“Chinese fans just love the
characters I played in several soap operas, including ‘Boys Over
Flowers,’ ‘City Hunter’ and ‘The Heirs,’ which only just wrapped up,”
said Lee during the interview.
“I think it is due to the power of
Korean soap operas, and I have made great efforts over the past three
years to interact with my Chinese fans,” Lee added.
Lee made an
appearance on one of the most popular Chinese TV shows, “Chunwan,” on
January 30, becoming the first Korean featured on the show. “It was a
new experience for me. I was very honored that I could represent Korea,”
continued Lee. He also added that, “I was quite proud that I was able
to sing the Korean version of the background song from ‘Boys Over
Flowers.’ ”
Recently, Lee has been selected as one of the top
five Korean actors, along with Kim Soo-hyun, Jang Geun-seok, Kim Woo-bin
and Lee Jong-seok, in a survey on the “2014 Top Korean Emperor,”
conducted by the Chinese entertainment website Kugou.com.
