, when I met him back then (11 years ago), I still have the impression that Lee Joon-gi is someone who is really passionate about something. I think that attitude and passion have not changed since then and now.
The part that has changed now is, 'I have become a very flexible person.' And he 'became an actor who knows how to listen to other people and can handle it in his own way.' So he felt a lot of growth. Also, in the meantime, he became a huge star. Nevertheless, on the set, seeing how he always takes care of the staff and other actors, I thought, 'Oh, there's a reason why that person lasts so long.’
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIYtsnGfcrk   'Lee Joon-gi basically has a passion for acting. I watched the strictness of the profession of acting, the serious attitude to approach it, and how much effort you put into it. He is still hungry for acting. He will continue to push the limits. It is rare to find an actor who uses his body like Lee Joon-gi to act. He considers it his pride to do it on his own without using a double as much as possible. He has the ability to do it too. He won't be any less than Tom Cruise.'
‘11 years ago, Lee Joon-gi's expression style was so passionate that I thought a lot about how beautiful he was when he looked at it. I thought that a young male actor could work so hard. Now, he is said to have moved on and off the set by adding skill to his passion.’

https://popseoul.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/lee-junki-plans-to-hold-episode-2/
 
‘Lee Joon-gi is the first actor to work with a male lead. he thinks he did well In fact, the current Lee Joon-gi is closer to him. So he must have had a lot to carry. Lee Joon-gi was always sincere and healthy. His attitude towards acting went much deeper. I don't know if my thirst for acting has been quenched this time. I wonder if Lee Joon-gi ('Lawless Lawyer') was a point in moving to another chapter. Lee Joon-gi is living his life as an actor. I hope the work you did with me on that point was helpful. Other than that, there is nothing to wish for.’

PD LEE YONG-SEOK ILJIMAE (2008)   ‘I learned a lot from Lee Joon-gi. Unlike other actors of his age, he is passionate, smart, and greedy. I think he's the only clown who has both the qualities of a star and an actor. He could be better.’   
YOO SANG-WON CP JOSEON GUNMAN (2014) FLOWER OF EVIL (2020)
‘We worked together in The Joseon Gunman and we met again this time, and even then and now, the energy, force, and posture are very good. Even the other actors and staff are full of energy. He is an energizer-like actor.

DIRECTOR KIM GYU-TAE PRODUCTION DIRECTOR MOON LOVERS-SCARLET HEART RYEO (2016)  ‘Lee Joon-gi is a proven
actor. As it was my first time doing a historical drama, I joked that I
would learn a few things from Lee Joon-gi, but as I have done a lot of
historical dramas, I worked hard to show a mature acting tone and
acting. There is a feeling that he is an active volcano-like
actor. The energy that comes out is huge, and how each actor is different,
but Lee Joon-gi is an actor who plays a thrilling performance. He is an
actor who can see when he is spewing out because he has a tremendous amount of
instantaneous concentration and immersion by nature, and he has strong
uncontrollable energy.’
DIRECTOR KIM CHEOL-GYU FLOWER OF EVIL (2020)
 I felt it again this time. Above all else, there is something that makes the opponent stand out. Chaewon Moon, Hyunwoo Seo, etc. make the actors who are attached to it stand out.’
‘The character Do Hyeon-soo needed to simultaneously possess the
images of two opposite extremes: cold and warm, soft and sharp, intimacy and
difficult to approach. Jun-gi judged that he was an actor who perfectly
met the conditions, so he proposed without hesitation.’
‘The whole fishing ground scene in episode 5 and the ending at
the cliff in episode 15 are the most memorable. They were scenes that
required tremendous energy and concentration, but the actors and staff showed
their best abilities, so it seems that the scene was completed more impressive
than expected. In particular, Lee Joon-gi's tears and screams, who did his
best, seem to be remembered for a long time.’
 Lee Joon Gi's Flower of Evil has given birth to 2 successful adaptations, the Pinoy Flower of Evil and India’s Flower of Evil, Duranga. Only successful shows of quality are adapted. No other actor has such success. It is a historic occasion for South Korea that Flower of Evil is the FIRST Indian adaptation.
DIRECTOR HAN CHUL-SOO AGAIN MY LIFE (2022)    
‘Actor Lee Joon-gi was a wonderful actor and a reliable colleague he could rely on throughout the work. He always made a scene that could have been heavy as a pleasant and enjoyable playground, and he was like a thousand-gun manma who constantly communicated to verify the exact direction of his acting.’

