On 18th, Lee Jun Ki wrote on his Twitter, "6 months of journey is now done. I feel so sad that I should say goodbye to the staffs, actors, and directors, who were all closer than family members. I should meet each and every one of them, share some drinks, and express my thanks."
He continued, "Thank you to the fans and viewers who showed some amazing support for the drama. I'll be back soon with another great drama and character! I always learn a lot from you. Thank you."
Lastly, he said, "I'm a bit worried that I might have not showed the best of me, because it was my first drama after the military service. However, I think I've done everything fine thanks to everyone's support."
Lee Jun Ki finished his military service in February, and he chose MBC 'Arang and the Magistrate' as his first comeback drama. He casted as Eun Oh, and made many viewers restless with his sincere love for Arang.

Arang Magistrate, lee jun ki, MBC
Lee Jun Ki was really the actor to watch in MBC's "Arang and the Magistrate."
On Thursday, the drama came to an end, as the two of them finally met their happy ending.
On the night of the third full moon, Eun Oh and Arang (Shin Min Ah) were able to find a place in the forest that deals with life and death, thanks to the help of Psychic Bang Wool (Hwang Bora).
Eun Oh finds out that Arang herself was partly responsible for her own death and he goes to find the Jade Emperor and Yama and ask them for help in order for Arang to ring the bell of truth. Because Arang was responsible for her own death, the bell of truth never rang and had to go into the underworld.
However, at the last minute, Eun Oh decides to go into the underworld for her and Arang is then able to ascend to heaven. When the Emperor and Yama see that Eun Oh sacrificed himself for Arang, he tries to send him to heaven but Eun Oh requests that he be returned to the land of the living.
In the ending, Eun Oh and Arang are reborn and meet later. Eun Oh is not able to remember Arang but the two of them share a sweet kiss afterwards.
Lee Jun Ki chose this drama as his comeback piece, playing the role of Eun Oh, the sacrificial man in love with a ghost. Lee Jun Ki had achieved fame through "The King and his Man" and had achieved very positive reviews from his other projects.
Through historical dramas, Lee Jun Ki was properly recognized for his acting ability and star potential but people worried that it might just become stale. However, he was able to portray the subtleties of emotion as well as action, and a very good romantic relationship with Shin Min Ah.
Fans are anticipating that Lee Jun Ki will come back to the public with different roles and characters.

Lee Jun Ki wants to continue on his serious humble path
By Korea Star Daily
After 3 years of hiatus, actor Lee Jun Ki recently made his small screen comeback through 'Arang and the Magistrate'. In his interview, he first thanked Shin Min Ah for giving him confidence to act in a comedy, revealed his thoughts on ending filming, and also the various stress he had regarding his comeback.
"I was quite worried to be honest. I had a great amount of stress as it was my comeback drama, but thankfully everyone seemed to like it, so I felt really happy. But I don't feel like I'm in the stage of an actor as yet. I didn't prepare much as I had just been discharged from the army. It feels like I was dragged to the judging panel. The discipline in the army was rigid and firm, and you had follow orders from the top. I was worried that my 2 years would diminish my aura as an actor. I was also afraid that I would be like a robot or puppet filming the drama, at least that's what I thought prior to filming."
Despite carrying a lot of burden on his shoulders, his stress level leveled out as the drama begun airing on television. In addition, he had sought to interact as much as possible at the filming site with the director, cast members, and production staff. He said, "I had a lot of stress, so I had hoped that it was like filming at my home base. So I first approached them and poured out my feelings. It did help to lessen my stress levels, and we even drank to improve our chemistry."
Lee Jun Ki also took special training in fighting for the drama, and worked really hard throughout the filming with the staff members. Although each scene left a deep impression on him and was enjoyable to him, the reaction from viewers weren't as explosive as anticipated. The average rating for the drama was only 12.8%, and failed to garner sufficient popularity among viewers despite the presence of Lee Jun Ki, Shin Min Ah, and the heavy promotional tactics by MBC TV as their top drama for the latter half of 2012.
