LEE Joon-gi first gained attention for his eye-catching look. He has a mysterious ambience as if he has just popped off from a picture book. He has such a unique and enigmatic look that handsome is too simple a word to describe his wide-set eyes, icy lips without an air of arrogance, and elegantly asexual profile. His blend of femininity and masculinity is accentuated by <King and the Clown>, which recorded one million in box office ticket sales. As he achieved popularity for having beauty superior to women’s, he selected characters that maximized his merits. A case in point is <Fly, Daddy, Fly>, which is an adapted version of a Japanese novel written by Kaneshiro Kazuki. But as he wanted to become an actor, not a star, he turned to movies that gave him a credibility as an actor. His sincerity is reflected by his roles in <May 18>, which portrays Gwangju student uprising in the mid-1980s and a Korea-Japan joint project, <Virgin Snow>. He desires to grow beyond an idol star and mature as an actor over time .Less
