2008.07.26 - 11:50am Right now I've just awoken

Hello everyone, I am Jun Ki.

The entire crew and cast of Iljimae who have put in their utmost effort during this period of time were together for a celebration yesterday. I’ve just awoken, and when I look around, I feel empty and depressed.
The people who have accommodated my shortcomings, who have worked with me for such a long period of time are no longer around; hence I feel an indescribable sense of depression.
I get this feeling every time a production is complete, but this time the feeling is slightly different.
It’s as if I have poured everything out… All of a sudden, Lee Jun Ki’s heart and mind is empty.

Our team has worked very hard throughout the past few months. Thank you for being such a strong backup force.
Although filming schedules were tight and sometimes difficult, the audience can feel the passion in our work as all of you have put in so much effort for this drama.
I wonder if we will meet each other again? ^^; We’ll meet again someday, and by then let us all be even better in our work.
Lee Jun Ki will definitely be a much more professional actor.

And to the fans who love this actor Lee Jun Ki, who support me crazily…
I cannot fully express my gratitude through words
The audience only knows of the popular drama series, but at the heart of it is the immeasurable support that all of you have given me.
Thank you all for trusting in the actor Lee Jun Ki, it has given me strength. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Really, I love you all.
I want to be an actor who does not disappoint the faith that audiences have in me…

Is it because what I have is not enough
Or that I have poured out so much energy into filming
I’m suddenly feeling empty…
I hope I can quickly recharge, start off on something new
The next production will again be full of pleasant surprises.

I should be learning more
But I don’t know why.. Now Lee Jun Ki is… Unemployed (as he is not doing any work now)

I really really want to thank everyone
I will meet you all again as soon as possible!

Because… I am Lee Jun Ki
Because… You all are Lee Jun Ki’s fans
I will work hard to achieve greater things...
Aja aja!

2007.06.18 Under the same sky

Hello everyone, I am Jun Ki.

Having completed my recent one month's schedules and activities in Thailand and China, I have returned home.
Even though my flight was delayed due to several reasons.. many of my Korean family members still came to welcome me and I thank you very much..
Actually I was worried a lot how to respond to your greetings when I returned..
Hearing noises as soon as the gate opened.. I became a fool (pabo) ..
I ended up in doing the same old 90 degree angled bow and salutes ...^^
Personally I like the Thai way of greeting that I learned in Thailand so much, and I was going to politely greet my Korean family by doing it.. it didn't work ..^^
I was afraid that I might cause trouble to people at the airport.. in spite of myself, trying to read other people's face, I went through so quickly.
I feel like something is missing,, ^^;
Please understand me.. I stll don't seem to be able to do it in a relaxing way..

First, I was so glad.. so grateful that I couldn't take my eyes off from you while I was in the car..
Whenever I think about that some people are always waiting for me, I become dazed with endless gratitude..
Not only those at the airport.. but also those in the websites as well.. I thank my Korean family members who encourage me everyday without fail.

I also thank my Chinese family..
From my arrival till my departure, you gave me so much attention and encouragement. I'm still thinking of you ..
It had been quite a long time since I had visited you last .... but you had been waiting for me with never-changing heart.. I thank you, my Chinese family, for having welcomed me.
I was so moved when you said, "please come back again for sure".
I will visit you often with my good movie productions and on good occasions .. I will make you happy ..
I love you..

I just came back from my drama reading.,,
Now my schedule for the drama resumes..
Having been overseas this time¡¦ besides reaping good results.. I also met many members of my family from far away countries, and it gave me an opportunity to receive new strength..
At the same time, the concern and encouragement from my Korean family also gives me strength..

For my schedules in Korea, I will do my best..
Thank you everyone..

P. S. In my previous message of greetings, I left out my Singapore family, I am so sorry. I thank my Singapore fans who came all the way to Thailand.
Did I leave out anyone else ?