Actually, acting in court is a huge burden for an actor, but it's even more difficult because there's action. Even if one is good, one gets recognized, but I wondered if there was an actor who was good at both. As a result, “Lawless Lawyer” was possible because of Lee Joon-gi. Lee Joon-gi did two things perfectly well.’

It was also good that coolness and beauty were balanced, and compassion was elicited with dignity.'   https://twitter.com/i/status/1457904661336313859 'When I first met Lee Joon-gi, we talked a lot about this work, but I thought that Lee Jun-gi's eyes at that time were really shining and he had a childish expression. She felt that the way she worked on her work was really pure. The way she thinks she loves her work more than any words is memorable. According to his ambitious appearance, I was happy too, and I wanted to see Hyunsoo on TV even for one day.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skx5iIOYZfU&t=30s
 
Philippine and Indian Adaptations 
WRITER LEE HAE-NAL AGAIN MY LIFE (2022)    'Some writers think of actors and write about them, but I'm not specific. Rather, it was the first time I thought of that while watching this drama. The character Kim Hee-woo cannot be done without actor Lee Joon-gi.’
‘In order to play Kim Hee-woo, you have to play from high school students to adults, but Lee Joon-gi is an actor who can do that. I've met actor Lee Joon-gi twice, and he was really cool.’
‘Even if you listen to the stories of the staff, they say that the actor's real personality is really good. If you watch a drama, almost 99% of it is only Hee-woo, so there are a lot of lines and actions to digest, so you may frown, but instead, actor Lee Joon-gi said that he should shoot more. I thought he was a real professional, and I really became a fan.'

WRITER YOO JUNG-SOO AGAIN MY LIFE (2022)   'I was worried about Lee Joon-gi's overwhelming amount, but seeing him happily lead the set with the director, I thought that he was a great actor, not only in acting but also in character. He was an irreplaceable actor to the extent that Kim Hee-woo seemed to be reincarnated in the play. He became a fan of Lee Joon-gi while doing 'Again My Life' and will continue to support him in the future.’
https://kbizoom.com/again-my-life-writers-we-trusted-lee-joon-gi-100/
  WRITER KIM YU-RI (AGAIN MY LIFE)
'After watching the last episode, I said this to actor Lee Joon-gi. I can't imagine Kim Hee-woo rather than Lee Joon-gi. He is an actor who has digested the character beyond perfection. The passion for the work was so great that it made me reflect on myself as an artist. When the writer trusts the actor, the script tends to have more vitality, and in that respect, I think I trusted the actor Lee Joon-gi 100%.'

LAWLESS LAWYER (2018)
AGAIN MY LIFE (2020) 'Lee Joon-gi is a friend who is very greedy for action. He even went up to 20 takes for a single scene as he continued to say let's take one more shot. He always calls first before shooting an action scene. In that scene, he first talks and discusses the movements he has thought of and the movements he wants to try.'
'The actions Lee Joon-gi shows are often difficult for ordinary actors to do. In fact, it is as good as a professional stunt to the extent that it is not inferior to even entering an action school. He has everything from kicks, hand movements, body movements, and mastery, and he has the ability to control himself as he gets used to his body after a few tries. He is an actor that all martial arts directors want to do an action shoot with.'

 https://twitter.com/i/status/1532298707147927553 MARTIAL ARTS DIRECTOR HAN JEONG-WOOK JOSEON GUNMAN (2014)  
'All of Korea's top stars do their best in action. But this is the first time for an actor like Lee Joon-gi. Lee Joon-gi comes to the set with all the action moves in mind. He rehearses the moves he can do best in advance and gives his opinions on the spot. He has a lot of lines to memorize and has a tight schedule, but he puts his heart and soul into his actions. Except for a small part, he is digesting all the scenes himself. Many techniques such as round kick and back kick are as good as action actors. Since we always present various opinions, we consider ourselves to be the 'youngest' martial arts director.'
ACTOR GAM WOO -SUNG THE KING AND THE CLOWN (2005)  'After the audition for the role of 'Gong-gil', I recommended another rookie besides Lee Joon-gi. However, after starting filming, watching Joon-gi's fierce acting, I realized that the director's choice was right.'
  
