I read the full naver article. But Google's translation was not very clear.
I am very grateful to you for your post @frozentundra
I am so happy to see that Jongsuk's hard and excellent work is duly recognized and valued.
I loved the depth of his character. And yes, his voice is wonderful. A balm to my ears.- 5

I totally agree with your thoughts @frozentundra
I feel so bad for them.
They were slaves of their families who selfishly put their desires and benefits above the happiness of their children.
And as for the performance of Jongsuk, it's just amazing! I applaud her performance energetically.- 4

Aww I am really enjoy all the videos of Manila FM. Thanks for all the updates.
I am happy to read several articles that speak so positively of the performance of Jongsuk and the strong impact he has left there.
I wanted to share one of those articles.
Loving Lee Jong Suk

Fan Meeting
2018 Lee Jong Suk Fan Meeting
Tour — Crank Up in Manila
Nov. 18
Araneta Coliseum,
Cubao, Quezon CityTHE Araneta Coliseum can be a daunting venue even for the biggest of stars. With a seating capacity of nearly 10,000, even foreign artists know how difficult it is to pack the Big Dome.
Among Korean actors, only superstar Lee Min Ho was brave enough to stage not just one, but two fan meetings at the Smart Araneta Coliseum — first in November 2012, and again in August 2014. Both sold-out events were free for fans who met the minimum purchase requirement of a local clothing brand.
Over the weekend, another K-celebrity tested — and ultimately proved — his crowd-drawing power. The difference in the fan gathering of 29-year-old actor Lee Jong Suk is that his audience was made up of paying customers who shelled out between P2,500 and P10,000 to get the chance to see him in the flesh.
Prior to Sunday’s show, his Filipino fans were worried that it would be cancelled. Two weeks before the Manila leg of the Crank Up Fan Meeting Tour, Mr. Lee had a similar show in Jakarta, Indonesia. Reports have it that the producer failed to correctly declare the show’s gross receipts, resulting in the remittance of lower taxes to the government. The model-turned-actor and his entourage were detained at the airport for two days until the issue was resolved.
“I am glad to be here for the last leg of my fan meeting tour,” he told spectators. However, he hinted that he will be enlisting in the military — a requirement for all citizens in South Korean — in 2019, noting that “we might have a break from each other next year.”
The I Can Hear Your Voice star’s visit was a long time coming but he made sure that the fan meeting would leave fans with memories enough to sustain them until his next Manila stop.
He sang three songs, played the piano, and gamely interacted with six lucky fans on stage. The Wheadliner also had an extended question-and-answer portion with comedienne Giselle Sanchez, who hosted the event. He talked about his family, shared some of the best (mostly kissing) scenes from his blockbuster dramas, and disclosed that due to his heavy workload, he expects to work even on New Year’s Eve.
Mr. Lee delighted the fans when he sang “Come To Me,” from the official sound track of While You Were Sleeping, a romantic comedy with Suzy Bae as his leading lady. He was obviously off-key and his voice cracked early in the song but the crowd did not mind. He is, after all, an actor and not a professional singer.
When he later took to the piano, he played the instrumental “My Soul.” He had to repeat the song from the beginning when he committed a mistake after a few bars. The Pinocchio actor likewise hesitated mid-way but was able to finish the song without stopping.
“It is not easy,” he said, heaving a sigh of relief, but he continued to wear to charming smile throughout.
Undeterred, he followed it up with “Do You Know,” where he again stumbled only a few seconds in, but quickly recovered and said “dashi” (again).
For his last piece, he sang “Only Then,” a Roy Kim original. He was again out of tune and his voice cracked but fans encouraged him by shouting “gwenchanayo” (It is okay.)
Known to be shy and unassuming despite his fame, Mr. Lee was very charming with his Filipino fans, many of who devote hours to watching and re-watching his TV series. He gamely accommodated requests for hugs and handshakes and was visibly amused by Ms. Sanchez, who was a self-confessed fan.
The audience was slightly disappointed that he did not dance, as he has in the other fan meetings. Many were expecting him to dance Psy’s “New Face” but since he has left YG Entertainment (the same agency as Psy) early this year, he may have deemed it inappropriate.
The main fan meeting segment lasted barely two hours but the fun extended to the high-touch and photo sessions that followed.
Lee Jong Suk has certainly come a long way from that gay musical prodigy he played in the Hyun Bin-Ha Ji Won-starrer, Secret Garden. Imperfections aside, his impressive acting has made him one of Korea’s most sought-after artists and commercial endorsers. Manila was lucky to have a chance to see him before his inevitable two-year hiatus. But having already established himself in the Korean entertainment industry, his followers will surely — and patiently — wait for his return.
As for his Manila stint, he has certainly set a fan meeting precedent that may be challenging for his Korean contemporaries to follow. Actors Park Bogum and Lee Joon Gi are reportedly due for their respective fan gatherings in the Philippines next year. Crank Up is a tough act to follow.

