This is a very special fan account from a Japanese husband:
A Report on the Reading of a Love Letter That Touched Lee Seung Gi’s Heart
About a week before Lee Seung Gi’s birthday, Hook launched a project to collect love letters written to touch Lee Seung Gi’s heart. After discussing with my wife, we decided to participate in this project. So, we mailed a letter written in Japanese and attached a google-translated Korean version to the organizers.
This letter finally won us a chance to personally read the letter to Lee Seung Gi on the stage at the birthday party. (Subsequently, we also received a request from Hook to write the letter on peppermint-green paper and hand it to Seung Gi directly after reading it to him.)
On that day, when we read the letter on stage, the interpreters facilitated the process by translating what we said in Korean and Japanese. And this time, when I saw Seung Gi again, he still looked very tall to me. Last year, when I shook his hand at the Taiwan fan meeting, I already felt that he was very tall. And on this occasion, I spent an even longer time with him and this feeling was even stronger.
Last July, at the Heritory fan-signing, I thought his make-up was a bit heavy. This time, he looked more natural. I also got a chance to see more clearly, the sparkling design on the left sleeve of his jacket (although I still could not make out what it is. Do I need reading glasses? ) As I was reading, he talked to me in Japanese.
Me: I went to the fan meetings in Asia and the fan-signing.
SG: It’s amazing that you come so far for them.
Me: Telling my wife what I saw on my Seung Gi trips was the best gift for her.
SG: Is that right? (Smile)
(I guess that was the smile that makes everyone faint.)
Me: Talking about Seung Gi over dinner makes the food more delicious.
SG: Really?
Me: Really! Usually, frozen food. (It’s true, because our meals mainly consist of frozen food)
SG: Hahaha.
Me: And thank you for giving us hope.
SG: (Very politely) And thank you to you too.
Me: (I asked for a handshake)
SG: (Shook hands with me)
So, I finished this very important mission. My impression of Seung Gi was that he kept bowing to his fans to show his gratitude and appreciation. He is a very humble and mature person. When I received the photos of the birthday party from the Korean fans, I could feel this star glowing even brighter, even though I was only looking at his back.
Note: Someone in Baidu Tieba wrote that they met this guy in Taiwan. He was doing this to cheer up his wife who was sick. Another touching story.

I wish every husband whose wife is SG’s fan to be like this, Mr Japan. His support, love, understanding, etc for his wife and SG are so encouraging. He really moved me.
Wow! I’m impressed! What a wonderful husband to bring first hand news of Seunggi to his sick wife. That’s love.
Seunggi must be moved to have such a fan. He must have inspired both of them too. Imagine talking abt Seunggi over their meals! So cute!
Is there a way for the rest of us to read the love letter, Tryp?
I know right. Such a nice gentleman, and he’s gone to all those events! In fact I think he is a big fanboy himself.
To AY and Tryp, thank you so much for bringing us this lovely tribute!
This is a touching story between the fan boy, fan girl and Seung Gi! Very beautiful people. Thanks for the fan account, hanrize, nanako210, AY and Tryp.