ACTOR KIM GAP-SOO TIME BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF (2007)   ‘You can probably become a good actor. Work hard. I will continue to watch over you in the future’.
ACTOR AHN SUNG -KI MAY 18 (2007)    ‘You prepare too much. He is a true friend both as human Lee Joon-gi and as actor Lee Joon-gi.’
  
ACTOR LEE MOON-SIK ILJIMAE (2008)   ‘Lee Joon-gi is an actor without bubbles. I think his popularity will last a long time. People can change when his popularity suddenly rises, but Lee Joon-gi is a polite and passionate actor.’ ACTOR AHN GIL-KANG ILJIMAE (2008)  
‘Before I met actor Lee Joon-gi in person, my image wasn't very good. Because this floor is a place with a lot of talk, I don't hear only good things about it. But when I hit it, it wasn't at all. He was a friend who was very passionate, greedy for acting, and had everything an actor should have. Among young people these days, there are a lot of friends who think acting is easy, but that's not the case at all. 'He's a really good actor'. ‘Lee Joon-gi is a very smart friend in every way, including acting. He is an actor who knows how to digest a work and what to do.’

‘The most memorable disciple is Lee Joon-gi. Lee Joon-gi had a special passion for dancing. He's expressive when he's dancing and he's like, 'I think it'll look better this way when he's dancing like this. 'Brother,' he suggested.’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URVyRwVckhc
COMPOSER KIM HYUNG-SEOK
 ‘At first, I saw Lee Joon-gi as just an actor, but I fell in love with his dancing and singing skills. He thought he could make him a trendsetter. He has the potential to become a trendsetter in the pop music world.’
‘He is a smart, thoughtful, discreet and charming friend. In particular, he felt sorry for the singers in that he was not an official singer who had undergone a trainee period, and as he watched that it was not polite to believe in popularity and enter the singer's realm too easily, he felt that he was a 'true friend'.  https://www.crunchyroll.com/pt-pt/forumtopic-481269/latest-news?pg=0 ‘Lee Joon-gi is not working as a singer with this album, but is working on a song because he wants to sing a new song at a fan meeting if possible.’

ACTOR KWON OH-JOONG ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE (2012)
‘I did quite a bit of broadcasting, but there was no other friend who was cheerful, funny, and polite like Lee Joon-gi. That's a really cool friend.’
‘Actually, I was worried because I didn't have close friends with Lee Joon-gi. Director Kim Sang-ho, a friend of hers, also asked if Lee Joon-gi would be uncomfortable with an older senior acting as a servant, and director Kim Sang-ho said, 'Jun-gi is nice. I like his personality,' he said. To the extent that what I was worried about at first is overshadowed, now we are together on set every day and have fun filming. I think he's a really, good friend.’   ‘There are also many action scenes. I saw Lee Joon-gi's filming scene, and he said he was really good. He is a taekwondo expert and a greedy actor, so he did all the difficult action scenes by himself without a sub. I have high expectations as it will be completed with really realistic action scenes.’ Before we actually met, I thought the image was rough and typical of a male actor, but this is the first time I've seen such a bright, cheerful, blunt and fun friend. so much fun working
  ACTOR HAN JEONG-SOO ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE (2012)   
‘There was no rivalry with Lee Joon-gi. So far, he has shown great confidence in his action acting in 6-7 works. On the contrary, the action scenes felt more comfortable than the dialogue dialogues.’
‘Surprisingly, Lee Joon-gi has a great desire for action. In fact, he didn't expect Lee Joon-gi to be good at acting, and he thought he would be on the same level as other actors. But when I actually filmed it, he did a lot better than me. The kick rotation is pretty cool. Although it is not a competition, I received positive stimulation, and it was an opportunity to work harder so as not to be criticized for not being able to act compared to Lee Joon-gi.’ ‘He did not spare any praise for Lee Joon-gi's personality. Lee Joon-gi has a reputation as an actor who not only does not spare himself on set, but also gets along with the staff. He didn't know he was such a good friend until he appeared in the same work. He is a very close friend in terms of personality. He always greets all seniors with respect. He has a great passion for acting and is a polite friend in his attitude towards the staff. I can see why so many people like it. that's a cool friend.’
 ‘Joongi is my favorite college junior. Every time I see him, he has a really good personality. When I'm playing, I play really well, but the moment the filming starts, my concentration is so high that the words 'Wow' come out. There is also a lot of greed for action. I don't think I've ever seen such an actor. I think the audience likes Joongi because he has a good concentration on his work.’
ACTRESS SHIN MIN-AH ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE (2012)    Lee Jun Ki - One Day (하루만) FMV (Arang and The Magistrate OST) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSabGvfyNEY ‘Lee Joon-gi is a very special person. I've never seen such a person before. It's positive and bright, so even though it's hot, I don't seem to sweat. It seems that Lee Joon-gi is not from this world more than me in the role of the ghost. always look good It was unfamiliar the first time I saw it, but later I became addicted. He is the mood maker on the set, but when he acts, he appears in the play. He is a very good learner.’
  