2007 Thank you everyone... I am the most blessed Actor!

Hello everyone, I am Lee Jun Ki

I drank a lot with the filming crew yesterday… even now I am still having a headache… faint... faint…

I have not touched a drop of my favorite liquor during the mist of filming this drama... as a result, I got drunk after a while yesterday

I am full of regrets that I had to leave for home without giving a toast to the hardworking crew.

Hence, I would like to express my heart felt thanks to all the filming crew who had worked very hard!

If not for the frenzied energy of the filming crew, there will not be “Time of the Wolf and Dog”

Thank you, all of you. I love you all

Under the blazing hot sun, where we suffered, exhausted, we got our strength from the fans’ love and encouragement of “Time of the Wolf and Dog” who had accompanied us all this while.

As an actor, to be able to receive many well wishes and blessings from so many people at the end is something that is not easy. However, I have felt that I am indeed an actor who is blessed.

Once again from this drama, I felt and resolved that as long as I maintain a sincere and earnest attitude to perform my very best, everyone would be able to feel and see it.

Although there are a few areas which I felt was rather pity, but in order for me not to regret any further, I put myself totally into this role.

It is not only me alone; everyone around me had the same thoughts and feeling to want to produce the best drama under such a difficult production environment.

Thank you

Thanks to all who understood this passion...

Thanks to those who searches for this passion...

I thank that so very often, I am able to gain my strength from all of you…

This is the drama that everyone wishes to complete it together...

The numerous fans and the filming crew of “Time of the Wolf and Dog”

From now on, I will steel myself to be a much stronger and charismatic actor upon my return.

Ah... this drama… mentally exhausted...it is really an insane television serial... hahaha...
I would like to rest for a while

However, there are still my overseas schedules which are pretty tight.

I will rest only after I meet up with my overseas family.

Firstly, my families in Japan and China... wait for me!! These will be the first 2 places that I will be going ahh... hahaha

In short, thank you everyone!

I’m going to cry… I can’t write anymore…

Episode 1: Fan Meeting Q&A

Q: Where and when was your first kiss? I want to know who stole your lips.

JK: Well, this question is asked in every fan meeting. There are many opinions about my first kiss. That's because l change it every time. I think I did it in junior in high school. Whenever I have an interview, I recall the kiss scene. And I am confused when it was. It was when I was junior high school. In front of my girlfriend's house.

Q: In what clothes do you sleep? Nightclothes or a T-shirt? Or, a sleeveless undershirt? If you wear nightclothes, what color and what pattern? Tell us.

JK: Why should I wear something while sleeping? I don't wear anything. Sometimes, I sleep in a T- shirt, but I usually sleep in a trunk. I like to feel the soft and fresh hand of bedclothes.

Q: Do you sometimes find your own beauty in the mirror?

JK: Ah! In the mirror... It seldom occurs. But, sometimes I find myself sexy. I sometimes practice my facial acting in the mirror and I think about the role I might play. The most I looked into mirror was while filming 'King And The Clown '. My face was so keen in the past, but after the movie, it got a little smoother. I've never had a plastic surgery. There are many replies about Jun Ki Lee's plastic surgery, blah-blah. But, I have never did it. What about this pose? Chin up a little and look downward... If a man looks at this pose he might think it’s a crappy face. Nowadays, I have to usually act strong, I stare my eyes out.

Q: Nowadays, you are too busy even to sleep. In such a tight situation, how do you get rid of stress? You may get annoyed... How do you get rid of stress?

JK: Well... that's right... HaJunSe, SSaJunSe... well... Anyway, I look around several sites... In fact, I want to write many messages. But I write only in HaJunSe, LeeJunKi.com and my website (Jun Ki fan page).
What upsets me little is... you may be disappointed that... I didn't really do that. Because I was afraid I might forget it if I write on many sites. I selected them. Please understand me. After all, we are the same family. Anyway, when I am tired, I read your replies and change the background music of my website. And I play games and I have a drink.


Q: Who are in zero to five of the speed on your mobile phone? Who is more, man or woman? What are your mobile phone ring tone and coloring?