"It's true that there was some regrets about the drama. If I said no, that would be disregarding reality. The image setting of Eun Oh as a bad-tempered magistrate didn't have much spark. My role in 'Iljimae' previously was like this too, acting like a street punk and it was really interesting for me as an actor, as I could approach acting it from different angles. But the director told me to not destroy the image, I felt that no matter how much of a punk Eun Oh is, he would have his own character, so I begun to slowly correct the tone and actions of Eun Oh in the latter episodes. I don't like to execute things without saying it out first, so I would interact with people beforehand."
With 'Arang' failed to break the 15% mark, Shin Min Ah need not realize her agreement to dance to 'Single Ladies'. It was speculated that Lee Jun Ki had taught Shin Min Ah in private, leaving many to anticipate seeing it. "I didn't teach her, we only did the dance for the production staff to see only. Shin Min Ah even asked me to do it in future. There was much anticipation so the agreement was made because of that. Many were disappointed that it couldn't be realized, and often makes mention of it. Sometimes, I do feel that ratings are really difficult to grasp. But upon seeing that ratings were pretty constant throughout, I am really thankful to the viewers. There are many dramas who have single digit ratings, so I was quite relieved in a way."
The romance of Lee Jun Ki and 'Arang' Shin Min Ah was one of the highlights of the drama. "I was quite stressed at the beginning, as I had just been discharged, while Shin Min Ah was one of the more popular actress out there. I wasn't sure if I could keep up with her tempo. I felt that actresses have their own prejudices, and was afraid that it would be hard to get along with one another. But I realized later that I had worried too much. From the script recital session until the beginning of filming, she displayed a very positive attitude throughout. It wasn't easy with the role of 'Arang' as it required her to jump up and down, and disregard her usual image. It wouldn't be easy to reprise her role if she only wanted to look nice. Shin Min Ah has a strong will and gave me lots of energy. She also helped me out a lot and was also my senior. After getting to know her, I realized why she is so adored my many. She knows her flaws and knows how to cover them appropriately. I tried really hard to get into a good relationship with her and it became better as the filming went on. When the script came late, we discussed about what could happened in the coming episodes. Although she has been in quite a number of dramas, she has a stronger image through commercials. So I was worried that she might not do a good acting job. But she really let it all out, and it was really amazing to see her brimming with so much passion for acting."
"I did not lose anything because of this drama. Maybe because this is my comeback drama, so I had a lot of stress. But because of the love from viewers, the filming ended successfully, this makes me happy and helped to regain my confidence."
Lee Jun Ki knows how to find happiness in his present situation, and also knows how to distribute this happiness to people around him. His speedy infectious tone, and over the top antics have certainly endeared him to viewers. Finally, he said, "I hope to continue like this, one step at a time, improving my acting ability along the way. There are no shortcuts. You simply have to continue learning and gain that experience. I will continue along my path in a serious and humble manner. |

Lee Jun Ki is jealous of films that has more than 10 million admissions
Korea Star Daily
After 3 years of hiatus, actor Lee Jun Ki recently made his small screen comeback through 'Arang and the Magistrate'. In an interview he revealed, "Films that have more than 10 million admissions makes me envious and jealous, hahaha."
With reference to films like 'Gwanghae: The Man who became King', 'The Thieves' surpassing 10 million admissions this year, Lee Jun Ki expressed, "They are all actors who really act well, so the viewers have a certain degree of trust in them to deliver, moreover the storyline was really interesting. I think as long as you work hard, you will get a good opportunity. Korean films gives everyone a certain amount of credibility. When it is my turn, I will also let viewers feel that I can be trusted. I am just happy thinking about this."
Actually, Lee Jun Ki was also the main lead of a film that gained more than 10 million admissions in the past. After 'Silmido' and 'Taegukgi', 'King and the Clown' became the third film in Korean film history to surpass the 10 million admissions mark and allowed Lee Jun Ki to taste what popularity felt like overnight. "'King and the Clown' was definitely a lucky break for me, but it was boom and bane for me at the same time. Many scripts that I received in the aftermath were similar to my role in 'The King and the Clown' as many type casted me as Gong Gil, so I was happy yet sad at the same time. So I thought to myself that I was just going to act in something that I wanted, and I was lucky that reaction from viewers were good. From the start, I felt that regardless of what I did, I was already type casted for life."
