(Actor Lee Dongwook's 25th debut anniversary fan meeting The live broadcast will begin shortly)
We’re now in 1999
What?
Why am I
Why.. How did I get here?
I was reported missing in 2024
I mean
It’s 1999 now?
What happened?
Hey, who wrote this script?
Oh my god
What am I supposed to do?
I’m desperste to go back to 2024
I better do what I have to do to go back to 2024
Let’s go
Yes
You're so handsome!
I know
I'll kick things off with Deli Spice's 'Confession'
I'm not the best singer, so I trust you'll understand
Starting like this is always nerve-wracking
So, you should know it took a lot of courage to open with a song
So please do understand
I didn’t say it to get an applaud
By the way, I think I need to clear the situation
I was taking a photoshoot in Gapyeong
and I closed my eyes for a moment
And they were saying Lee Dongwook's missing
Oh god
They said I was missing
And then I found myself here
What happened?
So, we’re now in 1999
How did you guys get here?
Well
Oh, you took train to get here
You’re not helping me
I see
Oh, we all did a time slip together
Thank you, my fans
Thank you for doing a time slip with me in case I feel lonely
But there is a reason why we came to 1999
Do you know why?
Yes
Huh?
Right
I debuted in 1999
I was 19, then
How old were you in 1999?
You weren't born yet?
2 years old?
Okay, good for you
I can clearly remember the day I debuted
I was a high school senior
My debut, as some of you might know, was on November 5th
In just three days, it'll be 25 years since I debuted
Back then, CSAT was around the same time
Maybe a month and a half?
I started shooting my debut project two months before the exam
It means I gave up studying
I gave it all up
So I kind of commited to this life
Like, "If I don’t make it, I’m in trouble"
With that mindset, I dived in
worked hard
got scolded a lot by the director
and finally debuted on November 5th, 1999
So now that I came back to 1999
It feels weird and fresh
So now
let me introduce myself
Celebrating actor Lee Dongwook's 25th anniversary since debut
World’s very first
Universe’s very first
Time slip fan meeting
Missing FINDING WOOK’s host, Lee Dongwook
Nice to meet you
Back in 2019
which was five years ago
I held a fan meeting, "I'm WOOK"
And now, five years later
here I am again, hosting another fan meeting here in Seoul, Korea
Some of you may know
I do everything by myself
I'm running the whole show here, hosting, singing, everything
So I hope you're excited and looking forward to it
I noticed on Bubble, some of you were hoping for guest
Like, "Is Yu Jae-seok showing up?"
"Or maybe Jonamjidae"
But I’m telling you
I’m gonna do this all by myself
So
I need your huge love and cheer
Got it?
Did you all got it?
I love it
Oh, and fans who are watching this through live streaming, nice to meet you
This is my first time doing live streaming
To our fans around the world and in Korea who couldn't make it
I hope you enjoy this with us
Whether you're at home or in your car
Please cheer me up altogether
Please
Hope you all enjoy this
But here's the thing, we've come to year 1999
Come on, get into it
We've come to 1999
But hey
Aren't we going back to 2024?
We need to go back, right?
Some people weren't even born in 1999
That means they're all in their mothers' wombs now
We need to go back to 2024, right?
So how do we get back?
I saw something earlier
There was a mysterious envelope on the desk
On the envelope, it said, "Open"
So, I'll open this
Missing FINDING WOOK Guide
The only way to return to 2024 is
by completing missions with all of you and piecing together the missing puzzle
Each mission you complete will earn you a piece
and once the puzzle is complete, you all might can go back to 2024
So, it says, "Good luck!"
Today, I'll be on stage hosting
but I'll need a lot of help from you all
So, let's solve missions together
and complete the puzzle to make our way back to 2024
Got it?
So where do we put these puzzles?
The puzzle...
Oh, here's the puzzle board
As you can see, there's a puzzle board here
Once we complete these five pieces
we can all happily return to 2024 together
And since I'm currently filming a drama
we absolutely must go back, okay?
Wonder what the puzzle’s going to look like when it’s done
Hope you’re as excited as I am
Are you ready?
Okay, let's go for the first mission
Bring it on
The first mission is... Lee Dongwook Golden Bell Challenge
Just from the title, you can probably guess this mission
Will the questions win, or will I?
Lee Dongwook Golden Bell Challenge
Show us the instructions
A time slip quiz looking back on the 25-year journey of Lee Dongwook
To complete the mission, you need to get all five questions right
If you fail, you can still succeed by completing a penalty
So there are five questions in total
But you know what?
The writers and our PR team didn't tell me anything about questions
But I heard the questions are super hard
Like, almost impossible to get right
So I'm a bit nervous
Huh? I can do this?
Oh, I thought I was doing fencing for a second
Okay, I can do it!
They must have prepared some nasty penalties
So I'll try my best to get them right to avoid those
You guys need to help me get the right answer
Got it?
Alright then
Let’s get started with Lee Dongwook
taking on the Lee Dongwook Golden Bell
I hate this sound no matter when I hear it
I wrote something on the board earlier
I was in Class 5, Year 3 in high school
So, I wrote, "Class 5, Lee Dongwook, fighting!"
Alright, let's see the first question
Give me the question
Huh? It's on the back?
Where?
Lee Dongwook has played hotel-related roles four times
In "Single in Seoul", he was a hotel part-timer
In "Happy New Year," he was a hotel CEO
In "Hotel King," he was a general manager
And in "My Girl," he was the hotel heir and executive director
Now, name the hotel from "My girl"....
Oh, what should I do?
I can't think of even one syllable
Huh? What was it?
What?
Why do you keep saying I can do it?
Huh?
Oh really
I have no idea
I really can't recall it
Wow, I have no single idea
What is this?
I don't know
Avenue?
Was it Avenue?
Okay, Avenue
Huh?
What did you say?
Oh, I am not allowed to cheat?
You guys told me
Okay first, Avenue hotel
No?
Then what is it?
What is the answer?
Tell me the answer
What?
Oh, Avenuel hotel
Wrong from the first question
But how can I not remember anything?
I shot "My Girl" in 2005
I shot it in 2005...
How many years ago was that
No way I can’t remember anything
When I was filming "My Girl"
I remember filming in Jeju island
How do I explain this
I was the main character for the first time in a mini-series
I was very nervous and had a hard time
But it was very hot in Jeju Island during that time
But we had to wear winter clothes
So I don’t even know how things were happening
I just remember filming in a hurry
when filming for "My Girl"
And then it was hard because it became very cold
Yeah, that’s what happened
I got it wrong already from the first question
This is a disaster
How did you guys know?
Huh? What did you say?
You didn’t know?
Then since we both didn’t know
I will get it right starting from the second question
Give me the second question
After his military service, Lee Dongwook's comeback in "Scent of a Woman" made waves
with his six-pack shower scene
Who thought of those words?
There was a lot of buzz
Right after filming, he treated himself
to this to reward all his hard work
What do you think it was?
I know this one
I know exactly what it is
What?
I’m not like that anymore
That body is in the past
I know the exact answer to this
The answer is
Samgyetang
Clap loudly for me please
At the time, I went on a diet
for about two or three months before discharge
For those who know, I gained 16kg while I was in the military
compared to when I enlisted
I went from 70kg to 86kg
But drama "Scent of a Woman" was already decided on
And I was told that I had to get in shape as there are lots of shirtless scenes
So I ended up starting my diet while I was still in the military
I worked really hard for 2 and a half to 3 months
So I was probably at my lowest in body fat at the time
So after working super hard and filming the scene
I was extremely hungry
So I thought about what to eat
But I just couldn’t eat things like jjajangmyeon or ramen
So I chose samgyetang
Because samgyetang is high in protein
So I remember eating that and going to film again
This level of difficulty is nothing
Why the applause for this?
We’re so out of sync
Alright
With this level of difficulty, I think I can keep getting them right
Let’s move on to the next question
Next question please
In "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God," Lee Dongwook played the Grim Reaper, guiding souls to afterlife
Later, it was revealed that the Grim Reaper was Wang Yeo, the king served by Kim Shin
and his tragic past struck a chord with viewers
So, what's the name of the company the Grim Reaper works for?
Was the name of the company revealed?
You know this?
Who actually knows the answer to this?
Raise your hands
No one?
What is it, the Grim Reaper Corporation?
What? What was it?
Wait, writers, was this really in the show?
They say it is
Oh, when someone gets a number ticket in the tea shop
The name of the company was on it
How could I remember that?
How many letters is it? Give me a hint
Four?
We need to use collective intelligence
Give me some ideas with four letters
Huh?
What? ReaperTech?
It sounds like an IT company
Sounds like a developer
Okay, ReaperTech
It's four letters again
Please give me a hint guys
Sorry?
