Lee Joon Gi’s 2026 Splendor Family Day is not just a Fan-Meet Concert – it’s shaping up to be a full-blown event. Set to take place in Yokohama, Japan on 10 April 2026 (Friday), the celebration comes with perfect timing; just days before the actor’s 44th birthday. Because really, why settle for one reason to celebrate when you can have two. Lee’s fiercely devoted local and global fandom – especially his Japanese fans, who are also masterminding his birthday festivities, have been buzzing with excitement months in advance, plotting a double celebration worthy of their beloved star.   The recently unveiled official concert poster instantly steals the spotlight. In it, a mysterious Lee Joon Gi gazes out while holding a rectangular mirror in his right palm. The reflection captures his striking, almost hypnotic facial features – as if he’s daring fans to look closer… and maybe lose themselves a little. Rendered entirely in monochrome, the poster is both captivating and provocative. Framing Lee on either side are bold red words, ‘Eyes on Me’ cutting through the black-and-white image. The effect? Stark. Dramatic. Impossible to ignore. The radical departure from his colourful, ‘feel-good’ posters makes it the most revolutionary and compelling visual of his concert career to date. By stripping away colour, the design forces our attention where it belongs – Lee Joon Gi himself – his presence, his expression, the texture and emotion etched into every detail.   The deliberate use of black, white and red, Lee Joon Gi’s favourite colours, evokes a mood that is mature, reflective and undeniably sophisticated. There is an undercurrent of solitude and introspection. The slogan, ‘Eyes on Me’, is an idiom layered with meaning, depending on how you choose to read it. On one level, it suggests observation – Lee Joon Gi as the ever-watched figure. His life, actions, relationships and creative choices are under the gaze of his fans, critics and the public alike. As a global actor and multihyphenate artiste, he lives under relentless scrutiny. His life no longer solely belongs to him. Fame ensures that he’s always in the spotlight, always watched.       But flip the meaning, the phrase softens. ‘Eyes on Me’ can also mean care, protection and devotion. It suggests his fans, local and global, are watching over him, cheering him on, making he’s safe, loved and supported. ‘To Have an Eye on Someone’ is to look out for them, and Lee Joon Gi’s fandom has never failed to do exactly that. So, whether the poster whispers intrigue, invites reflection or teases fans a little, one thing is clear – All eyes are on Lee Joon Gi and he knows it.

LIT

THE MATCH

Internet sleuths are buzzing. Lee Joon Gi reportedly returned home from Taiwan on 1 February 2026. And the fandom went feral. Whispers of his new international film have sent excitement into overdrive.     https://www.instagram.com/fansactor_jg/reel/DUOFplBEael/   https://www.instagram.com/ljg1_vered/p/DUNiBzjAtqY/   The movie title is Kidnapping Game (likely a working title). It is adapted from Keigo Higashino’s novel, The Name of The Game Is Kidnapping, a psychological thriller. And if the source material wasn’t juicy enough, the cast lineup is stupendous. Joining Lee Joon Gi is a border-hopping ensemble.   Carrie Wong (Singapore) Alice Ko (Taiwan) Kentaro Sakaguchi (Japan)   Four countries. Four stars. One dangerous addictive mind game. Expectations? Sky high, to say the least. Now that Lee Joon Gi is firmly back on home soil, there are whispers that filming has wrapped. Secrets are leaking. Expectations are exploding. All signs point to Taiwanese director, Lin Yu Hsien is at the helm, alongside an anonymous Japanese co-director. Others say it's a Japanese-led movie. Nobody knows.   The production itself reads like a cinematic world tour. Singapore. South Korea. Japan. Taiwan. Different Cultures. Different Climates. One twisted psychological battlefield.   Post-production is likely underway and fans are counting the seconds to a premiere announcement. The hunger is real.   The original game: Kidnapping as a mind sport. Keigo Higashino’s novel isn’t your average thriller. This story has been adapted across Asia – Japan, China and India.     SO, WHAT MAKES THIS NEW VERSION DIFFERENT?     That’s where things get thrilling What we expect so far.     Lee Joon Gi (South Korea) as the male lead. Carrie Wong (Singapore) as the female lead. Alice Ko (Taiwan) as the mother of two.   Kentaro Sakaguchi as a man who saves the life of a high school student.     Romance? Non-Negotiable. Danger and Action? Mandatory. This is a story of smoke, shadows and strategy. It’s The Master’s Game.   WHY ARE EXPECTATIONS HITTING THE STRATOSPHERE?       1. Four Actors – Four Nationalities. Intriguing.   2. Four Asian Settings: Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan. Wow.   3. At least 2 production companies collaborating across borders: Taiwanese and Japanese. Peak creative energy.   4. The medium of communication between the 4 characters of different nationalities - Is there a shared lingua franca? Perhaps, English? It would be fun and exciting to watch Lee Joon Gi speak not only Korean, but also Chinese, Japanese and English in the film. He will be amazing.   5. Wildly different climates shaping mood and emotions: Singapore’s tropical heat. South Korea & Japan’s brutal winter. Taiwan’s rain-soaked chilly weather. 6. Wardrobe. Clothing changes with the weather. Are there differences in the clothing styles and fashion in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan? It was winter in those countries when the movie was filmed. Did they start filming in Autumn? Nobody knows. 7. Cultural differences. Maybe some of those, like food perhaps.   8. And of course, Lee Joon Gi.  High Octane Action. Emotional Devastation. Betrayal. Danger. And Romance delivered with visceral intensity. With Lee Joon Gi leading the charge, expect treacherous situations, hidden enemies, shattered hearts, and performances that leave bruises.     THE FINAL MYSTERY   Nobody knows yet. Who’s the villain? Who’s the victim? What moral line will the director draw or will he erase it entirely?   What is certain – this isn’t just another adaptation. It is a high stakes international mind game and the audience is about to be pulled right in.   And fans have one clear demand.     HONOUR THE CAST AND CREW   Honour the cast and crew – boldly, clearly and right up front. Their names should be in English.   Place the names of the main cast and crew on the screen before the actual show begins. The rest could be credited at the end.   Why? Because the game deserves its players to be seen. Brace yourself. The Game is about to begin.

