THE LASER-SHARP FOCUSED

LEE JOON GI

STANDS OUT

AS

SOUTH KOREA’S

MOST ENDURING

SINGER-ACTOR

ICON




 

 

Joongi’s Day 2024 In Seoul: Spring Again








It’s spring again. Another springtime surprise. Lee Joon Gi, who is South Korea’s most enduring singer-actor icon since his singing debut in 2006, will soon hold his next concert in Seoul on 11 May 2024. The gorgeous actor-artiste who has a innate gift for entertainment has never slackened his pace after his phenomenal rise with his astonishing 2005 movie, The King and The Clown. Known as ‘The King’ - the K-industry king, the multi-talented and much awarded actor-martial artist-singer-dancer-model, who is known for his laser-sharp focus, knows what his goals are in the entertainment industry and has since become a globally popular superstar.

The magical time when Lee Joon Gi launched his musical career was the beginning of an era. His concerts are still magical experiences. With his business acumen and savvy, he is now the K-entertainment pop god, one of the greatest entertainers of the industry by which all other South Korean artistes are measured.










 

 

A Kstar interview conducted about Lee Joon Gi with Kyung Bok, one of the important musicians in the industry many years ago is a revelation. What Kyung Bok said was true then and is still true today. Beside being described as ‘a natural born artist’, Kyung Bok also observed that Lee was ‘innocent or pure’. He  humorously compared him to ‘a kid’. This probably meant that Lee was playful and in a state of perpetual adolescence. The multihyphenate’s penchant for playfulness does not diminish his reputation or his importance as a pop icon and top actor but has enhanced it.

 













Playful Lee Joon Gi













Kyung Bok also praised Lee as ‘a very talented dancer’. Having been in the industry for over a decade, he thought that Lee Joon Gi was probably ‘the best dancer of all the actors’.

 

He emphasized Lee’s passion. He ‘is not just good at it but he also loves it so much. His greatest strength is that he is equally great in both areas, which you don’t see in any other actor.’ It was true then and is true now. ‘He is equally great when performing on stage like a musician and when performing as an actor. He is probably the best perfomer that’s equally good in both areas.’ The top Korean artiste and actor.

 

Lee Joon Gi is, in fact, The King. There have been pretenders or contenders for the title of king but there is only one King, and Lee Joon Gi embodies the very essence of it.

 

























 

Lee Joon Gi’s spring concert, ‘Joongi’s Day 2024 In Seoul: Spring Again’, will be held in the prestigious EWHA Womans University Auditorium on 11 May (Saturday) at 6 pm.
