Caricature of Seung Gi as Choi Kang Chi from Official Airen Fanclub
The Official Airen Fanclub released a caricature of Choi Kangchi and a caption in Hangul congratulating Lee Seung Gi on his triple victory at the MBC Daesang Awards on 12/30.
2013 MBC 연기대상 ‘최우수연기상’ <구가의 서> 최강치! 우리 이배우 이승기라서 좋은가 그대~^^♡ 수상을 축하합니다~!! 정말 고맙습니다!
2013 MBC Acting Daesang ‘High Excellence Acting Award’ Choi Kangchi! Is it because you like our actor Lee Seung Gi, geudae * ~^^♡ Congratulations on your award~!!
Thank you very much!
*geudae is a term of endearment used to refer to the person one loves. In The Gu Family Book, Kangchi and YeoWool called each other geudae as they were flirting. Here, it is a play on words with MBC and Lee Seung Gi with the fanclub asking the station if they were so taken by him. LOL. 🙂

Seung Gi’s Floral Jacket Worn at the MBC Daesang Awards
Many Airens on Twitter were commenting on the Dolce & Gabbana Floral Jacket that Seung Gi wore for Part 1 of the MBC Daesang Awards ceremony. It turns out that it costs $8,345! OMG! The reason is mainly due to the fact that it is hand embroidered. I wasn’t particularly fond of the pattern or design, but because Seung Gi was wearing it, he was able to pull it off. Still, I am glad that he changed into a classic black velvet tux with a polka dot bowtie for Part 2 of the Awards Ceremony.

Lee Seung Gi scores a triple win at MBC Daesang Awards~ Official MBC HQ Photos
Lee Seung Gi had a triple victory tonight at MBC’s Daesang Awards Ceremony. He was the MC with Han Ji Hye throughout the evening. In addition, he won in 3 categories: Popularity Award, Best Couple with Suzy Bae, and Male High Excellence Award in a mini-series. His costar from The Gu Family Book, Suzy Bae, also won the Female High Excellence Award in a mini-series. She introduced The Gu Family Book to the audience. Kangdam couple fans, tonight was an unforgettable one for you. At one point in the ceremony, Han Ji Hye asked Seung Gi how he felt about the kiss scene with Suzy. He became obviously uncomfortable and was unable to answer the question so his cohost asked him about playing the role of beastly Kangchi. In the same light, Seung Gi asked Suzy what her most memorable moment was during filming and she answered “the kiss scene”. I am so proud of Seung Gi and all the hard work he put into The Gu Family Book. It certainly paid off. Newcomer Suzy Bae was overwhelmed at her win and mentioned Seung Gi in her thank you speech for helping her to receive this award. The Daesang Award went to Ha Ji Won for Empress Ki, which is currently airing in Korea. She had been Seung Gi’s costar in The King 2 Hearts.
All the winners from tonight