Grim Reaper Tea? That's not the name of a company
ReaperTech, is it?
Oh, they say it's ReaperTech
They were so adamant and said it's right
Okay, then I will write down ReaperTech
I have no idea anyway
The answer is... ReaperTech
It's the right answer?
Is it?
It's written like this?
Wow, who was it?
Who told me the answer?
Who was it?
Sorry?
Wowzers! How did you know that?
Thank you
Thank you, thank you
Thank you so much
Thanks to your love and support you gave to "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God"
This is more like a life-time work of mine not just an episode
It's a turning point in my life
Thanks to that drama, I can do fan meeting and meet you all
And it still gets re-aired every winter, right?
Sometimes, I catch it while flipping through channels
I miss that time whenever I watch it
So yeah, I end up watching it every winter
Alright
Then, let's move onto the fourth question
Fourth question please
In episode 15 of "Tale of the Nine Tailed", Lee Yeon lets the Imoogi possess his body to protect Ji-ah from it
On top of that, he takes this poison beforehand, which weakens a Gumiho's powers, to defeat the Imoogi
What is this poision?
ReaperTech?
No, I remember that
I remember putting horse blood on my hand before fighting the Imoogi
But did I eat something?
Oh, right, evening primrose
Oh, right, right
Right
You guys are experts
The answer is, evening primrose
Evening Primrose
"Tale of the Nine Tailed" is like
I discussed a lot with the writer even at the beginning stage of production
and also at the set
which became a fond memory
I also got to do a season 2 as well
So I feel very attached to the Lee Yeon character
Both "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" and "Tale of the Nine Tailed" were fantasy dramas
and even this fan meeting has a fantasy vibe
Like, we’re talking about time-slipping and all
Building a solid universe and selling it well is super important
I remember thinking a lot about stuff like
How can I make people believe I’m really a Gumiho
while filming
Even "Tale of the Nine Tailed" was re-airing
"Tale of the Nine Tailed"
Well good, since rerun fees come in
Wait, I already got one wrong, so the penalty’s locked in?
I have to get all five questions right?
This is too
Do you know what the funny thing is?
There were 4 questions, but nothing's stuck in my head
Thank you
You guys know me better than I know myself
Thank you
Sorry?
Ah, Samgyetang?
Right, Samgyetang
Let's move onto the last question
Last question please
In "A Shop for Killers,"
Lee Dongwook plays Jinman, the owner of the MurderHelp shopping mall and Jian's uncle
When Jian is threatened, she hides in Jinman's storage
and tries to unlock the door
Ha...
using Jinman's birthday
So, what birthday does Jian enter?
They really went all out...
These questions...
Ah...
Do any of you guys know what it is?
You do?
Huh?
November 28th?
Which year?
Which year was Jinman born?
Before this
they told me the questions
would be hard because of a penalty
They even joked about
asking me to name the license plates of the cars my characters drove
Like Seol Gong-chan's car in "My Girl"
or other cars from other dramas
License plates from those cars?
So I was like
"Are you crazy? Who on earth would know that?"
"Nobody would get it"
But honestly, this difficulty level is also insane
I have no idea, I give up
I will talk about this with Jinman and reach to an agreement later
I don't know, no idea
I will get the penalty anyway
What is it? When?
931214
Jinman was born in 1993?
He was born in 1993
You guys are shocked too right?
He’s a ’93-liner, but he’s got too much backstory for an uncle
Ah, I see
I'll just have a sip of water
I unexpectedly got
your help but got the answer wrong
and it's time for penalty
"A Shop for Killers" is my most recent work, so it's probably still fresh in your memory
You had to sign up to watch it, though
Did you guys watch it?
That's good to hear
Jinman's a pretty charming guy, isn't he?
I really enjoyed shooting "A Shop for Killers"
because I didn't have to do much
as I only got to be in bits of scenes
that's why I loved it
So, I love works like "A Shop for Killers" and "Strangers from Hell"
I'm not in there much yet it's impactful enough
Alright
Which penalty do you think I'm going to do?
Sorry?
I have no idea what the penalty would be
What's the penalty?
That's why they told me to practice dancing
Ah
Do you guys remember?
I dance 'TT' in my 2017 fan meeting
Ever since then, whether it’s overseas or here
everyone’s always asking me to dance
Honestly, I hated that, so I avoided it even more
But I guess today, I can’t escape it
Just to pass this mission
and to go back to present, I have to do this
This is insane
Hit the music
What do you mean encore
No wonder why they pushed me to practice
When I went to the practice room
this is a weird way to put it
but I felt like a cow
being dragged there
Encore?
Alright, I'll do it once more
They told me to practice this multiple times
Did you guys enjoy it?
Stop saying encore
Okay, once more
I'll do it again
Okay, again
I'll do it again
Okay, that's it
Since I took the penalty twice
you can say that I passed the mission, right?
Yes, good
Let’s all shout "Mission accomplished!" together
Mission accomplished
Why am I always the one to sweat and get tired
You guys are too quiet
Good
And, since I passed the first mission
I want you to give me a puzzle piece
Thank you
Here
Right, the first puzzle piece is there
Doing the first mission made me realize
that I don't know much about myself
When this is shot and aired
it tends to fade away and get forgotten pretty quickly
Because I need to move onto the next one
Anyway, thanks to all of you, it was great to solve quizzes together
and look back on my past works
I hope you guys can continue support me and watch my work
I need to move onto the next one
because I passed the first misson
But I have a question for you guys
Are any of you guys from outside of Korea?
There's a lot
Then who..
Who traveled the farthest to be here?
Russia?
Where?
Indonesia?
The Philippines?
Alright, thank you
Oh, Okay
I can't hear you, alright, alright
I shouldn't have asked
Okay
Anyways, thank you all for coming all the way here from abroad
Fans watching the livestream, you’re enjoying this, right?
Okay
Since we can't get feedback
please do well on your own
We've got the first puzzle
We still have four more missions to complete
So please keep showing your enthusiasm and support
Are you confident about the next mission?
Alright
Now we need to do the second mission
And what is the second mission?
I mentioned the dress code in advance, right?
School uniforms, Ivy League style, or preppy looks
That's why I dressed like this today
The reason I'm wearing this outfit is
it's almost identical to the school uniform I wore in my debut work
So I chose to wear this today
For this segment
I’m thinking of picking the best dresser among you all
Let's see the instruction board
Among those who time slipped to 1999 with me
If we find the best-dressed fan, the mission’s a success!
Looking around from the stage
I can see so many of you nailed the dress code today
Thank you so much for putting in the effort
Here's how we'll do this
With this camcorder
I'll film those who dressed well
But wait
The important thing is...
I know
I know some of you don’t want to be on camera
So everyone, cover your faces quickly
Cover your face
Please cover your faces
Well, but
those who didn't follow the dress code don't need to hide
Among those who followed today's dress code
I can't see all the way to the back
Oh yes
You can see it like this, right?
Cover your faces quickly
Just so you know, I’m not doing this for nothing
For this dress code
we choose the best-dressed people
we'll select three people
And they'll receive prizes
I'm not trying to embarrass you
I’ll give you a Samsonite suitcase, I’m currently modeling for
I hope you'll travel often with these
And if international fans or those from other regions receive them
It'll be convenient for their trip home, right?
Now, for the dress code..
Why can't I see well...
Okay, over there
This girl is wearing a real, real school uniform
Are you still a student?
Oh, 11th grade?
Your face isn't showing right now
Is that okay?
Oh, you don't like that?
Does this feel too much like a crime scene?
Like an "Unanswered Questions"?
Is it okay? Can I show your face?
She says it's okay to show her face
Please say hello to the camera
Thank you
What's your name, young lady?
What's your name?
Joo-sin
So you're in 11th grade now?
Oh, I see, thank you
Where are you from?
Oh, Seoul? That's good
Is that really your school uniform?
What did your mom say when you left wearing that?
"Why are you wearing your uniform on Saturday when you don't even wear it normally?"
Wait, what do you usually wear to school?
Oh, they allow regular clothes at school
I see
Alright, thank you dear
For wearing your uniform here today
Ah...
I can't see the back very well
Oh? Wait a moment, here
Here
Over here
The person waving "Wookdong"
Thank you for dressing up so nicely, even with the ribbon
Where are you from?
Taiwan? Oh really?
Oh, that's great
Then the carrier will be perfect for you, right?
Yes, alright
Did you come from Taiwan wearing that?
Did you change after arriving?
Oh, it's a real uniform?
Oh, thank you
You're amazing
Thank you
Congrats to our best dresser!
You didn't get on the plane dressed like that, did you?
On the second floor...
I can't really see the second floor
No, but
But you are wearing a Brazilian soccer uniform
Well, kids play soccer
They play soccer at school
But you are too dressed with Brazilian uniform
Where's other best dresser on the second floor?
