(English Translation)       
The wind that brushes through you brushes through me
The sunlight that shines on you shines on me
You and I, in the same world, live in a different world

I miss you so much my heart hurts
Without you, I'm pathetic
The yearning that I feel after waking up is like a flood after rain
I'm searching for you crazily

Just one word of 'I love you', just one word of 'come back'
The tears flow before I can speak the words filled up in my heart
I failed to catch you before I could just say one word

The love that's burst
There's not a place to even hide it anymore
Farewell is lazy, sending you away from me

Because it's always pushed back until tomorrow

Although my clock stops and I know you're getting farther away, I still wait

Just one word of 'I love you', just one word of 'come back'
The tears flow before I can speak the words filled up in my heart
I failed to catch you before I could just say one word

The one thing that hurts more than not being able to say that one word
Is the fact that I never got to hear what I wanted from you

Just one word telling me you loved me, just one word saying you were happy
Regret and my lingering attachment is still here
How could I forget you, even if you forget me?

Don't Know Love

Like how our love was easy,
Our parting was easy just like so,
Like how easy it is to break a glass ball,

I had no idea that it was the same with our love
Really don't know love,
I really don't know love,
And like a fool, I failed to catch our love

Our love was really
Our love was really precious
That I know now

Like how our love was easy,
Our parting was easy just like so,
Like how easy it is to break a glass ball,
I had no idea that it was the same with our love
Really don't know love,
I really don't know love,
And like a fool,
I failed to catch our love
Our love was really
Our love was really precious
Don't forget that

Is it the end when you give someone your heart
Is it the end when you love once
Can you give your heart to someone else?
My love is, my love is...
A far-sighted love
So I can't see anyone but you
I can't love anyone but you

Really don't know love,
I really don't know love,
And like a fool,
I failed to catch our love

Our love was really
Our love was really,
Precious, don't forget that
You know it was

Foolish Love

It's really foolish love, it's really foolish love
I don't know anyone else but you, you're the one I love
Yes, it really is foolish love
To believe in love is foolish
You shouldn't be fooled by love
That's what I always used to think
But this time I really don't know
I can feel myself changing everytime I see you
Although I try and pretend like I don't know it
I didn't know that this was love
I really must be a fool
It's really foolish love, it's really foolish love
I don't know anyone else but you, you're the one I love
Yes, it really is foolish love
I really dislike love stories
They're all the same
Always the same beginnings and obvious endings
I don't like that kind of love
I can feel myself changing everytime I see you
Although I try and pretend like I don't know it
I didn't know that this was love
I really must be a fool
It's really foolish love, it's really foolish love
I don't know anyone else but you, you're the one I love
Yes, it really is foolish love

Rap::
My love for you is foolish because all I can do is watch you
My foolish heart and brain is filled with you, I'm a fool
The desire to give you everything you want,
The desire to always be with you
I'm not even sure if you know or don't know of my love
I'm a fool

You're my love, you're my love
Without you, there is no me
You're the only love for me
It's really foolish love, it's really foolish love
I don't know anyone else but you, you're the one I love
Yes, it really is foolish love
It's foolish love

Junki's Message (11/8/06)

Hello! It's JK.   
How've you been?? It's been too hot.......  It's better to stay at home when days are like this.....^^   
On Saturday, stage greetings wiil be over.  These are the last schedules in the first half of the year..   
Youguys say that it is tantalizing doing publicity activities alone..
However, I think that these aren't only public relations, but also sort of chances   to meet you who live in other regions.....  
I'm so pleased to meet cinema audiences who have affection for my work.   
After the schedule on Saturday, I'm gonna devote myself to work expecting better next year ...  Of course, I've got some occasions for drama but nothing sure...    I wanna enjoy myself doing stage greetings and have experience of audiences' significances   and graciousness. ( It's my desire......^^; )      
I know you've felt restless because of FD.....  
You know, I've got something to do without numbers......  Let's have nothing to worry about~~~~^^   
Only sultry weather makes me exhausted......hoo hoo~~~  
I'm ready to send all my worries to Andromeda with a spaceship......ㄲㄲㄲㄲ      
Please do not worry about anything.....
At least, I'm enjoying all my circumstance~~   
Be happy~~  
Life is life~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!

[07.19.06] Lee Junki, "I Wish My Face Would Get Older Quicker"


<JoyNews24> "I dislike my face because it's limited to certain roles."

Movie star Lee Junki revealed his true feelings on his greed for acting and the boundaries that come with his appearance. When talking about Lee Junki, who rose to stardom with the movie 'The King's Man', it is hard to leave out the often-said phrase 'The man prettier than women'.

