These 2 are really the best K-Ent couple ninjas. Even Dispatch can't get a pic of them lol still not over how he was there for her today.. doesn't he usually have rehearsal the day before his FM at the venue? Sacrificing so much preparation already for his Queen, just like what a completely enamoured real life WS would do 

It's crazy but I feel like he is the reincarnation of Wang So. Hahahahaha.

He's willing to do anything for her aka couldn't "reject" her (his words lol) when she invited him for her concert.

He adjusts and changes his fanmeeting dates for her despite the short notice.

He openly admits he's dreamt of her. (like damn boi)

He wishes her all the best for her concert (in Chinese lol and in Korean).

He believes she is the BEST.

He praises her every chance he gets.

He always says she's beautiful.

He's a gentleman but an "extra"-gentleman when it comes to her, never forgets to hold her hand *coughs* offer his arm for her to hold.

He obviously isn't afraid of the haters.

He doesn't care what others will say.

What else? The list goes on tbh.

He goes all out. Just like any other man inlove.

Just like Wang So.

Btw, Hello shippers! 

that was my first post here, but with all the excitement of the recent JoonU events I forgot my manners and didnt even introduced myself XD lol

Here I am, long time silent reader and even longer Jun Ki fan <3 I've been on board of this ship since August 29, 2016 <3 XD

May the babies come soon!! <3

Haha welcome welcome on board!! And to all other new stargazers!  

And btw, I just wanna point out the bold part. OHMYGAWD. I am patiently waiting for it too ever since I saw the Letter for Angels pic of JG with a baby, I just can't help but imagine their future. HAHAHAHAHA are you dreaming of this too, Joongi-ssi? *winks*

BBJX CURSE, PLEASE COME TRUE.

[sublimelyheureuse]

After today's developments, I'm of the opinion that anyone who doesn't think Lee Joon-gi and Lee Ji-eun are about to become an item is delusional.  Fan service and friendship only go so far.

When I woke up this morning, the first images I saw on this thread were of Lee Joon-gi arriving at the airport, for his flight to Taipei. My impressions were that he looked subdued, and absorbed in thoughts that took enough of his attention that he only cursorily acknowledged his fans. The usual smile was replaced by a more serious - and somewhat somber - expression. Then came the video of his arrival in Taiwan, and the shoulder roll, before he walked out to greet the screaming crowd. At that moment, he reminded me of a boxer, psyching himself up as he's about to enter a ring. When he posted that particular video (courtesy of BlackHole) to his Instagram account with the caption "Long time no see my Taiwan Love," I had to wonder if he were speaking to IU.  Whether he were or were not including her in the "Taiwan Love," his early-morning distant demeanor, the shoulder roll and boxer psych-up, his words in support of IU during the press conference, his appearance at her concert, and his Instagram picture of himself with her concert stub and just one emoticon all added up - for me - to a man who decided, very consciously, to leave every bit of his emotion and strength on the public stage in Taiwan. He knows exactly what he's doing...and so does IU know what she's doing. 

The brilliance in their strategy is that they are leaving a trail of crumbs that fans can choose to decode or not. But, either way, no one can say news of their relationship fell, unheralded, from the sky. At the same time, they are being utterly professional and not - to my mind - cheesy or over-the-top. Why not? Because the mutual respect and admiration between them is so strong and the energy they emit is of the purest kind of joy.

Anyone can hook up. People do it all the time. Celebrities in just about every country fall into and out of physical relationships, constantly. But when Lee Joon-gi asked for the words to congratulate and cheer on IU in a language his fans speak well, but he does not, and then asked to be able to repeat the words in his native tongue, in case they had not been stated strongly enough, I teared up. The mechanics of sex are easy. But whole-hearted respect does not come by every day. IU has worked so incredibly hard to be where she is, and from such a young age. To have Lee Joon-gi recognize her sacrifices and talent and back her publicly is better to me than wine, roses, chocolate, or all the romance in the world. Lee Joon-gi basically endorsed IU, using his brand to back hers.