I want to pick a best dresser on the second floor this time
I'm sorry, sorry
Since two people got picked on the first floor
But I can't see you clearly
Oh, here, here
Here, here, you two
Out of the two of you
Are you two friends?
No? Did you come separately?
Then do rock-paper-scissor
Rock paper scissors
Rock paper
You two
Rock paper scissors
What?
I was trying to look at it with my own eyes
Rock, paper, scissors
Rock paper scissors
Oh, congratulations
Congrats
Where are you from?
Oh, you're a Korean, okay
Congratulations
Surprisingly, you don’t seem worried about being on camera
To be honest, I think it was kind of hard
To see my face while preparing for this segment
Yes, take this please, thank you
Congratulations once again, the three of you
Yes, congratulations
Don't forget to go to the ticket booth on your way home and receive the prize
It’s not just a gift card or anything, it’s a real item
You just have to drag your suitcase like this
Please go to the ticket booth and check yourself
All of our staff members remember who it is
So I hope you receive the product
Thank you
But this mission was easy, right?
Well, there was a reason why I told you the dress code
I really needed your help
Thanks to you, I succeeded in the second mission
Succeeded!
Now, give me the second puzzle piece
Thanks
The second piece of the puzzle is probably here
Ugh
Oh, it's working
Good
So we've put together the second piece
It's been a while since we started
Do you know how long it's been since we started?
It's already been 50 minutes
We still have 3 missions left
We still have time to enjoy
But before we do the next mission, I have to go backstage and come back
They want me to come in
There's nothing much I can do
They told me to practice dancing, too
So I did like this
See you
I prepared a video, so please wait while watching the video
Thank you
(Lee Dongwook's monologue, beautiful face)
(Lee Dongwook, a man who has been making a bowl of acting for 25 years)
Hello, I'm actor Lee Dongwook
Today, I’ll show you my true self
Please be looking forward for it!
(Q. Do you remember when you shot your debut drama?) To be honest, I don't remember the day I shot my debut drama
I was really nervous
Thinking that my face is on TV..
I was overly nervous
and looking forward to it
If we go back to those days
I want to tell myself this!
Dongwook, you can do it!
You'll be a great actor!
Let's just look forward and run!
(Q: Dongwook, are you popular?) Oh, come on
I'm no celebrity
Actually... Popularity is
Like clouds in the sky
There's a part where there's a part where there's nothing
That's what I think
Yes...
Well...
Rather than following the popularity
To become the actor that I want
I will work harder
(Q. Dongwook's conception dream?) My conception dream?
I...
It'd be before I was born because it's a conception dream
(...)
My mom told me about her conception dream
which was a gigantic pig
A Pinkish pig ran up to her
and hugged her
That's what she told me
(Q. Dongwook's complex?)
Ha...
My complex?
I don't care about my complex
I can't change myself
despite how others see me
I try to live as how I was born
(Q. Changing the topic, please exude your charm!) My charm?
My charm is
I do as people say
when they ask me to do this kind of stuff
but I hate it so much
(Q. Excuse me... hey, Dongwook!!)
Ah!
Hi, ha ha..
(Q. What's keep you going nowadays?)
What keeps me going?
I think the time when I get to
chat with my fans
I use "Bubble" which is like a mail box
and my fans leave messages to me
and I reply to them
which is a great way to spend time
I also get angry whenever there's miscommunication
but generally, I enjoy chatting with them
(Q. What do you eat to gain strength?) The food I eat to gain strength is
instead of eating what's good for my body
I just eat what I want to eat
that's what I think
(Q. What do you enjoy eating nowadays?) Recently, I've been enjoying eating
hamburger and taco
(Q. Please tell me your blood type~) My blood type is B
But people say that with B blood type
are all "bad guys"
but I'm nothing like that
But it's just one of the four blood types
But I just know what my blood type is
because I might need some in emergencies
and I know I'm RH+ B
(Q. Lee Dongwook from other people's POV vs. my POV)
People tend to think that I'm tough
but in reality, I'm very...
soft-hearted
and... um...
I'm very warm, or something like that
So you guys!
I don't want you to misunderstand me-!
(Q. Yourself in 10 years...) Me in 10 years
10 years...
I'd be 54
I wonder if I can still hold a fan meeting after 10 years
Honestly, I thought about this
while preparing for this fan meeting
This was a fan meeting to celebrate my 25th debut anniversary
but if it gets to 30th
I will be somewhere close to 50
and I wonder if my fans will be there still
(Hmm..)
I will keep on trying
and working hard for that
Myself in 10 years!
I will be continuing to work hard like now
and communicate with my fans
and spend great time with my fans...
I hope I become that kind of Lee Dongwook
(To. NEOHEE, my angels...) Um... We celebrated my 25th anniversary
Time flies by so quickly
I thank my fans for being with me
and without you guys
I wouldn't be here today
I really thank you guys
and I hope we can be together in the future
I will work hard as a return
And this kind of pointless contents
will be out occasionally
so please tune in
Thank you!!
(The face of Lee Dongwook who acts with passion)
(2024, NEOHEE's choice!)
2024, NEOHEE's choice
Hello
I'm here to announce the voting result of 2024, NEOHEE's choice, Lee Dongwook
Nice to meet you
Actor Lee Dongwook's 25th-anniversary fan meeting, FINDING WOOK
The atmosphere was steaming in this voting place
Before we start our fan meeting
I want to ask if you guys voted on the voting board at the lobby
Right, thank you for giving your precious vote
to complete this segment
This will be a fan meeting of collaboration
Show us the explanation board for what NEOHEE's choice is in 2024!
We figure out your taste and thoughts via NEOHEE's Choice
If you make a promise to reflect your voting result of NEOHEE's Choice
I passed the mission
To add more
two-way interaction has been the motto of this fan meeting
so I created segment like this
But, the most important thing is
I have no idea what you guys voted on
They didn't tell me
what you guys voted for
and I'm curious about it
And to the fans who are watching this on live
I'd appreciate if you guys
vote on whichever side you want
Right, please bring out the result
The staffs told me
that you all put stickers on, right?
So, they are counting it one by one manually
About 99% of the votes
have been counted
and that means I need to buy some time
I wonder how the results would come out
But, I have no idea what you guys voted for
How did you guys feel when you looked at it?
Did you guys feel disappointed?
Or did you feel
like it was something that you always expected on?
That's a relief, alright
Right, the result came out as I was talking about it
Before I show you guys the result
I'll first check out the topic of our first vote
What is it?
It’s only been on twice so far
The super rare Lee Dongwook Bubble Live
On this day, I want to chat face-to-face
Which Bubble Live do you want to watch?
Oh, this was it
I went on Bubble Live
right, just twice so far
One time, I was tipsy
at our company sports day
saw Somin doing it, and turned it on to copy her
The second was during the Wookdong pop-up event
That’s it
So
The Bubble Live you want to see: a Christmas Live like a special gift
or a New Year’s Live where we make wishes for 2025 together
Alright
There's lots of stickers
Why am I here alone when your guys' stickers are everywhere
Ah, I see
I feel like I know which one it'd be when I rip it off just this much
Do you guys want to watch my Bubble Live?
Why?
It's so bothersome
Let's see where you guys voted for the most
Ah, right
Did anyone here watch my Bubble Live I did accidentally?
There's quite a lot
How was it? Did you guys like it?
But
Sorry?
You liked it
But I didn't know how to turn it off
and told you guys to get off
I didn't know how to end it because it was my first time
I got yelled by my PR
Would it be a previous Christmas live
or 2025, New Year's live to make wish together
Let's see the result
This one got this much
and for the New Year's live
Oh, there's a bit of a difference, right?
Let's see the rest
Ah-ha
I can just tell which one got most votes, right?
The Bubble live you guys want to watch the most is
the precious Christmas live
I see that
they brought lots of props here in advance
The staffs did
Why don't I do a little pretend now
Okay
To be honest, I'm doing this for you guys to take pictures of me
How do I look?
Someone told me to take it off
Take it off
Alright
What is this?
What is this snake?
Oh, next year is the year of snake?
Ah, that's why
Okay, alright
But, why do you guys want to watch my Christmas Live?
Sorry?
Because you got no boyfriend?
Okay, any other reasons?
Huh?
Oh, it's the soonest one
You want me to get on it asap
Okay
You want to spend Christmas with someone you like the most
But why with me
Okay, Christmas Live
Alrighty
I don't have any plans for this year's Christmas
It's just the same every year
Huh?