  
ACTRESS HWANG BO-RA ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE (2012)   ‘Lee Joon-gi was very considerate. He says 'It's okay' even if he gives a lot of NG, and even though he's tired, he makes eye contact with the other actors and speaks the lines.’  ‘Lee Joon-gi was very attached to 'Arang and The Magistrate', and he was the 'Energizer' on the set. Everyone is hard, but they make the atmosphere on set fun.’ Lee Joon-gi creates the overall atmosphere. He never leaves the filming site and continues. He also gets along well with the staff. (Because he's the main character) He needs a lot of energy, but he doesn't show any hardship’.
ACTOR YEON WOO-JIN ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE (2012)   ‘The Lee Joon-gi hyung I saw is full of energy. When I talk with hyung, I fall for it. After this drama, I became a fan of hyung. In particular, Junki hyung has the power to lead the work. Because I don't have it, I also have doubts about whether I can do that. I want to learn those parts of hyung.’
‘Jun-gi hyung is an incomparable actor. The energy emanating from her small body is amazing. The fact that he possessed such energy and the power that led the entire drama with this energy was amazing. So, I realized again that people are doing Lee Joon-gi and Lee Joon-gi. It goes beyond mere acting well, and makes the whole atmosphere of the scene comfortable. I felt something beyond the smoke. I was envious of seeing him knowing everything he didn't know. There are a lot of things I want to learn from them in terms of acting and other aspects because they contact me often.’  ‘In particular, Jun-gi has the power to lead the play as the main character. I felt that the energy that she draws while taking care of not only acting but also the staff and fellow actors was great. She was both handsome and envious.’
ACTRESS KIM SO- YEON TWO WEEKS (2013) 
‘Joon-gi is two years younger than me. And it must have been 7 times harder than me, but he laughed until the end. How is that friend so bright? surprised. The lines were great, and the finale was huge, but I thought it was great to see them laughing and joking until the end. He's actually more surprised to see him. After meeting him, I said, 'This friend is an actor'. We hadn't done it together before, so I only knew about 'You're good at acting' while watching the work. I didn't know there was such leadership in the field, but I had a lot to learn.’
‘I really saw Jungi again. Before we started working together, I thought that he was just a popular and good actor, but after going to the military, he suddenly turned into a man. He's younger than me, but I think he's an actor with a lot to learn. As someone who watched, I want to congratulate you more than anyone if you receive an award at the end of the year.’    ‘Lee Joon-gi is really learning. Courtesy is also polite. He has a good voice when seen up close. He has a strange charm. he is a masculine man The body is also flexible. Action is good too. Good footing too. I'm already curious about the next work.’
‘For the first time, I realized that Lee Joon-gi was a flexible actor with such a good voice and great physical condition. She is a pleasant, respectful, and pretty friend. I am very curious about what kind of role Lee Joon-gi will play in the future, and I think I will look for that role. He added that he would like Lee Joon-gi or the production team to receive an award at the year-end awards ceremony. If Lee Joon-gi worked so hard to receive an award, I think I would feel better. Even if I don't win an award, I want to go cheer for it. It's so sweet and lovable.’   https://www.facebook.com/ricewreathproject/videos/391228294972247/
ACTOR YOO OH -SEONG JOSEON GUNMAN  
‘There is an age difference between Lee Joon-gi and I, but I'm thankful that we don't look alike and we're not of the same age. I also like action, but Lee Joon-gi's acting is really good. In a way, it is beautiful and has an impact, so it feels like a dance.’  
‘Even in that tight schedule, I smiled, approached the staff first, greeted them, and seeing them like that, I was in a beautiful scene. Participation in the drama 'The Joseon Gunman' seems to be a really good memory.’
ACTOR OTANI RYOHEI (Japanese) JOSEON GUNMAN (2014) 
‘Really hard working learner. He also has the leadership to lead the drama. I think he's the best protagonist.’
 ‘Lee Joon-gi hardly sleeps and is filming every day, and he works really hard and the brightness is so bright that the actors have no choice but to work hard. Lee Joon-gi is a really great actor. He's so amazing that I can't even put into words the way he's focused. He is also impeccable in his Japanese skills, such as frequently asking and researching me. He learned a lot while acting together.’
ACTOR CHOI JAE-SUNG JOSEON GUNMAN (2014)   ‘Watching Lee Joon-gi's acting, I felt the depth of my heart. He has also served in the military and seems to have matured a lot as he enters his 30s. The acting that melted the sincerity was very good.’

