Junki new drama - "Iljimae"

I knew this a week ago but I forgot to blog about it in here.
So I was checking out the new Korean dramas on DramaWiki and found that Jun Ki will participate in a drama called "Iljimae" which will broadcast in 2008.

This is the synopsis of the drama from DramaWiki:
Set during the Joseon Dynasty, Iljimae acts as a useless gangster in the marketplace by day but at night he is a chivalrous robber who robs corrupt government officials to give to the poor. After each robbery he leaves behind a wooden branch from a plum tree at the site of the robbery to take responsibility for the robbery.

The drama sounds like another interesting one, I'm really looking forward in this!

Junki in Hong Kong

On the 2nd October Junki finally arrived in Hong Kong, first time going to Hong Kong there were more than 100 fans waiting at the airport.

Once Junki step out of the gate fans all hurried to give flowers and presents to Junki.

Sherman Chung and Ken Hung represent EEG to welcome Junki on the day. Junki receive each present happily and kept on waving and doing the V sign to the fans. After Junki safely got on the car he's heading to the hotel and once he got off the car more guards appeared.

Sherman Chung praise that Junki is prettier than a girl and said "Junki looks prettier than me".

Then the reporters asked Ken Hung what if EEG prepare a movie where you have to kiss Junki passionately? He replied "I would feel lucky, I wouldn't be scared to kiss him, I just have to imagine him as a beautiful girl."

On the day the official contract signing was held, Junki expressed that there were a lot of company to choose from but he chose EEG in the end. During the event Joey Yung as a guest taught Junki some Cantonese, "Can you be my wife" this is what Joey taught Junki. When Junki said it to the fans all the fans started screaming. Junki then asked Joey to say it again and afterward he said it 3 times. Then Joey asked Junki to say it to her once, the fans all screamed "Don't~~" Junki then said "I have to go through a lot of stages to get marry". He then jokingly said next time when a Korean friend goes to Hong Kong he will teach that friend that sentence.

Atferward the reporters asked if Joey has fallen in love to Junki? Joey replied "He's only 25, younger than me by 2 years. Supporting him is enough."

When reporters asked will Junki participate in movie producted by EEG he answered "When I was young I really like Hong Kong movies, if there is a chance I would love to". He was then asked who he want to cooperate with, he replied "Jacky Cheng, Jet Li and Steven Chou". As for female actress he would love to work with Shu Qi and Maggie Cheung.

He then was asked if he cared that people said you look like a girl? He answered "Each actor will act by following the script, I'm the same. But in the recent drama the character I play is very manily and tough".

EEG manager Mani expressed that Junki will participate in singing, movie and drama, later EEG will produce a movie that Junki will also be participating in it. When asked who will be the female lead she answered "umm... Gillian will do, but it depends on her behaviour."

*I combined a few articles together instead of posting a lot about the same thing*

Junki Joined EEG

I was reading the Chinese newspaper this morning, I saw a photo which looked like Junki but wasn't sure if it's was him so I started reading the article.

It said that Junki will join Hong Kong recording company EEG (the same company as Twins and Joey Young), I was kind of shocked. Contract has already been signed and now Junki is going towards the China media. Because of work load he didn't get the time to learn Chinese but from now on Junki will work hard on improving his Chinese.

I guess I should be looking forward to Junki speaking Chinese since it's a language that I understand.