I want to shoot something, a shooting
No, I can be on live at the set
I can be on live everywhere
with my phone
So, the Bubble live on Christmas
Right, I will think about that
Thank you
Gosh it's so hot
Hot
This was the topic
The discussion
Okay
Let's check out the second discussion
Please show us the second one
NO to season greeting with the same theme every year
You get to choose the theme to 2026's season greeting
What's your choice of the theme of the season greeting?
And the board for this too
Thank you
The first one is a peek into Lee Dongwook's hobbies
Obsessing Over Lee Dongwook's Sports
The second one is, I need a manager like this at my workplace
Lee Dongwook's Office Life
But I feel like the Office Life one have more votes
because if I talk about baseball on my Bubble live
you guys hate it
I can't tell the exact number of people
who are subscribed to Bubble here
They say it's a secret or whatever
but there's quite a lot
There's a lot
It might be a lot more than what you guys think
But, not every one of them responds
but whenever I talk about baseball or Olympics
they all tell me to stop
That was about 90%
So, I don't think this got that many votes
Just my thoughts
Let's take a peek
Obsessing Over Sports got...
What? There's more than I thought
Oh? Ah....
Let's take a look
This is what we got for Sports
Office Life
The rest is a breeze
Not even comparable
So this is the gap
Office Life got selected with way more votes
But I'm curious about this
The... I know that I love sports
and talk about it often
but do you guys get mad when you get Bubble like that?
Honestly
they all say, "stop talking about baseball!"
There's about 30 exclamation points
Sorry? You said that because you wanted team Samsung to win?
Oh, I'm sorry
What?
Do you think I'm a fan to a winning team?
I'm sorry
Alright
Did you guys get to see the theme to this one's season greeting?
How did you guys find it?
This is the third time we're doing a season greeting
and we've been doing it for three years
but there's a lot to think about every time
because it's important to choose
the right theme in the right way
It'd be no fun if we rent a studio
and make a calendar with pictures we take
So, I'm trying to diversify the props
and themes
and the location of shooting
This year's season greeting
is a continued version to this fan meeting
So if you get to see the season greeting later
you'll hear something about
I disappeard from there and came back
So, I hope you guys get to see it later
So, this is decided then?
The 2026's season greeing is Office Life
Why do you guys like the Office Life?
Because I never got to show you this side of myself?
Sorry?
You like be in a suit?
I think I was in a suit so many times, no?
The Tissot ad was also an office theme
You guys liked that a lot
Why is that
I guess there are things I don't understand
I don't think I have to know all the details too
Alright, then the next season greeting
wil have the theme of my life at an office
So you know what they brought me?
They brought this to me
What is this
Yes
It’s been a while since I’ve held a baseball and glove
I used to play baseball in an amateur baseball league
Some of you know I played in an amateur baseball league, right?
But I bet you don’t know why I quit
You do? Did I tell you?
When you get hit by a baseball, it hurts a lot
I got hit by the ball three weeks in a row
on my shoulder, my thigh, everywhere
When a baseball hits you, it leaves a bruise
in the exact pattern of the stitches
It hurts that much
After getting hit three weeks in a row, it really woke me up
I thought I'll get into trouble when I get hit in the face
So I quit right after that
So now I just like watching baseball
The baseball story was longer than Office Life, right?
Okay
It was nice to get to know you through your choice
Today’s missions feel a bit like I’m getting off easy
But hey, a fan meeting where we create moments together isn’t so bad, right?
Fans who are watching this live
I'm curious what you're choosing between the two
I'm going to do what I voted for anyway
Please keep it in your heart
I succeeded in the third mission, right?
Okay
Mission accomplished
Thank you
I have to keep putting this on
The third puzzle piece is complete, too
There are two pieces left
That just means our time together
is getting shorter
so let’s make the most of the time we have left and enjoy it even more
Give me some big cheers, okay?
Why is everyone so passive?
Were you tired before coming here?
You're hot?
Come up here It's a lot hotter here
Right, it's hot today
Why is it 23 degrees today?
In November?
The earth must be sick
I've never had such a hot November in my life
There are two pieces left
Anyway, there might be other missions
I'm looking forward to it
Let's check out the next mission later
I'll be out for a bit
Alright, as I said earlier in the video
it’s time for us to sing a duet together
I gave you that homework
and I trust you all did a great job with it
Right?
Before we start the duet song!
Just in case there are fans who haven't seen the video yet
Let's practice one more time and start
Start!
(Instrumental break)
(3)
(2)
(1)
(NEOHEE) We need! to talk! Lee! Dong! wook!
(Dongwook) Now what
(Dongwook) What's bothering you this time
(Dongwook) If you have something to say..
(Dongwook) Open up and tell me
(NEOHEE) You've changed a lot
(Dongwook) What did I do
(NEOHEE) You weren't like that before
(Dongwook) How was I?
(NEOHEE) These days, my tone, makeup, hair, even the way I dress
(NEOHEE) Everything about me annoys you
(Dongwook) That's just your thought
(NEOHEE) It's already been 25 years
(NEOHEE) since we started loving each other
(NEOHEE) Seeing the same face every day
(NEOHEE) must get tiring
(NEOHEE) But just so you know
(NEOHEE) there are plenty of people
(NEOHEE) lined up who like me too
(Dongwook) I don't stop anyone from leaving, go ahead
(NEOHEE) But there’s something about this connection
(NEOHEE) I just can’t control it
(NEOHEE) My heart says it’s over
(NEOHEE) But my body won’t follow
(NEOHEE) Maybe this is
(NEOHEE) what love is
But the female part is really high-pitched
((NEOHEE) Maybe I'm in love with you) Cheer up!
(Dongwook) Now listen to me
(Dongwook) You're too obsessing
(NEOHEE) It's not an obsession
(Dongwook) You're restraining me too much
(NEOHEE) Then you'll restrain me, too
(Dongwook) We're not even married, but like my wife
(Dongwook) But you intervene like a wife
(NEOHEE) To keep interested
(NEOHEE) I cut my
(NEOHEE) long hair
(NEOHEE) and curl it
I like short hair though
(NEOHEE) But how you
(NEOHEE) responded made me
(NEOHEE) feel kinda pathetic
(Dongwook) I liked you because of your long hair
(NEOHEE) Because I missed you
(NEOHEE) I called
(NEOHEE) and asked if you love me
(NEOHEE) But irritated, you only said
This is too high?
(NEOHEE) that you're busy
(Dongwook) Hearing it like this, I'm really sorry
(Dongwook) We need to talk
(NEOHEE) We might as well break up
(Dongwook) I really don't know you
(NEOHEE) Don't conclude like that
(Dongwook) I forgot how precious you are
(Dongwook) always by my side
Together~
(Together) We need to talk
(Together) We lack conversation
(Together) Though we love each other, little misunderstandings and thoughtless word
(Together) hurt us both
(Dongwook) I really love you
(Together) We need to talk
(Wow~)
(Great job~)
(Applause~)
Hello
Did you guys practice a lot?
You need to do this with me
I was surprised
While I was preparing for this song
I... got a lot of feedbacks
They said they're the ones who are singing, and all I do is just featuring
I felt very sorry despite being the one who chose the song
I didn't know the key'd be this high
So I was like what should I do
but the thing is, I lowered the key just by half
I thank you for nailing this song
Thank you
It's my job to sing and organize
events on stage
and I didn't feel much special when doing those
But this is our first time singing together
I looked at you guys from the stage
and I felt very proud
and happy
I even liked the color of the light stick, and I enjoyed it
How was it?
Alright
You don't want me to do this segment ever again right?
You don't mind? Okay
Then maybe we can do a duet sometime again
Did any of you guys listened to this song for the first time?
There quite a few
This is kind of an old song
But you all practiced it, I appreciate it
How did you guys memorize it?
By listening to the song?
Thank you, thank you
You listened to this three days straight?
Thank you a lot
Sorry?
You didn't practice at all and this is how you sing?
You're so great
Thank you for real
This makes me feel so happy
I love having this feedback
I'm pretty sure those who are watching on live also sang with us
Don't get self-conscious
Don't think that you look weird looking at the screen
and singing along
Don't mind that at all
We need to be together
Alrighty
Please stay tuned
Ah, we passed the duet mission
I should get a puzzle piece, right?
Okay
Thank you
The credit should go to my fans
you guys helped me
the mission's progressing smoothly
Thank you
The reason why I chose the song 'We Need to Talk'
is because, how should I say this?
I downloaded Bubble app in advance
I thought we needed to talk and have a chat
I felt that way because
of course I'm chatting with you guys via
Bubble app
but it's mostly me doing the talking
There was no time for us to meet in person
even when I'm doing a stage greeting or in a signing event
Usually, it’s just
a quick hello in passing
During those moments
I get to see the letters you give me
and hear your brief shouts
It really lifts my spirits
This time, I wanted to create
a proper moment to really talk
A chance for you and me, Lee Dongwook, to get to know each other a little better
So, let’s jump right into the next segment
Please show the explanation board
Ah, here it is
Curious Story WOOK
NEOHEE ask Dongwook what you’re curious about!
and Dongwook ask NEOHEE what he's curious about
It’s a two-way Q&A
If we make up for all the missed conversations
and get even closer, the mission is a success
We’ll get closer, right?
