Lee Junki will receive Rising Star award at HIFF

0904 lee junki2

Times of Dogs and Wolves hero, Lee Junki will receive his second internationally acclaimed award this October at the Hawaii International Film Festival. He will receive the “Rising Star” award, which is a very appropriate award based on his track record. Two of his movies, The King and the Clown and Magnificent Holiday were record breaking blockbusters and Virgin Snow was also very well received in Japan. And who can forget my favorite drama Times of Dogs and Wolves? Although the ratings are not sky high, it’s evident that he can take on more complex roles. Congrats Junki!

    Congratulations to Lee Jun Ki. He is doing an amazing, amazing job in Times of Dog and Wolf. His acting is superb and the drama itself is A+. It’s thrilling stuff and very addictive. Hopefully he will win Best Actor at the year end drama awards too.

    Yes! I’m glad that you’re a fan of LJK! You’ve never bashed LJK so far!

    he so deserves that award (finally a decent award that makes sense ^^;;;)

    the ratings aren’t high?
    really?
    but it’s awesome..

    he looks a little chubby in that pic btw
    still hot nonetheless

  9. 9 blahblah September 4, 2007 at 11:21 pm

    hawt? he’s hot? not so much for me.

  10. 10 Anon September 5, 2007 at 12:09 am

    blahblah, you need to watch Times of Dog and Wolf to see what LJK’s hawtness is like. His fighting scenes are to die for and he does all the stunts himself. Go watch.

  11. 11 tok2006 September 5, 2007 at 12:10 am

    i´m watching that drama… i´m in the part he becomes a bodyguard of his mother´s assasin who is the father of his girlfriend … and i´m thinking what the hell this could be end… not so well, i guess…. i´m ready for the drama!!!!

  12. 12 mackten September 5, 2007 at 1:01 am

    I love the drama. He’s doing a great job and is looking rather hot!

  13. 13 han September 5, 2007 at 1:08 am

    blahblah
    yeah like anon said you should watch the drama
    his taekwondo kicks are hott =D and his acting is so GOOD

    i think junki’s one of korea’s hottest guys but i guess his looks don’t appeal to some people…i know some peeps who say he’s ugly..i told them to look in the mirror =/

  14. 14 geekgirl September 5, 2007 at 2:34 am

    Such a treat for us people in Hawaii! I understand he’ll be hosting “A Night with Lee Jun-Ki” at the Hawaii Theatre. I am SO THERE!

    He is SO FINE!

  15. 15 Seoul Queen September 5, 2007 at 2:42 am

    Yep dep agree..Times of Dog and Wolf is fantastic…every episode manages to amaze me

  16. 16 Maha September 5, 2007 at 2:43 am

    Maybe I should watch his show. :x I’m not a fan of him, but he is a good actor.

  17. 17 Jane September 5, 2007 at 3:40 am

    Hell yeah he deserves it. Maha, I command you to go watch his drama, lol. There are plenty of other reasons to watch it besides Junki himself. Though he’s my main reason. =X

  18. 18 swtaznlaydee September 5, 2007 at 6:35 am

    he really deserves it. he clearly shows that he’s more than a pretty face. he truly has talent. u can tell by how vastly different this character is from his previous characters.

  19. 19 jnyarcalas September 5, 2007 at 6:45 am

    Why Does he receive an award?

  20. 20 Dumpling September 5, 2007 at 7:02 am

    He’s just so precious. I’m happy for Jun Ki. He deserves it and a lot more. I adore that kid. I don’t feel “fangirl”, rather I almost feel like he’s my child even though he is a grown man and I’m not a whole lot older. LOL!

    Anyone seen his new SPRIS ads? Gorgeous, cute, funny, sassy, sexy–he covers it all.

    Just thinking about the day when Dogs and Wolves is available on disc with subtitles…sigh…it makes me want to do the happy dance. Until then, I’m happily enjoying ‘My Girl’.

  21. 21 Jane September 5, 2007 at 7:23 am

    aha his arms make me laugh~ he needs some muscle!

    congrats to junki ^^

  22. 22 Dumpling September 5, 2007 at 9:01 am

    Don’t be an idiot. Jun Ki has muscle. He’s very fit. Not everyone has to be “ripped”. There are all types of muscular frames.

    (rolls @@ eyes)

  23. 23 Yoo Min September 5, 2007 at 9:45 am

    Yup yup yup definitely congratulations :D
    Finally an actor with the acting skills :)

  24. 24 yeoreum September 5, 2007 at 10:12 am

  25. 25 EunYoung September 5, 2007 at 1:39 pm

    YAY! Congrats Mr.CUTIE.. :]

  26. 26 its_trish September 5, 2007 at 1:56 pm

    I agree. This is a well deserved award and his drama is HOT – both plot and actors!

  27. 27 Starz September 5, 2007 at 2:09 pm

    Omedetou! he is a definate talented guy and totally deserve the award :-)

  28. 28 junsufan September 5, 2007 at 3:57 pm

    totally deserves this..=)

  29. 29 spazzes September 5, 2007 at 4:21 pm

    ahhhhhh will he be in Hawaii?!?! OMG FINALLY SOMEONE COMES HERE!

  30. 30 Pualani September 6, 2007 at 2:00 am

    Aww..congratulations to him! He really deserves this award and recognition for his works. Wish I was there in Hawaii though..lucky people!hehehe

  31. 31 ljxxv September 6, 2007 at 5:13 am

    I LUV LJK!!! He looks kinda fat here but it still soo HOT! ^-^ I think he looks better with much longer hair ~~~~

  32. 32 didi September 6, 2007 at 8:38 am

    i agree ljxxv! he looks slightly chubby, actually his arms do. you certainly do get used to looking at muscular arms on men who are celebrities don’t you?

  33. 33 eggplant September 6, 2007 at 4:22 pm

    he looks perfectly fine to me. can’t stand celebs with rippling muscles anyways if they can’t act to save their lives. lee jun ki is one good actor and getting better with every role. his latest in Wolves is one helluva role and he is nailing it too. heard he’s pretty cool in real life too, humble and approachable and apparently posts messages often to his fans. good to know he’s got his head on right. eggplant here predicts LJK’s star should burn long and bright, lol…

  34. 34 Dovey September 7, 2007 at 9:07 am

    Not only can he take more complex roles…now people won’t keep saying he looks like a freaking woman.

  35. 35 Krista September 12, 2007 at 4:03 pm

    yeah…he’s such an awesome actor…and damn hot :)

  36. 36 sandy September 27, 2007 at 4:49 am

    OMG he is sooooooo…..sooooo….hot….
