Who would have expected it? None. Everyone was taken by surprise when Lee Joon Gi made the exciting announcement about his upcoming Asia Tour during his very successful 2024 Splendor Family Day: Love Blossom on 14 June 2024. Though the audience were caught off-guard, they immediately applauded him. All his fans are certain that he would infuse his concerts with his boundless energy, passionate singing and vigorous dance routines that never cease to amaze them. He sprints from one end of the stage to the other, often leaping, jumping, dancing animatedly or shaking his body provocatively. The accomplished singer dazzles with his melodious songs, brilliant dancing, flexibility, stamina and all-round strength. It was announced that he
would be touring ‘Taipei, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. And more. Coming
soon.’ Lee would be running a marathon, sweeping through so many cities. He has never held any concerts in Jakarta
and Kuala Lumpur before. Although no fixed dates were announced, it is believed
that the tour would kick off soon. His latest post on Instagram
shows him training to stay in top form for his Asia Tour; he was belting out the
cover version of ‘Lemon’ by Kenshi Yonezu. The training, which had started long
ago for Joongi Day in Yokohama at the end of last year, would be even more gruelling
this time. He is probably working on some new songs ahead of the tour.

Lee will be starting his
filming project at the second half of the year, probably in Autumn. He made
plans on holding the concerts in advance as he has plenty of time before he
begins filming his new project. When will the tour schedule be mapped out?
The curiosity of his fans,
who have been waiting excitedly in anticipation of his upcoming tour, has also been
aroused by the mention of his next filming project. Though he is careful not to
divulge the details, it is suspected to be a most welcome surprise. None should
be caught napping when the project is revealed.

THE BEST
IN
TELEVISION
A GATHERING
OF
GREAT TALENTS
‘THE BEST
OF
THE BEST’
|
When former co-stars and
ex-collegues get together for a meal, fans are overly excited and their
imagination goes into overdrive. On 18 June 2024, Lee Joon Gi uploaded a post showing that he had met up with the cast and
the crew of his groundbreaking 2023 High Fantasy-Mythological-War television
series, The Sword of Aramun of which he is the leading actor. The television
series, in which Lee Joon Gi showcased his spectacular acting and action
performance, has garnered innumerable accolades from critics and viewers alike from
around the world.
The gathering was organised after Lee's Splendor Family Day concert held on 14 June at the 5,000-seat National
Convention Hall of the Pacifico Yokohama where he was given a Standing Ovation
by his Japanese fans.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/984287699684927 Director Kim Kwang Sik, Choi
Chan Ming, the Director of Photography; Jang Dong Gun, Kim Ok Vin and a
mysterious person were at the gathering of talented people whom Lee Joon Gi describes
as ‘The Best of The Best’ on his Instagram post. Is the person Kim Tae Seong,
the music director and composer? All of those present are multiple award
winners. The talented people, particularly Lee Joon Gi, have significantly contributed to the outstanding
television series, The Sword of Aramun. The Best in Television.
In The Sword of Aramun, the
sequel to Arthdal Chronicles Season 1, Lee Joon Gi plays dual roles and portrays
a pair of twins, Inaishingi-Aramun and Saya, his identical twin, while Jang
Dong Gun reprises his role as Tagon. Kim Ok Vin also reprises her role as
Taealha. The acting, the direction, the photography, the music and the wardrobe
are magificient.
The question that pops up in
everyone’s mind is: ‘Is the sequel to The Sword of Aramun in the works?’
There seems to be a magazine
advertising American Whiskey. They were probably drinking a certain brand of American
whiskey. Lee says, ‘It was so much
fun’, in response to Choi Chan Ming’s post. They should meet up more often
then.
Besides being streamed on Disney
Plus, The Sword of Aramun is now available on Hulu.

EXPLORING
MORAL INTEGRITY
AND
JUSTICE
IN
LEE JOON GI’S DRAMAS:
BASIS
FOR
VALUES DISCUSSION
IN
CLASS
DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY
PHILIPPINES

https://asiantvdramasconference.com/ ‘Exploring Moral Integrity and Justice in Lee Joon Gi’s Dramas: Basis for Values Discussion in Class.'
Digna Delfino and Jomari Echano - De La Salle University Philippines -
That’s right. Such a stunning
and intelligent idea. That was the topic of the paper presented by Digna
Delfino and Jomari Echano of the De La Salle University in the Philippines on
22 May 2024. The College of Liberal Arts, De La Salle University (DLSU) in
cooperation with Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, held a joint conference on ‘Asian
TV Dramas and The Popular Mind in
South-east Asia’ between 20 May and 22 May 2024 in Manila. https://asiantvdramasconference.com/program-schedule/
It is significant that Lee
Joon Gi’s television series have been singled out for praise. Since his rise
to fame in The King and The Clown in 2005, Lee Joon Gi, the multi-talented Top
Actor-Action Star and Entertainer (Singer-Dancer) has been selective and careful
about the roles that he plays and the television series that he is involved in.
He chooses his television series meticuluously and prioitises the positive effects
they have on society.
Moral Integrity and Justice
are very important issues. The many important life values embodied in Lee Joon
Gi’s television series like Gunman in Joseon (2014), Moon Lovers-Scarlet Heart
Ryeo (2016), Criminal Minds (2017), Lawless Lawyer (2018), Flower of Evil
(2020), Again My Life (2022) and The Sword of Aramun (2023) provide many of life’s
lessons and are worth discussing in the classroom. These days when children are
growing up stunted because of their diet of feather-brained celebrities and
their frivolous dramas with filmsy values, special attention should be paid to intelligent
and meaningful television series and the important values espoused by them. The
heroic qualities of the men and women in the television series like courage, loyalty,
dignity, responsibility and accountability should also be explored in the classroom.
Children need special
nourishment for their mental, emotional and spiritual health. And Lee Joon Gi’s television
series can decidedly satisfy these needs.