I’ve always had that kind of thought, a little bit
It can’t be helped, though
but it’s always NEOHEE
asking me questions and me just answering
But I also have some questions for you all
But I haven’t had the chance to ask questions
So, I thought this would be a good chance for me to ask some questions, too
Let’s make this a two-way conversation
I’ve prepared it like that
So, I heard there was a survey was done
I heard that a form was created in advance to do the survey
Did many people participate?
Even the fans watching the live broadcast
You can at least participate in the survey
I believe you would have participated
Alright, let's start with what you are curious about
Let’s start by talking about that
Please show me the question
Shall we take a look at them all?
How many questions did we got?
Huh? How many?
Oh, I heard there were 870 questions
but they narrowed it down to just 15
Number 1
What is something you must eat when you come to Korea?
I think this question was probably asked by a foreign fan
What must you eat when you come to Korea?
First of all, I believe kimchi is a must-have soul food for Koreans
I think it would be a good idea to try dishes based on kimchi
Like kimchi-jjigae or kimchi-jjim
Anyway, dishes like those
Why not try some dishes with kimchi in them?
But kimchi is already such a globally famous dish
Ah, I’ve been craving it since the day before yesterday
Please have some gamjatang before you go
Before the overseas fans return to their respective countries
I highly recommend you have some gamjatang before you go
Second
Wook DJ, who sings many gem-like songs
I’m curious about how you came to know so many songs
Do you listen to all the new songs when they come out?
Or do you find them out by Chan radio during your schedule?
Or is it a playlist built up over time?
It’s all three
When new songs are released, I’m curious and listen to them too
These days, what is it?
When you watch Shorts
you see a lot of them using new songs as background music
Yeah, I naturally pick up on songs that way
but I also always have the radio on when I’m in the car
I don’t connect Bluetooth to play music
I just stick to the radio
It’s..
a great way to discover songs I didn’t know before
So, I learn a lot through the radio
And, of course, it could also be
the database I’ve built up over the years
The third question
I’m curious about how much Dongwook knows about challenges
Haha, they're asking me to do this..
Let's pass
I read it without knowing, I didn't know..
They’re just turning on music
I read it without knowing, I didn't know
Why do you keep doing it one more time?
No, but the APT doesn't have anything to do
Turn on the music
Question 4: What was the most frustrating moment while preparing for the fan meeting?
Now
I didn't know what question number three was
I shouldn't have read that
"Have I ever done this when I'm this old?"
Every moment is like that
Like when I danced to TWS or NewJeans' songs earlier
But if you say you like it
Did you like it?
Pardon?
What's cute about that
The moment I got frustrated?
Rather than a moment when I was frustrated
Preparing for the fan meeting while filming a drama
was a bit overwhelming at the same time
Doing both at the same time is part of the job
so it’s what I’m supposed to do
But switching back and forth
between this and that was a bit tough
But seeing all your faces today
makes me feel it was all worth it
Thank you
Question number 5:
To fans who say they can’t date because their standards got too high watching me
Really? Everyone seems to manage just fine on their own
Well, I think
Maybe you just don't want to date right now
or something like that
I mean, no way it’s because of me, right?
Really?
Just go ahead and date whenever you’re ready
I’ll be cheering for you
Question 6: Your most recent online shopping purchase as of today
Do we have the screen ready for this?
Yes
They asked me
if I’d share it
I sent them a screenshot of my real order
So I got Korea Eundan Gold Plus Vitamins
I got to stay on top of those
And recently, I'm really into Dr. Pepper
But since I’m worried about calories, I went for Dr. Pepper Zero
Oh, and I love Cheon Yeon cider, too
Both Cheon Yeon cider and Dr. Pepper are polarizing drinks
Right?
But I’m into both, so I stock up
and keep them in my fridge
By the way, I use Coupang Rocket WOW
Man, I’m revealing everything, huh?
Alright, please move on to the next screen
Dr. Pepper tastes really good
But it's strangely addictive
Once you try it
you keep wanting more
Do you know when I reach for them?
The day after drinking
I crave something sweet after I drink
but cola feels too basic
So I tried that and it was really good
It is great for quenching thirst
That's why I keep them stocked
Question 7: What should I prepare to marry you?
Just bring yourself
Question 8: Summarize your 20s, 30s, and 40s in one line each
20s...
I worked hard but was clumsy
30s...
I learned things but was still clumsy
40s...
I know things but I'm still clumsy
I think some people here are around my age
and probably understand exactly what I mean
Of course there are teenagers here too, but
in my 20s, I had just debuted
I didn't know much but worked hard at what I was told
Struggled to survive
Worked hard to gain recognition from many people
But I was always clumsy
How do I make the public like me?
How do I make people like me more?
I didn't know about these things
That's how I spent my 20s
In my 30s, I knew a bit more than in my 20s
I’ve learned more about how things work as an actor
the entertainment industry system
and what makes the public like me a little more
But I still couldn't be perfect
So I was always somewhat clumsy
I thought it would be different in my 40s
But it wasn't
What do you mean it wasn't different like you thought?
I mean, I thought I wouldn't be clumsy anymore but I still am
I know more now
And since it's my 25th debut anniversary
even on drama sets now, there aren’t many people younger than me
No, I mean, there aren't many people older than me
Other than a few directors
most are younger, my juniors or colleagues
So, I feel this responsibility to lead and support them well
but it’s not always easy
I get impatient
because I have my own goals and expectations
I push myself to do better
and just keep running forward, but I end up stumbling again
I really don’t know when I’ll stop being so clumsy
But you know, I think I’ll probably be like this forever
I’ve aged, and my body’s grown, but my thoughts and feelings
still feel stuck in my late teens or early 20s
Question 9: A recent small moment of happiness
Rather than small, it was a big moment of happiness
When we just sang together
That moment
looking at you all from here
was such a special moment for me
Honestly, at first
I thought everyone seemed very down and quiet
or skipped their meal
or got tired waiting in line to buy the merch
and stuff like that
but these thoughts disappeared while I was singing a while ago
I appreciate you guys so much and it was a pleasure
The works
The five works I recommend to you in 2025
I dont know, I don't even remember because I've done so much
I have no idea, just watch one when you're free
Number 11: what's your favorite snack when drinking beer?
I like to munch on snacks when I'm drinking beer
Isn't this what people like?
The snacks
Rice crispies?
Oh, which snack?
I was about to say it
Why are you guys so impatient
I love snacks too, but do you guys like snacks?
So, I like to eat snacks
and my most favorite snack is
wait it's not 'most' if I have two favorites
Anywho, I have two favorite snacks
The 'Mu-dduk-dduk' potato chips
and Nugget Fried Snack
They are my favorites
But any snack will do just fine
Oh, right!
I just thought of this but
if I boil down my life in 40s into one sentence
I thought I would never eat snacks
But now that I’m an adult who can buy as many snacks as I want, I end up eating even more
I asked for one from my mom when I was a kid
but today, I can buy
whatever snacks I like, and I can spend hundreds of dollars
I feel like I'm snacking even more now
So, you guys should also be careful to not snack too much
Number 12: which foot do you put your sock first?
I never thought about this before
Do you guys think about this?
Oh, there are people who actually think about this
Is this like a superstition?
like I get to hit a home run if I wear my sock on my left foot first?
I never was conscious about this
but I feel like I wear it on my left foot first generally
From left
But I feel like it depends on the day
Number 13: How you eat jjajangmyeon
I thought you eat Jajangmyeon in a unique way
I want to try eating it with chopsticks
Please teach me some tips
Can I see who asked this question?
Are you here?
Huh? I guess not
That person might be watching it on live
There's no doubt that this question was asked by a foreign fan
I wonder what they meant by my unique way of eating Jajangmyeon
The way I mix it?
Or the way I hold chopsticks?
Oh, myself?
Oh, I thought they meant Koreans in general
have a unique way of eating Jajangmyeon
Oh, myself
I see, I guess they're referencing
On "Game Centers," people found it interesting how I twirled the food around with chopsticks
I did that so the sauce doesn't get to my white shirt
I tend to spill very easily whenever I eat
So, my stylists always
put a bib on me
when I'm eating while I shoot something
because I spill food on my clothes
I was wearing a bib on that day too
but I decided to still wrap the noodles around
because I was in full-white
I see what they're talking about
Alright
Number 1: you tend not to care about compliments while being humble yet care-free
but since you're in this place with people who love you a lot
I want you to tell me why your fans like Lee Dongwook
Please give 3 compliments of yourself
Please be really boastful
Okay
You might know my real side
but I'm not good at this at all
Yeah, right, I'm good-looking
and
I don't stop
Huh?
I make effort to conversate with you guys
This isn't true?
And, what could be the last one
Cold yet warm-hearted
I'm like a cold yet warm-hearted person
You think this is my charm?
Then these will be my three compliments
I cirnge on these kinds of things
But on a serious note, why do you guys like me?
Right, you guys only care about my looks
Thanks to my parents
Number 15, any birthday plans this year and congrats on 25th debut anniversary
I don't really have any plans
Thank you
The question was building up to this
About two to three weeks ago, they asked me this
Are you thinking of doing celebrating a birthday on stage?
I gave them a hard pass on it
It makes my skin crawl
Things like that are so cheesy
Do not force congratulations
In the end, we did it
Thank you
Thank you, thank you
I really appreciate
being born into a beautiful world, getting to meet you all like this
Living a long life
Wow, it says, "Live long and prosper"
Can you see the cake?
I want to show it to you all
It says Wook
Thanks
Why is it so heavy?
This cake is so heavy
I had the party hat on earlier
Alright, take pictures
Thanks
Turn off the music please
I am the birthday boy but why are you guys wishing things
Requesting cheek poke, heart gestures
Thank you
On my birthday, I have a filming schedule
I looked at the shooting schedule and I have my birthday scheduled
So I thought, it’s actually for the better
We have a night scene that day
It looks like I’ll be spending my birthday very productively
Thanks to our drama team
Thank you for being there for me
and making sure I wouldn’t feel lonely
From those questions, I would like to pick the four of you
To give some special gifts
The gifts are from a brand that I'm currently modeling for
Filming a lot of commercials comes in handy at times like this
Tissot, the brand I’m modeling for, has prepared watches as gifts
I will pick four of you, please take the gifts
Has everyone got the bottle of water?
They are also prepare by Tissot
Thank you Tissot
Now, we have to pick four out of these
I was going to choose number three for sure
Number three
Three and
seven
and nine
And for boosting my confidence a little, I’ll go with number 14
Numbers three, seven, nine, fourteen
But everyone’s in here, right?
I didn't see some hands
Numbers three, seven, nine, fourteen, are you all here?
It seems they aren't
They should be here, right?
Okay, I see now
Congratulations to those four people
Alright, they are all here
They have the ticket numbers and all
After the show, please pick up your watches at the ticket booth
As expected, the gifts are ready on the spot
You can wear it on your wrist right after you get it
Let me have a sip
Pardon?
Ah, why is my nose running?
So, we’ve just gone through
the questions NEOHEE had for me
Now it’s time for me to ask questions I’ve been curious about for you
I left several questions to our staff
To my writers and PR team
I still don't know what questions were chosen
I'm really curious
I heard there were so many replies
This time again
Have you seen what questions were there?
Anyway, I hear there were a lot of replies
And I have to pick five of you again
I’ll pick five people
to receive
a Dermafirm skincare set
Thank you, Dermafirm
Alright, give us the first question
(Q. What is the photo on your phone’s wallpaper?)
I was really curious
What photos
What kind of photo is on NEOHEE's phone wallpaper?
Because sometimes, when I go to autograph events
Some people show me their phones
Having my photos
as the background
There's been some people do that
I was really grateful for that
Then, people who actually made time to come to a fan meeting
At least one third
one fourth of them would have my photos as their background
I asked this question out of that kind of curiosity
Do you feel confident about this?
You’re not changing it all of a sudden, aren’t you?
Show me right now
Please, take a listen
Not everything’s is about that
Why are there so many photos of cats?
Are they all your cats?
There’s a family photo
Photo of element symbol
Okay
I heard you sent us these photos in advance
Oh before that
Aren’t you curious about the photo on my phone wallpaper?
Then I’ll show you mine first
This is my wall paper
Here's three Wookdong brothers
You know there is middle-wookdong, not big-dong and original Wookdong
I’m not in the market
That was just a sample
We just made a prototype
to see how it goes
Three of these characters
Characters? People?
Three people?
The image of three friends in a row was so cute, so I took a photo of it
So that’s why
Oh you want me to share it on Bubble?
No, no way
It’s just mine
Did you take a photo with Large-dong outside?
It’s huge, huh?
I want to bring it home
So I set my wall paper with Wookdongs
It’s time to check yours
What kind of photos there would be?
Let me see
What’s no.15?
Can you zoom no.15?
What is it?
Given Softbank and Thursday, I think its a Japanese
Is it worth to be on a wall paper?
Huh?
You couldn’t set it right?
Oh there is no grape
No space
But you came, I’m glad
Congratulations
But why did you set it as a wall paper?
Can you speak Korean?
Why did you put that?
Oh you were curious about the space
To not forget?
Okay
Now close it, and please zoom in no.7
Kakao talk, instagram, webtoon Wookdong
What is Wookdong app?
Baemin, Wavve, Tving, Youtube, Netflix, Disney+
All of them are…
Mahjong solitaire app picture is Wookdong
Can you let me know whose photo is this?
Oh, how did you
I don’t know how to do this thing
How do you know how to make these things?
Oh I see
Do you really use this in real life?
Really?
Who are these 4 people below there?
Huh?
Another actor?
Another actor who?
Who? What’s his name?
I can’t identify it cause it’s too blurry
Ah, Lee Min-ki
Min-ki, I see
Yes, yes, Lee Min-ki
What does people say about this?
Oh nobody knows about it?
Only you know it?
Is there any reason why you set Wookdong for mahjong solitaire?
Cause it’s photo puzzle?
Yes?
Oh cause it’s cute
Okay
I’ve never seen this kind of wall paper in my life
Thank you, you may close it
Let me see no.12
It’s me
How old was I?
Maybe one or two
I asked my mom but she doesn’t remeber this kind of thing well
Cause it’s too old
She’s like, "hey, how am I supposed to remember things that happened 40 years ago?"
I was born so long ago
How is it, cute?
Yes
It’s a colored film, though
At least it’s not black and white
Thank you
Thank you for loving baby Dongwook
Please close
Can I have number 5 on the screen?
This is happy New Year, right?
There will be a good outcome
Close please
There will be a good outcome
Thank you
How is it that all the wallpapers are related to me?
Were they pre-selected?
Should we take a look at one more?
Can I have number 4 on the screen?
Someone had an emergency text
Someone logged into your Google account
Who's this one
You shouldn't have screenshoted and sent it here
Are they here? Who's is this?
Did you get to solve this issue?
Oh, you logged into the account?
Ah, that's a relief for sure
Any reason why you put this picture as a background?
To pretend I'm your boyfriend
If someone asks if you got a boyfriend, you just show them this picture?
What do they say then?
Do they believe it?
Oh shi...
I didn't do that
I didn't say this
Even I was surprised while reading that out loud
Then what do you reply?
They say it's crazy
Thank you anyways
That looks like a boyfriend-like picture?
This is a photo I took while walking back to the hotel
after having a really filling dinner
during the "Tale of the Nine Tailed" shoot in Gwangju
So that's the backstory
Thank you
I have to choose one person amongst here to give out a gift
I would have to give out to number 7 for sure
Number 7
I also love Lee Min-ki
So number 7 it is
and number 15 too
Number 15
Seeing how you’ve kept it so well as your wallpaper
No, no
I have to pick only two people from here
There's a procedure
I will take lots of selfies and share them
so please use them as your wallpaper
I wonder if there's any actor out there requesting for this
So, do whatever suits you
Okay, the second question
The second question is
what's your favorite gif of Lee Dongwook?
This...
Okay, let's look at them first
Your favorite of me
you guys know what I mean right?
Please show them
Okay, put up number 12
Number 12
Number 12 please
Who's that?
Who was it?
Why is this your favorite picture?
Sorry?
It's cute?
Thank you
What am I doing there?
Ah, Daebak gave me a ssam but it was spicy
Right, right
That's crazy
Daebak grew so much
I heard he plays football nowadays
Okay, thank you
please put it down
Number 3 please, number 3
I'm even doing this on stage now
Why is this your favorite picture?
Because you haven't seen me doing this before
Not usual
Okay
You like me wiping my nose
Alright
Put it down please
Right, number 17
I miss that era
I don't have that body anymore
I miss it
I'm not stripping
Okay, put it down please
Number 6 please, number 6
This was taken at a signing event
and my PR team showed me this photo
saying they took this well
Is the person who took this picture here today?
Here she is
Thank you
You're good at taking pictures
What did you think when you first saw this hair color?
Did the style suit me well?
