LEE JOON GI
HONG KONG DELIGHT
10 MARCH 2019
📷
One can say with absolute certainty that Lee Joon Gi’s Asia Delight tour of five Asian countries was indeed altogether very impressive. When you look back at the very beginning, you can’t help but smile. The tour started with Seoul. Then, Osaka and Yokohama in Japan. After Taipei was Bangkok. Last, Hong Kong. Namoo Actors’ President was convinced that the Hong Kong Delight concert was the best. Well, he was paying tribute to the Hollywood of the East.
📷
With hindsight, one’s conclusion is the same. It has to be the best. The last is the first. Nothing short of perfection. The incredible welcome. The fantastic fans. The exclusive, entertaining interview. The moving fan letter. The charity projects carried out in Lee Joon Gi's name. The dazzling gifts and unique foodstuffs with his image. The touching video clip shown in the concert. The lovely flower stands and decorations at the concert venue. The impressive media coverage and interest. The amazing concert. The zestful and exuberant audience. The warm and affectionate send-off. One has the impression that Lee Joon Gi has exerted a great influence over his Hong Kong fandom.
But then, all his concerts have been huge successes. And his Asian fans, like their beloved superstar, are the best; they are most intense and passionate.
The thing about Lee Joon Gi is he is passionate about everything. It is just part of the nature of Asia’s best-loved actor-entertainer. It was dramatic news when the public learnt that Lee had taken up temporary residence near the studio to prepare for his 'Delight' concerts. Endless creative discussions. Round-the-clock dancing and singing practices. Rehearsal after rehearsal. How Lee Joon Gi prepared for his Asian Tour is a direct reflection on the man himself.
After all the hard work and repeated routines at so many concerts, it was inevitable that ‘Hong Kong Delight’, the final leg of the tour, would be the most dynamic and amazing show.
None outside his fandom has given a serious thought about how each concert would all end. Lee is one of the rare superstars who truly care about their fans and he wanted each and every one of his concerts to be an amazing and fun experience. Due to his commitment and influence, his legions of fans in every city were galvanised to ensure that his tour in their city was a success. They had also given him a passionate welcome. Lee Joon Gi is truly a huge celebrity influence in Asia.

At the Incheon International Airport, on the day of his departure for Hong Kong, Lee wore a stylish Thom Browne navy cardigan which has a 4-bar arm stripe and button cuffs.
The cardigan, which was worn under a stylishly unbuttoned brown jacket, gave the outfit visual interest. Two oversized patch pockets with flap adorn the jacket.
Lee took off the striking brown jacket upon arrival at the Hong Kong International Airport and wore the Thom Browne cardigan on its own, as the centrepiece of his outfit.

One is often amazed by Lee Joon Gi’s effortlessly cool style. Being one of Asia’s style and fashion icons, he spells out the hottest styles and trends for each season.
But, does one have the feeling that he had worn the cardigan before?
📷
Upon his arrival at the Hong Kong International Airport, Lee must have been pleasantly surprised by the mania his presence had stirred. His army of fans had flooded the place; they surged forward upon the superstar’s appearance, plying him with gifts and bouquets of flowers. Basically, Lee Joon Gi loves people so his fans respond positively to him.
📷
On his return trip to South Korea, he wore a sage green Army Universe air force bomber pilot jacket. The reversible jacket, which has an orange lining, seems quite familiar. Aha! He wore it on Joongi’s Day last year.
Military Fashion. The original plain jacket had been jazzed up with some fashionable DIY ‘badges and patches’ embroidery. He wore the jacket over a military green t-shirt.
Lee Joon Gi dares to wear his clothes again; he even gives them a fresh new look. Mix and Match. Badges and Patches. If he is bold enough to recycle his stylish looks, then it must be stylish to do so. It just shows that Lee, the rocket fuel for the fashion industry, is not a dedicated slave to mindless fashion but is a trendsetter for recycling fashion.
📷
That evening, at Plaza Hollywood, an upscale shopping mall where the press conference was held, the hyper fans were seen swarming all over the centre court or crowding the circular balconies of two levels of the mall that overlooked the stage.
📷
📷
Imagine the 36-year old superstar in his classy navy pin-striped suit being mobbed by passionate fans of all ages. But then, the ageless Lee has that special charm and charisma that draws the crowds and make people snap to attention. Many young idols cannot be compared to Lee Joon Gi, 'The King of Entertainment'. Neither can older actors or entertainers. Handsome. Suave. Cool. Sophisticated. Charming. Charismatic. Humorous. Witty. Gorgeous. And so on.

The very interesting interview at the press conference in Plaza Hollywood was professionally conducted. The humour-infused interaction between the charming, intelligent and witty superstar, the adroit host, the helpful and insightful translator and the lively fans had many people in stitches. All of them contributed to an entertaining and stimulating evening.
📷
📷
📷
Having established an immediate connection with the audience, Lee drew them closer with his hilarious, playful and flirtatious ways. Cheeky winks. Finger hearts. Flying kisses. Pleasant words dripping honey. Pretending to be Cupid, the charismatic actor-entertainer shot imaginary love arrows at his fans. When the cameras panned in on him, he almost ran his face smack into the camera. He loves the camera and the camera loves him. All these antics amused his fans no end.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Hong Kong fan-written letter to update Lee Joon Gi on the many charity works the fans had carried out in his name, including one for his 37th (add 1 extra year for Koreans) birthday on 17 April. His fans have contributed a meaningful sum, HKD 41,700 for this purpose. In the past, they had contributed funds to make wells as well as purchase water pumps and bio-sand filters for those in need. His Hong Kong fans promised to continue the charity work.
📷
📷
A new project is in the pipeline - the rebuilding of schools in Nepal through ‘A Drop of Life’. One is reminded that Lee’s other Asian fans have also carried out such good works in his name.
This sends out the powerful message that Lee Joon Gi wields power as one of Asia’s biggest influencers, not only in showbusiness but also in the world of charity.
What was most amazing about the letter was that his Hong Kong fans had encouraged him to get married and start a family! Imagine little Joongis just as talented, charming and lovable as him conquering millions of hearts.
📷
The next evening, the Hong Kong Delight show started in a blaze of glorious reds. It was a swinging scene. Fun and merriment was encouraged in his concerts. The audience were blown away by Lee’s amazing performance - his awesome singing and dancing skills and brilliant showmanship. He is not just a great pop performer but also a great entertainer.
The talented and fascinating superstar was burning the stage with his boundless energy; it just took the audience's breath away.
Flying leaps. Sexy twists. High kicks. Vigorous hip-shaking. Sassy shoulder shimmies. Snappy hand jives. Dizzying and sensual dance moves. Breakdance moves - Kip ups (Kick ups) and so forth.
📷
As much as Lee enjoys dancing and singing for his fans, nothing beats seeing his fans’ faces light up and enjoying his concerts.
📷
📷
📷
Lee Joon Gi knows how to work the crowd. He was at all corners of the stage to talk to the audience. And, he, an expert charmer, beguiled them with his sweet talk. The superstar seemed to be able to persuade his audience into leaping to their feet. Even the staid ones were coaxed out of their cocoons and had a blast singing and dancing (to his tune) and their spirits were renewed. Like what the Cantonese would say, he is ‘hau tim sit waat’.
📷

For those in the know, Lee Joon Gi’s shows are successful because it always has an element of surprise. The audience were in for a treat. Surprise. Little did they know that Lee Joon Gi would discard his jacket and reveal his undershirt. The sexy man was rocking the singlet look; he wore a seductive white designer singlet or whatever you call it.
📷
📷
Unlike some singers, the intelligent and funny superstar did not shed his undershirt but left things to the imagination. His wicked provocation prompted many to call him ‘such a handsome and sexy beast of a man’ who was out for ‘his fans’ blood’. You would be out of your mind to take him to task over this. His female fans love it whenever he shows off his fit, taut body, sexy arm muscles and masculinity. They must have been trembling from the adrenaline rush. One wouldn’t be shocked if their legs gave out from swooning. No wonder he’s been called ‘Asia’s Weapon of Mass Seduction’.
Lee sang several famous songs in Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese including Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing’s ‘In The Sentimental Past’ from the movie ‘A Better Tomorrow’. Leslie, considered to be ‘one of the founding fathers of Cantopop’, rose to prominence as a teen heart-throb and pop icon of Hong Kong in the 1980s.

