5 Korean male stars disguised to be women, making the audience can’t recognize they are real man.

 

The Korean newspaper OSEN recently released an article about famous actors and singers who received a lot of attention with their outstanding looks when disguised as women. The jaw line is slim, the lips are full, and the skin is smooth and bright. Even women rarely possess such outstanding features. However, there are some male artists who have disguised themselves as girls and are surprisingly beautiful, making many girls jealous.

 

 

1. Lee Joon Gi (King and the Clown)

 

 

“Historical Drama Prince” Lee Joon Gi is a famous legend in the entertainment industry on the topic of “man disguised to be woman”. The actor’s image is great when he portrays the clown character in King and the Clown (2005). Long hair, smooth white skin and a more beautiful appearance than women cause the “pretty man syndrome”.

*** Recently, Lee Joon Gi updated his Instagram with new photos with a caption -"Back to high school. Student Kim Hee-woo." - (this is his character's name in his upcoming drama, "Again My Life").  Along with the writing, he added a grinning face with sweat emoji next to it. The photos showed Lee Joon Gi posing for the camera with a school uniform on. He doesn't look as 40 years old (Korean age). He looked almost like he was still in high school. He had put the school uniform on for his role in the drama. LJK's face is youthful. What's his secret to his youthful looks, huh? 

 

 

 

 

 

[hiluna]

I hope they don't use too much makeup to make him look young. The lipstick is too bright in those photos. I am looking forward to watching his new drama and I couldn't help myself from reading the beginning of the webtoon to know how it starts.

[Tuiwgn]

I noticed the red lips too but somehow I can be very forgiving with JG

Korea’s Hit Political Dramas

True Life Political Tales and Fictionalized Election Stories Draw Big Crowds

 

Elections are serious business in any country, but in Korea, politics have also proven to be good business for the film sector. Stories about political events, many of them true-life accounts of major events in modern Korean history, have consistently to be significant draws at the box office over the years.

 

These stories cover the breadth of South Korea’s relatively short history and feature characters strutting through the halls of power but also the citizens whose lives are most affected by their era’s political currents. 

 

Below is a list of the all-time most popular political dramas at the Korean box office, followed by a brief primer on other Korean election dramas ahead of the political contest 2022.

 

 

 

  

May 18 - 7.31 million viewers

 

Before A Taxi Driver, the Gwangju Uprising of May 1980 was the subject of another box office hit, the tearjerker May 18.

 

From director Kim Jihoon, the film features a range of characters whose lives are impacted by the protests in Gwangju and follows their crisscrossing stories during the tragic events that took place there. Released in the summer of 2007 and featuring actors such as Ahn Sungki, Kim Sangkyung and Lee Joongi, the drama became the second most successful Korean film of the year and was nominated for eight prizes at the Blue Dragon Film Awards.

*** SBS has released the first teaser of Lee Jun Ki's new drama "Again My Life". It begins with Lee Joon Gi looking determinedly at the horizon while he says in voice-over, “I had nothing to protect and nothing to lose. Until I lost my life.”  He puts himself through hardcore training as he says, “You only get one chance at a reset in life.”  “Again My Life” premieres sometime this year. I hope we could get the exact date soon, though. Can't wait.. I'm excited to see LJK's comeback on the screen. Based from the teaser, it looks like a good drama and a masterpiece from LJK again. He's an actor who chooses challenging characters.

Dear Oppa: A Rwandan fan was left gobsmacked at Lee Joon Gi’s acting skills in ‘Flower of Evil’

 

 

Lee Joon Gi is an actor, singer, dancer, and model. He rose to fame in his first leading role playing a clown in the critically acclaimed film ‘The King and the Clown’ (2005) and gained further recognition in the romantic comedy ‘My Girl’ (2005−06). Since then, he has diversified into other genres such as historical dramas (sageuk) and action thrillers. He is also known for his work in the ‘Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’ as Wang So. The popularity of his work overseas, especially in Asia, have established him as a top Hallyu star.

 

Today's heartwarming letter in our Dear Oppa series has been penned by Nel from Rwanda to Lee Joon Gi. Read her letter below.

 

 

 

 

Dear Oppa,

 

I don't know where to start, I'm filled with many emotions right now! I've always watched and enjoyed your dramas, but I got so hooked when I started watching "Flower of evil" I don't get how someone gets to be born incredibly talented like you are! Whenever I think about all the roles you've played, how versatile you are, I always come to the conclusion that you are the best actor in Korea! Now that I got to write a letter to you, I feel like crying, it's like a dream come true. I truly hope that one day you will get to see this letter and see how much of an impact you've made and how much you're loved!

 

You're so kind and cheerful and you deserve the best things in this world Oppa. I'm eagerly waiting for your next project, Oppa fighting! Sending you lots of love and hugs!

 

Love

Nel

From Rwanda

I am looking forward to this drama because it has LJG in it but I hope his next drama will not be a revenge theme again. I think most of his dramas have a revenge theme but I must admit that most kdramas do. I hope after Again My Life he will have the next drama lined up before another 2 years, maybe a sageuk . 

[Tuiwgn]

@hiluna, me too,  sageuk please

[willenette]

*** It takes years for some stars to be recognized by the public even when they work hard, while for some lucky ones, it only takes one project or song. One of them is LJK. He gained incredible fame right after he entered the industry. His debut movie 'King and the Clown' was one of the mega-hit movies. He left a great impression on the public with his role on that movie.
