Smiling charmingly for the cameras. Posing like a supermodel. Showing
off Vivienne Westwood’s clothes to advantage. None would dispute the fact that Lee Joon Gi looked gorgeous, striking
and seductive. With such a winning mindset and
fabulous looks, it isn’t difficult to see why Lee Joon Gi had won hearts, dazzled
everyone and taken centre-stage when he graced the grand opening of the Vivienne
Westwood Paterson Street Store and Café in Hong Kong on 7 November 2018. Being the experienced
charmer that he is, he also knew exactly what to do to bring on the smiles and
make the crowds go wild.

Lee showered his fans, who came in droves to see him, with his
naughty winks, flying kisses and heart signs and he even spoke English and
Cantonese, thanking them profusely for welcoming him to Hong Kong. Very
charming, indeed.
It was reported that more than a dozen security guards had been hired just to maintain order at the prestigious event.
At the packed meeting later with the press, Lee Joon Gi fielded
every question posed to him with charm, skill and eloquence. The charming,
lively, charismatic multi-talented Asian superstar won the crowds with his warm
and outgoing personality. Lee Joon Gi has a lot in the way of wide public
appeal. No wonder his fans, the Hong Kong public and even the press were
completely smitten by him.
With winter just around the
corner, it is important for everyone to keep warm. Thirty-six-year old Lee
Joon Gi kicked off the season’s fashion by wearing a striking oversized
single-breasted black-and-white tartan jacket with matching loose-fitting pants.
The pair of pants with a gathered waist is fastened with a drawstring. Lee had
layered his jacket with a black turtleneck sweater. His minimalist white
sneakers complete the very cool look.
Though checks are all the rage
in Europe for autumn and winter 2018, the eye-catching but seemingly
overpowering black-white plaid pattern is an uncommon sight in Asia. But,
the gorgeous Asian superstar Lee Joon Gi never fails to impress. He stuns. He
had made the bold ensemble look like a million dollars. Lee had sent the
message that one has to bid farewell to skinny clothes and jeans this winter.
Lee Joon Gi, the multi-talented superstar
(actor-martial artist-action
choreographer-model-popstar), has a successful year. His performance in
the 2018 legal action drama, Lawless
Lawyer, has melted the hearts of drama critics, writers and audience who
have been effusive in their praise for his acting skills and talents. His
amazing acting calibre and martial arts skills in Lawless Lawyer have put him
on the world map.
But Lee Joon Gi is not just an
awesome actor-cum-martial artist. Also acclaimed as a ‘popstar’, Lee had held
fan meets in the form of pop concerts in South Korea and Japan in the first
half of the year. He would soon kick-start his 2018-2019 Delight Asian Tour
with his Seoul fan meet in December. The actor would then leave for Osaka,
Yokohama, Taipei, Bangkok and Hong Kong. More events would probably be
planned later.
Other than that, the very
diligent actor, who is the model for Lotte Duty Free since 2016, has been
featured in many fashion magazines, including being the cover boy for the
August issue of Elle Men Hong Kong. Lee had just returned from a very
successful and memorable week-long photoshoot trip in Bangkok, where his warm
and ardent Thai fans constantly swarmed around him.
2007: Jackie Chan and Lee Joon Gi
Lee Joon Gi spoke of his dream of
being a great action star like Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan seems to be his idol. How wonderful it would be for all
fans from different generations and different cultures if the two great Asian action superstars were
to appear together in a movie! Lee has not reached the same level of experience and fame as Chan and he could learn a thing or two from the older thespian. However, both are quite similar in many ways. They are multi-talented, cheerful, energetic and they have a hilarious sense of humour. For them, acting is a lifestyle. As they share an enduring passion for showbusiness, their collaboration would be happy, meaningful and electrifying. Lee Joon Gi could bring a freshness and a new perspective to the collaboration. Imagine their explosive chemistry on the silver screen!
Lee had recently revealed in the
Knowing Brothers show (Episode 151) that he had choreographed his martial
arts moves in his dramas. It isn’t surprising since he is a practitioner of
many kinds of martial arts. Lawless Lawyer has action sequences from end to
end, some of which had been created by him. Lee practises BJJ and boxing
quite regularly.
It had been observed that Lee
Joon Gi was treated like royalty in Hong Kong. Andreas Kronthaler, the Creative Director of Vivienne
Westwood's brand who was also present, was more than
pleasant to him. Upon Lee’s arrival the day before, the South Korean actor had been escorted
from the Hong Kong airport to his hotel by a squad of celebrity security
guards including a beefy European bodyguard and when he left the day after,
he had additional security. The presence of many robust bodyguards did not
deter his overly eager and wildly passionate fans. The royal treatment Lee
Joon Gi had received further cemented his status as Asian showbusiness and
fashion royalty.
