Overseas fans surprise Lee Junki with good-luck cranes
by javabeans
This is sweet (and yay for overseas fans, yet again): in anticipation of Hero‘s broadcast premiere tomorrow, overseas fans have shown their support for lead actor Lee Junki in the form of 30,000 origami cranes.
The fan gifts arrived on November 17 at Hero‘s Seoul filming location in a truckload containing fifteen boxes. Lee Junki had been taking a brief break from filming at the time of arrival, and hearing that they’d come from his overseas fans, he opened the boxes himself to confirm the sight.
Lee said, “I was so surprised and thankful. I want to hang them all up at home. The fans act without being bound to nationality and it seems like they have the ability to always surprise me. This time, I received a gift I couldn’t have even imagined receiving. Thinking of how long it must have taken them to fold all of this makes me even more moved.”

I am so torn! I love Lee Junki but I also love You're Beautiful and Jang Geun Suk. I want Hero to do well, but not if it affects YB's ratings.
The 30 thousand cranes are pretty impressive...especially the way the colours were strung together. Lovely gift from their hearts.

What an impressive, gorgeous and thoughtful gift. Kudos to those overseas fans, and to see Junki so genuinely happy and moved in those pictures makes me happy for everyone involved. Go Junki and Hero!

awww.... i love how he was so happy to receive them. here in the states, the boxes would get destroyed among the myriad of bomb detectors, poison detectors, drug dogs, etc.
man...asian fan clubs are so freaking organized.

Wow, those are so pretty! Pardon me for my ignorance, but where are good luck cranes from? Is it a Korean or Japanese tradition, or is it practiced elsewhere in Asia?
Good luck to Hero and LJK, as it won't matter what I watch as I won't be affecting their ratings, but I will catch both YAB and Hero when they are available subbed online!
Best wishes to both!

Whoa so much.., I love Junkie but dont get me wrong. Are you guys sure those are from fans? Which country arrived from? Hmmm so weird. Well! this is very naughty thoughts. To all Junkie fans, dont kill me ok... What in my mind was, his management must have bought those and get someone from that country shipped to Seoul for Promotion Gig. Media frenzy... :) :) Ha ha ha... dont hate me I'm just talking sense here. Korean can be really weird The Actor and Actress did so many promotional gig just to please media. Anyway I love Junkie. Especially when he play serious, nice and gentlemen like Dogs and Wars but I hate when he play joker... He is too cute to play joker. He was really cute on My Girl. Yay - LinaOguri

I love his face... he definitely looks super excited about them keke. In regards to competition with YB (which I've become a total addict) I think we should give the last two weeks to YB and then switch over to HERO. PLUS... lee jun ki pretty much got his fame from my girl... another hong sisters series (i think he'd totally understand :-P)

Wow! Just read from Naver that it's actually 220,000 cranes, and not 30,000. Wonder how long it took his fans to fold them? His fans are really amazing! Definitely going to watch HERO which looks like it's going to be lots of fun!

I hate when people put Koreans in a box. I really wish people would stop generalizing Koreans as a race. All humans are messed up. Not just Koreans.
Okay, stepping off my soapbox now: LJK looks adorable here. All the best for Hero :)