Edit: Another bit of the brilliance in their strategy is choosing to be this demonstrative in Taiwan, rather than in Korea. This way, they can judge the ripple effects among k-netizens, without having to deal with any potential furor face-to-face.

@ladybirdz IU hugging anyone, let alone a male, is rare as hen's teeth. JG is in the VERY special category.

I've been an IU's fan for about 7 years and I swear I've never seen her behave this way towards a male celebrity before even to those she is close to. Going as far as initiating a hug in front of her fans wow that's a first... 

 

Quoting these because we're not just collecting crumbs. We're collecting receipts too!

A question to all long-time Uaenas that just popped into my mind, is it normal for JE to change clothes / leave the stage (to them/completely) during their guest's songs? I was just wondering... 

 

Yes. It's common as she has scheduled costume changes throughout her show. She'll change either during a video or a guest spot when they do their own songs.

I love this so much. Purest of intentions; the one he has for her. 

Also, the IG post that was automatically shared in his Twitter was originally captioned as "Long time no see my Taiwan Loves" but it became singular in IG. I'm not even gonna question why.

[sublimelyheureuse]

Me to random non-shipping, IU, LJG, or MLSHR fan: So, you don't think Lee Joon-gi and Lee Ji-eun are about to become an item?

Random non-shipping, IU, LJG, or MLSHR fan: No.

Me: That's fine. That's fine....Do you have a psychiatrist?

@sublimelyheureuse ... @chi13lou wanted to make sure I didn't miss your post as you bring up so much we've discussed in PM. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you stated. I know many on the thread have expressed concern because they don't want either of our OTP to be hurt or negatively impacted by haters. I have that concern as well. But you bring up a point that we haven't touched on enough. Neither IU/Lee Ji Eun nor Lee Joon Gi have done anything to be ashamed of. It's made me so very happy to see our IU drop her guard and enjoy herself without reservation or hesitation.  She trusts Joongi and admires him, and I am so very, very grateful. It's also gratifying to know that he can truly be himself with her -- the cool, the dorky and everything in between. Isn't that something we all strive for in the relationships that mean the most to us, be they friendships, or partnerships?  

Because they're both extremely popular and always have numerous activities going on, there truly will never be a great time for news of a breakup...or a new relationship to surface. Timing can be manipulated for a best possible outcome...this is true. But the bottom line at the end of the day is this. They have done nothing wrong. They only continue to bring out the best in each other.

Thanks so much Chingu for the reminder.

Joon Gi's Taiwan FM Press Con, IU segment

Translations:

Host: IU has a concert in Taiwan today.
Joon Gi: Yes.
Host: Do you want to greet her here? Just look at the camera. She can see you!
Joon Gi: *Awkward hand pose*
Host: She can see you!
Joon Gi: Are there any Chinese phrases I can use to congratulate her and give my best wishes?
Host: *Gives some old traditional phrases* I feel so ancient with these phrases. Hahaha.
Joon Gi: Can you tell it to me slowly?
Host: With the way you're looking at me, I'm shy.
Joon Gi: Let's just consider this a Chinese teaching session. I'm your student.
Host: Why is my face all red?
Joon Gi: *Stares intensely*
Host: ... What am I supposed to say again?
[To translator: I suddenly forgot.]
Translator: Congratulation phrases to IU
Host: Oh, oh. To IU, right? Right?
Joon Gi: Dui, dui, dui (Yes, yes, yes)
[Joon Gi follows Host's words, wishing IU a successful, smooth performance today. HIS MANDARIN IS SO CUTE AND THE WAY HE GOES, "EUWEH?!" LOLOL. I'M DYING!!]
Joon Gi: *Cute, awkward hand wave of pride*
Host: Wooow! Lee Joon Giii!
Joon Gi: Wait, wait. Can I speak freely for a minute?

