*** Comedian Shin Dong-yeob shared a funny story about the baby daughter of Lee Byung Hun and his wife, Lee Min-jung during RAIN guested on his YouTube show 'Zzanbro'. During the show, they talked about their close friends, Lee Byung Hun and Song Seung Hun, and how humorous they are in real life when they seem serious on TV. "I find Byung Hun and Seung Hun hilarious.", Shin Dong-yeob said, "Seung Hun revealed that side of him a little during his recent guest appearance here." Whenever Byung Hun is in private talks, he tries to make his friends laugh as if his life depended on it. And he always succeeds. However, he slips right back into his celebrity persona whenever there's a camera and other people around. Like, 'Hello, it's Lee Byung Hun here.'. RAIN said Lee Byung Hun is the funniest member of their friend group, including Shin Dong-yeob, Song Seung Hun and PSY. Byung Hun is an amazing actor with a great spectrum of facial expressions and vocal tone. But when in a private setting, the guy couldn't be more light-hearted.", RAIN added. Then, Shin Dong-yeob talked about his recent visit to Lee Byung Hun's house, where he and Song Seung Hun met his adorable baby girl. "Byung Hun, Seung Hun, and I were drinking outside that day, and Byung Hun suggested continuing the fun at his place. When we got there, the baby was asleep. Lee Min-jung woke the baby to get her dressed in a pretty outfit, which made her cry.", the comedian said. "Lee Min-jung held the baby in her arms to soothe her, but she continued to cry. I tried baby talk to help the baby feel better, but it had no effect. 'Oh, she's just upset because I disturbed her sleep and changed her clothes.', Lee Min-jung told me." "Seung Hun then came to see the baby. 'Aww!', he exclaimed as he waved his hands at her. Then, instantly, the baby stopped crying.", Shin Dong-yeob said, and RAIN added, "Wow, even a baby can recognize good looks!" "She stopped crying and started playing shyly!", the comedian playfully exclaimed, mimicking the baby's reaction to Song Seung Hun. "Lee Min-jung was taken aback, like, 'Oh, my. Why is she doing that??'.", Shin Dong-yeob concluded, and the entire table erupted in applause and laughter. :kicks:

Lee Byung hun with his younger sister Lee Eun Hee

Lee Byung hun visited his younger sister to support her new pet cafe Paul Friends with LMJ and his close friends. It had a grand opening last month. His sister wrote in caption:

“My beloved older brother dropped by..” She used a traditional Jeju dialect to address her older brother as ‘Ora-bang’, which is used mostly for older brothers in 40s and 50s and also in a playful manner. This is my first time seeing the two shot of these siblings after I started following LBH and his projects in 2018. He sure is goofing around in the picture hehe. It must be annoying in this hot weather but thankfully his long hair is still intact haha.

📸 Lee Eun Hee IG

At first, I thought wow this is my first time seeing LBH with something other than his regular prayer beads on his wrist, but it turns out the picture is a reversed one. The beauty mole on his left ear is clearly on the right side, so naturally the beads will be on the hidden side (confirmed on his friend Hyunseok Choi’s IG, where his back has a cameo! 😂) It’s needless to say I am a little obsessed with those prayer beads 😅

📸 Paul friends IG

Lee Min Jung with her sister-in-law looking happy and having fun together. I’ve seen mama Lee and her voice cameo in LBH’s friends IG during their barbecue times at home, but I really wish to see mother and son two-shot together some day, too. I think the last one I saw was probably when LBH had his hand foot printing ceremony in front of.the Chinese theater in LA. That was a long long time ago….. ~

Lee Byung Hun Instagram Update:

Throwback picture of representative model for Louis Castel clothing brand Mr. Lee Byung hun at the 7th Green cup day, which was held last month. 💚❤️~

June 11 and 12 were said to be the days for the wrap up party of Squid Game 2 and LBH was among the attendees, but it seems the whole event was held in private as there is literally nothing up on the internet….not even a fan cam of some sort. Hopefully they will release it later.

Anyway, I am super excited to share that I made it to the First 100 submissions that will be part of the Hangeul Wall project in New York Korean Cultural Center. 🥳 It is said that there will be 1000 final pieces that will be installed onto the wall in September. So, 900 more to go. I am not sure how they selected but LMJ was among the selected one while LBH is not. They also said that there will be both physical and digital wall, so I am not quite sure whether the selected 100 is for the physical wall yet. Let’s hope it is! I am really thrilled and happy nonetheless that there will be something from mine that will share the same place with MJBH. All the best, guys!! Fighting! I hope we all make it to the wall! ❤️💛💚💙🧡💜🤎🤍🖤~

Lee Byung hun participated in the narration of mobile game LineageM: Episode Zero.

Yet another narration project for the voice king Lee Byung Hun. The official youtube channel of the mobile game LineageM released the making video with LBH yesterday. His message,

“Hello, this is Lee Byung hun. I just finished recording for the Lineage M. I want to sincerely congratulate you on your 7th anniversary. I hope for a lot of interest from users as well. Thank you.”

Hearing another teaser for the game, it seems actor Ryu Seung Ryung also participated in the narration because the voice really sounded like him. If it is, then is this their next collaboration after Shinsege franchise? I wish they’d done a combine narration with both. Their voice dynamics is amazing!