(A BETTER TOMORROW)

Lee also sang Jacky Cheung Hok Yau’s ‘Messy Hair’ and Teresa Teng’s ‘The Moon Represents My Heart.
The extraordinary singing ability of Jacky, a multi-talented artiste (singer, songwriter and actor), has made him one of Hong Kong's icons. It is amazing that in the fast-changing scene of Canto-pop, Cheung has been able to maintain his popularity for more than 20 years after his debut, a feat which is unparalleled in the history of Hong Kong pop music.

It is difficult for a foreigner to pull off singing in Cantonese but Lee has managed to do it. His correct Cantonese enunciation and intonation had lightened up the mood and stirred the enthusiasm of the audience; they realised that he had made such a huge effort to learn their dialect.
Lee Joon Gi did not know that a surprise was also in store for him. Some people might not have known that his Thai fans had produced a special video-clip, which charted his experiences in Thailand from the time he was in his mid-twenties to the present. The clip, when shown at his Bangkok Delight, had made Lee rather emotional.
📷
That 'delightful' episode had sparked the creative juices of his naughty Hong Kong fans who made most of their mischievous opportunities to have fun. They also produced their own video clip to take their beloved idol down memory lane. Nostalgia. The clip brought back Lee Joon Gi’s cherished memories of Hong Kong. Lee was transported back to the time when he was in his mid-twenties. Did his fans expect him to crumble before their very eyes?
Lee had the dawning awareness that his Hong Kong fans were recycling the video-clip tactic used by his Thai fans to trick him into being emotional. Lee smiled spontaneously and joked with them. He must have been full of admiration for their cleverness. One thing was certain; he was emotionally touched but he withheld his tears. Lee admitted that recently he had been wrestling with some problems; he alluded to his worries that made him vulnerable in his Thai tour.

Lee Joon Gi, who recently won Starhub’s Best Male Asian Star 2018 award for his role as the reckless lawyer in Lawless Lawyer, has won acclaim as an actor and entertainer ever since he acted in ‘The King and The Clown’ in 2005. His fandom stretched across Asia to include Hong Kong. The rest is history.
Lee Joon Gi’s fond memories of Hong Kong, which are tied up with the commercials that he made in the city, went way back to his mid-twenties. Where do we begin to tell the story of his lifelong bond with his Hong Kong fans? It is interesting to summon up the past.
Lee’s Pepsi commercial was made in 2008 and thereafter, he attended an astoundingly successful Pepsi Family press event at the Asia World Expo.
In the same year, he and Hong Kong artiste, Joey Yung, were involved in McDonald’s ‘Shake N’ Dip’ advertisement.
📷
He also attended other functions in Hong Kong.

Two years ago, he held his very successful fan concert in Hong Kong.
📷
Last year, he was on the cover of Elle Men Hong Kong and he was also invited to grace the opening of Vivienne Westwood’s Hong Kong flagship store.
Had he not done the commercials, he might not now be such a huge success in Hong Kong and Mainland China.

How many people have fantasized about going to a Lee Joon Gi concert but never went? Many must have regretted. But those who had missed it – no worries.

📷
Due to great fan demand, Lee did a startling Insta-live to announce the piece of good news that there will be an encore concert at Olympic Hall in Seoul on 28 April 2019. Lee encouraged his fans to celebrate the day with him. Lee Joon Gi strongly stressed: ‘We are The ONE Team’.

