Hong Kong fans take Iljimae to the streets!

According to Lee Jun Ki’s management agency, Mentor Entertainment, Lee Jun Ki’s Hong Kong fans have made their own “Iljimae” promotional posters/items and took them onto the busy streets after the drama was confirmed to be broadcast in Hong Kong.

The representative of Lee Jun Ki’s Hong Kong Fans Club said: “The Hong Kong fans have limited powers, but since Lee Jun Ki’s drama has been confirmed to air in Hong Kong, everyone of us took the initiative to do what we can for him.”

Touched by his fans’ actions, Lee Jun Ki, through his respective company, has expressed his gratitude to them. He said: “I was truly surprised and touched when I heard that my fans from Hong Kong went out to the street to help promote the drama. I really wish to thank them. I hope that ‘Iljimae’ which will begin broadcast in Hong Kong soon, will be well-liked by everyone.”

Same drama, different treatment. I’m pretty sure fan clubs in Singapore didn’t go to such an extent. “Iljimae” has already finished airing over here, but it seems like there wasn’t much discussions over the drama. Perhaps, the Korean drama fever over here is truly not what it used to be anymore.

STUPID! told you singaporeans got bad taste, dont know how to see what is good and what is not.
They apparently only know how to watch stupid channel 8 dramas like little nyonya which is totally nonsensical, since they only have the brains for this type of bad low-class dramas.
we should go out on the streets too!
