The caption that came with this photo in Korean said,”The natural smiles of the Nunas about to embark on a trip. SeungGi~ yah…why is it that you’re unable to smile brightly when you’re leaving too?”
Korean to English translation by Elise Min, Lee Seung Gi Forever
A few hours before departure on October 31st, Hook tweeted this picture of Seung Gi with the following message in Korean:
네 분의 아름다운 꽃누나를 모시고 드디어 이승기씨가 출발했습니다~ 이승기씨가 무사히(?) 돌아올 수 있도록 많이 응원해주세요~~ 이승기 화이팅!!^^
English translation: Lee Seung Gi has just departed accompanying the 4 beautiful Flower Nunas~ Please cheer him on for a safe? return. Lee Seung Gi Fighting!!^^

Lee Seung Gi had a preliminary meeting at his place and appears nervous already before departing for his trip to Croatia. He said in another article that he would reveal the reason for this meeting at another time.
Part #2 to tvN’s ‘Grandpas Over Flowers’ hidden subtitle has been revealed as ‘Seung Gi yah, run away’
On the 30th, at an interview with a certain network, Na Young Seok PD confirmed,“The new backpacking trip’s title will be ‘Nunas Over Flowers.’ The result of the preliminary meeting with the cast and crew ended with the conclusion that rather than the word “mother” or “grandma”, the word “nuna”(older sister/female) appeared to fit best.
Thereafter, there was word about talk and laughter amongst the production crew who said that the subtitle should be ‘Seung Gi ya, run away’. This is because there would be a great deal of fun watching Lee Seung Gi’s flustered expression since he doesn’t understand the nunas’ wide range of emotions.
In addition, Na Young Seok PD said the following about the 4 actresses going on this trip: Yoon Yeo Jung, Kim Ja Ok, Kim Hee Ae, Lee Mi Yun. “The actresses’ real personalities may give off a haughty and arrogant image but they all share one quality in common: they have a young girls’ heart. They will be displaying a great deal of curiosity and cuteness.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Nunas Over Flowers’ team will be departing for Eastern Europe, Croatia, on the 31st. Na Young Seok PD and script writer Lee Woo Jung from the previous ‘Grandpas Over Flowers’ will work together once again. This time, the actresses on the trip will be Yoon Yeo Jung, Kim Ja Ok, Kim Jee Ae, Lee Mi Yeon, and porter Lee Seung Gi who will appear in the first broadcast mid November.

Here’s a translation from the most recent article on nate published online at 12:07am today KST.
Lee Seung Gi 2013 Hope Concert’s -Happiness, Anger, Sorrow, Joy opening in addition to weekly advance ticket sales have risen to #1 and are gathering a great deal of attention.
Lee Seung Gi, after the 2013 drama ‘The Gu Family Book’, is in the middle of preparing for the sequel to ‘Grandpas Over Flowers’, ‘Backpacking Project Part 2’. From the first day that advanced ticket sales opened, he created a sensation and displayed his unchanging excellence in ticket power.
Facing the end of the year concert season are Cho Young Pil, Shin Seung Hoon, Lee Seung Chul, Yoon Do Hyun, and Park Jung Hyun who are distinguished sunbae (older veterans in the same field) musicians. Despite the fact that they have just started ticket sales, he took the first place position fair and square. Rumor has it that it surprised a people in the industry to the point where they couldn’t hide their reactions.
All the more, PR related to the concert said that this was a highly unprecedented record for something (official ticket sales) that hasn’t even started.
Even though it’s still the beginning of advance ticketing, I anticipate that even in the future, expectations for Lee Seung Gi’s Concert will continue.
Since 2009, this is the 5th year that this exclusive annual concert has opened at the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium. Lee Seung Gi is nearly unparalleled in his position as a male vocal soloist. Every year, in as much as he carries out his concerts with a special theme, the expectations and satisfaction of his audience are just as high.
Having been acknowledged for his diverse repertoire which is typical of Lee Seung Gi, his concerts are well received. They are certainly multifaceted and sophisticated with presentations which deeply move and entertain.
Musician Lee Seung Gi’s concerts are among the high quality performances because they leave a good impression on the audience due to a mega stage reminiscent of a festival and his powerful music, which is a given. They are also well organized with sophisticated and varied, special stage events. His excellent winter concert is also an opportunity to confirm singer Lee Seung Gi’s merits.
You will be able to confirm the music, acting, variety, and a diverse genre that surpasses all with an energetic and new performance at the 2013 Lee Seung Gi Hope Concert- Happiness, Anger, Sorrow, Joy. It will take place on November 30th to December 1st for two days at the Olympic Gymanstics Stadium.

