wow this user uploaded the full concert!

Ahhhh yes, thanks so much for sharing the links!! So happy to get both IU's performance of Three Inches of Heaven and LJG's performance of For You. Plus of course their talk parts - I hope someone translates it all eventually.  I know 4seasonswithIU did, but just curious if she missed anything since she was translating live, lol.

I also want to know if what LJG said about both he and IU wanting to film a season 2 is true or not (I need sources to the actual interview!). Those comments seem to good to be true, haha. (*^*)

When LJG posted that video of him at IU's concert, it was around 10:30am Taiwan time. I love that this is what he chooses to do with his morning - cutting and uploading this video moment to Instagram, lol. I'm already hysterical about his guest appearance at IU's concert - I don't want to get my hopes up about her attending his FM (I want them to do a duet of For You........). Still...

ohnooo its not available in our country how to watch it .... directors cut is different to sbs and intl !?

Director's cut is the SBS version. I don't think I can watch the ending though. I have a couple of movies/tv dramas that I rewatch occasionally but the ending is too sad so I have to stop watching at a certain point and pretend they live happily ever after. One of those movies is Nicky Wu's The Lovers. Otherwise I start ugly-crying.

Do you know chingus, I was curious how JG's appearance is described in Korean media, so did a search in Naver, but guess what?- not a single article! and it's already 12pm in SK.. FISHY, do you agree? even reporters don't believe in "friendzone and fan service" anymore 

[scarletcryz]

Pardon my ignorance, but what was the incident? I watched the award ceremony and I didn't really see anything other than her sitting in it? Thanks!

[krysyuy]

After they hug, did anyone else notice how LJG's hand kind of drags along IU's hip for a second before it drops to his side......? (O___O) (Hit play to see the hug part again, lol.) Maybe I'm just going crazy... which is of course a possibility. ;P

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 

yeah from the awards night, i think its not just once they hugged right? or maybe all the hugs from the drama did the wonder hahaha...

im so so so happy with what they did at the concert..

yeah.. i was also lurking in soompi news after midnight and not a single news yet,, hahaha

[shiraru]

OMG LJG POSTED HER CONCERT SNIPPET ON HIS INSTAGRAM, OMG, OMG, OMGGGGG!!!!

And I noticed, it's a stark contrast from when he attended EXO concert. After EXO concert, if I'm not mistaken, he only posted his photo with Baekhyun and that's it. After IU's concert though, he posted a proof that he was in the concert, and a video of her!? WOOOOW!! NOW I'M WISHING HE'D POST A SELFIE WITH JUST TWO OF THEM, PLEAAAAASE LJG-NIM!! GIVE ME MORE OF YOU TWO, I'M LOVING THESE CRUMBS YOU PURPOSELY THROWS AT US!!

I ended up watching episode 20 on the off chance that the alternative ending was there. Nope, it's not. Seriously, the production companies can go eat a bag of jjamppong. It's already been filmed, everyone knows it exists, just release it! It doesn't even have to be edited properly. At this rate, I'd settle for a crappy photo of the script. 

Time to rewatch IU's Taiwan concert so I feel less angry. Make me happy, JoonU! Feed me your crumbs!

And a welcome to @ilovecoffeeandbooks! I recognize your usename from the main thread!

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...

mee toooo... I cant sleep well, I concious enough to check my phone directly after I woke up, even I check my phone every minute in my dream.. I will take a rest this afternoon to save my energy for this evening. who knows if we will have more crumbs or maybe a big cake tonight hihihi

 

[eunki]

in the end of talk when JE again thanked JG for being her guest despite busy schedule, he said "if Jieunie, IU wants, I'm always ready" Calling her Jieunie, not JiEun-ssi, is soooo sweet  and definitely not how you should call a girl with a BF on public event))))

another thing is that JE said "JG oppa told me he wants to spend more time with you (fans)" and JG went like "me? me??" exactly same as in BTS when he was caught by PD-nim: Chegayo? Chegayo?and insisted that he wanted to watch concert instead Then she insisted by asking fans "You want see LJG more, right?"- and he again replied that he is actually the one who  wanted to see performance. And in the very end JE finally told him to have a good time with fans and left ahhaaa Just like she was deliberately pushing him: "go and do it, you must win my fans' hearts today!" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

In terms of pet-names/suffixes, is there a hierarchy for the degree of intimacy? E.g. Jieunie v. Jieun-ssi. I hear "-ssi" all the time in K-dramas. In SHR, So called the character "Soo-ah". Japanese has suffixes to indicate degree of intimacy too, "-chan" and "kun". In Chinese (at least Cantonese), there really aren't suffixes. At most we add "Ah" in front of the name (阿). e.g. Ah-Siracusa

[violet90]

i think this is the few moment that i really loved the most last night...

1. THE HUG!!! seriously Jieun just look like a normal girl asking for a hug from JG.. its really cute and not a plan or fanservice cause you can notice JG like 'you want a hug???'... kekekeke

2. when JG praise how good she is singing... Jieun look so happy when she received that compliment and i think Jieun always look happy when JG praise her whether how pretty she is or hardworking and last night JG himself listen live and admitted how great she is.. PLUS he did said in his FM press con that Jieun is the best entertainer... i see what you did there......... JG just can't stop praising her..

3. every single time they talk or interact last night is my FAV moment... the way Jieun keep thanking him and how he respond to it.. the way JG react when Jieun said he's the best... that guy just so happy receive praise from Jieun.. also the way JG does't afraid to show off his affection in front of Jieun fan...

i think we can just ruled out friend and fan service completely cause they both beyond that already.. you can see how they care for each other and how much they love their character..... i just feel so happy seeing them cause they portray what a real relationship in this fake entertainment biz.. its rare and i'm going to support them with whatever going to happen in future...

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.

This entire post. LOOOOOOOOOOVE it thank you chingu! They're both brilliant strategists

so far that I know, if you call someone with "-ssi"  you respect your patner but not close enough. it's like use formal language to them. but, if you call someone use "-ah" or "-ie" like "Jieunie" you are close enough and agree to talk comfortably