Since the pictures are out there
I guess I can talk about it now
The reason I bleached my hair was
because at the fan meeting
I mean at the signing event
I wanted to surprise you all with the new look
But actually there was another reason
I had to cut my hair really short for a drama shoot
Because of a new role in "The Good Man"
The character Seok-cheol has very short hair
I had to cut them short anyways
So I decided to go all out and that's what happened
I agonized over it a lot
Because I was afraid of making a fool of myself
I really suffered before making that decision
Still, surprisingly, many of you liked it
That gave me courage to keep the hair
I went to the promotional event for "A Shop for Killers"
And went out on Amazing Saturday
I don't think I will be able to pull that off ever again
No, no
I mean I will continue acting
And there aren't many roles that look like that
It doesn't work like that
I am not the one making the calls
Someone has to cast me
Alright, thanks anyways
Put it down please
Let's pull up number 15
I won't explain much
The Hot Bar(An instant food in Korea) Trio
The timeline is
The right one is the oldest
The left side represents more recent times
Alright, thanks
Put it down, please
What is that?
Number ten?
Seven?
Twenty, twenty twenty
When you blow on a dandelion in spring, the seeds fly away
I just wanted to do that
and take a picture
Imagining a picture of me blowing on it
and seeds flying away
But the wind came toward me
Blowing the seeds in my face
That's the behind story of that picture
However
I can't make up a story like that and I uploaded honestly
Did I do a good job?
Alright
Please take it down
Now this time
Let's see number twelve
I pick number twelve
Thank you
One more?
Writers, do I pick one more?
Alright, they want me to pick another
I'll go with the number six then
We need one that's well taken
Thank you for taking this picture of me
Thank you
The last but not the least
Let's take the last question
Here in the script, it says, for the last question
The person thought about it a lot
And they felt like there wouldn't be
another chance to ask
What would it be?
Show me the third question
(Q. When do you think Dongwook was the cutest?)
Awe come on
No one asked such thing
I am deadly serious
All of this was just added by the writers and the PR team
I being fully serious
Live
No one asked this, I am clean as a bar of soap
Seriously
Now? Thanks
Show me the picture
Number seven is just Wookdong the character itself lol
Pull up seven please
This is just not me
It's just cute Wookdong
Do you just consider it as me?
Thank you
Aren't we really look alike?
am always grateful to the designer of Wookdong
It really looks like me
Thanks
Huh?
Number twelve?
It was something I used to do to Hongjoo
When I took that, I wasn’t really close with Hongjoo yet
This is the early part of the content, right?
So, I had to do something like that, and it was so embarrassing
There were so many NGs, but the director just wouldn’t call cut
I wished he would just call cut quickly
So, it was a bit of an embarrassing experience
Looking at these photos from "Tale of the Nine Tailed," I realize it’s quite different from how I look now
I looked younger
Please close it
Please space out number 5 once
(Ca…ca…candy is delicious…)
As those who know me will understand, this is my confession of feelings
It’s too big
I sometimes feel that way
I was having so much fun on Bubble
It was so cute
And I was also really frustrated
We tease each other when we’re on Bubble
It’s just so much fun
And then, there’s this feeling of overwhelming excitement
You guys are just so cute and great
Sa…
This is how I just send it
I’m too shy to say that word
But I’d appreciate it if you could understand with that heart
Please close it
I would appreciate it if you could close it
What is number 9?
Ryu Soo Yeol?
It’s cute
Even I think this is cute
But how did you end up with such a low-quality capture?
It must be because it was taken so quickly
Because it was a fleeting moment
All right, thank you
Please close it
Please raise number 8 just once
(Bzzzz..…)
Doesn’t it look so much like Wookdong?
When was this taken, though?
Was it when I was going to Paris or to the Olympics?
Uh?
Vietnam?
No, this was when I was going to Vietnam
It wasn’t when I was going to Vietnam
Ah, right
I think it was when I was going to the Paris Olympics
I was looking at it like this when I went to the Olympics
I was watching a table tennis match
I was getting so many messages
What is it? I was so surprised when I looked
I kept appearing on the broadcast
When they held the Major League game at Gocheok before
Back then, during the broadcast, both Gong Yoo and I kept getting caught on camera
So later on
Director Kang Shin-hyo from "Tale of the Nine-Tailed"
“Hey, I think you should get appearance fees for that!”
He said, “You’re on screen so much”
I have that memory
Please go ahead
So, what should we focus on here?
Shall we pick one?
From here
I’ll pick number 5
Number 5
Since it’s a message with my feelings, I’ll go with number 5
I’ve picked all five so far
The five of you, please stop by the ticket booth on your way
and receive cosmetics as a gift, and apply them directly to your face
We’ll give a cosmetics set to these five people
And it would be a shame if the rest of you just left empty-handed
We’ll give each of you a cosmetic item as you leave
Thank you, Dermafirm!
So, why didn’t you just come instead of watching the live stream?
Then you could’ve gotten some cosmetics too
And you could’ve gotten a suitcase too
And a watch as well
I hope you continue to watch closely
Thank you
Through Curious Story WOOK
I think I’ve gotten a bit closer to all of you
And I’m glad that some of the things I was curious about have been resolved
The wallpaper was also very unique
I got to know which memes and scenes you all like
That was also really great
I think this is why communication is so important
For those who are married, when you go back home today
I hope you have many conversations
And I hope you also have more conversations with your parents
Last night, around 10:30 PM, I got a call from my mom
But do you know what happened?
People who live alone
When parents call after around 9 PM
It gives you a sudden uneasy feeling, right?
You know what I mean?
When I got the call at 10:30 PM
My mom is someone who never calls that late
She usually calls before 6 PM at the latest
I was so surprised, thinking, “What’s going on?”
I went to the country-side for shooting yesterday and got home late at night tired
and I took a shower and laid on my sofa
and got a surprising call from my mom and I took the call
My mom said
tomorrow's an important day
I'm serious
And I said, "right, I'm doing a fan-meeting tomorrow"
and she told me to do well
and I was like, "why did you call me at this hour..."
"you could've done it earlier"
because I was so worried
My dad took her phone
and repeated the same thing she said eight times
I checked the call time after the call
which was 6 minutes and 14 seconds
but they spent 5 minutes and 10 seconds repeating the same thing eight times
I was like "alright, dad"
"I know"
"Right"
"You think I'm stupid?"
So I ended the call like that
I want you guys to call your parents as much as you can
and don't get into a fight with your siblings
May your life be happy
Anywho, I passed this mission
Mission Succeeded!
Thank you
Okay, the last puzzle is in
I got my missing face back then
All thanks to you guys
The original fan meeting poster had no face
but the new poster has been completed thanks to you all
Thank you
Ah, right
And, we can go back to 2024
Thank you guys
You guys did it
Right
So, I will be in 2024
and I hope you guys be there as well
Okay?
(Curious story WOOK) Thank you
All credits to you all
Thank you
Love you
I recently recruited my very first fan club
and did a fan meeting in five years
It gave me some time more than ever
for me to reflect on my fans
So, I'm here to talk about that stuff
When you guys first think of me
it's just me, one person
But when I think of you guys
it's a random group of people
Just a group
but this one felt different from that
(Here to talk candidly about 'NEOHEE') I'm here to tell you everything about this thing
So, I aksed what the first question is
and it asked, the specific image when I think of 'NEOHEE'
The specific image is
or my work
whenever I'm seeing my fans...
and mood on them
I think about that the most
I don't get to see them often
but for instance
the faces they made for me
on my stage-greeting or last year's signing even
that get into my head a lot
(When do you feel most appreciative?)
I feel like...
when I can feel when they care about me
I feel most appreciatve during those times
Like when the drama I was in first airs
or the movie opens
I'm on the side to promote my works
so I do those things
but my fans as well
promote my works
as well as prmote me, the person
and... I feel like we're in this together
I feel very thankful those times
When I'm so down and tired
and wonder
why I'm doing this
and I just want to rest
but I regain my strength when I think my fans are going to love
my works
I know they know this
but I always say this
To be honest...
The job I have
is nothing without viewers or fans
My job is pointless without them
And I'm very thankful
they're keep supporting me
and loving me
And I'm able to push through because of these too
When I was exhausted and totally spent
I hold up my head thinking those things
(A question to 'NEOHEE') when you watch my VLOG, Bubble
I think about their faces with certain emotion, thoughts
I wonder
if you watch it alone, with others, or catch the live broadcast
Do you watch movie at theater or home
Do you watch movie at theater or at home
Anyway, things like this
Supposing fan not as a group of people but as a man, what do you want to do together?
A man?
Going to an amusement park?
It just popped into my head
At the amusement park
I can't do scary rides
So you...
go ahead and ride alone..
