Biography

Lee Joon Gi was born on April 17th, 1982 in Busan, South Korea. His immediate family consists of his parents and one younger brother. While growing up, Joon Gi was a fairly normal kid who enjoyed sports & computers. He first became interested in the performing arts as a high school student after watching a play of “Hamlet.” Lee Joon Gi initially failed to get into college and, because of this, he moved to Seoul with almost nothing, but a dream to work in the entertainment field. For the next couple of years, Joon Gi worked at various part time jobs, before gaining acceptance into the Seoul Institute of the Arts.
In 2001, Lee Joon Gi made his debut as a model for fashion brand So Basic, appearing alongside actress Hee-seon Kim. He would go on to appear in many more CF's and music videos. Joon Gi continued to audition for various acting roles, but not did not find immediate success. In 2004, Joon Gi landed his first substantive acting role in the TV drama "Star's Echo" - co-produced by MBC & Fuji TV. Joon Gi would also make his acting debut on the big screen in the same year. Competing alongside 2000 other participants, Joon Gi landed a role in the Japanese film "The Hotel Venus." During his time working on the set of "The Hotel Venus," Lee Joon Gi found himself less than pleased with his management company & having to work part time jobs to support himself. "The Hotel Venus" would go on to become moderately successful in Japan selling 2.8 million tickets. Lee Joon Gi would also start work on his first Korean film "Flying Boys" in 2004.
One year later, Lee Joon Gi would land the role of "Gong-gil" in the 2005 film "The King and the Clown." The film was an unusual historical drama centered around the relationship between two male clown actors - one having traditional masculine traits and the other (played by Lee Joon Gi) having highly effeminate traits. To land the role of Gong-gil, Joon Gi endured four separate auditions. While filming "The King and the Clown," Joon Gi spoke in a higher pitched voice and acted effeminate even when not in front of the camera to stay in the character of Gong-Gil. The movie with little expectations upon its release, would then go on to become the highest grossing film of its time, selling 12.3 million tickets. Lee Joon Gi also appeared concurrently on the small screen in the SBS drama series "My Girl," further boosting his popularity & making him one of the most popular actors in Asia.
After "The King and the Clown," Joon Gi has usually taken on more masculine roles to avoid typecasting. He starred in two successful television series, "Time Between Dog And Wolf" & "Il Ji-Mae: The Phantom Thief," while appearing on the big screen in "Fly, Daddy, Fly," "Virgin Snow" (his second Japanese film), & the box office hit "May 18."
In 2009, Lee Joon Gi worked primarily on his musical career, holding fan concerts in South Korea, China, and Japan, while releasing several digital download singles. Lee Joon Gi was also appointed an ambassador for Korea tourism by the Korea Tourism Organization. He is now set to star in the upcoming MBC drama "Hero" this November of 2009.
