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.

Lee Seung Gi’s Agency, “‘You’re Surrounded’ He Has Only Received the Script”
[MyDaily = Reporter Huh Suhl Hee] Singer and actor Lee Seung Gi’s return to drama is drawing attention.
Lee Seung Gi ‘s entertainment company, Hook Entertainment, told MyDaily on the 30th through a phone conversation,”Lee Seung Gi received an offer to appear on SBS’s ‘You’re Surrounded’ (working title). However, he has only recently received the script. Nothing has been confirmed”
The script that Lee Seung Gi received from SBS’s drama ‘You’re Surrounded’ is scheduled to be broadcast during the first half of next year. The project is based around a police station and the screen writer is Lee Jung Sun, and Yoo In Sik PD.
However, in the case that Lee Seung Gi confirms his appearance on ‘You’re Surrounded’, it will be 4 years since his return to SBS drama when he starred in the 2010 drama, ‘My Girlfriend is a Gumiho’. Lee Seung Gi’s return to drama is starting to draw interest.

According to LSGKWA, since the weather is so cold and there was a sudden drop in temperature here in Korea, beverages were delivered to Seung Gi and staff in thermos flasks with warm lunches in tupperware containers. A cake and a flower basket with different printed messages on the roses were also delivered to Seung Gi’s dressing room.
These are the various printed messages on the roses:

Seung Gi leaving the venue

End of concert! I will be updating this post with the song list, but judging from his Hope Concert in Daegu, I am guessing that his song list was similar if not the same as Daegu’s. All the comments on dclsg are raving about how awesome Seung Gi’s concert was and how he should come to Busan every year. Despite a tweet 3 hours before his performance stating that Seung Gi had gone to the hospital for an upset stomach, he was the professional and didn’t show a trace of discomfort during the show.
Here are some clips:

SG: (In Busan dialect) The weather is cold, have you all come dressed warmly?
Audience: Delightfully surprised and cheering
SG: Once again, I’m very happy to meet the people of Busan city.

English translation of final video~ Seung Gi says farewell and Happy New Year.
SG: ...until that day when I sing (my last?)…I ask everyone to always fill this place. You can do that, right?
Audience: Yes!!
SG: Finally, I want to thank everyone for your love. Although you may only see me on this stage, there are many people who have worked hard to make this happen. Even though I’d like to thank each and every person, to begin with…(gets cut off) It seems like yesterday that I wore my school uniform and carried a backpack in 2004 and sang ‘Because You’re My Woman’. Already, we’re headed towards 10 years. I’d like to thank everyone at Hook Entertainment and Executive Producer Gwon Jin Young who have seen me ever since my high school days with a shaved head. I am really grateful to the heavens for all the people around me who have given me strength and have been more proactive than me so that I may be able to show everyone a good performance. Also, I’d like to thank Big Mouth for their performance, the sound team, the lighting team, the awesome musicians who have performed for us, and all the dancers. I ask for a big applause.
In addition, I’d like to express my thanks to ? (due to people talking in the background, I couldn’t hear the name clearly) who made it possible for me to have performances in Daegu and Busan. I’d like to thank him/her for letting me meet such awesome people in Busan. Please end 2013 well. In 2014, I also will tie my shoelaces tightly and take off running. Please help me and cheer me on. Thank you. Also, have a Happy New Year in 2014. I love you. Thank you.
Will You Marry Me?~ Seung Gi says that it’s something he thinks about all the time at the end of the video.

SG: This will be the final portion of the first segment. I just heard an extremely loud sound of disappointment. It was about 4 to 5 octaves high. What was that? (laughs) You have more charm when I can’t see you. Really, it’s because I couldn’t see you. Because I can’t see you, I told you that you were charming. Now, Busan, I’m excited…I’m elated….