Because of 'King and the Clown' explosive success at the box office, Lee Jun Ki won a huge amount of love from viewers and was forcibly labeled with all sorts of tags. After several failed films attempts in the aftermath, Lee Jun Ki was finally able to transform his image with a stellar performance in drama 'Time between Dog and Wolf', and regained his fan base back. "'Time between Dog and Wolf' allowed viewers to see that Lee Jun Ki can actually act in such a role other than Gong Gil. The role was a vivid one and I was able to cast away my pressure and gained more confidence. Without considering about transforming my image, I felt that as long as I work hard, I would be rewarded. Viewers feel that I am very feminine, but it's not that. Gong Gil was the hardest role for me, but director Lee Jun Ik didn't allow me to say much. So I didn't say much during interviews, hahaha."
His role as a NIS special agent in the 2007 drama 'Time between Dog and Wolf' saw Lee Jun Ki embroil himself in several scenes where he had to get beat over and over again, showing viewers his maturing image and his passion. Following the conclusion of 'Iljimae', Lee Jun Ki made the decision to enlist, and take a temporary leave from the industry. After his discharge, he took on 'Arang and the Magistrate' and made a successful comeback, showing his brand new side to viewers.
"I really want to act as a king, like Sejong in 'Deep Rooted Tree'. But it probably won't be welcomed by viewers as my age isn't a good fit. In addition, I lack the experience. I hope to give it a go if an opportunity arises in future. But the king that I hoped to reprise the most is Yeonsangun."
Before filming begun for 'Arang and the Magistrate', Lee Jun Ki made a visit to several overseas countries to greet his fans first. He expressed, "I had overseas concerts but it doesn't mean that I am going to be a singer. It was just a few fan meetings. The albums that were given to fans was a present. If I am going to release an album, it would be disrespecting singers who have been singing for a few years. My level of singing is only suitable to be shown in front of my fans."
Lee Jun Ki also expressed his thoughts on Korean singers debuting on the global stage and spreading the Korean wave. He said, "PSY's 'Gangnam Style' is really superb. When I was in the army, there was once when he came in for a performance. At that time, my image of him when he gave me a choco pie is bigger than the one he has currently. He has now set a record that is simply legendary. I also see that regardless of what country you are in, many are in love with Korean artists, and this makes me feel proud."
He continued, "I also have experience of overseas events. I would feel deflated every time overseas reporters point out some flaws of Hallyu stars. I would be lost and feel that I must raise my own ability. To them, Korean artists are just stopping by to earn their money, don't know how to give thanks. I am actually pretty upset that they think this way. This is because our culture is ingrained with the fact that we would repay kindness with kindness. I always wish that I can do even better."
Lee Jun Ki also revealed that the passion of overseas fans leave him feeling stunned. "Overseas fans would go to the airport to receive us. And there were times when I asked a fellow airline passenger whether he/she met with such a situation before. Some say that such scenes would only happen if Korean stars were here. Even if Michael Jackson came here, scenes like this might not happen. The presence of Bae Yong Joon is sufficient to paralyze the whole airport and exemplifies the power of Hallyu stars."
'Arang and the Magistrate' allowed Lee Jun Ki to flex his martial arts, investigate, fight, and his romance with Shin Min Ah allowed viewers a glimpse of his all-around acting ability. Many are anticipating to see what sort of image will Lee Jun Ki greet them with in his next work.
He concluded, "I hope to continue on my earnest and humble path. My mental condition is currently at its best, and I have completed my national service. I can continue to work hard without any added stress. I won't forget my rhythm and focus, and one day I can become a representative actor of Korea, an actor with potential, an actor that is trustworthy, I like all those tags, hahaha." |