JK: Zero is father, parents, and my manager. Leave me your phone numbers before you leave. If I have a girlfriend, I will save her number in 0. And my phone number is... And if you meet my friends, ask them how rare I call them. I hardly call them, really. I have used my phone for 4 years but only 100 numbers are saved. Furthermore among them 40 numbers should be deleted.

And my phone coloring is 'Destiny', the OST of 'King And The Clown.' And for ring tone, what's you say? If 'Palpitating stalker' gets famous through this fan meeting. I will use it as my ring tone.

Q: How much do you spend in a month for pocket money? And on what do you usually spend?

JK: I received my allowances till junior or senior. After that, I worked for it...

Q: But, do you get any from my parents sometimes?

JK: I save everything I earn. I have nothing to spend on. And I invested a little here and there. And I will continue to spend money in fan meetings. This time is Episode 1, so it is not so striking but the next fan meeting will be doubled. You are dead meat!
And, I have a little get-together with my friends with the money left. Nowadays, I do not have much free time. So I have a drink with them sometimes. That's all.




Q: You said you could deal with four years older gals. Is it impossible if more than four years?

JK: Are elder sisters here? When I visit their Internet message boards, I find them quite old... And from only messages, they look like my real sisters. And I've never given a thought to four years older, just that four years younger and four years would be nice, on average. By the way, what does age have to do with love? This is not just lip service, I really think so.

Q: When I see you on TV, you seem to be very sweet. If you have a girlfriend, how will you make yourself delightful to her? Please show us.

JK: I am kind of sweet if I have a girlfriend. Say, just a short time ago, I studied the sweet behaviors for my girlfriend reading comic books. And nowadays, I have practiced some to show you. If you have known me in for years, you must know my Jjanggu behaviors. And I have uploaded my recent sweet behaviors on the website. This way, I am studying them by myself. I have developed a new item recently. I will show one to you on another stage. If I do odd behaviors, you may consider it as my sweet behavior.

Q: Your girlfriend comes out on a date with you. But, she wears lower-cut dress than usual times. She is gaudily dressed. Then, what would you do?

JK: I think it's natural. I will be thankful to her. How pretty will she be? She is my lover and she would have a strong personality. Now starting tomorrow... don't dress heavily...

Q: Do you believe in the world after death? Do you believe that a ghost exists? How about aliens?

JK: Who on earth ask me this question? I am one of those who believe in the existence of ghosts. But I think ghosts are not the existence to float and surprise people but the existence of an energy. In my case, I was too exhausted yesterday and I flopped on the ground. But today, on the stage, I am high-spirited. In other times, my legs gave away. We rehearsed till morning, and my legs were so weak to stand. But, while performing I never found it difficult. So, I was really worried. I believe in miracle rather than the existence of ghosts. So, it seems that you are more precious to me.



Q: What part do you want to play in the future? And what is the character you feel most confident?

JK: What did you say? You don't like the character I want to act. So, I think I should be a partner with a man every time. Just once... as an actor... As an actor, I wish I could act in a melodrama for once. a real melodrama not a sticky melodrama. You know, beautiful melodramas 'l cry for love in the center of the world.' Kind of young melodrama. I wish I could do it. And, there isn't a character that I am confident yet.

Q: I think you must be offended when you see your anti on the Internet. What do you think of it? Give me a straight answer, please. Thank you.

JK: Who is free from his anti? Is there anyone who comes from JunTiKa (Lee Jun Ki's anti site) here? JunTiKa... Yes? When I first saw my anti, I was really offended. And there was a shameful thing early this year. At first, I was too embarrassed to do anything for three days. It was my first time to be offended... Then, my family was the most helpful to me. Then, my fan increased by geometric progression. If anti messages got on, they removed them immediately. Oh! They were very aggressive. And now, actually I don't know what to say. I really enjoy it. Maybe, I get abnormal. Even in my case, I dislike a person for no particular reason. And I forget it if after a drink. In fact, it's impossible for me to have a drink with them one by one. I just enjoy it. They must forget it as time goes by. I think they are not those who concern about me for a long time and take me serious. They must think there is Lee Jun Ki who they want to make fun of. I don't care about it. And, if I really do something wrong, I would apologize to you first. I will not apologize to them first.