Around 12pm KST today, Lee Seung Gi was appointed as the “Hanwoo Keeper” by Korea’s Hanwoo Board. Here’s a translation of the most recent article from nate.com

Lee Seung Gi is leaving for Croatia at the end of this month, just as he had announced during the Heritory fan signing event on the 25th in Bucheon, Seoul. Here’s a translation of an article from nate.com.
tvN’s Backpacking Special Part#2 “Actresses Special (working title)” team will depart for Croatia this coming 31st (of October). Singer Lee Seung Gi including Yoon Yeo Jung, Kim Ja Ok, Kim Hee Ae, and Lee Mi Yeon are preparing to depart for Croatia to film for 10 days before returning. Because this destination has a more exotic and romantic atmosphere, there is a great deal of anticipation from the actresses and Lee Seung Gi.
The previous backpacking trip, Part #1 ‘Grandpas Over Flowers’ was very popular because the scenery was in Paris and Taiwan. In addition, Lee Seo Jin resurfaced as a porter so all eyes are on comparing this to the upcoming sequel. They are planning to arrive in Croatia via Istanbul, Turkey. This trip will be broadcasted this coming mid November.

This is a Japanese fan’s account from nanako210 on LSG Baidu who translated the Korean version into Chinese and also had a Japanese version. The Japanese and Korean came from a fan’s blog in Japan by a blogger named Maya who knows both Korean and Japanese. nanako210 provided the Japanese fan account from her blog to share with the public so I will post it here, but since it was taken from Maya’s blog, I believe it should be linked back to her blog site. Here’s the link to (まやさん ブログ ) Maya’s blog: Fan account at Heritory fan signing event . I encourage Japanese speakers to visit her site for a full account.

A lovely Airen named @YulingSG has translated Maya’s account before my translation of her conversation with Lee Seung Gi from nanako210’s Chinese translation. Here is a link to her lovely blog: speciallyforlsg.wordpress.com Here is her translation:
Although the Heritory Fan Sign was carried out in the hall of a department store this time, but it seemed that there was a time restriction on the usage of the event location. Hence, the entire fan sign gave people a somewhat rushed kind of feeling.
Firstly, other than the fan’s name and Seung Gi’s signature on the autograph card, fans couldn’t request Seung Gi to write any other additional words.
Later, the staff kept reminding everyone that while waiting for Seung Gi’s autograph, the words that (we) wanted to tell Seung Gi, try to make them as brief as possible
As a result, the interaction time with Seung Gi for each and every one of us was truly very, very short, this really made people feel sad and regretful.
However, after thinking about it for a while, being able to attend (the fan sign) is already very fortunate, (I) really couldn’t ask for more.
When I stood in front of Seung Gi, with my utmost efforts I expressed my heart-felt words to him. But due to my extreme nervousness, I could only remember Seung Gi’s replies briefly.
Below shows my conversation with Seung Gi↓
(I am translating directly from the original Korean version of Maya’s fan account)
Me: Hello.
SG: Yes, hello.
Me: Do you like vinegar flavored rice wrapped in tofu?
SG: Yes, I like it.
Me: That’s a relief. During our rehearsal support for the Tokyo performance, we had given you vinegar flavored rice wrapped in tofu.
SG: Ah~ yes, yes, you did.
Me: But I had been curious whether that was to your liking.
SG: It was delicous. Thank you.
Me: That’s a relief. Thank you very much.
After we finished talking, I shook Seung Gi’s hand, then I left the hall.
Although I already knew that Seung Gi probably wouldn’t remember our fan group (Because it’s still not considered as an official established fan group), but among the countless times of fan support for rehearsals, Seung Gi was still able to remember “sushi” this particular matter. Just this could make me feel unlimited happiness.
Moreover, I was able to hear his replies with my own ears. For me, this was the most meaningful and best reward from attending the fan sign this time!
Here are photos of vinegar rice wrapped in tofu. It is called Cho Bap (초밥) in Korean.