THE INTERVIEW
9 MARCH 2019

H = Host
JG = Lee Joon Gi
H
Welcome to Hong Kong.
Please say hello to your fans here.
JG
Hi, guys. (JG says greetings in Cantonese; Cantonese >) This is Lee Joongi.
I’m so happy to be here. I’ve been waiting to meet you guys so much. Hong Kong, you’re so BEAbeautiful. Thank you.
(Now in Korean >) I really missed you guys.
(To translator) What’s “I missed you” in Cantonese? (Cantonese >) ‘I missed you.’ (Korean >)
It feels so, so great being in Hong Kong.
(To someone off screen) Nice to meet you. You’re so beautiful. (English >) All the Hong Kong people are very beautiful. (Korean >)
I didn’t know you have this awesome shopping mall in Hong Kong. Are you guys really here for shopping? Is there any other reason?
(To translator) What’s “Did you miss me?” in Cantonese?
(JG speaks Cantonese) (Korean >) I really am very thankful to have so many people welcoming me.
H
Shall we have a seat and continue?
JG
Yes!
H
How do you feel coming back to tour in Hong Kong after two years?
JG
I am really happy. I am very sorry I feel like I haven’t kept my promise to my Hong Kong fans sooner.
(English >) But thank you for your super welcoming me. Super thank you. Super thanks to all of you. Thank you so much guys. Love you all, Hong Kong.
H
You said ‘I missed you’ to Hallyu fans in Cantonese.
What impression do you get from your Hong Kong fans?
JG
The Hong Kong fans are always passionate. That’s why I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
Are you ready to party tomorrow? (English >) Are you guys ready for party tomorrow night? Really? I can’t hear you.
Beautiful Hong Kong people, make some noise!
(JG says something in Cantonese)
H
Oppa’s Cantonese pronunciation is so good.
We’re told you prepared a lot for your Asia tour. Can you give us a little bit of a hint [on tomorrow]?
JG
That’s a top secret. It’s a top secret.
But instead, it’s not just because I haven’t been here in Hong Kong in a while, but it also marks the last show of my Asia fan meeting tour.
All my staff are feeling really sorry. So tomorrow, not just me but all my crew on this Asia tour will literally put everything they’ve got into the Hong Kong show. That’s all you need to know.
H
There are lots of directors and actors in Hong Kong. Who would you like to collaborate with?
JG
I say this every time I come to Hong Kong and do an interview, but I spent my adolescence watching Hong Kong movies.
Growing up I respected many Hong Kong actors and directors. So, Hong Kong feels so familiar to me.
If I can, I’d be very honored and happy to work with any director or actor.
I mean, you guys can recommend anyone to me on the social media.
Here, you guys have a lot of awesome artists. I’d be very happy to work in Hong Kong.
H
We’d love to see you with Hong Kong actors on the big screen.
JG
(To moderator) Let’s work together.
H
I’ll ask you questions we get from the press.
JG
Looking forward to it.
H
You are now here to meet your fans in Hong Kong after two years.
What part of Hong Kong did you miss the most?
JG
First of all, of course, it’s the fans. I really felt sorry. But my Hong Kong fans have always sent me endless support on the social media or the Internet, and for every event or fan meeting I’ve had, they have always given me support. So, I have always felt (their support).
I prayed I’d be able to see them again as soon as possible. Whenever I work on a project, my Hong Kong fans – as other overseas fans have supported me – are famous for always showing passionate and enthusiastic support. So, I am looking forward to it tomorrow.
H
If you have free time during your tour in Hong Kong, which must-see places do you want to go? Like tourist attractions or famous restaurants…
JG
Why don’t you guys recommend me some places? Where should I go? Could you guys recommend for me?
Your home? ‘Let’s go home?’ I don’t think I can go to the homes of so many people here.
But my wish is… Whichever country I go to, I always think the most fun part of a trip is doing something like a homestay.
Not just tourist attractions or places all tourists visit in that country, but I would love any opportunities where I can understand and learn its local culture.
Well, please invite me some day.
H
I think if you accept homestay invitations from all your fans, you might have to stay here for another two years.
JG
Sure, I will stay as long as possible.
H
In 2019, what project are you preparing? What are your plans this year?
JG