ACTOR CHOI TAE-HWAN SCHOLAR WHO WALKS THE NIGHT (2015)  
‘In particular, Lee Joon-gi hyung suffered a lot. It was no joke to watch them filming action scenes for 4 hours in the scorching sun. I'm so sorry for standing there. However, I have never seen Lee Joon-gi hyung sensitive on the set. Even though everyone was worried about Joon-gi, he talked to me with a smile first.’     ‘Lee Joon-gi is an atmosphere maker that everyone recognizes. You're really great. I learned a lot from watching Lee Jun-gi, 'I'll have to do that later too'. You took good care of me, so I asked a lot of this and that. It must have been difficult because God was the most, but he always answered kindly and was very considerate.’

ACTOR HONG JONG-HYEON MOON LOVERS - SCARLET HEART RYEO (2016)  
‘Jungi hyung has a very good personality and is cool. It is a personality that his younger brothers have no choice but to follow. He gave me a lot of consideration so that I could act comfortably because I was exchanging emotions.’    ‘There were a lot of things I depended on Jungi hyung. The difficult parts are 'This is my opinion. What do you think?' He looked at the whole story and thought about ways to save both characters.’
  
ACTRESS KANG HAN- NA MOON LOVERS - SCARLET HEART RYEO (2016)  
‘Lee Joon-gi oppa is really fun. 4th Prince Wang So shows off his heavy appearance, which is very interesting. She likes a fun atmosphere, and she can get tired of filming a lot on set, but she helped keep that atmosphere from sinking. As a senior actor, I learn a lot and it's really different. aww it's really cool She learned a lot about these things. I learned a lot while filming. After watching it aired after it was over, I think I hit my knees while watching it.’
‘In terms of age in the field, you are just a middle-aged senior. I think you played a central role a lot. He gave notices and led the mood. Basically, the actors gathered around her brother and talked. You are very excited. Let's be excited I was amazed at the constant energy. You must be very tired when you act, but I don't think I've ever seen you look disorganized from exhaustion. I felt the energy was great. Your acting skills are great too. From the perspective of watching the transformation from Wangso to Gwangjong up close, it was an experience that I felt my brother's great acting skills through close breathing again. I was really cool and I wanted to be like him, and I wanted to learn a lot.’ 
‘Every time I saw you, I felt that you conveyed your emotions in a very delicate way. Even if you have the aura of the lead actor when acting, you can't have that much fun and energy after filming is over. How do you always make the atmosphere on set fun while filming every day, take care of the actors, and help the other person immerse themselves in it?’    ‘I thought it was really great, really so beautiful. The lines are really beautiful, and the eyes are especially mysterious. At first, my eyes were so mysterious that I couldn't look into them. The screen is beautiful, but in reality, the eyes are more mysterious.’ 2016: The donations
collected in 2016 (Moon Lovers-Scarlet Heart Ryeo) were diverted to the water cellar charity project
in Mainland China.   ACTRESS / SINGER Z. HERA MOON LOVERS – SCARLET HEART RYEO (2016)   ‘I tried to learn a lot by watching Lee Joon-gi's action. She is very interested in action. If there is a chance in the future, I want to work with Lee Joon-gi in a good project. While monitoring 'Moon Lovers', I watched my acting as if it was flowing and noticed Lee Joon-gi's actions (laughs).’
 