It is true that the current image of Lee Junki is focused on his 'fine featured' face. When compared to his talents for acting, his sincerity and his hard-working style, his face is still the most recognized.

Lee Junki knows that all of his popularity, attention towards him and the many expectations people hold are much because of his appearance. To Lee Junki, whose greed towards his growth as an actor and craving of being acknowledged for his acting talents were huge, his face was something he figured was an obstacle that he would have to pass.

Lee Junki, who is awaiting the release of movie 'Fly Daddy' under the watchful eyes of everyone around him, recently confessed to JoyNews24 in an interview the negativities of his own face that most other people are envious of.

"Sometimes, I wonder, "Why do I look like this?". I wanted to do a wider range of acting, but I realized that my image was now limited. I worked hard to make the image of 'GongGil' in 'The King's Man', but now everyone sees me as just that--the image of GongGil." Lee Junki says that there are a lot of things he wants to show us, and that he has the confidence to work just as hard.

"I feel that I'm not an actor who was born to be naturally good at acting. I'm an actor who has to work hard and learn a lot. To able myself to do more versatile characters, I wish that my face would get older quicker." Lee Junki is envious of senior actors who have surpassed the sharp age of their twenties well into their thirties, with generous faces, who are admirable to him.

"I'm most envious of the face of Lee MoonShik senior, someone I worked with on my latest movie. I told him, "Senior, you're very handsome", and he got mad. But I really do like the wrinkles on his face, the wrinkles that give off the feeling of ability. I hope that my face can get older quicker with wrinkles so that I can put more passion into my appearance." Lee Junki, however, knows as much as he's envious of Lee MoonShik's wrinkles that there is no way he can age faster. He says that he knows that it will take time to attain the experience-filled wrinkles, full of ups and downs.

Lee Jun Ki doesn't like brand names & hasn't changed his image after becoming famous

Reported by Ou Jia Xing/Zhong He Press

Lee Jun Ki, who is currently worth ten million, has surprisingly not bought an expensive car for himself. Instead, he depends on his management's cars or friends' cars for transport, giving his earnings to his family. He is also so frugal that he barely concerns himself with brand names.

Korea's hottest star Lee Jun Ki's popularity and value have risen sharply lately, but even though the sums he commands for endorsements are hefty, he is still a 'brand name ignoramus', interested solely in shooting films and nothing else. He is unafraid of people calling him unrefined, but focuses on doing his own thing.

Lee Jun Ki is currently promoting 'Fly Daddy' and in the process, has been interviewed by Korean media. When asked about his day-to-day life, Lee Jun Ki said frankly that he had no interest in cars, clothes or current trends, and did not even understand brands. Save for drinking with friends, he normally did not spend lavishly, because all his earnings went back to his parents for safekeeping and handling.

Lee Jun Ki's parents are also working hard still. Even though their precious son has become a top star commanding huge paychecks, and their family's wealth has been increasing, unlike most parents who would quit their jobs to enjoy life, Lee Jun Ki's parents continue to work. Lee Jun Ki said, "My family is often apart; I'm usually in Seoul, Father is in Ansan, Mother in Chae Wan and my sister in Woo Chun."

+++++++++++

Lee Jun Ki secretly buying mansion

Although Korea's most popular actor Lee Jun Ki has been signing contracts nonstop for film projects and endorsements, and earning huge sums, the actor has mentioned in an earlier interview that the big bulk of his earnings are entrusted to his parents for handling and saving, with the intention of being used to buy a big house next time.

Lee Jun Ki has said that even though his earnings have substantially grown, he is still very thrifty and has no interest in branded clothing and cars. The clothes he normally wears are selected by his management, as he is too lazy to purchase them, and the cars he uses for transport are either provided by his management or he gets a lift from a friend. Also, he has said that he doesn't have interest in driving, so he won't consider getting a car.

AGAINST There are many twisted stares from those who wonder, 'How far will that kid go?'. Even with a small mistake, you trip and fall. They say that the odds for maintaining your popularity is 50 to 50. Supporters 50, anti's 50. I gained my popularity in an instant. There are probably more criticizers than supports. I'm the kind of person to get stressed easily. The popularity is only supposed to go up so far, but it just keeps going up, so many people are suspicious.

BEAUTY The prettiness stopped after <The King's Man>. (laugh) I live in a guyish way. I don't even wash that often. I'm also shabby in <Magnificent Vacation>.

CHARACTER Roles that are comical and those that fall down easily aren't fun because I tried it in <Flying Boys>. I don't think that's really my specialty. My actual personality is also pretty spaced out. My friends got disgusted, seeing me act silly when I'm really cynical and strong-minded. (laugh) I really didn't do it to my friends. There are times when I find myself funny, so I couldn't just be like, 'why are you laughing', or 'what are you doing', to them.