I make you ride alone.. LOL
Make you ride scary rides alone
and have some tasty things
It also feels good to be at amusement park!
So, going to the amusement park will be fun
Like this fan meeting mood
what will fan be like if Lee Dongwook disappears?
They'd probably just wait patiently
thinking I'll come back on my own
Because, well...
'Where could he possibly go?'
maybe waiting with this thought?
Yeah..
And what if fans disappear conversely?
Umm..
This is pretty.. umm....
This is extremely sad, I think
Fans who came to my 20th debut anniversary fan meeting
coming again for the 25th
is really grateful thing
And I'm thankful for the new fans
who've joined along the way and comes
But, if those fans all fade away...
it will hurt my heart so badly
Therefore, if there is no big problem
Just keep...
support and watch over me, please
(Is there anything changed in relationship with fans?)
Changed thing?
What’s changed? I guess I’ve gotten more comfortable
Because I made my debut when I was really young
Of course, I had some younger fans than me
but, there was a time when I had a lot of older fans
Time has passed
so, the time with my fans has also passed
And as I got older
we are really comfortable for being each other
(Then what has not changed?)
Like now, no more but no less
We were not that friendly from the beginning
However, like this
saying "Oh, well.. yeah"
and to understand each other a lot
I like those relational interaction
(How do you want to be together with 'NEOHEE' in the future?) What I want to do is
I just hope we can keep things the way they are now
Just like now, nothing more, nothing less
(2024 Lee Dongwook official fan club name announcement) NEOHEE
(September 12, 2024 – the day 'NEOHEE' began) It feels like the most heartfelt way Dongwook calls us
(Out of I'M WOOK, the 20th-anniversary fan meeting) Hi, guys
(Looking back, 'NEOHEE' has always been by my side) Hi, I'm Lee Dongwook, who gets excited by meeting NEOHEE
(2020 Lee Dongwook Christmas Live photo) (To. NEOHEEs I love you always, thank you, and we forever. Love you!)
(2024 Lee Dongwook's season greeting 'For you who I love and for me, again)
(Out of unboxing of 2023 Lee Dongwook's season greeting) This is all
my loving heart for you
(Thinking of the future with 'NEOHEE')
(Out of I'M WOOK, the 20th anniversary fan meeting) I wanted to make you happy
but I got more happiness because of you
Thank you for being with me
(Out of 2020 Lee Dongwook's Christmas live) I would have never done like this for 20 years without you
Thank you
(2024 Lee Dongwook official fan club name announcement) Hi, NEOHEEs
Tell one last thing to 'NEOHEE'
Thank you for being with me
I'm always thankful to you for being at my side
I'm going to
keep up with my work as I always did
So, keep watching and support me
Be healthy
and I hope peace be with your family
Thank you
This lyric is really good
So I chose this song, but the lyric is too similar to memorize
I'm sorry
I got a frog in my throat
Hosting by myself for about two hours
my throat always being like this at the last moment
I moved a step closer to see your reaction
Watching you closer like this is much better
I am sorry for the second floor
I can't run up stairs to there
because I'm not a real nine-tailed fox
Sorry
We live such busy lives day by day
sometimes it gets tough and tiring
But you know how it is
How can anyone be happy all day long
waking up saying "Wow, I'm so happy today"
and until falling asleep
saying "Today was such a happy day"
says like that are really rare, right?
We're often tired, exhausted, pushed around by others
and get hurt a lot
So that's why I chose this song
to help us get through together when thinking of each other
I hope you listen to this song and think of me
and that it gives you strength in your daily life
Though we just saw the heartfelt interview
everything I say is always sincere
So, I hope you'll keep that in your hearts
Not just fan meetings
but meeting you through my work
and feeling your reactions
gives me great strength
And I think that's my everything
that's what drives me forward
I hope we continue to be strength for each other
Thank you
Missing FINDING WOOK
It's been 2 hours and 25 minutes since we started
Our prepared time has come to an end
Even if I wanted to continue, my voice is like this now...
Thanks to you all, we've safely returned..
Until when do I have to do this?
from 1999 to 2024
Now that everyone's back safely
I'm just so happy about that
We usually take a group photo at the end, right?
But do you want to take pictures?
Well, originally I would say
"Let's end with taking a group photo together"
that's what I would say
It felt too standardized
So I told our staff
that I'd ask the fans
I said I'd ask if you want to take photos
And if you say no, we won't
I actually thought most of you would say no
Wait, you don’t like being on camera, and why...?
Alright then, let's take pictures
After all, these become memories
and photos are what remain, right?
Yes, thank you
The photo...
Where should I stand?
Is it okay if I stay here, like this?
Thank you
You know this heart gesture?
The one Eminem did
"I will break you head into half"
But mine was a real big heart
Thank you
This was my 25th anniversary fan meeting since debut
Since I debuted in '99 and now it's 2024
It's really been exactly 25 years
Now in my 26th year
Thanks to being in my 26th year
We used time travel as an excuse
to look back and reminisce about the past
While preparing for this fan meeting
and creating these segments
I realized that from my debut in '99 until now
our fans have always been by my side
I'm so grateful for that
and I realized what a happy life this has been
If someone asks what I want to do if I were born again
I'd want to be an actor again
I want to be an actor and meet all of you again
I hope you'll continue to support me
And today, like this, being able to
spend over two hours talking and laughing together was wonderful
And thank you to all the fans watching the live stream
Make some noise!
No, no, people on the live stream
Livestream fans, make some noise!
No, the livestream...
Staying quiet all this time and now suddenly trying to yell
It's tough, right?
Thank you to everyone watching the livestream
Thank you
What's that?
The writer suddenly says
to ask if you have any last words for me before we wrap up
Ah yes, thank you
I love... you, too
Thank you
As I always say, health is the most important
We can only meet often if you stay healthy, right?
So take good care of your health
Don't get sick, work out
Get regular check-ups
Eat lots of delicious foods
And maybe change your phone wallpaper...
Please care about it more
Thank you, it's done
I can't give my word on when to hold a fan meeting
I feel exhausted whenever I have a fan meeting
Why you keep saying "don't give up," or "you can do it"
Let's say goodbye
Thank you
Get home safe
Eat delicious food
If there's something we didn't talk about
Let's talk about that on Bubble today or maybe tomorrow
Thank you
Bye
Thank you
Get home safe
Thanks
What did fans say about this concept?
After they heard I was gone
They must have ignored that
I mean they weren't worried about me
(Some were) They are not the kind of people who gets worried
But the articles were...
Some titles of the articles...
was as if I were missing...
Like "Unanswered Questions"...
Some sounded like an episode of "Unanswered Questions"...
Yeah..
I knew that
They are not the kind of people who try to find me if I were missing
Did you hear from them?
No one contacted me
I got a call from 3 people
People around me don't know that I held a fan meeting
You know why?
For me, this is like
something to keep as a secret
You asked me about who to invite
Do you want to invite someone?
Nope, not a single one
If some of my friends sat there
(What?)
(NEVER) No one
If.. I... notice them
when I am on the stage during a fan meeting
I would say "sorry, but please leave"
I hate that kind of situation
Like my friends being there
I don't understand why my friends watch my fan meeting
Because we can see at other places
(Chance that one of your friend is your fan) That's what I don't like
(Friends: I am your fan...)
It's embarrassing
They are not my fan...
People around me don't know about my fan meeting
So whether I'm missing or not
they didn't care
(Somewhat bitter...) That's it
Yes....
(We came here to put some posters after content shooting)
What's the point of doing it?
People don't care about it
At least they need to pretend to find him if someone is missing
They need to respond saying "What happened to him?"
But I am putting a flyer on the wall about myself
What's wrong with this?
Why do I need to find myself?
Do you know the song?
Lee Seung-hwan's 'Even If I Write a Poem with Tears'?
I have lots of things to say to my fans
The last part of the song goes
"A letter torn apart from too many stories"
"Do you know the meaning"
I have lots of things to say
I can't ask about that because there are so many stories
Why am I the only one to put the flyers? You guys need to put them on the wall, too
(Back to the reality..)
Why just me...
Why am I looking for myself...
And what's the point of putting this on the wall in the parking lot owned by my agency?
Let's put it outsid...
Like in Gangnam station
Sorry?
Do you agree or not?
(It's illegal..lol)
Yeah....
It's not appropriate to put flyers on the wall....lol
Am I doing something illegal because of yo...
(It's okay becasue it's our company property)
(What are you doing...)
Probably the jenitor will tell you off about this
(Aims boss's car) There must have been my boss's car
I wanted to put it on his car but he left
I thought there was his car
(Tall enough to do this..)
Last but not least, Wookdong
(It's me)
(Actor Lee Dongwook's 25th debut anniversary fan meeting The live broadcast has ended. Thank you for watching.)
