Brimming with affableness
It's been reported that Lee Seung Gi's fans are united and during the fan meeting, they were as "well-behaved" as their idol. No wonder Lee Seung Gi was ready to play and hold hands with them, hi-5 and hugged them!

Revealing "beastliness" once again
In the past, Lee Seung Gi who was dubbed by the Korean media for having not enough "manliness". After acting in 'Gu Family Book', it seems like everyone has acknowledged and is certain of his "manliness". Therefore, during the fan meeting, of course he's got to demonstrate "threatening gestures" (referring to the brandishing of his 'claws'), his trademark "beast" movements and expressions.
Words in the black box ~
"Instead of thinking of what I've lost, I rather put my focus on what I've gained (fame and so on), these are not what many people of my age could have experienced." – Thoughts and feelings from having debuted for 10 years
South Korea's "Smile Prince" Lee Seung Gi who was in Singapore last weekend for his second fan meeting, during the filming of the Korean drama 'Gu Family Book' which has already finished its run, it's been reported that he didn't have a single complaint, could it be that he's indeed such a good-tempered person?
Unmentionable complaints
Last Saturday (7th September), during our interview for the magazine, once Lee Seung Gi heard the reporter asking this "zero complaint" question, he smiled and expressed, "Although I've not talked about it verbally, there was a little grumbling in my heart.". Although 'Gu Family Book' wasn't a Korean drama with his first lead role, but it was his first traditional drama. It was also his first time on site acting with more juniors (Like Suzy from Miss A and so on), hence he felt the responsibility and pressure of a "senior".
"Because I'm a senior and little like a big brother kind of actor at the filming site this time, hence no matter what I say, there's a possibility of (it) affecting the filming atmosphere. I only hope that the filming site can be comfortable and fun, being a senior nevertheless is a little stressful.".
Revealing scenes which weren't contended for or declined (by Seung Gi)
Because he personally oozes a "nice son/nice son-in-law/good elder brother/good husband" perfect image, Lee Seung Gi whose figure looks quite good and because of this (image), he rarely had revealing scenes in Korean dramas.
However, in 'Gu Family Book', he had a scene where he was injured and he had a need-to-be-half-naked revealing scene which was seldom seen.
Regarding this particular scene in the plot, he self-confessed that if he were to maintain his figure for a long time, it would be too tiring. A shy Lee Seung Gi expressed, "I couldn't reject (it) because of the director's charisma, moreover this was already in the script, there was no room for negotiation/discussion.".
Specially for Lee Seung Gi
