FIRST IGTV VIDEO

On 20.04.2020, a few days after his 39th birthday,
Lee Joon Gi uploaded his first video to IGTV on Instagram. For some of Lee's global fans, his age is something of a puzzle. According to the international age system, Lee should
be 38 years old on 17 April 2020. But, the unusual South Korean age-calculation
system determines that South Korean babies are 1 year old on the day of their birth and on 1st January,
they become a year older.
It is hard not to laugh at Lee Joon Gi’s first video on IGTV. The content is from the 'behind-the-scenes' interaction between Lee Joon Gi and some cast members of SBS’s Moon

humorous video is a joyous acknowledgement or response to his global fans’ birthday
greetings as well as their various 2020 projects that are carried out in his name.
