LBH Star Shop CONFIRMED!

http://usera.ImageCave.com/rubhie/leebh_kaori1.jpg

This is such a sweet pose..he looks like a little mischievous boy. And that timid smile of his so perfectly captured.

I can only imagine hats being HOT commodities after his shop opens. By the looks of it, the shop's aim is to make it a tourist destination also.

Totally agree.. the pose & hint of a teasing/knowing smile is just so sweet and perfectly Hunnie.

The hat collector he is.. we can be sure that BH will be wearing one at the launch.. wonder which one, his most fave? And if the hair is still the snow IRIS mode.. all the more reason he'll be wearing a cap / hat.

Can't wait to see how the shop really looks like, finally materializing. Fans will definitely would not miss going to check it out.. anyone to Seoul?

BH might also be displaying his personal choices in the hat shop...much like a specialty corner of sort.

It must be as big as CJW's shop which is just on the opposite side. Well, there'll be pictures alright...plenty! Can't wait to see BH home again!

Thanks Ching for the cool info.. still about 9 days to go before we see him again.. if IRIS' filming stays in the very top secret mode till the end of March.

Wonder what other accessories the LBH Star Shop will have other than all kinds of hats? Aviator sunglasses *yupyup!* .. plus those bead bracelets he loves to wear.. perhaps..

It should just be a shop specialising in all kinds hats, if it goes by what the main "Kaori" shop is doing........love love love that "cute" poster very much .......he will always surprise us with a kind of "look" when we least expect him to.....thatz why he will never be "typecast" or boring!

Didn't really know BH is into hats collection, the only time I ever saw him wore a hat was at Cannes last year, the white one... then more as he went for GBW promo & now at Akita

The poster is indeed cute... reminds me of little Oilver Twist, even Brad Pit :blush:

More from Akita...

At first I thought he sure has ample of time doing signatures for fans here and there despite the busy schedule that SJ mentioned; but then I realized that the snowboard belongs to his double, with BH's signature... Iris must have a dangerious mountain scene to involve a stunt snowboarder.

Wah, envy those fans for being so closed to BH-sis

I think those pictures were captured by Birke

Totally agree with you Cynthia.. there's always a surprise from BH every time we see him. It shows in his work especially.

Kaori is very lucky to have Byunghun-ssi as their partner. Yupyupyup! Indeed.. the simple poster is absolutely sweet & eye-catching at the same time.

Janie-hunnie.. if you refer to BH's profile at any of his fansites (even the official Rubeurs).. one of his hobbies is collecting hats.. and travelling to new places.

BH wears a hat so many times actually, quite some pics of this. Except for formal/official event like award shows, or an interview.. we can be sure that he will appear wearing a hat or a cap or beanie.. especially when he travels to Japan, most often wearing a cap when arriving.

ps: not only in Cannes.. at last year's PIFF, he wears a black Fedora. ^^

"This is the hat that I value most"

"This hat is the hat that I value most" Lee Byung Hun participated in the first anniversary public screening of movie 'A Bitter Sweet life' in Seoul CGV (Aggjon) on the 2nd. When the fans questioned him about the hat, he answered, "This hat is the hat that I value most. Because this is a very meaningful re-screening prepared by the fans' association, that's why I want to wear this hat." and he received great applause.

Moreover, because Lee Byung Hun's participation in this event was not told, his appearance surprised the fans very much.

At the end of the event Lee Byung Hun notified of his next work.

More from Akita...

At first I thought he sure has ample of time doing signatures for fans here and there despite the busy schedule that SJ mentioned; but then I realized that the snowboard belongs to his double, with BH's signature... Iris must have a dangerious mountain scene to involve a stunt snowboarder.

Also.. he's quite an expert snowboarder actually.. one of his specialties apart from swimming which he's very good in. There's a clip of BH doing the snowboarding, swimming and sky-diving plus bungee jumping .. if anyone hasn't seen it.

