 Summary:

 I’m Lee Seung Gi, glad to meet you. I found out about this magazine for the first time and after finding that many people were already giving it lots of love, I was very touched. I didn’t know about the existence of this magazine and I’m glad to have this chance to meet its readers. He is asked if he has ever seen Big Issue and Seung Gi replies that he hasn’t. He said that he thought he was helping society but after finding out that he didn’t know about Big Issue, he took time to reflect on himself.  He likes the principle behind Big Issue and how it enables the homeless to make their own living. When asked about other people in Korea who aren’t aware of Big Issue, he replies by saying that’s why he decided to participate this time and hopes others will also help so that more homeless will be able to become self reliant. He feels it is a magazine for a good cause that spreads love.  “Early this year, I’m finishing up the premiere of my movie and am preparing an album. In a while, I’ll be greeting you with a new album so please look forward to it. To readers and those who are hearing about it for the first time, please give lots of love to Big Issue. Thank you!”
