Lee Seon-kyun (Petty Romance, Pasta) poses in a spread for Esquire that can only be described as The Voice Meets The Manpurse. Gotta love a man who’s not scared to accessorize, or carry a big purse. He’s also got a movie hitting theaters in May, just in time to cure my Lee-Seon-kyun syndrome.
Not that it’s really an ailment I want to be cured of.
He’s starring in the action comedy Arrest King [체포왕] opposite Park Joong-hoon (Haeundae), in a battle of wills…not between cop and criminal, but between cop and cop. They play two detectives in a competitive precinct, where the list of wanted felons each has a point value attached. (For instance, car thief 50 points, murderer 100 points?)
That’s just…sick, and totally rife with comedy potential. It’s made doubly so by the two lead detectives, battling it out to become the titular ‘King of Arrests.’ Get ready for petty, hilarious hijinx as they literally steal criminals from each other to get the credit, turning their very mundane workplace into a war zone. It’s going to be like watching two boys try to one-up each other with pranks, except with murderers and thieves in tow…which is already making me laugh at the thought.
Also starring are Kim Jung-tae (Sign) and Lee Sung-min, who most recently played the President in My Princess, and also played the restaurant manager in Pasta, alongside Lee Seon-kyun.
Arrest King hits theaters in May. Sounds like a good time.

oh how i love lsk.. delicious
Hmm. Never liked him in Coffee Prince.
But your Lee Seon-Kyun addiction is catching. Now I love him, man-purse, chep, and petty criminal catching all.
i first notice him in coffee prince love him in pasta
love him.
especially love the 3rd picture!
He’s looking mighty dapper there, isn’t he!
Someone loves their Coach bags, though.
I think he looks hot. My guy says he’ll carry a purse too (for money) but he won’t wear those awful boots in the 4th picture. I love cop movie comedies, especially if they carry purses.
Agreed on those boots!
…hmm i loved those bags…and for a change a man modeling for woman’s apparel.
I hope they’re women’s apparel, too. One can never be too sure when it comes to… manpurses. Murses. Whatever.
…ah ok i got it….lol but so cute to be man’s bag…murses? whatever!
I think the first two dark murses he pulls off well, but the last two pics? Looks like he’s just holding it for some gal while he waits for her to get out of the bathroom. But that’s sexy too, so…
Murses! Ha!
You know…if anybody can manage to make a murse look masculine, it’s Lee Seon Kyun…and I really like the one in the first picture. Wise choice, Coach. Very wise choice.
I mean…think about it. What if that was Jang Geun Seok trying to model those? It would be so confusing!
Scene in Coach store:
Me: “Hey, look at that pretty girl with the purse!”
Coach rep: “That’s not a purse, it’s a men’s bag.”
Me: “Oh. Why is a girl carrying a murse?”
Coach rep: “That’s not a girl.”
Me: “You’re lying.”
Coach rep: “No…seriously…it’s not a girl.”
Me: “But look at those wavy, long locks of hair…and those shining eyes and pouty lips! It has to be a girl! Which means that’s a purse.”
Coach rep: “Ma’am, I know what it looks like. But that is a man…and he is carrying a men’s bag.”
Me: “Hmmph. I’m leaving. I don’t shop in stores where the workers are liars.”
Coach rep: *sigh* (mutters) How many times today am I going to go through this?
LOLOLOL
*like*
major LOL..
oh goodness LOOOL
v. funneeeeeee!
Wahhh! Too funny!
ROTFL!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Wonderful scenario! Love it!
i was just scrolling down & only begun reading from ‘scene in coach store’ . i thought that ‘guy’ with wavy long locks of hair must be Jang Geun Seok..& yup i scrolled up..its Jang Geun Seok!!!
LOL! ^-^
Ba Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your humor!
Oh that was funnny!!
I said it before and I’ll say it again: The face, the voice, the talent, the major cool that just pours off him in waves…. He’s awesome. The full package!
Love him.
the full package…carrying a man-purse. sa-weet!
Amen
.
I always have a thing to man with purses. Straight or gay. Dunno why.
I particularly like the first one, the pose and the bag. Something I would buy for my self.
I’m so with you on this!
I really don’t see what is funny about a man with a gorgeous bag.
Maybe it’s cultural but being from Montréal, I don’t know any men-without-bags (from my dad to my best friend). Most shops don’t even have separate bags for men and women.
This said, I hadn’t realised the full extent of girlfriday’s
crush on LSK – she’s got it baaaad!
loving the bags… but I do like lee seon kyun.
Oh man that last picture is awesome. I can’t wait for the movie. A good laugh cures many ailments, boredom and school included (yes, school is an ailment). XD
Man? Love!
Purse? Love!
Man Purse? Notsomuch.
And, really, if I didn’t have to carry a purse, I wouldn’t!
Are these just really expensive gym bags?
Where does he put it when he is at the urinal?
And by it, YY, I mean whatver you want it to mean.
Oh how I adore LSK *sigh*
I think LSK is a very talented actor. I look forward to seeing him in his new role!
I love this man!…he’s so nice ..its sexy
I just wanna hear him speak and im weak at the knees. My gosh, I love him. Movie sounds fun, I wish I could watch it when it came out though.
if it was anyone but him. i would be like a big purse hahahaha
love a man who aint afraid to carry a Murse!
Lee Sung-min was also in Gloria, as the emcee of the “Back in Memory” night kuh’lub. His character provided comic relief. The guy is such a versatile actor! It sounds like a great movie and hilarious premise.
Love him…hate him with such a big ummmm…purse?
These can’t be for men…no right? I want them all.
Ooooh… Lee Seon-kyun and Park Joong-hoon acting together, and fighting, too, no less! It sounds potentially awesome, and I have faith in Park Joong-hoon that it won’t reek (I hope).
I thought I’d never see the day where I get to see a guy accessorize w/ a Coach manbag.
Superdad is working hard for his 2nd kid’s Yale’s preschool tuition. Pahehe~ The 1st kid is going to Harvard’s preschool, right? Or is it MIT preschool? ^ , ^”
I’ve only seen LSK in 2 things, “Coffee Prince” and “Triple”; he did a pretty good job of acting in both but his character in “Triple” was pretty much a waste (well, one could say that about all the characters in Triple).
Not exactly what one would call a handsome guy, but he has his charms (starting w/ his voice).
As for the whole “man-bag”/”man-purse” thing, there are certain type of bags that a guy can get away with – such as a sleek messenger-type bag, a ”soft” briefcase like bag or am overnite travel bag.
Otoh, a tote-style bag?
No, let’s leave that for the ladies.
he’s so indy
what’s up with the bags? They look too girly for him to be holding. If you took the bags away the pictures would be so hot.
My fave k-drama actor! He’s the only guy I’ve seen who looks cute carrying a purse.
Those aren’t man-purses… those are just strait up PURSES. And the Metro-man claims another victim… Et tu, LSK? Lucky for him I’m already so madly in love with him that nothing short of going full on JGS Cross-Dresser could cool my passion.
Be still my heart. Le sigh. I love LSG. He’s an amazing actor and (seems to be) a beautiful person!
Ok confession: I thought murses looked stupid until I saw these pictures.
