• Actor Lee Jong Suk Spotted Enjoying London, Finds Himself in a Drama-Like Experience

    Actor Lee Jong Suk recently had a charming trip to London, England.

    On September 15, Lee Jong Suk shared a video titled “Walking Through London with Jong Suk” on his YouTube channel. The video shows his fun-filled journey through the city.

    After a long 14-hour flight, Lee Jong Suk arrived in London and met a Taiwanese fan who recognized him. He was amazed and said, “I met a Taiwanese fan in London. They said they’re the president of the Taiwanese fan club.”

    The next day, he visited Buckingham Palace to watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony. There, he was recognized by international fans who asked for photos, and he happily agreed. He also warmly interacted with Korean fans.

    After the ceremony, he joked, “The real disaster was that I kept holding the camera, but I didn’t press the record button. I held it up so long that my arm hurt, but I forgot to record.”

    Lee Jong Suk also had a fun moment posing with an ice cream, saying, “Suddenly, it’s like a music video,” making everyone laugh.

    Walking down a quiet street, he commented, “The wind is strong, and my hair is a mess. I’m drunk on romance and emotion. Passing through crowded places and walking down such a street makes me feel at ease. Seeing this, I’m definitely an introvert.”

    At a restaurant, Lee Jong Suk received a special gift from the staff who recognized him—a box of macarons with a welcome message. He thanked them, saying, “It feels like a drama right now. I’m really grateful.”

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
