Can you introduce yourself? Where are you from?

Hello my name is Kat and I'm from the Philippines.

Who is your favorite Korean actor/actress? And how and when did you become a fan?

My favorite Korean actor is Lee JoonGi. I first watched Lee JoonGi in "My Girl and "Arang and The Magistrate" but I really became his fan after watching him in "Gunman in Joseon" and "The Scholar Who Walks In The Night". I like his vampire role, so scary 😊. And he is a very handsome vampire. And being a Japanese businessman, his Japanese accent is so cool.

The character of Lee JoonGi that I really fell in love with is his Japanese role for "Gunman in Joseon". I like his Japanese outfit. His looks and Japanese accent, and the way he speaks Japanese is very cool like a real Japanese 😊. And also his vampire role in "Scholar Who Walks The Night". His vampire role is very scary. Especially when he was weak and he needs do drink a blood. I really fell in love with him the way he speaks. 😊

What is a random fact that you think people don't know about him?

I think that people don't know about him is that he is very close friends with Moon ChaeWon, since they worked together in "Criminal Minds". I think they become really close that then.

If I spend the day with Lee JoonGi, what will we do together are:
1. I will bring him in Quiapo Church, one of the famous church in the Philippines. We will have a mass first. And pray.
2. I will introduce him in our national hero Jose Rizal in Luneta.
3. We will go in Intramuros, Manila, one of the famous historical places in the Philippines.
4. We will have a vacation in Tagaytay and Baguio. We will take selfies. I will bring him in all the famous tourist places there. While holding hands, while walking and hugging each other in a cold weather there😊.
5. And we will ride in a jeepney, the famous transportation here in the Philippines.

What do you think is the most underrated work by your favourite actor?

I think the most underrated work of Lee JoonGi is when he played Wang So in "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo", although I really did't like his character. He was very aggressive and had a bad attitude. That's my own opinion only😊.

NAMOO ACTORS

If you could be in any scene with your favourite actor, which scene would it be and why?

I think if given a chance to have a scene with Lee JoonGi, I think in his drama "Scholar Who Walks The Night", I want to play as Yang Sun, when there is a scene in a bathtub and Lee JoonGi healed Lee YuBi's wounds with his blood. Or the scene in episode 1 in "Flower of Evil" with a kissing scene with his wife. Wow i fell in love😍.

What is your favourite way of communicating with your favourite actor?

My favorite way of communicating with Lee JoonGi is through his Instagram. Every post Lee JoonGi makes, even his instagram story, I give it a like and I write a comment with a sweet and loving message for him to be motivated and to make him happy😊. That's why I always updated.

Can you recall a moment where you cried/laughed with your favourite actor?

I think I recall the moment I cried with Lee JoonGi - it is during the scene in "Flower of Evil" where he cried so much while he hugging his daughter EunHa. I really felt touched with that scene, that's why I cried a lot. And for laughter, it was when he danced in a fan meeting. I laugh whenever I watch his dance. It's really funny.🤣