Here’s the Japanese fan account that nanako210 provided from Maya’s blog:
今回のHERITORYサイン会は、百货店の上にあるホールで実施されたのですが、会场を使える时间の制限があったようで、かなり急かされた感のあるサイン会でした。
まず、サイン色纸には、名前とサインのみで、メッセージはダメ。
サインしながらのお话も「时间が押してるから、短めに」と何度か注意があった程です。
なので、残念ながら、一人当たりの时间は短かったです(;_;)
まあでも、参加出来ただけでも、充分幸せなんだから、赘沢言っちゃいけませんね。
ちなみに、スンギくんを目の前にして、紧张の中、とりあえず自分が言うことで精一杯でしたので、スンギくんの言叶を正确には覚えておらず、「だいたい、こういう感じに言ってた。」ぐらいに思っておいてください。
で、スンギ君との会话ですが…
私: こんにちは
スンギ: はい、こんにちは
私: スンギくんは、お寿司は好きですか？
スンギ: はい、好きです。
私: 良かったです。东京ライブリハーサルサポートで、私たちはお寿司を用意したんです。
スンギ: ああ、はい、はい、そうでしたね。
私: なので、それが大丈夫だったか、気になってたんです。
スンギ: おいしく食べました。ありがとう。
私: 良かったです。ありがとうございます。
そして、握手して、终わり…という感じだったと思います。
スンギくんはおそらく、私たちのグループを认识してたわけでは无い(正式なコミュニティではないので)とは思いますが、何回かあったリハーサルサポートの中で、「お寿司」があった事を覚えてくれてた事だけでも、嬉しかったです（≥∇≤）
私的には、行った意义がとても大きいサイン会でした！

Lee Seung Gi is a busy man! This afternoon, he was at Young Jung-do, Incheon for the 2013 KLPGA Tour STAR Championship. It took place on the 72nd golf range. Most of the press photos were taken around 5pm KST.
Here’s a brief translation of the most important parts:
The male commentator states that singer/entertainer Lee Seung Gi is at the sports arena. There were many KB events that day. There was also a “Hope Scholarship Event” for boys and girls. The lady is announcing the presentation of the scholarship. The male commentator says that golfer Ahn Song Hee, the representative of all the golfers at that event, will be coming up to the front to present the scholarship to student Sohn Hyun Soo. The money for the scholarship was collected during the event and the male commentator states that the total should be approximately 9,400 Man Won. 1 Man won is equal to approx. $9.40 US dollars so the scholarship is approximately $88,400 US dollars.
The female announcer states that KB financial group CEO Lee Myung Rook and Lee Seung Gi will be presenting the award to the grand prize winner. The winner is pro golfer Lee Seung Hyeon. The male commentator mentions how it’s a fateful moment because the similarities in the names of the winner and Lee Seung Gi make it sound like the two are brother and sister. The chairman is assisting the winner in wearing a jacket in yellow, which is symbolic of the KB group. The male commentator states “Wow! Isn’t this a big trophy!” The female announcer mentions that it is made out of pure silver. At 2:16, the other male commentator points out Seung Gi’s heodang moment and says “he has missed the timing for presenting her with the flower wreath and is now presenting it to her” LOL! 🙂 He finally hangs it around her neck and the female announcer says that they will be taking commemorative photos. The winner also gets a cash prize of 140,000,000 Won which is approximately $131,800 US dollars. The male commentators say how it’s a relief that the prize is finally being presented. The 2nd male commentator states how the winner Lee Seung Hyeon was very bashful and happy at the same time a while ago when she made the championship hit and has an introverted personality. They conclude by remarking that on the very left next to Lee Seung Gi is pro golfer Yang Yoo Won who is part of the KB group.

In the beginning of this video, you’ll notice that the fans are leaning forward on the table and the security personnel says, “Leaning forward is not allowed”. At 0:55, a fan shouts out “Seung Gi Oppa, you’re good looking!”. Towards the end at 2:10 you’ll see Yoshimoto Banana’s photostorybooks and fans in the background say,”Look at that, don’t you think they’re going to give them out because we’re participating? I don’t think they’re giving them out? Why did they bring them? It might be for the remaining people. Then why did they bring them?