And that is awesome sharing regarding IRIS.. we'll have snowboarding scenes in Akita. Truly an action series.. all the way down the slopes. Can imagine how it's going to be a daring & cool action sequence. It's good that there's a double for BH.. better be safe as IRIS filming is only just the beginning.. still a long way to go. BH really doesn't have to do everything even if he can & wanted to.. like he did in BSL.

Thanks rubie-babe, for being the walking encyclopedia of BH's hobbies -- didn't know he is so playful and into all these extreme sports!

Would love to see the action-packed swimming-snowboarding-sky-diving-bungee jumping clip

~~~

Here's a clip of people lining up to wait/watch Iris outdoor filming and later BH shake everyone's hand..., ah... it's must be good to be shake by Bh's warm and softy hand in that chilling weather

Dear SJ,

Thanks for your permission

I have roughly translated your sweet memoir on Akita for the Chinese fans in Baidu & thanks to my friend for typing them in Chinese...

我刚从Akita 回来...

虽然Iris摄影时间很紧凑，(从早上6:30到晚上11:30)，但是Lee Byung Hun 他仍对影迷很友善。

到那里他都带著微笑,跟大家握手及挥手。

我已等待了5年...终於有机会...有生以来第一次与BH用英文对话及握手。。。他的手很温暖... & 也很嫩

他心情非常愉快... 对我微笑 hehe...可是他不只是对我笑而已啦!

他尽量用日语与我们沟通。

所有IRIS工作人员 (共有60位) 在那里的生活住宿费都由 Akita Iris 负责; BH 相当感激，对大家都非常友好。

我非常欣赏BH热情及专业的表现。

我很担心他密集的拍片行程在这个冬天的季节.

他对自己很严格..为要保持戏剧角色纤细的身材..只吃甘榄油沙拉!

An excerpt to share, translated by a fan from a featured Vietnamese magazine June 2004

Myself

I was very playful as a kid, liked to do danger stuff. I remember once, when I played with my little sister, I made her fell, and broke her arm. And once, I hurt one of my very close friend's arm, when we were swimming.

I like to travel, like to live quite danger. that's why I see things very simple. Everything will be solved sooner or later. My bad side is I have high temper, so I think I need to be a calm, nice actor.

My family

The one who really got very happy, me being an actor, is my dad (he had passed away). I always thought: I will, someday, bring home an Academy award to him. But I guess he will never see it, But I know he knows. I want him to be proud over me..

My mom is very strong. That I see things easy, I guess I have it from her. And my sister, Eun Hee who is 7 years younger than me, she always played around with me, so she is a little boyish. But she always listens to my advise. Even that we don't really show how much we love each other, but we know about it inside of us.

Love

I had my first love when I was in the first grade in college. A friend introduced us to each other. We weren't at the same school. She had a small body, her cheeks were very cute, she left me a very good impression. We were together for one and a half years, then we broke up. Even though we liked each other, we couldn't really understand each other. I still remember her. (laughed a little bit)

My future love.. hm.. she must be nice and cute like I expected.. If she is smart too, that would be totally great, so she can cover up my bad sides. But the most important thing is that we have to respect each other, even if it is the smallest thing. That would make us respect and love each other more each day..

My wishes

I liked movies very mush when i was little kid. I liked to go to the movie salon and stuff. I loved to be a director too. I and some friends had once started a club for "small" directors. Still, today i wanted to be a director.

I want..

When I was still a new actor, I wanted to be actor who has character, nice personality, more than a famous actor. For every drama and movie, I want people to say.." That role is made just for Lee Byung Hun.." When I have a question like " Imagine how you want to be for 10 or 20 more years ?" I will answer exactly the same...

If someone could gist this fan? sharing, it would be nicer.

Not sure if it's one of the spots used in the filming.

The person meeting BH-ssi mentioned that he's always smiling so brightly, giving a warm first impression. And also fans of Byunghun has been the most dedicated to note. Always ready at the location since early morning and still waiting even though the day has turned to night.

[rubie]

Hope memory serves me right..