 
‘When I was doing the action, I could really feel that you were a veteran. After seeing the cool action, I contacted him saying, 'Today's action was really cool'. Then they reply, 'I didn't do well at the time because I didn't have time' (laughs). "It seems like people who are good at it. They are really good seniors and have a lot to learn. Since there was a lot of waiting time, I took a lot of pictures. Lee Joon-gi made and sent a video. He was in charge of the making.’    
ACTOR JIN KI -JOO MOON LOVERS - SCARLET HEART RYEO (2016)   ‘Proficient in handling electronic devices. You keep shooting something. He said he was a talented person who edited himself and uploaded it to the group chat room, so he filmed it, edited it, and put subtitles on it and sent it to me.’  ‘Jun-gi senior took good care of her junior. She took care of it so much that I wondered how she would do it. She was respectable.’
   
ACTOR CHOI MIN -SOO LAWLESS LAWYER (2018)   ‘Although it seems that Lee Joon-gi prepares thoroughly, he is actually an actor who prepares desperately. He didn't eat or sleep. The most important thing is to meet in advance who the person in charge of the actor is, look into his tendencies, and find a point where I can sympathize with that person. Lee Joon-gi did that.’    
‘Lee Joon-gi is a loyal friend. He is my favorite style.’
   
ACTRESS LEE HYE-YOUNG LAWLESS LAWYER (2018)  
‘I was very surprised by the actor Lee Joon-gi this time. Lee Joon-gi is really very smart, and he's really good at acting. He's a really stylish, kind, gentleman. Director Kim Jin-min in that part too, the two are really men among men.’        
ACTOR KIM KI-MOO FLOWER OF EVIL (2020)  
‘It was my first time working with actor Lee Joon-gi, and I was really surprised. It is a sample of 'Happy Virus' and 'Human Vitamin'. He's a friend who can't stand the other person's discomfort for even a second. He takes care of everyone from start to finish throughout the shoot. He was abusing himself by taking care of not only the actors he acted with, but also the youngest staff. He is an actor who has a lot to learn from his looks, acting, and personality.’  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl_xCmzELP4
 
ACTOR / SINGER PARK HYEON-JUN FLOWER OF EVIL (2020)   ‘The first time I met him, he was a very kind person. He made the scene feel good and made others feel comfortable. He's been to many sites, but it's the first time he's seen someone like Lee Joon-gi. I'm a rookie and a senior from my point of view, but they pat my shoulder and say, 'Stop saying hello' because I keep saying hello. Thanks to you, I am shooting without any inconvenience.’  
ACTOR SEO HYUN- WOO FLOWER OF EVIL (2020)
‘Actor Lee Joon-gi is a person who is bright, cheerful, and gives good energy to the point where I wonder where such energy comes from. When I was acting and felt sad because of my own inadequacies, he came to me, comforted me, and communicated with me. He was the one who took the whole scene like that. During my first lead role, I learned a lot from watching actor Lee Joon-gi.’       ‘Isn't the nickname of actor Lee Joon-gi an action master? He used his body so well that he shot safely without any injuries. He usually bruises his body just by grabbing his neck. But in this work, nothing happened. That much (Lee Jun-gi) was good at the level of the martial arts team. Rather, I was grateful that I felt that I had benefited.’   ‘He's a year older than me, but he really made people feel comfortable. I was comfortable, so I was able to concentrate well, and later I started to enjoy acting. Junki hyung has led many works, and he has a lot of room to communicate with the staff. A person who can afford it seems really attractive.’ ACTOR KIM JI- HOON FLOWER OF EVIL (2020)
‘Acting with Lee Joon-gi was a very enjoyable job in itself. There are things we can relate to without words between people who act sincerely. As an actor who is so sincere and full of passion and commitment to acting, I really enjoyed every moment of acting together. Although the body is hard, the mind is happy, and I think that you can feel it when you are doing what you really love, and I think I must have felt the same way with Lee Joon-gi while we were acting together.’
   ‘Moreover, it would not be easy to take care of your own acting, but as a lead actor, I was able to learn a lot from the atmosphere and leadership that led the scene. It was not easy to be in the best position for such a long time, but when I worked closely, it made sense to me. He is more delicate and passionate than anyone else, and once he takes on a work under his own name, he really pours everything into it. He's a friend with a lot to learn from. We had been friends from the beginning, but after working together, I began to seriously consider them.’
ACTOR JUNG SANG-HOON AGAIN MY LIFE (2022)
 ‘It suits me very well to appear with Lee Joon-gi. Lee Joon-gi is full of wit, and he brings out the atmosphere of the filming set well and is knowledgeable in cooking. Breathing is good. Why do I want to meet you now?’
   
