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.”

yay for lee junki
cute!
He’s such a cutie. Def watching his drama <3
he looks so genuinely excited….its so cute! i hope his drama turns out well!
Look at his face! Haha. He seems happy (:
I’m gonna watch his drama to support him and of course if it’s good then that’s a plus.
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.
God, Lee Junki is so cute….
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.
LOL! He looks like a cute little chubby boy. Lol. ahaha! Such pinchable cheeks I swear! Lol.
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!
he looks genuinely happy to get those!
Awww how nice of them!
OMO surprise!!!!!!
surely his face tells us everyting!!!hehehehe…….
fighting HERO!!
He’s sooooo adorkable!!! gosh I love him!!! kekeke. you fans rock!
wow… fans these days are very active
i loved lee jun ki in iljimae and i am looking forward to watching his new drama… ^^ (but YAB will always get the number 1 spot in my heart ^.^)
this is why i adore lee junki :]
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 wish i can also send my good luck and congratulations message to him… hope to see him in person….still happy for Lee junki on this next project…. hope this ends well…. going to follow this HERO till the end…
Wow, that is just amazing! It looks like he’s genuinely happy, and that means that the fans must be as well.
ooohhh…..love the colors!!! sooo thoughtful…. it would be a very nice thank you gesture if the staff will hang those somewhere and take pictures with LJK….. photoshoot!!!
aahhhh….hottie lee jun ki….*sigh*
LOL those are cranes? i can’t tell. i suppose that’s how they look if you stack hundreds on top of each other?
a couple friends and i did something similar for one of my math teachers in HS. but it was only 1000 LOL
Aww, that is so sweet. That’s so nice of the fans; imagine how much better he feels, after all those problems with Hero.
@ LinaOguri This gift are from his japanese fans…i was quite angry when i read your comment. ^^” but it’s ok… anybody can think like that but his fans really did it for him.
it looks like a fan thing! origami canes is a bit too random for a publicity stunt…..
Wow amazing fans!!! He needs a big house for those origamis!!!! Will definitely check out Hero!
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
)
see this.. it’s his fan’s blog ^^ where they collect the origami

he looks so cute! now i’m tempted to watch hero just for him again. ^_^ but i think i’ll have to watch on the internet until you’re beautiful is over because that drama has got me hooked
I’m really thankful for such enthusiastic fans who help to make us more prominent in the kentertainment scene.
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!
good luck lee jun ki…
i miss u iljamae hehehehehe
how do you make paper cranes?
wow thats so cool looking
he looks so happy! his smile makes me smile!
He looks so happy<3 omg so cuteee, like a little boy (his cheeks are really pinchable!)
Kudos to his japanese fans~ such a nice present ^^
wow,, great fans and i like the gift
he look so happy i am going to see the drama
He is so adorable here. I love how he is just ecstatic being surprised by overseas fans.
Go overseas fans! That must have take a lot of time and I love that they sent a handmade gift.
what is one meant to do with 15 boxes of cranes.. ahah~
I think the buffet’s are more useful.. at least it fills the stomach..
Awww that’s so sweet
I’m happy for him. I hope Hero does good
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
holy jesus that is a LOT!
wow, Lee Junki is such a lucky guy to have such a fan base , it must have touch his heart ( i think he must be crying inside and moved by their act ).
LOVE YOU JUN KI!!
haha, he’s like a little kid opening up xmas presents!! it’s adorable!!
i have never seen any of lee jun kis work..but man those cranes..truck load of them! he must be doing something right..to be that popular..!! im thinking about watching il ji mae since you gave it a really good rating..
unsuprising that he’s feeling loved… haha… gd luck to him, but from the trailers, i’m not sure that i’m going to watch hero
he is always so kind and never forgets to thank his fans.
he looks so happy.
I really like Hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Funny and with a moral lesson…