DREAM As an actor, I really want to go to the Cannes. My biggest dream is to step on the red carpet in a foreign country's film festival, and the next is to have the movie I starred in to be screened there. Actors dream of having a lot of audiences watch their work.

EXPERIENCE Nowadays, I go through a lot of diverse experiences mentally. Since I've been locked up, since I've been receiving a lot of attention, I think from 1 to 500 (note: this means that he thinks thoroughly of everything). I do this because when I'm busy with work, I can only think of one thought. In that aspect, I've lost a lot and also gained a lot. As an actor, it's good to pile up all the loneliness to burst out later.

FAVORITE A snack I have a fondness for..? If I say it, it becomes an advertisement. Just recently, I said the same of an alcohol and the sales went up. I keep receiving boxes of alcohol at home. Ha Ha. What do I like. I don't eat sushi anymore because I got tired of it. Ha Ha. In the past, when I didn't have any money, I always really wanted to eat sushi. I seriously ate this much (raises hands up to his head) sushi. About 800 dollars' worth? By variety, even the rolls, in Japan. After having indigested it in my stomach, how could I find it tasty anymore? Ha Ha Ha.

GOLDEN BOY (Do you think you've become a star too early?) Actually, I think it's better to have a taste of it. After collapsing, I can just act relaxedly. Sometimes it feels like life's fantasy, having gained popularity.

HAIRSTYLE (We heard that your hair is still the same long one in <Magnificent Vacation>?) That would be an article that came out wrong. It's not a short cut, but it's more of a sporty long. Because of the next production, I couldn't cut it all off, so I'm using a wig instead. It took a month for the wig to complete. It's a bit awkward, but when you see it, you can't tell it's a wig. I'm not doing this because I like the hair now, but if I cut it then I can't do the next production. The fans who come to the filmings say the short hair is cute, but they don't even allow you to take pictures, to surprise everyone.

IDENTITY I'm still the same. I don't know what to do. People say, 'He's gotten arrogant, and he uses a lot of money', but truthfully, I don't have time to use any money, and it's embarassing. I just get the thoughts of, 'Why does everyone think so?'. I sweat with disgrace, bad enough that I can't even raise my head. My fans say that they'd like it if I walked around with my shoulders open, because ever since I gained popularity, I've always walked like this (narrows shoulder). Sometimes I wonder what I should do.

JEALOUSY Like senior actors Jo SeungWoo and Hwang JungMin, I get envious when I see other male actors' productions. 'They did it really well, I want to try that'. If an actor doesn't have jealousy, then he doesn't have greed. Every time I see a movie with expression and mental changes, I feel as though I've eaten chaldduk. (note: he means that he feels not very good).

KEY FOR THE STAR (Why do you think you gained popularity?) This is a really difficult question. If I knew the answer, I would continue to gain more popularity. The answer is, well, that all I do is try and work hard. All I want to is return the gift with gratitude.

MELANCHOLIA (Depression?) It's extreme. Tears form, and I get so mad that I punch walls. It's become worse recently, from staying at home too long. It's not because I didn't get to go out and have fun, it's more because I don't get to meet a lot of diverse people. There's been times when I've gotten overly angry. There was a time when I lost my mind after drinking a bottle of beer at home alone. It's stifling. There are too many people who judge me excessively past the borderline. I think I piled it up until then and burst out that day. Still, I'm relieved that it happened at home.

NEXT MOVIE <Magnificent Vacation>. The first filming scene is an emotional one, and I'm relieved that senior actor Kim SangKyung makes me feel relaxed. He's a senior actor who doesn't save compliments. Normally, senior actors keep compliments to themselves. I think I have good luck with senior actors. Senior actor Ahn SungKi, who is starring in this film, has also been nice to me at the screen quota protests.

OWN I personally enjoy rock group performances. My dream was to perform in front of a large audience when I gained a lot of popularity. This fanmeeting was better than having success at <The King's Man>. This was because I got to call in a bunch of people who liked me and got the chance to return the favor to them. And also got to stand onstage alone and show them. Ha Ha Ha Ha. I used up four month's worth of money.

PROFESSIONAL The same age actors say that it's rude when you teach each other while acting. The senior actors point out mistakes even if I don't ask them to. Although they're better, it's normal that a junior actor doesn't do as well. (laugh)

QUOTA (Do you feel the reality of your popularity?) Ha Ha Ha. Chances to work with admirable senior actors I like come often, and there are more opportunities now that I'm recognized. I feel it when I can't feel the grief because of the many opportunities to try coming my way.