@frozentundraI agree with you. In my case, this would also generate an interesting degree of stress. It is a difficult and important decision. But I really admire this guy. I love that he shows consideration and respect for his fans. I like him to put the interests of his fans before his own.
I also wish the best for him and his fans and that they can get nice sweet memories.- 6

wow! it seems that on November 15 'Café 89 Mansion' will once again become an exhibition place. This time it looks like it will be glasses.
Thanks to the owner of Twitter for sharing the information.- 4

.This is very good to read!
This is the statement of Yumetomo (Agency Yes24) that asks for public apologies and assumes responsibility for what happened with Jongsuk and asks the agency of Yes24 of Indonesia to clarify the case.- 5

I am happy to know that he and his team are returning to Korea.
It has been an agonizing few hours. If it has been like that for me, I can not imagine what they had to go through. I want them to rest and find relief quickly.
On the other hand, according to this information there was no deportation (or at least that is how I understood it.) If this is correct, it is a great relief!- 5

A small actor who participated in 'Mr Sushini' also adds to the casting of 'Romance Supplement'.

Oh I'm sorry. If it's longer I got confused with the drama of Shin Hye Sun, Hymn of death. LOL!
sorry.
I had a small crossroads of dramas in my head.
And worse for me, I had not understood this answer of yours. Sorry, it happens that English is not my native language. and I misread your answer. I just realized my mistake. (I wanted to choose the emojis of embarrassed, but I do not know what it is, oh sometimes technology and I are not very good friends.)- 2

@FrozentundraTotally agree with you It hurts me to see how there are people who like to harm others by sowing doubts about the capacity of others or creating discord.
Before someone created a malicious article blaming Jongsuk for what was a dramatic project. And now, making him look like a rude and unstable person, when in fact it is the logical end of a commercial agreement, since he managed to establish his agency successfully. Something that should be a cause worthy of praise, applause and admiration ends up making it look bad and negative.- 4

Thank you very much for all the updates!
Jongsuk really helps keep this forum active.- 2

Hello everyone!
I found a cute article that I wanted to share
It's not a particular talk of jongjoo, but it talks about a coffee shop in a comic style inspired by W Two Worlds (so it mentions the name of the drama and our beloved actors).
I copied some of the information
(It happens that the original article is in Spanish, and according to the rules of soompi it has to be all in English, but I share the link).ORIGINALITY
In Seoul there is an original café with comic book designThis cafe in Seoul, South Korea, is conquering Instagram for its particularity of being set as a true comic.
Everything in this café seems to be painted with thick, minimalist strokes; the cups, the doors, the tables, the pictures on the walls, everything that gives it a really special touch that gives the sensation to those who visit it of being inside a comic.
The cafeteria is inspired by the Korean TV hit "W - Two Worlds" by Lee Jong-suk and Han Hyo-joo, in which the characters enter a fantasy world, according to the Viral Bored Panda site.

Hello everyone!
I regret not being able to be active in this forum (actually every time I can, I'm stalking her), but that does not mean that I have stopped liking this wonderful actor and magnificent person, quite the opposite . Actually, I think that in this case is when reality surpasses fiction. In what sense do I say it? In which the person of Jongsuk is far superior to the actor (he is my favorite actor in the world) That is why I want the best for him. Thanks to everyone who keeps this forum alive. Thanks for all the updates.

Yes,! @Riman Rakshit thank you very much for the enormous effort of compiling the Sukkie modeling videos. He is cute when he models seriously, but he is more handsome when he smiles, which is one of the advantages of seeing him as an actor.

Men's skin is also competitive.
Among the actors, those who were famous for their fine, white skin were selected as beauty models. # If you want to be handsome with Lee Jong-seok (Breath 37), # Park Seo-joon (Laneige Homme), and # Jae Haein (Dewey Tree), benchmark them(Google Translation)