ACTOR KIM JAE-KYUNG AGAIN MY LIFE 2020 
‘Originally, my role models were Meryl Streep or Na Moon-hee, but with this work, I changed to Lee Joon-gi. In this drama, Hee-woo occupies a very large percentage, and every time I watch it, my energy overflows over 200%. Whether it's the last scene or the first scene, whenever we meet, he makes the scene atmosphere cheerful and fun, and he does great acting, so I had a dream of 'I want to become an actor like that too'. And the more I act with seniors, the more I love acting, in a single word, even that seemed respectful.’ 
‘While we were talking about that seniors don't eat carbohydrates, I said, 'I've been doing that for a year, but I gave up because I wanted to eat tteokbokki so much!' However, the senior said that for his own acting and action, this level is okay. It was so cool. He seemed to express everything comfortably. Before Hee-Woo, I had so much fun watching 'Scarlet Heart Ryeo', so I guess I had the Wang So in my head. Seeing Hee-woo, who is so relaxed, come alive, acting comfortably and making the atmosphere of the set comfortable, naturally, the actors were able to relax.’
‘His attitude on set was impressive, and he is really passionate about action scenes more than anyone else. He also told me ideas about how it would be fun to hold a camera like this, and he didn't spare any body while digesting it himself without a second time. I felt that it came out lively because I was not afraid of getting hurt, so I ran 'Marvel' in that season, and even though there were various action scenes, Lee Jun-gi was very cool. He said that he would like to try action someday and would like a lot of advice, so he recommended jiu-jitsu.’  ‘Senior Lee Joon-gi loves acting so much. I've been thinking about it too, but this is the conclusion. 'You have to work hard and love acting like that to become a senior Lee Joon-gi', 'Let's get my heart together'. You seem to breathe all of that while acting’.
ACTOR JI-CHAN AGAIN MY LIFE (2022)
‘Lee Joon-gi hyung took care of me so deeply that I was moved. He did it to the extent of thinking, 'How can you take care of people so well?' to each staff member and to the actors. I cried. He's probably tired from all night action or cold weather, but he's never been without a smile. An actor who spreads positive energy to the scene. There are many lines and scenes that hyung needs to digest, but even after filming is over, he takes all the people with him. It really doesn't make sense.’
 ‘If there is actually a hyung I like, I want to hang out with him and be with him, but seeing Jungi hyung, I felt that way. For me, Jungi hyung was a superstar, but while we were together on set, I felt a lot more comfortable. He never lost his smile even after a long time filming. He continued to like him as an actor and as a human being. It was as if he had become Sang-man and Hee-woo. I was so immersed in the role, and it was amazing that such a relationship continued in reality.’ ACTOR LEE SOON- JAE AGAIN MY LIFE (2022)
‘Jun-gi is a bubbly and really good friend. 'Yeah, you're good,' he said.’
   ACTOR PARK WOO-JOON AGAIN MY LIFE (2022)
‘Actor Lee Joon-gi was so perfect. Caring, relaxation, and concentration were the best. The storyline has changed and a scene that fits me has been added, but while wearing the abdominal and arm protectors, he checked them one by one, and at the same time as the cut sound, he was genuinely worried about whether it was ok’.
 ‘The high-level action scenes would require a lot of stamina, but seeing them fighting with a bright image from start to finish, I thought, 'After all, that's why he's such a great actor'.

