The Story Behind: Putting Up a Fans Group, The Beginning, The Reason Behind It and the Current Activities

Now this is something that I wanted to write on.. Our Group.. The story behind it.. and what we will offer to our fellow fans.

Well, we have different stories to tell. But the main reason why we formed a group is because of our support for Lee Jun Ki.

 What others see on us is that we give him too much importance, like we are some crazy fans drooling over on a effeminate person, like he was some kind of a GOD. No no no no no! We are not like that.

Well, there are times that we show too much appreciation, love for him.. It is typical for a fan to have that. But there are a few who are far more different than what a normal person would think about us.

The entire group consists of Filipinos that appreciates JG's talents, I (your blogger) happened to be one of them. As I was looking into JG's biography, fan pages, official websites, I wonder "Where could I find Filipino fans of Lee Jun Ki, such as myself?"

Like Weibo, Facebook is considered to be a top social website. It came to a point that I joined several groups from Facebook and yet an official Lee Jun Ki page for Filipino fans was hard to find... It took me several weeks, I found out about a page named "LEE JUN KI" with an added description (more likely from where the owner of the page lives) of San Mateo, Rizal.

It was a slow start at first but then I saw several members, (who were Filipinos by the way) much more enthusiastic than me, that requests to have a group exclusively for Filipinos. I was like, talking to myself.. "Really? That might be possible but I bet a few of us will participate on it, Lee Jun Ki is not that famous here in the Philippines."

Yes, yes, I was aware that Lee Jun Ki is not as popular as Lee Min Ho and some actors since his series/films are not yet shown here in the Philippines. Well, we did see him in the series "My Girl" but only as a supporting character.

It is indicative for every viewers of tv series and of films that we focus on the main characters, the protagonists and the antagonists, and the story.. We see a little on the efforts of the supporting characters unless you are a film/show critic or basically a film/show lover, or you were captivated by their good looks. 

Aside from "My Girl," currently, one of our TV networks here in the Philippines aired one of his series entitled "Tale of Arang"... well for us JG fans, we always call it "Arang and the Magistrate." So it seems.. that explains why his popularity here is incomparable (for now) to some actors i.e. actor Cha Song-joo (more known as Cholo or Kwon Sang-woo in Stairway to Heaven), actor Lee Min Ho (more known for his character as Goo Jun-pyo in Boys over Flowers) and etc.

But the initiative of making an effort on putting up a fans group is not as simple as "BECAUSE WE LOVE LEE JUN KI" or "BECAUSE WE NEED HIM TO BE FAMOUS" just to give you all a reason.

We decided to gather because we believe in his talents, his dedication to his craft, his passion for every hard work and he deserves support from those who believe in him. On top of that, each and everyone of us, his fans of course, would have the chance to interact with each other, and be known that JG have fans, not just from Korea, Japan, China, but on other countries as well.

THE CURRENT GROUP/PAGE ACTIVITY

The group page's (as indicated in this blogspot's header) fast activity started March 21, 2014 and this Blogspot started March 22, 2014.