RELIGION I was originally Christian, but because of my grandmother, I switched to Catholicism, but now I'm not anything.

STIMULATION To be strong, you have to be able to take in any stimulation from around you. I'm trying my best to be the strongest I can be, and I should just suck in any shocking things people say to me, but because I jumped into the flow I'm in at the moment so quickly, there's a lot to take in. I'm taking in the feelings other friends would feel in one year in, instead, 3-4 months. Everytime I do something, the reaction comes instantly, and I have to be able to sort things out just as fast, but it's hard to do it all at once. And recently, there has been a lot of judgement from the past six months.

The phrase one can most easily put next to actor Lee Junki's name is 'a man more beautiful than women'. To an actor, these words could mean poison or medicine, and Lee Junki has chosen to make it a strong point of his career. Even up to the filming of <The King's Man>, Lee Junki probably felt uneasiness towards the future of his acting days. However, <The King's Man>, which broke records in the korean movie industry, brought large changes into the life of his acting career. Lee Junki, who is now wrapped around in confidence about acting, attempts to be even more unusual with the movie <Fly Daddy>. Max Movie met actor Lee Junki, who tries to bring out the best of his characters with his brilliant looks.

#1. Walking the way of being an actor between heaven and hell

The starting point of an acting career is the desire to do it. He discovered the road he wanted to follow after being dragged to a small theatre by a friend of his who was studying theatre in the 10th grade. Lee Junki, who felt the thrill from the actor standing onstage, decided then that he wanted to be the kind of person who gave others that same feeling also. "I was envious of the looks from the audience that the actor onstage received. I was so full of admiration to that actor, who could control the audience's emotions, that he even looked like God."
Although he is a star that everyone in the nation now recognizes, the looks he used to receive from back when he first started acting were unkind. Because he had never had any acting lessons of any kind before then, people gave him scornful laughs in return for his acting. He didn't want to back out now, though he had started at a later age than others surrounded by the scornful laughter. Instead, he stepped forward one by one. He wanted to prove to everyone that there was no one to stop a person who worked hard towards their dreams from progressing. He failed at many auditions, but never once did he regret taking this certain road. "Even now, I'm still working hard to fill in the spots that I'm not good at with passion."
With difficulty, he got into a major in theatre, but the act of stepping one's first foot into society couldn't be done with just passion. "During those days, people probably only saw the negative sides of me." His naive mind to want to move another person's emotions onstage had turned into 'a mission'. "These days, I involuntarily get mad when someone says that I can't act, because my self-respect has become stronger." He says that nowadays, he goes between heaven and hell based on the general public's judgement on his acting skills.


#2. The future rests on how hard I work

"During <The King's Man>, I wish that some other actor had done it'. I would've been really depressed if the major reaction had been this." The starting point where he began to leave a deep impression on the audiences was <The King's Man>. Lee Junki found a more mature side of him after the release of <The King's Man>. His popularity, which doesn't seem to go down even after time passes, changed his views on acting. "I'm still lacking a lot of things to be able to win the 'Best Male Actor' award. I want to go after the award when I'm in my thirties. I feel that just receiving the 'Best Newcomer' award during my twenties is a valuable start."
Good acting doesn't come naturally, and so one has to work harder than anything for it. His wanting to be a true actor instead of a shining star shows during filming. He showed us his sensible way of thinking, telling us that the immense popularity he had right now wouldn't last forever. He deals with the biased views people have of him in an intelligent way. It's been a long time since he threw away the fear of losing his popularity, which is bound to come down at some time.
In reply to the question of 'where do you think you will be in twenty years', he replied carefully, "It depends on how much hard work I put in". "I believe that I'll be either one or the other: a fallen actor, or an actor who is still doing well until then. Instead of being swept up in popularity, I want to devote myself to my work diligently. If there is one thing I want to hear when I'm that age is that I still have potential to be an actor."
An actor has to be able to do anything for his/her character. He believes that although it is not the chosen work, an actor is a 'conductor' due to the fact that they have the chance to freely move around a person's emotions. "I think that the key point is to be able to express the scenario that one has read enjoyably. I'm not someone who can perfectly pull off a role, but I want to continue my career steadily in search of a solution."
During the interview, Lee Junki kept repeating this: "I want to get out of the image of 'GongGil'." This is the reason he chose to do <Fly Daddy>. Lee Junki, who has been receiving much love from female fans with his 'cute guy' image, is learning how to live life from his acting in a renewed way. "I think he's similiar to me in the fact that he doesn't easily agree with the world. For his past that wasn't expressed in the scenario, the director and I discussed it and made it."
He knows that people will give a cold evalution of his acting. Although he buys misunderstandings because of his confidence and nonawareness of other people's bad gazes towards himself, he feels that anti's are parts of being an actor with a large amount of popularity. His actions have become careful because of the attention everyone has on his daily, personal life as well. "I feel that it's one of the things I have to accept, being a public figure."