TAIWAN STAR JAY CHOU
Korean stars didn't know that well. At most, it was Lee Joon-gi and Rain. We met at the last international film festival, and before that, I didn't feel humble about Korean actors, but Lee Joon-gi was kind to the elderly actors in Hong Kong, so the dinner show that day was really enjoyable. All of our actors in Hong Kong have become fans of Lee Joon-gi. JAPANESE ACTOR AOI MIYAZAKI VIRGIN SNOW (2007)
  ‘Korean actors have always had the perception that they have a strong passion, but I really enjoyed every minute of every second performing with Lee Joon-gi. He couldn't stand the awkwardness with the actors, so he never stood still. Even on days when he is not filming, he buys cookies and takes care of the actors and staff on the set, so now when he thinks of Lee Joon-gi, he has many happy memories. His passion for acting is also admirable.’
  HONG KONG ACTOR JACKIE CHAN
‘Although he is young, he felt he had strength and ambition, so he happily allowed me to attend the signing ceremony with him. He now drives more reporters and paparazzi than most actors in Hong Kong, who are always a troublesome and angry presence for stars. But Lee Joon-gi poses and greets even those people one by one, but the media couldn't find anything bad about him. He said he wanted to do an action movie together someday, and he wants to give it a chance. I was attracted to Lee Joon-gi's modesty and cleanliness.’
CHINESE ACTRESS ZHANG ZIYI
 ‘I was very impressed with the movie The King's Man in which he appeared. Contrary to his delicate appearance, he has a lot of things and is an actor with a fresh ambition to spit out something. Although he is a young actor, I have already become a fan of his. When I look at Lee Joon-gi, I also feel nostalgic because it reminds me of Jang Gook-young when I was young. He is confident that he will be able to shine even more abroad. Because of this, I had a lot of conversations with Lee Joon-gi at the dinner show.’
HONG KONG ACTOR TANG WEI
‘I had a meeting with him because of the work, and I was about an hour late, but he greeted me very warmly and I thought that he was a very kind person. Manners were also very good. In particular, even though it was just a meeting about the work, he was passionate enough to give a lot of opinions without stopping for 3 hours. I thought it would be great to work together. There was definitely a reason he was so popular as an actor. I look forward to the future.’
HONG KONG ACTOR ERIC TSANG
 ‘It was the first time we greeted each other at the Shanghai Film Festival. Hong Kong actors talk a lot about Lee Joon-gi and I see a lot of people who are his fans, and they scold him every time. 'You guys do it straighter!' He is a very humble and passionate friend, so I look forward to the future. His manners seem to shine more when he gets the attention of so many people.
JAPANESE SINGER / ACTOR KUSANAGI TSUYOSHI HOTEL VENUS (2004)  
‘He is a sincere and kind actor. He always called me hyung, so I'm very comfortable now too. When he secretly comes to Japan, he comes to the studio to support him, and I am very grateful for his consideration. He is also gaining a lot of popularity in Japan, and I would like to work with him again in the future. I am a sincere friend.’
JAPANESE SINGER / ACTOR KIMURA TAKUYA
‘I met Lee Joon-gi and Tsuyoshi a couple of times because they were close. I wonder if a young star who is gaining great popularity in Japan is too modest. It's cool. nice Those are the strengths of Lee Joon-gi. I believe he will soon become a big star in Asia.’ HONG KONG ACTOR TONY LEUNG
 ‘It's attractive. Recently, I'm very interested in Lee Joon-gi's move, but he's also interested in collaborating, so I became greedy about working with him. I heard it was quite popular, but I was very surprised at the last film festival. Because the red carpet was all full of Lee Joon-gi's fans. A curious actor.’
CHINESE ACTOR HUANG XIAO-MING
 ‘I'm usually a fan of Korean dramas. I was a big fan of Lee Joon-gi, so I was worried about what to say before we met at this event, but I was happy to talk to him first. I felt that he was a very pleasant person and that he had many things to imitate.’
  AMERICAN ACTRESS MILLA JOVOVICH RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER (2017)   ‘I am very excited to be working with Lee Joon-gi. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I met Lee Joon-gi. Before, people always came to me and said, 'Your action is really good,' and I thought that too to some extent, but after meeting Lee Joon-gi, I realized what really great action was.’  ‘I couldn't believe it when I saw Junki acting. The martial arts were also amazing. In the United States, stuntmen often do the double, so the actors don't film the scenes themselves.’
