Lee Joon Gi, the incomparable
multihyphenate star, was engulfed by a massive crowd of fans at the 20th
anniversary celebration of The King and The Clown which was held at the
Sangsang Madang Cinema on 21 June 2025. What stood out was his graciousness,
warmth, humility and friendliness as he greeted and waved at his admirers. It
struck a chord with many people. There were touching fan moments when he smiled
and spontaneously spoke briefly to several lucky fans.
The number of seats at the
Sangsang Madang Cinema was limited and those who were not fortunate enough to
have purchased a ticket swarmed around
Lee Joon Gi as soon as he exited the venue after the event. The admirers and
fans eagerly surged forward to get a glimpse of the legendary actor, request
for autographs and take selfies with him. The powerful love of his fandom was apparent in that high energy moment. The sheer size of the crowd and the fan
excitement have sparked attention on the internet.
Fans love Lee Joon Gi not
just for his incredible acting and action performance but also for his beautiful
loving heart. And he loves them back just as much. Lee has won the hearts of local
and global fans since The King and The Clown days, and his passionate and
supportive fans have stood by him through thick and thin.
The size, energy and support of
the crowd highlights the recognition of the importance of The King and The
Clown. The masterpiece classic has stood the test of time. It remains relevant,
powerful and entertaining after its release in 2005. The truth is The King and The Clown has
made a significant cultural and artistic impact. No wonder the critically
acclaimed film is considered the best film in the 100 year history of Korean cinema.
Director Lee Joon Ik, who
directed the unforgettable film; Lee Joon Gi, who portrayed Gong Gil, King
Yeonson’s favourite clown; and the film’s loyal fanbase have kept the
masterpiece alive in public memory. The two film industry legends showed their
close bond, humour and camaraderie during the event. The director playfully
tried to throw the actor to the ground which resulted in the audience bursting
into laughter. The moderator was Joo Sung Chul (Editor-in-Chief).