Joon Gi: Everyone, listen closely! I heard that IU has a lot of fans in Taiwan. I think IU is the best entertainer, so I feel that her concert tonight is going to be the best. Please be happy with IU and create beautiful memories. Congratulations, IU! I'll see you soon!
Host: Thank you for offering IU your sincere congratulations, but we will also have to congratulate you on your FM tomorrow and wish you lots of luck!
 

This post is past "crumb" and more like "pure gold." It melts me. 

[Silvermaine]

Why does he want to know lovey-dovey phrases?! THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

LOL i think i'm not sleep well last night, my brain wouldn't rest and keep think for these two even my eyes close, so i don't know if it was dream or sleep in conscious mind.

I couldn't believe that Joon Gi and Ji Eun did something similar to my first otp, They're became special guest in each other fan meeting/concert to stand together in front of their own fans. I agree to other chingu that they're asked to have blessing from fans, i'm so happy Joon Gi chose this way to show that he want to be accepted by her fans. Ji Eun really happy for this, that Joon Gi could do this for her and it's remind me Hae Soo line "...i wouldn't fear of anything. I could freely...truly i could freely love you as i wanted" Ji Eun yaa, now you can smile and laugh freely with someone you love...

[meahri_1]

Adding the following also:

He wants to know how to say 'you're my person' or 'you are mine'.

 

[sublimelyheureuse]

@kriswu, @chi13lou, and @meahri_1, thanks for the love! 

Figuring that Lee Joon-gi and Lee Ji-eun are between a rock and a hard place, what with needing their fans' encouragement and support as much as they need to nurture their personal choices and inner lives, I think they are comporting themselves remarkably well. They have refrained from giving mixed signals and instead opted to be clear and true to their hearts. They have neither promised nor denied anything. They have nothing to be ashamed of and everything to celebrate. IU is actually the best person that Lee Joon-gi could probably openly date, since the invective of hateful "fans" is nothing new to either of them. She even has her own legal team, at the ready. ;-)

How they are creating space for themselves to explore the bounds of their relationship in such a public milieu is inspiring to behold. 

In many ways, Lee Joon-gi reminds me of a savvy boxer, who knows his opponent well and has no intention of backing down, in pursuit of his prize. If this analogy can be stretched any further, then Lee Ji-eun reminds me of a manager, who eggs the boxer on and has his back, too.

really? so JG is that special hahaha, JG's so careful now unlike in awards show where IU was the one careful....

i was laughing at the armlock reaction of IU...

 

Believe me my friend, he really is THAT special. The IU  I "know" would never initiate skinship of any type with a male celebrity (close or not) especially when the guy is popular and has an army of fangirls. Maybe one of the reasons is because she is shy and not used to it so she ends up being all awkward  I still remember when poor Jonghyun (her close friend btw)  hugged her once it was the most awkward hug I've seen in my entire life. But here I see no awkwardness no shyness and she is the one who hugged him first...guess she got used to it by now with all  the hugs she received from him lol 

[gifanchy]

0:40, she thanked him and said "you're the best" to which he replied, in a very endearing tone while staring at her, "geurae?/really?"  MY POOR HEART ㅠㅠ I'M SO WEAK FOR THESE TWO HELPPPP ;;;;;;u;;;;;;;;

 

@sublimelyheureuse you're welcome. *finger heart* and i agree with you chingu. that is one good analogy. sums up whatever relationship they have

LOOK!!! Now who is the one that felt not have enough skinship:

Spread her arms. LOL!! JE yaaahh!! Who are youu?? No chill... No chill at all this girl. Want her oppa's attention so much *giggling* *throw myself on the bed with pillow on my head*

and the uaenas were SHOCKED !

@shabbychic Hello my chingu! It was actually funny to see the collective gasp in Twitter from our fellow Uaena when the hug happened (LOL...it came from me as well). Yes...this spontaneous request from our IU is truly that significant. In an extremely public setting no less. It speaks volumes regarding the trust and comfort she feels with him.