*** According to the OSEN report on June 14th, the filming for Netflix’s hit series Squid Game has wrapped, with both Season 2 and Season 3 set for sequential release. The cast and crew recently concluded filming the new seasons, which spanned 11 months from July last year to June this year. They enjoyed a two-day wrap party in Gapyeong, featuring water sports and a barbecue. OSEN exclusively reported that Seasons 2 and 3 were being filmed simultaneously. Both seasons were shot back-to-back. Ohhh................. it’s like filming one long story and splitting it into Seasons 2 and 3. Season 2 of Squid Game will consist of six episodes, with Season 3 expected to have a similar count of six to seven episodes. The gap between the two seasons won’t be long. Speculation is rampant about what to expect in Season 2, that there will be more intense games than in Season 1. Whether this will come true remains to be seen. The new season is expected to premiere in the second half of this year. :kaching3:

Lee Byung Hun at the MLB match in San Diego supporting Infielder Kim Ha Seong from San Diego Padres

LBH and family visited the Petco Park in San Diego, CA, to support MLB team San Diego Padres, against their match with Brewers. San Diego Padres’ official twitter and Instagram account shared his moments with the winning team’s infielder and fellow Korean Kim Ha-Seong before the match. They exchanged gifts of WHOO wine and what looked like a signed baseball merch, a bubble-head figurine of the player.

It appeared that LBH was there as a representative member of Visit California Korea since he was also present as one of the VIP member at the MLB series Seoul event in March. Both LBH and the team’s IG shared a really heartwarming pics of Lee family at the game with LBH giving such a big Hyung energy. They wrote, “Front Man, Welcome to Petco Park.” And LBH wrote, “Ha-Seon KIM, who echoed at the stadium. You are cool! (with special emphasis on KIM)

LMJ sporting the Ha Seong Kim jersey and LBH with his initials and of course his signature no. 1☝️Anyway, one of our fellow LBH fan mentioned LBH is said to be there to promote Squid game 2 as well. I am not so sure because it seems too early?? Netflix will be too busy with it’s beloved Sweet Home S3 for the next 2 months and LBH will be starting The Ax from August. Also, Lee Jung Jae is busy promoting his new movie The Acolyte. But we never know since we still have full July. It is possible that LBH may have been planning to finish vacations, work and overseas promotion all within these few months. Still reminds me of that K-drama fanatic mechanic dad role he was gonna do every time he is in LA. Lol. He might as well finish that one, too. 😆

Pics from both LBH’s and San Diego Padres’ IG

Lee Byung Hun Instagram update

LBH at the Dodgers Stadium LA looking refreshing and bright in white. Also, 180cm tall, flaunting those sexy, toned legs, all thanks to LMJ because that’s so her style of taking pics. Not sure if it’s from yesterday even though there was a match for San Diego Padres with Red Sox, but whatever it is, the man is doing a wonderful job promoting himself, Visit California and Discover LA, looking super cool and youthful. His boyfriend style pics are always very eye-catching, not to mention he’s all donned in white. 😎~

Current line-up of actors for the upcoming Park Chan-wook movie THE AX

According to the news outlet from yesterday, Yoo Yeon Seok is in talks to star in director Park Chan Wook’s next project following “Decision to Leave.” If he confirms, it would be his reunion with the renowned director after 21 years since starring in “OLDBOY,” which marked his debut on the big screen in 2003. In response to the reports, CJ ENM and Yoo Yeon Seok’s agency KINGKONG by STARSHIP shared, “He received an offer and is reviewing it.”

According to the reports, the project is one that director Park Chan Wook has been preparing for many years. Currently, the production team is in the stages of sorting out copyright issues as the film is based on an original project. Earlier, it was revealed that Lee Byung Hun and Son Ye Jinare in talks for the film along with Lee Sung Min and Yeom Hye Ran.

Whoa!! It’s indeed an ace acting party in THE AX. It’s a crazy line-up!

I am just doubly excited because its a reunion of my Mr. Sunshine faves in MS anniversary month. Eugene Choi and Gu Dong Mae, my partner-in-crime duo, my Eumae.

I haven’t watched the movie yet but I watched the spoiler content detailed review video, and I cannot really figure where these new characters will fit in. I have a little hunch for Lee Sung min because his aura fits perfectly for this one character who’s also a former laid-off employee, and has a bit of a special connection with the protagonist. They really are too grand of an actors to just be on screen for few moments as characters and to be k-worded off just like that. Yoo Yeon-seok and Yeom Hye-ran could be few of those challenging candidates. YYS could be a policeman, too, but thats too boring. This is Concrete Utopia all over again and here I am counting chickens before they hatch, again. lol

The original movie didn’t give off the dark vibe that I have imagined, but since this is Director Park’s genre, I have a high expectations for it be insanely dark.

They kept talking about killing each other from all sorts of ways throughout the series, now this might be the chance they’ll actually get to practice one, lol. Yoo Yeon-seok’s last role in the drama was a serial killer and he was insanely good in that drama with Lee Sung Min. So, this is another exciting reunion to be happy about for me. :wub:
