10 things you may not know about Lee Joon Gi

On his Asia Tour name, ‘Thank You’

1/10

“The title came about because of the people I met in my past productions that I’ve been in and I would like to extend my gratitude to them.

Of course, there were a lot cooler names to choose from but I thought a simple ‘Thank You’ would be the best way to sum up my series of fan meets and tours.”

On his preference on singing or dancing

2/10

“I prefer dancing over singing because it’s more dynamic.

I know that my fans love it when I sing ballads and slower songs, but when I sing and dance at the same time, I know that they can also let down their hair to enjoy the performance.”

On filming drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

6/10

“I had so much fun participating in this drama with all the junior actors and actresses.

Since a lot of them are at least 10 years younger than I, I was nervous because of the generation gap. However, we interacted very well when the shoot commenced and our chemistry was great.

They brought a lot of creativity to the set which I thought was also refreshing. It was a lot of fun acting with the cast, so much so I wished that the shoot didn’t end.”

On being called most ‘Prince-like’ by co-star Kang Ha Neul

7/10

“I think I have the least ‘Prince-like’ traits. In my opinion, Kang’s role as the 8th Prince was most fitting of what a real prince should be. He portrayed his character well in the show.”

On his historical role as 4th Prince being transported to modern times

8/10

“I feel that even if the character was to time travel and appear in the modern era, he’ll probably still be a very attractive character.

But he may not fit into the culture very well because he likes to be in control and takes the lead so this inconsiderate side may make things tough for him.”

On his favourite sport

9/10

“Soccer! I enjoy playing and watching the game because I like living an active lifestyle.

Although my schedule has made it tougher to play the game frequently, I still like it very much. I’m like a little puppy; if somebody throws a ball my way, I’ll probably chase after it.

Of course, I love playing golf too!”

On his golfing skills

10/10

“It’s only been about four months since I started playing golf so I won’t say I’m very good at it. I’m still trying to get my posture right.

I’m very envious of the professional golfers here for their amazing skills.”