NamooActors, Lee Joon Gi’s management agency, recently dropped a tantalising little teaser. Lee Joon Gi is currently filming an ‘Asian co-production.’ Short, sweet and instantly intriguing. Details are still under wraps but whispers across the region suggest that this is a true-cross-border affair, jointly produced by multiple Asian production companies. Taiwanese media report that a Japanese director, accompanied by his crew, was spotted filming on the streets of Taipei, directing a Taiwanese actress alongside a Japanese actor.   Even more exciting? The project boasts an all-Asian powerhouse cast: South Korea’s multi-international award-winning megastar, Lee Joon Gi, Singapore’s top beloved shining star, Carrie Wong, two-time Taiwanese Golden Bell Best Actress winner, Alice Ko, and popular Japanese actor, Kentaro Sakaguchi.   Naturally, fans are buzzing with questions. How do actors from different countries communicate on set? Are they switching languages? Did Lee Joon Gi secretly level up his Mandarin or Japanese? Perhaps, he did imply doing something like that some time ago.     (Left) Director Lin (Right) photo uploaded by LJG     Fuel was added to the fire when Lee recently uploaded behind-the-scenes Instagram photos from Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. One particular shot catches attention: a man who looked suspiciously like renowned Taiwanese director Lin Yu Hsien, Lee’s collaborator from the 2016 Chinese film, Never Said Goodbye.     If it truly is Lin Yu Hsien, this would mark a thrilling second collaboration between the Taiwanese director and the South Korean multihyphenate. It’s powerful East Asian creative synergy again. https://www.instagram.com/p/BGW8ZjIAocS/?taken-by=actor_jg Adding a fun bit of destiny to the story - in 2016, Lee Joon Gi cheekily asked Director Lin on Instagram to make an action-romance film for him someday. It seems Lin may have finally taken him up on the offer. Lee Joon Gi (Top) 2016 (Bottom) 2026 Director Lin Yu Hsien is no stranger to acclaim. His documentary ‘Jump! Boys’, which followed young gymnasts chasing their dreams, became one of Taiwan’s most beloved documentaries and launched Lin from promising newcomer to national talent. Before film making, Lin even worked as an elementary school gymnastics coach in Yilan.   In 2011, he wrote and directed ‘Jump! Ashin’, earning him a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 48th Golden Horse Awards.   Lin is especially praised for his humorous, fast-paced storytelling and his keen observations of society.   The director once revealed that persuading Lee Joon Gi to star in Never Said Goodbye took serious effort. Lee was always his first and only choice for the romantic lead, describing him as, ‘a boy next door with a unique charm – natural, sincere and down-to-earth.’ Determined to secure him, Lin flew to Korea twice to personally discuss the project. He later joked that he had to ‘trick’ Lee into saying yes. The film ultimately unfolded across Shanghai and southern Italy, and the gamble paid off. Lee Joon Gi sang the song, ‘For a While’, the ending theme song for the movie. The song is from his album, Exhale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktO1YdnHToM&list=RDktO1YdnHToM&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K5l855aCxU&list=RD9K5l855aCxU&start_radio=1     In Never Said Goodbye, Lee plays Jun Ho, a South Korean university student studying in China. At first the film feels almost playfully romantic. Jun Ho charms Xiao Yu (Zhou Dong Yu) with a grand flash-mob dance in the school cafetaria and proves his devotion by devouring an absurd amount of pork knuckles. The story unfolds in two halves – first through Xiao Yu’s perspective, then through Jun Ho’s.         The tone shifts heartbreakingly when Jun Ho learns he has brain cancer and only 6 months to live. Choosing love over selfishness, he stages his own death and quietly shields Xiao Yu from the truth, hoping she’ll survive the pain of losing him. 'The hardest goodbyes are the ones that never happen.'     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwQlkf-8Y3M     The film lingers on the ache of unfinished farewells – on people who disappear from our lives before we can say what truly mattered. It’s a story that never quite let go. Lee Joon Gi’s performance is devastatingly beautiful - leaving audiences emotionally wrecked, while the cinematography elevates every moment into something breathtaking. If the mysterious new project really does unite Lee Joon Gi and Director Lin Yu Hsien, fans may have to prepare their hearts – again.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwQlkf-8Y3M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSBLPFJM5qw