#3. Patient of fear of heights rock-climbs

Thanks to regular exercise, there was no difficulty in acting out action scenes. However, for the filming of the rock-climbing, there were some real hardships. His body had a rejecting reaction because of the use of muscles that he didn't normally use. Watching people rock-climb on TV, he thought that, 'All I have to do is hold on to the rocks and go up', but as it turned out, it wasn't that simple. "It was hard supporting myself with the power of my finger joints. I had to work hard to make myself look like a real rock-climbing professional."
In real life, he has a fear of heights that everytime he goes somewhere high up, he starts to tremble, but in the movie, he really wanted to act the part of 'SeungSuk'. Upon first receiving the scenario, he thought that the character 'SeungSuk' had as much pain as himself. "I felt that a made-up character lacking facial wounds would lessen the spirit. I had a lot of discussions with the director about the size of the wound. If it was too big, then it might come off as unlikeable. We must've discussed these things for almost a month (laugh)."
While filming <Fly Daddy>, he felt an unspeakable fear, but didn't let it on to anyone. This was because he didn't want to make everyone around him do more hard work just for him. Lee Junki has an opinion that as an actor, he should get through his fears, and right now, he's happier than anyone could be. "I don't want to be a star who shines and then disappears. I want to be a true actor who marks his place among the crowd."


#4. I don't want to imitate someone else's acting

Lee Junki, who gained instant fame with the movie <The King's Man>, still has the mind he had as a newcomer. He says that although his surroundings have changed drastically, the 'human Lee Junki' hasn't changed at all. He hasn't forgotten about his ambition to go forward as an actor, no matter what his popularity is. This actor, who still has an endless list of things to show us, couldn't seem to contain his passion. "To succeed more, I need to pick good productions to further increase myself as an actor than do a film with a female actress. To an actor, it's a great experience to be able to do well in a film."
Coming back as a strong guy and smelling of sweat in <Fly Daddy>, he didn't read the original novel nor watch the Japanese movie based on <Fly Daddy>. He had a chance to, but he didn't. This was because he felt that it would interfere with his own making of the character of 'SeungSuk'. In the case of <The King's Man>, he did watch the play <Yi> beforehand, but it didn't help much, and only interfered with his own making of 'GongGil'. "I didn't want to copy whoever did the character first".
There are some actors who only want to emboss their own characters without thinking of the flow of the story. In opposition, there are also actors who make the story live and at the same time emboss their own characters as well. Without an explanation needed, actor Lee Junki wants to be the latter and always asks himself, 'What would I do if I were 'SeungSuk' in a situation like this?', never letting the character get out of his body.

#5. With unwavering trust in acting..

In contrast with his feminine looks, he has self-control that is almost to the point of stubbornness. He is even clear and accurate with his choosing of films. He chooses films that he can convey the emotions he himself felt while filming to the audience. To an actor, the audience's interest in one's acting is essential. Although he is in the place of a star at the moment, he wants to keep on jumping over obstacles in his career.
There are a lot of actors who can act in front of a camera, but there aren't many actors who are willing to give their trust to the audience. Lee Junki, who still is embarassed when referred to himself as a main actor, prefers to call himself a cooperation actor instead. "In the case of <The King's Man>, each and every day was filled with tension, but I think that I filmed <Fly Daddy> more enjoyably. I was even more happy because of Lee MoonShik senior, who never got annoyed or irritated in times of hard work and led me through with a relaxing mind."
Because of the uncertainty of his acting taking a step back, he doesn't even have any blank time. That's why he says that he wishes that when he does have some free time, he wants to go to an empty beach and think about himself and his actions over past events.
Lee Junki, who is standing where he is now thanks to his unwavering trust in acting, says that the one thing he wants to hear after <Fly Daddy> is that he is an actor who has completed a successful film. He says that when he met with the director after finishing up the filming of <Fly Daddy>, that his trust didn't waver a bit in the film. He says that this was because of how enjoyable it was to film it, and his belief that he has finished a film that lets out emotions about the importance of family. He didn't even seem to have any burdens about all the attention it has been getting. We are looking forward to Lee Junki, who has jumped over his reputation as a 'pretty guy' into an 'actor with acting skills'.