I'm not sure if anyone has this.. a capture from 2006 Korean Film Award (after event pic) of LBH and Lee Beom Soo (the actor in 'On Air', also his co-star in Bungee Jumping). If I'm not mistakenly mistaken.. it was a reasonably large capture from innolife.. a feel-good photo (=smiling photo ^^).. BH was using his handphone and LBS was standing next to him.

Any idea, anyone? Ohh.. BH was wearing a white tie + tuxedo..

ps: I just saw captures of Song Yun Ah guesting in the Park Joong Hoon talkshow..

Why didn't BH's segment materialize like the others?

FIVE GUYS - Best Melodramatic Actors? Focus: LBH in Bungee Jumping of Their Own

You mean the Dae Han Min Guo awards where he was in a tux with white bow together with Su Ae (both of them looked splendid together)? Can't remember the shot with Lee Beom Soo though. Was he ever in Bungee Jumping???

Probably the PJH's segment is on hold until such time much later when they need some publicity for him and his moview/drama.

Yes! Yes.. exactly! That's the one.

It wasn't a capture in the audience or during the presentation which BH sat with Soo Ae. It's either a before or after BTS.. the guests were mingling.. some sort of break / refreshment time. I thought I remember seeing that capture of BH sms-ing someone ^^ and LBS was looking over to see.

LBS acted as one of BH's university buddies in the earlier part of Bungee Jumping. {rubie is currently watching 'On Air' and can't help noticing LBS' acting.. a reason to stick to the series ^^)

If I read it correctly.. somewhere.. BH and LBS are also really good buddies off-screen.

Probably the PJH's segment is on hold until such time much later when they need some publicity for him and his moview/drama.

Maybe.

But why do they have to raise our anticipation and BP level so early in the year.. if they're not going to air it any sooner. Do not let the cat out of the bag yet.

^ Yupyup! ylin's got it!

It's indeed an innolife capture. I always thought I had it saved already.. likely in my dreams.. obviously. Not really a smiling photo as I imagined but they're real chummy buddies snapshot.

Merci beaucoup! Well done! Thanks to Cynthia, too. :blush:

The other photo posted at the ELBH-forum site, just Byunghun & his phone ^^..

Wah, you really make the plot sounds so thrilling

I need to clairfy 'cos we are not sure if there'll be such scene as the fan just say that the board belongs to his double so it could mean anything... as in that is just the stunt's play toy only and has nothing to do with the drama After all Iris is so secretive with their filming except the romantic lake scene.. aish that pic really grows on me.

p.s. thanks for the extreme clip etc.

FIVE GUYS - Best Melodramatic Actors? Focus: LBH in Bungee Jumping of Their Own

http://www.nylonmedia.co.kr/inc/editor/upl.../1236301760.jpg

Just take it with a grain of salt as it's a bland translation from my part as I am still a novice when it comes to spicing up LBH description.

Nothing new..., I think it's just a fan comparison on each of the following actor's unique and sophisticated acting style... Park Shin Yang, Lee Sun Gyun, Hyun Bin, LBH & I think the last one is what BSL SL thread or me would say...

the sexiest man alive.. YJT

This one on BH's part only...

Ah... Love... can simply be expressed in more than 50,000 ways..., from mature to sophisticated etc

Love can also be generated through voices & eyes contact... such expression can easily be spotted in actor LBH and... it's definitely worth emulating

Those pairs of window-of-the-soul aka piercing eyes of his could so easily stir or throb a woman's heart and... that sexy low tone voice of his is just way too poisonous... and no doubt those are great asset to his acting skills.

From his first romancing acting in Bungee Jump... to his dorky inflatuation towards the lady teacher in Harmonium... to his romance in One Fine Summer etc, BH has never failed to capture the true essence of love.

BH is one great example of a very dynamic, confidence & classic actor who is able to transform into any character requires of him.

At times one couldn't really tell which is which, the real LBH or the reel LBH... and that in itself is a great mystery & a piece of art.

Actor LBH never remain stagnant in his performance but keeps pursuing for his best in this acting arena.

edit: I think the person also trying to emphasize the unique voices that each of those actors possesses
