Both his vlive and naver CMK clip's viewership are super low. 

Just to assure you.Dont worry too much.Stay calm and have faith in our favourite artist.He will be ok.Yes his rep has been shaken slightly and he has gained quite a few antis,  but JG is loved and acknowledged by the non-fan Korean general public, this is more important even more than just having a huge fanbase(which he still does).Thats not going to go away anytime soon, just because of a show(ear candy) that is watched by less than 1% on a cable channel.

CMK was number one naver trending last night.Four of the CMK video where in the top 100 last night.One of them had JG in it.Even when people were still gossiping about his private affairs, people still tuned in to watch the first broadcast and it had high ratings.I can agree that the low view on vlive has a little to do with the hit at his rep.But for low CMK naver views even with JG in it, this is more to the fact that this is not the genre many people like, there is no love line, its an ensemble cast rather than just two leads, and its a crime procedural with episodic storyline rather than your regular kdrama cop show with a single plot tying everything together.

Also if his rep was so damaged,you know who would have been first to drop him and sue him for breaching his contract? Lotte Model.But just yesterday, Lotte released a picture of him promoting an event:

I hope he did not lost the movie and CF deals he is eye on to due to it..

Also for this, One,remember, he does on average one project a year, so i wouldnt think he is already eyeing a new project.Two, although technically he is  considered a commercial actor, since he mostly does TV drama than movies.But he does not do alot of CF's already, whether damaged rep or not.On his off days, like when he is not filming.He does alot of magazine editorial shoots but rarely endorses company ads.If you are his longtime fan, you should know why(to put it mildly he had an unpleasant situation in the past that probably made him adverse to doing loads of CFs).

Also have you ever wondered why although he is a commercial actor, why we really dont know, how much he earns per episode, per year or even how much he is worth?My speculation here; but i would like to think he doesnt like such things such as ads or talk about his wealth and stuff or even his private life overshadow his work as an artist.He takes his work seriously and doesnt want just to be a top celebrity star, but viewed as a serious artist who is dedicated to his craft.Look what he said here.This is what he said when he was even at a higher peak of popularity than he is now:

I also dont believe he earns way less than some of these newer popular actors thats why we dont hear about his earnings, when he is just as popular and one of the most sought after leads to star in dramas.He makes the rounds on all three public channels(KBS,MBC,SBS).Also TVN had no reason to go through with putting him in CMK,if he was such a liability to their channel.Park Min Young also made a clarification which had loads of support from k netizens about her friendship with JG and Candy show.

Most importantly, what really caused a huge hit at his rep was his relationship revelation.But everyone who can at least be objective(and they are many even in Korea), knows that everything that happened, from the announcement to the breakup was due to external circumstances rather than anything he or she, did or did not do.

So in summary, I also worry about him sometimes, but in celebrity world, its not so black and white.So its useless exhausting yourself with worrying.Keep being positive.He will be fine.

please lets just love LJG, always be positive and supportive in all his projects,, love him much, even though im new here i will always have the eye for a real and  great actor and thats the one and only LEE JOON GI .. Fighting Criminal Minds

[glassnokamen]

IG update  ... what is the 06.09.2017 Coming Soon at the end??? Maybe the "Thank You" Dvd Release? 

 

[LadyOne]

@violina agree with you on the part that one should not worry too much about him as he will survive as a actor no matter what... but I am not too sure about him being love much by the Korean public... When I was in Korea recently. I had one rather unpleasant experienced or should I said we had a rather unpleasant experienced. We were look down upon after acknowledging that we are his fans and was questioned by them, the locals for why we choose such an insincere actor... faint... It was so uncomfortable we had to walk away... they have forgotten all the good works he has done in the past. Especially in his military days.. Only remember the recent bad news... 

As for the Lotte duty free ads it is targeted at us, the foreigners... JG still no doubt has one of the strongest overseas fan support.

After his military days he has been very choosy over his projects and does not accept any CF lightly because he only wants to represent the best for us his fans... after some of his unpleasant history with CF with some unpaid work involved I guess (remorse had it)

I really hope that he will move back to movies... and not be stubborn...  movies has higher budget and lesser PD issues... CMK is a sad story now in Korea many are compareing it with signal... and being an CM original fans I already know the story line of most of the episodes. I am only hanging in there for 3 reason (1 for JG)(2 the closure of the series killer aka Boston killer case)(3 the river case) 

I just feeling sorry for him that it is not a bed of rose for him in his home ground...  

meanwhile let's enjoy his IG for us "I am waiting" what are you hinting? ㄱㅅDVD.... 

Please give some  to this too http://www.vlive.tv/video/40520

Ahhh...you might be able to find yourself in the footage! Looks super crisp!  Hope there are clear ways for you to purchase the DVD. 

 

[haniiiii]

@glassnokamen Happy to help. By the way, Encore was my first (and oh my god absolutely no way the last ) LJG event as well ♥ I wish they released some DVD. I still remember how the staff was still going up and down the aisles and checking if somebody was making photos or videos. And if they found somebody, they really took them out... OMG, such a nuisance. I was not in the standing part, there it was better I heard. But in all the seated part they were just so strict and crazy  So I am patiently waiting for their official DVD

I was in the standing part and I assure you they often went to check there too. Along with me, they ask a girl to came out because she had taken a picture with her cell phone. I was there with two friends that were on the assigned seat (probably where you were). Security man ask to one of them to go out, then they deleted photos and movies she take, and they even try non to let her get back to the FM ... then they pitied her fortunately, and she managed to get back inside to see the rest of the show. It seem to me that in the other FM the security was not so strictly, as there are many more videos available than those made in Seoul.

Actually I was checking if I could find myself in the short video 

I was wearing a fuchsia T-shirt and I was near enough the stage, so maybe I'll see a glimpse of myself in the crowd

Right? So strict. If you compare it for example with Singapore FM... So many full show videos on youtube and many many manyyyy photos and videos from Singapore FM
