2024 is an important milestone in
the relationship between Lee Joon Gi and his Manager, Lee Sang Hyun. It marks the tenth year
of the close bond between boss and employee. Sang Hyun seems more of a close
friend, companion and confidant than an employee. 2015 was the year that
Sang Hyun became part of the LJG team and their bromance started. Lee Joon Gi,
the King of Saguek or Historical Dramas, portrayed a beautiful vampire in MBC’s 2015 historical television series, The Scholar Who Walks The Night.    
Fans who did not know Lee Joon Gi
then may be startled to learn that he was even more playful and hilarious than now. One video
clip shows that Lee, clothed in his blue Hanbok vampire costume, was ‘wiggling
and jiggling’ as he was tired from staying up all night. Wiggle. Wiggle. Wiggle.
His alluring and earth-shaking movements make his fans wiggle and giggle. The very serious Sang
Hyun was busy protecting the actor from the sun.
Another clip shows no secret tricks are required for levitation; the handsome Joseon vampire uses his superpowers to perform magic; he managed to levitate some kitchen utensils, make them float in midair and then, crash them to the ground. ‘Abracadabra’. It is no grand illusion.

True enough, the word is the password to open the door and he is allowed to enter.

to suggest the eating eels makes one strong. 
I’m afraid
you would have to take his word for it. Research says that eel contains a good
amount of calcium, magnesium, potassium, selenium, manganese, zinc and iron.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, it maintains healthy bones, promotes
healthy skin and aids brain function.  In 2018
(Year of the Golden Dog), Sang Hyun whom Lee Joon Gi affectionately calls, ‘my
liitle brother’ was promoted to ‘Gwanjang’ (Korean corporate title) or Head or Manager
of a Team. That promotion called for a celebration for JG’s Team. Sang Hyun is
someone whom he could trust.

Lee Sang Hyun even learnt martial
arts together with the actor and his sister, who are avid martial arts practitioners. Lee learnt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from his sifu or martial arts master, Lee Gyeong
Sup, for his television series, the 2020 Flower of Evil. The siblings have
achieved blue belts after learning the martial art for 2 years. His manager is reported to have obtained three stripes.       Lee Joon
Gi's gwanjang accompanies him
everywhere, including filming locations and concert tours. Sang Hyun
even performed some martial arts stunts with Lee Joon Gi at one of his fan
concerts.
 
Recently Lee
Joon Gi, his sister, Lee Sang Hyun and Lim Hyun Jun, the producer of the actor’s
concerts and albums, attended IU’s H.E.R. concert in Seoul.