First off, thanks to your big support, I’m able to finish my Asia tour really well with Hong Kong as its last stop, so I am truly grateful.
I think I can see you guys again with a new project, maybe, sometime in the second half of the year.
I am thinking really hard about what project I should choose. Perhaps, tomorrow, on my last show in Hong Kong, I am hoping to get a lot of energy, enough energy for me to choose a great project.
You guys are going to give me that energy, right? Please give me some energy. I think it’s going to be great.
H
What part of Hong Kong do you think is most attractive?
JG
I mean, Hong Kong is famous for being one of the world’s most beautiful cities. It’s a city where I want to live once someday.
I think every person is very unique in their own way.
Many cultures coexist, and passionate and beautiful people mingle and blend into the city.
I think I can feel that kind of harmony here. Anyway, I think Hong Kong has such harmony to it.
(JG tries to repeat translator’s words in Cantonese)
H
You really have a talent in Cantonese.
JG
Is there any popular word in Cantonese used by young people? Like, words used by lovers.
(JG tries the Cantonese word) What does it mean?
(JG speaks Cantonese) But it shouldn’t sound so…
Make me sound not so humble, should it? (Fans cheer) (JG thanks them in Cantonese)
What’s “I really, truly, sincerely am grateful” in Cantonese? (JG tries the Cantonese phrase)
H
What do you do in your spare time, outside of work?
JG
Nowadays… I have always loved martial arts. The reason I love martial arts is because, as I said before, I watched a lot of Hong Kong action movies in my adolescence.
In fact, the reason I love action when working on a project is that I grew up watching a lot of Hong Kong action movies, I sort of internalized it [the experience of watching such movies].
So nowadays, I am in love with jiu jitsu. When I don’t have any activities on my schedule, I always make it a habit of going to the gym to train my body and mind.
H
You’ve worked in many genres.
Which particular genre do you want your fans to see you in?
JG
My fans want to see me in the romance genre as soon as possible. My face still looks good. So, my fans say, ‘While you still have that beauty, do [the romance] as soon as possible.’
I also keep looking for such an opportunity, and I am giving it a lot of thought, so please look forward to it.
H
So, your Asia tour is a great gift you are giving your fans.
Today, there’s a special gift your fans prepared for you.
JG
What? Surprise?
H
Lee Joongi, you have also done many good deeds with charity organizations… From 2015 to 2019, the fans have donated funds to a great organization.
So, we are handing that letter of appreciation over to you.
JG
Thank you. Thank you so much guys. I’ve actually heard a lot about it. I always learn a lot from my fans.
I will lead by example and work harder to spread and share the big love that you have given me.
(Receiving the letter of appreciation) Thank you.

JG
Thank you so much guys, thank you.
H
You have participated in a lot of charity projects. How do you feel (*not clear) every time you do it?
JG
First of all, as for these good acts of spreading love that I do with my fans… I think I am so blessed.
Even in countries where I was not born, as my Hong Kong fans have done for me, I am receiving big love from diverse groups of people, and I am living such a blessed life.
I think that’s why I have gotten such a great opportunity like this [to spread love]. I am sincerely thankful. It’s not just me… But you guys are here because you love Korean culture.
I will work harder with a greater sense of responsibility and gratitude, so I can lead by example and contribute to cultural exchange between Hong Kong and Korea.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
H
Now we are allowing the press and fans some photo time.
JG
Should I then put this (letter of appreciation) away…
(To audience) You’re done taking photos of this, right? Thank you so much guys. And the mic too?
H

JG
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Tomorrow, finally, finally! Tomorrow night.
Are you guys ready to party? Please look forward to my 2018-2019 Asia tour last show. Tomorrow night, in Hong Kong. Okay? Please come to my party.
Thank you. Thank you, Hong Kong, love you all. Love you. Thank you.
(To translator) What’s “I love you”?
(JG speaks Cantonese) See you tomorrow, and good night. Thank you so much. Thank you.
