 Lee Joon Gi has clinched the title, 'The Most Popular South Korean Actor in Turkey in 2020'. A
popularity survey involving 12 popular South Korean actors was conducted
among Turkish K-Drama lovers by Beşiktaş Medya Group in 2020.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CJimesNJm1V/  Lee, who garnered the most votes, has recently received global rave reviews and accolades for his brilliant portrayal of an emotionless ‘psychopathic’ personality in the suspense-melodrama, Flower of Evil (2020). The multihyphenate superstar from Asia has captured global attention and imagination since he catapulted to fame and popularity after starring in the movie, The King and The Clown (2005). He has proven his talents and commercial worth again and again in his movies and dramas. His other famous works include Time Between Dog and Wolf (2007), Joseon Gunman (2014), Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016), Lawless Lawyer (2018) and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, one of the highest grossing movies in 2017. Unsurprisingly, Cultura, the South Korean magazine for the arts and culture, has recently proclaimed Lee Joon Gi as the ‘2020 Icon’ (Drama) for his latest success, Flower of Evil. Flower of Evil has made the landmark achievement as the globe's first 'SUSPENSE-MELODRAMA'. The unique plot of the 16-episode drama is as riveting and relentless as it is melodramatic. The drama, directed by Kim Cheol Kyu, an international award-winning director, can be described as ‘a high-octane suspenseful thriller-cum-an intense, emotional tale of love and devotion’.
Lee Joon Gi's fans might like to know that Turkey, a country which possesses one of the world’s most beautiful and picturesque natural landscapes, is a mandatory travel destination.  Cappadocia and Pamukkale are two of the many fascinating places in Turkey. The fairytale-like volcanic rock formations of Cappadocia make one think of enchanting fairies and elves frolicking there. And, the sparkling white Pamukkale travertine terraces are simply out-of-this world. But, most people are not aware of what must be Turkey’s most extraordinary miracle. On 20 August 2006, the Virgin Mary House in Ephesus was spared from the flames of an enormous fire that destroyed 1,200 hectares of forest. The flames stopped one metre short of the shrine.   |
