Lee Joon Gi’s 2019 New Year
greetings are full of optimistic wishes for himself and positive messages for
his fans and admirers.
WISH FOR MORE DREAMS TO COME TRUE
Not unlike other people, Lee
Joon Gi hopes that he would be able to turn more of his dreams into reality.
The King And The Clown
Many of his dreams have
already come true. No one could have predicted Lee Joon Gi’s accelerated rise
to Asian showbusiness stratosphere after he played the effeminate Gong Gil in
the colossally successful Korean movie, ‘The King and The Clown’ in 2005. It
was that single stroke of luck that changed the course of his life.
Since then, Lee has starred
in many successful dramas and movies including ‘Time Between Dog and Wolf’, ‘Arang
and The Magistrate’, ‘The Joseon Gunman’, 'Moon Lovers-Scarlet Heart: Ryeo', 'Lawless Lawyer' and 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter'.

The Joseon Gunman had
snagged him his second ‘Outstanding Korean Actor Award’ at the *Seoul International Drama
Awards in 2015. He was presented with the first one in 2013 for ‘Arang And
The Magistrate’.

Moon Lovers-Scarlet Heart
was an overwhelming global success in 2016; he enjoyed an even higher profile
and gained many new and unexpected fans and admirers. And nobody will ever forget
Lee Joon Gi’s Wang So.

Lee got his first taste of
Hollywood with his first North American movie role in ‘Resident Evil: The
Last Chapter’, a globally successful movie.
  
His most significant drama
to date is Lawless Lawyer, a deeply affecting legal-action-thriller, for
which he was presented with the ‘2018 StarHub Best Male Asian Star Award’.
With Lawless Lawyer, Lee Joon Gi has established himself as a formidable
presence; he is The Asian King of Dramas.

The point is Lee Joon Gi wants
more fulfilled dreams. Speaking of which, he has recently indicated that he
wants to win an Academy Award or Oscar. Wishful thinking? Not far-fetched.
What, if he were in a
movie? A foreign movie. If his multiple talents are fully utilised, his dream
would materialise and then, he will be a global presence. Asia isn’t enough,
of course but the world is just enough. The universe is much too vast a goal.
Let’s say what Lee Joon Gi
wants, he gets. It is possible. Shouldn’t his battle cry, then be ‘Joonpossible’?
When Lee asks his fans what
their dreams are, he poses a stimulating question. It takes a great
actor to awaken captive minds from their current slumber. This should
kickstart some thinking and stimulate his fans’ appetite for an even better life.
A PROMISE TO WORK HARD
AND
BE A CULTURAL DIPLOMAT

Other than the local audience, Lee has entertained many international fans and viewers, having gone on yearly singing tours in Asia and starred in many local and also foreign dramas and films.
That said, fans never forgot that he had disappeared from the showbusiness scene when he enlisted in the army in 2010. But when he returned, he continued as before. It is as if he has never left. In fact, he continues to leave indelible marks in Asian showbusiness history.

FOR US
CAN’T BE SLOW
ACCEPTED
Commanding
the respect of his fans and admirers and enjoying the influence over them, Lee Joon Gi is on the receiving end of their love. His fans send him congratulatory floral stands for his fan concerts and provide generous support for his dramas. They have also been carrying out
charity works in his name for a long time - like contributing ‘fan rice’ to the
underprivileged. Lee Joon Gi has been
in the spotlight in 2018 as his local and international fans had donated about 1,600 kgs of
rice to his favourite charities.
Lee Joon Gi, the Cartoonist, adds another talent to his resume:
He sketched a cute cartoon
picture to show his memorable moments in 2018
Lee Joon Gi, a heroic
figure to his fans, has been a great influence in Asia. He, himself, had been involved in local charitable causes in the past but now, Lee has gone global in
his charity work. He is collaborating with Represent, an America-based
company, for two weeks to further garner support for his favourite charity. He has added his personal touch by creating his own logo, 'Just Go Love' and designing the apparel and merchandise to be sold, the proceeds of which would be used for 'those who need love'. Lee's favourite colours - red, white and black are used in the designs.
FROM LOCAL TO GLOBAL
Recently, he was involved
in a Christmas charity project for underprivileged children which was held in
conjunction with Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday celebrations.

Having a healthy and
wholesome reputation, Lee has long been an Asian role model and he is now becoming a
great global influence. His appeal, having grown considerably wider, will make Lee Joon Gi the
ultimate Hallyu Superstar. He is the cultural bridge between Korea and the rest
of the world.
Perhaps, to fulfil his
dreams, Lee Joon Gi should go on a world fan tour, starting with America.
The last part of Lee's message contains an expression of his heartfelt thanks to his fans and wishes for their good health, happiness and
blessings to fill their homes.

since 2005, the year that the Korean movie, 'The King and The Clown' catapulted
him to stardom.
Lee Joon Gi is one of the only two South Korean actors whose dramas had garnered two prestigious 'Outstanding Korean Actor' awards at the Seoul International Awards shows. Lee won the awards for his drama, 'Arang and The Magistrate' in 2013 and 'The Joseon Gunman' in 2015. 
At the end of 2015, Lee was in South Africa to shoot his movie, 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter'.

the tunnel.

to acting performance in 2018, none has outdone Lee Joon Gi.
Thanks to the seasoned StarHub drama judges
who really appreciate and reward superior acting craft and talents, Lee Joon Gi is

years what others couldn’t after he was discharged from military duties in
2012. Lee Joon Gi's list of prestigious awards within that
