English translation:
Lee Seung Gi: We began the (Lunar) new year together with Big Issue but I found out about the existence of this magazine belatedly. After finding out that there was a magazine with such a good purpose, I worked together with Big Issue through talent donation. Compared to the photoshoot for the magazine, after directly coming out to sell the magazine together with the homeless, I’d be very thankful if more people would be aware of this magazine. Also, although so many of my fans showed a lot of interest this time, if ordinary folks saw this and there was a bit more awareness of Big Issue‘s purpose and existence through thoughts such as,”What exactly is Big Issue?”, “What is it that makes Lee Seung Gi come and sell it?” I think it will also be helpful in being a source of strength for people around us who need it. It was really rewarding to sell them directly and I was very happy because I think many people showed their interest.
Lee Sung Yong (Big Issue Vendor at Donggak station, Exit 11): I was nervous because it was the first time. Sales were really good.
Oh Hyun Seok (Big Issue Vendor at Express Bus Terminal Exit 8): It was really great and because I was selling next to Lee Seung Gi, I felt satisfied and really liked it. Also, he was so tall! (chuckles) So everything was laid back and great.
Kim Hyung Chul (Big Issue Vendor at Gangnam station, Exit 9): I definitely felt that Big Issue vendors weren’t alone. Having such a famous person come and have hundreds of people come to help gives me strength. I am thankful for it.

Today I had an exam so I was hesitating about whether to go or not. I decided to go!
1st time)
Because the person in front of me was receiving an autograph…
KimG : Would it be possible if you could also sign mine~??
Manager : If he signs for one person, he’ll have to do it continuously, so it’s not allowed.
Seung Gi : I’m sorry
KimG : Please give me one copy……..
I received a flat refusal and without saying a word, I just leftㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
2nd time)
I regained my courage to take a selca! I made up my mind and waited as my heart pounded !!
(But as soon as my turn came, the manager said photos were not allowed and held back my phone…)
KimG : A photo…
Manager : It’s not allowed.
Seung Gi : Flustered and awkward?! ( Because I received 2 flat refusals from the manager, I don’t remember how I reacted ㅠㅠ)
Manager : Please come out quickly
KimG : My change…!!!!
Seung Gi : (He quietly asks the Big Issue vendor to give him some change)
KimG : (Came out of there as if I was dragged out ㅠㅠ)
3rd time)
I couldn’t just go home because I was refused so many times. This time, I was going to succeed for sure and waited with half expectation and half determination..
KimG : Oppa, can I have an autograph….
Seung Gi : (Nodding) Yes~
KimG : Oh! One moment please!! (All of a sudden, I fumbled with my phoneㅠㅠ Feeling flustered) Really, just a minute!!!!!! ……… 1,2,3 ^_^*
KimG : Please hug me! (Is he not allowed to hug? I don’t rememberㅠㅠ) Kyaaaak!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
I lost my sanity for a moment and took The Big Issue in my hand as I walked out and looked at the selca. My face was as huge as a red bean steamed bun and I was grinning from ear to ear. Although I came out ugly, oppa is handsome….!! I spazzed out and succeeded after 3 times.ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
If I had gone home after the 2nd time, I would have cried…
The people in front of me were all allowed hugs, autographs, and selcas. I could’ve been sad because whenever it came to my turn, for some reason, I was flatly refused ….ㅠ3ㅠ
Because of the backlight, (Seung Gi’s) face came out dark so I made some revisions with my phone. If it’s strange, let me know. 😉