Q: What do you want to look like in 30 years as an actor, in family or in human relations?

JK: They ask me how many children I want. I like a daughter. But I may be afraid of letting her out. I want to have a son and a daughter. And I am not sure if I will be still an actor then. At present, I think I will keep on acting. If I do anything else except acting,... A singer? I think that an actor should act. It’s nonsense to be a singer. I will be a singer only at my fan meeting. I can be not only an actor but also a singer to you. If I sing anywhere, that's not what I want. I will not be a singer. I wish I could be just an ordinary person to earn just enough to live on.

Q: This is the last question. If you have a magic lamp to grant three wishes, what wishes would you make?

JK: First is to give a present to all of you although I cannot know how many are here and where you live. I want to give something to you all. The second is that my life could be extended. I wish to live long. The third is that my parents could stay healthy at all times.

Oh, it was the last thing. It's over. Well, how about this? I gave you straight answers. Do you think so? What is it used for if I tell a lie here? I said to ask me more intense questions. In the next fan meeting, use the message boards.

(2007) 'Virgin Snow' Premiere

The joint production , "Virgin Snow" filmed in Kyoto and Korea premiers on 12th May 2007 at Garden Cinema.

Present were Aoi Miyazaki, Ayaka Morita, Shun Shioya and Lee Junki who rushed here from Korea.

There were many fans from Japan but the majority of them came from Korea, clearly showing the extent of Lee Junki’s popularity.

Lee Junki addressed the audience in Japanese after he greeted them initially in Korean

Q: How do you feel, acting together with the Japanese actors and actresses?
Junki: Everyone worked very hard. In the beginning I felt very nervous as I’m involved in a production with many actors. However we got together very well and I felt very happy working together.

Q: Did you think of dating a Japanese girl after you had finished filming this movie?
(Junki thought for a while after he was asked this question. According to someone, the Korean fans kept repeating: No!!!)

Junki: No comment! (laughs)

The fans asked Junki to give another answer as this answer is not acceptable.

Junki: As fate has not shine favourably on me just yet, hence i do not think it is possible.

Han: Aoi is a very talented actress. There was a mixture of Japanese and Korean production crew, even the director is Japanese. There, the Japanese crew will learn the Korean language while the Korean crew will learn the Japanese language. Everyone hopes to work together to produce a very good movie.



Aoi lamented that she has forgotten much of her Korean as much time has lapsed after the completion of this movie.

Naname’s love encounters on separation and reunions

Aoi: Even though each misses one another; for 2 – 3 years, neither contacts each other. When they meet each other again, they found out that the person they miss had changed.



Once he heard that it is a joint production between Japan and Korea…

Shioya: I felt pretty nervous as this was the first time we collaborated together to film this movie. Furthermore, the production crew and Junki had to memorise the scripts in Japanese. Nevertheless every one of us got along very well.

To teach, guide Min, the character Junki plays in the movie on the ways to romance a Japanese girl.

Shioya: I feel that it is very difficult, however Junki felt that it is very OK and he even taught me how to express my love in Korean… it was you who taught me, right??

Upon hearing what Shioya said.. Lee Junki immediately retaliates in jest…

Junki: Actually you are the one who had remembered this incorrectly I think. (laughs). I didn’t say this before, what I taught him was “The Sky! The Earth! I love you!! (In Korean)

Now how does Ayaka Morita who plays a high school student feel?

Ayaka: I feel very happy as all of us were strangers to each other when we first met, but right now we get along very well!

The main song for this movie was specially tailored and sung by Naotaro Moriyama which is guaranteed to attract the audiences’ attention.
