==Biography==
Lee Joon-Gi was born on April 17th, 1982 in [[Busan]], South Korea. His immediate family consists of his parents and one younger sister. While growing up, Joon-Gi was a fairly normal kid who enjoyed sports & computers. He first became interested in the performing arts as a high school student after watching a play of “Hamlet.”[http://asianwiki.com/Joon-Gi_Lee#References] Lee Joon-Gi initially failed to get into college and, because of this, he moved to Seoul with almost nothing, but a dream to work in the entertainment field. For the next couple of years, Joon-Gi worked at various part time jobs, before gaining acceptance into the [[Seoul Institute of the Arts]].

In 2001, Lee Joon-Gi made his debut as a model for fashion brand So Basic, appearing alongside actress [[Hee-seon Kim]].[http://asianwiki.com/Joon-Gi_Lee#References] He would go on to appear in many more CF's and music videos. Joon-Gi continued to audition for various acting roles, but not did not find immediate success. In 2004, Joon-Gi landed his first substantive acting role in the TV drama "[[Star's Echo]]" - co-produced by [[MBC]] & [[Fuji TV]]. Joon-Gi would also make his acting debut on the big screen in the same year. Competing alongside 2000 other participants, Joon-Gi landed a role in the Japanese film "[[The Hotel Venus]]." During his time working on the set of "[[The Hotel Venus]]," Lee Joon-Gi found himself less than pleased with his management company & having to work part time jobs to support himself. "[[The Hotel Venus]]" would go on to become moderately successful in Japan selling 2.8 million tickets. Lee Joon-Gi would also start work on his first Korean film "[[Flying Boys]]" in 2004.

One year later, Lee Joon-Gi would land the role of "Gong-gil" in the 2005 film "[[The King and the Clown]]." The film was an unusual historical drama centered around the relationship between two male clown actors - one having traditional masculine traits and the other (played by Lee Joon-Gi) having highly effeminate traits. To land the role of Gong-gil, Joon-Gi endured four separate auditions. While filming "[[The King and the Clown]]," Joon-Gi spoke in a higher pitched voice and acted effeminate even when not in front of the camera to stay in the character of Gong-gil. The movie with little expectations upon its release, would then go on to become the highest grossing film of its time, selling 12.3 million tickets. Lee Joon-Gi also appeared concurrently on the small screen in the [[SBS]] drama series "[[My Girl]]," further boosting his popularity & making him one of the most popular actors in Asia.

After "[[The King and the Clown]]," Joon-Gi has usually taken on more masculine roles to avoid typecasting. He starred in two successful television series, "[[Time Between Dog and Wolf (2007-South Korea-TV)|Time Between Dog And Wolf]]" & "[[Il Ji-Mae: The Phantom Thief]]," while appearing on the big screen in "[[Fly, Daddy, Fly]]," "[[Virgin Snow]]" (his second Japanese film), & the box office hit "[[May 18]]."

In 2009, Lee Joon-Gi worked primarily on his musical career, holding fan concerts in South Korea, China, and Japan, while releasing several digital download singles. Lee Joon-Gi was also appointed an ambassador for Korea tourism by the Korea Tourism Organization.[http://asianwiki.com/Joon-Gi_Lee#References] He is now set to star in the upcoming [[MBC]] drama "[[Hero (2009-South Korea-MBC)|Hero]]" this November.
