[ENG] Lee Seung Gi and Lee Seo Jin Vogue Magazine




ENGLISH TRANS @YulingSG
Translated from Japanese to Chinese: 熬夜的小小 (Ao Ye De Xiao Xiao)

“It’s really nice to have someone around you whom you can chat and discuss with happily.” - Lee Seung Gi

“Recently, Seo Jin hyung is a little obsessed with golf, I hope that he can reduce the number of times that he plays golf (laughs).” - Lee Seung Gi

How did Seo Jin-san feel when Seung Gi visited you at work?

Seo Jin: At the beginning, he said that he wasn’t coming (laughs). Anyway, I’m very thankful and happy (that he came).

As an actor, Seo Jin is the senior, do you ask him for suggestions and stuff like this?

Seung Gi: If we are talking about acting, then we won’t argue about it. Because these are my dramas, I’m still the one who understands them the most. However, if it’s an opinion based on direct observations, I will listen to them. Take for example, when I was acting in ‘The King 2 Hearts’, in order to appear looking like a soldier, I combed my hair especially straight. When Seo Jin-san saw it, he said, “Your entire face looked like it’s ruined, it’s better not to comb it this way (laughs).”. Although it’s just a trivial matter, but it’s still important isn’t it

In order to help each other become stronger, both of you are embarking on a new stage. Can both of you share with us the things you’re looking forward to? When do both of you plan to get married?

Seung Gi: Of course I feel that there will be a day that I will eventually do this (*Yuling here: It seems like he’s referring that it’s too early to talk about marriage now, thanks to lsgairenint’s help here^^) but it’s too early to talk about it now.

Seung Gi-san’s latest drama ‘The King 2 Hearts’ is going to be broadcast in Japan soon.

Seung Gi: I think that ‘The King 2 Hearts’ is a special, new and original drama. It’s very different piece of work from the other Korean dramas that the Japanese viewers have been watching. Although I think that there might be people who like it and people who don’t, but I hope that the viewers can feel that there are still such dramas in Korea. Imagine that in the modern era, there is a “king” who exists in the real society, the Japanese viewers should also be able to look for similar feelings within the drama. Moreover, the acting by the senior actors and actresses are also brilliant.

Seung Gi has already debuted for 9 years. What is the most memorable thing for you?

Seung Gi: I often will get this question, because there were too many memorable things, so there aren’t any that I can think of immediately. Maybe it’s when I received the ‘Best Newcomer’ award? Although I’m saying this, actually there are many things which happened recently and they often surface in my mind. Although I’m in the middle of a holiday now, because I will watch variety shows and so I will think about the areas which I’m inadequate in, (stuff like) do I appear like I’m very great or perhaps obviously and what if it’s like this or like that…

Or perhaps obviously and what if it’s like this or like that, it might be more meaningful, things like these…when I’m resting, I look back at the past 9 years and I’ve been running continuously….

--Having debuted in Japan for 3 months, you’ve rewritten the record for an overseas singer to perform a live concert in Nippon Budokan.

As a senior, Seo Jin’s evaluation of Seung Gi is “No matter what thing he does, he is very serious and works hard at it” and furthermore, he’s very tolerant in his speech. Seung Gi as a junior, he expressed that Seo Jin is ” I can’t feel the difference in age, he’s an elder brother whom people feel comfortable with”, an innocent thought like this.

Because they have been given a lot, so in return, they wish to give back.

Both of you have a really good relationship ah.

Seo Jin: When we first knew each other, it was because we were both from the same company. Seung Gi is really super polite, he’s humble and understanding and he’s well-liked by people. I felt that we could become good friends. Therefore, I wanted to give back even more. Anyway, once we start drinking, we will become good friends very quickly (laughs). Furthermore, we had also travelled overseas together. It should be, as compared to friendship, it’s probably already feels more like the presence of a family member. 

Seung Gi: When I first saw Seo Jin-san, it was the night before Christmas on a particular year. I was quite free on that day, I felt that I would look quite pathetic if I were to have nothing to do at home. The company president invited me saying this, “Now I’m drinking red wine with Seo Jin-san, would you like to join us?”. Although I wasn’t acquainted with Seo Jin-san, I still went for it. It was my first time meeting (Seo Jin) at that time, however in the following year, the night before Christmas, we were also together. I always feel we will often spend Christmases together in the future. 

Spending Christmas together with a good relationship 

Seung Gi: This year’s Christmas…
