What is it about the actor that has made him such a fan favorite? Yes, he’s handsome. Then again, so are most stars of K-Dramas.
What it boils down to is that Lee has that elusive It factor. He’s charismatic, charming and can laugh at himself. In this video that tutti frutti shared on YouTube, Lee is positively adorkable as he dances along to PSY’s “New Face” and shows us what he’s got. He may have briefly trained with SM Entertainment before committing to his acting career, but no one is more aware than Lee himself that his dancing doesn’t compare to the pros behind him. He looks shy and embarrassed during the pivotal hip thrusts, which just make this performance that much more enjoyable to watch.
No one is immune to his charms. Being in Lee’s presence makes even celebrities weak in the knees. Filipina actress Giselle Sanchez hosted Lee’s fan meeting at the 16,500-seat Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila. She said jokingly (or not!) that when he hugged her, she forgot everything that she had so carefully memorized.
He’s known for being thoughtful to his fellow cast members. His “While You Were Sleeping” co-star Bae Suzy said that he always looked out for her.
Lee is loyal. He’s been friends with Lee Sung Kyung (who, like himself, is a former model) for the past dozen years. So when she filmed her leading role in “Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-Joo,” of course he made a much-talked about cameo appearance. The meta moment wasn’t lost on his fans, who saw that his segment cleverly alluded to his starring role as a manhwa character in “W.”
