Name: Lee Joon-ki
Date of Birth: Apr. 17, 1982
Body: 178cm/63kg
Title: TV Actor
Hobbies: Playing soccer & computer games
Debut: Model for Clothing Brand “So Basic”(2001)
Filmography: Drama “Star’s Echo" “My Girl", Movie “The King and The Clown" “Flying Boys" “Fly, Daddy, Fly" and more

“King and the Clown” brought the talents of a new actor to light. Lee Joon-ki!! His adept character portrayal has started a new trend of "feminine masculinity"~ As the favored dark horse bound for complete stardom in 2006, we decided to pay super-rookie Lee Joon-ki a visit.

Our STAR FOCUS cameras caught up with him at an ad layout shoot. In order to take full advantage of his "neutral gender" image, a famous Japanese make-up artist was flown into Korea.

These days, any clothes, accessories, or jewelry that Lee Joon-ki dons turns into an instant icon. He takes 2005’s male pop term, "metro-sexual," and steps it up with "cross-sexual."

In “King and the Clown”, he played Gong-gil, a clown who was part of the lowest-ranked class during Korea’s Chosun Dynasty. Lee Joon-ki took that role and impressed the entire Korean peninsula.
They passed the 10-million viewer mark last week, putting them in third place for the most-watched film in Korean history. Lee Joon-ki obtained top-tier status after an amazing performance in the film.

He was duly awarded with "Best Supporting Actor," at this year’s Max Movie Awards.

Movie star Lee Joon-ki is also making an impression in television. He plays a flirtatious romantic in the TV drama, “My Girl”. Lee’s character is Seo Jung-woo, flirty but searching for true love.
It’s a different charm of his that appeals to audiences in this role, one that is more masculine than his "Gong-gil" character. Which is more similar to the REAL Lee Joon-ki?

Not a COMPLETE rookie in the biz, Lee has had experience working in other productions. In 2002, “The Hotel Venus”, was the first Japanese film to be shot in Korean. His rebellious character was actually Lee’s debut role. And though it didn’t do too well in Korea, his acting left a strong impression.

Then he showed up in the film, “Flying Boys”, as a cheerful high-school student. It was a small role, but added to his repertoire.

After he became a household name with “King and the Clown”, people started looking up all his past work. Fans doted on his adorable part in Clazziquai’s "Sweety" music video in 2004.

And he was also cast in Lee Soo-young’s "Grace" music video, from her latest seventh album. Lee portrays the frailty in love. He’s been shoved into the limelight and slowly has begun to adjust.

From a soft image to aggressive. He has a natural morphing ability, giving him an edge in modeling. The actor in him fulfills the exact wants of his photographer. And is a delight to watch!

Lee Joon-ki takes a large burden on his shoulders, as audiences look to seeing more of his exceptional talent in 2006. And he hopes he won’t let anyone down! We’ve got faith, how ’bout you!!

TVXQ or Dong Ban Shin Gi literally translates, as "Gods will rise from the East." TVXQ members are Xiah, Micky, Hero, Max and U-Know . They are very popular in South Korea keeping them at the top of the charts. Their upbeat music and amazing dance performance every time they perform make the crowd go wild. TVXQ is now currently making waves in Japan.

Jamie and his wife Juliette Norton or Jools as he call her.

James (Jamie) Trevor Oliver, MBE (Member of the British Empire)(born on May 27, 1975), also known as the Naked Chef, is a British celebrity chef.

This is Jamie’s band, Scarlet Division. Jamie is the drummer of the band. Jamie and his mate Leigh founded the band in 1989 but they disband until 1999 when the other members moved in to London. This picture was taken at the taping of Jamie’s Oliver’s Twist show with the title episode "Scarlet Division."

This Hugh Laurie, the actor who plays Gregory House, M.D. in HOUSE, M.D. one of my favorite television shows. I think he’s cool. He is British but when you see him in house he has no accent although sometimes you notice a little of it. I was watching a disney movie last week, the 101 dalmatians, I was surprised to see Hugh Laurie as one of the dog bandits!! The opposite end of his role as house!! Oh, and yeah< a little trivia, in his first year in the university he dated Emma Thompson, the actress who played Professor Trelawney in the Harry Potter film.

He never thought he’d have to get rigged out as a giant sweetcorn! Jamie Oliver looks back on the highs and lows of filming Jamie’s School Dinners.

When you turned up at school on that first day, were the kids different from what you’d expected?
I had to get my head around 2005 kiddie-lingo pretty quick, but otherwise things haven’t changed that much, except some kids are more sophisticated, and others are more backward than when I was at school.

In the series you were sometimes cast as teacher as much as a chef. Is teaching something you enjoy?
Yeah, I suppose I’m always teaching in kitchens, I do it a lot. In Programme 2 I was a teacher. My job there was to try and understand where the kids were coming from and see if I could persuade them to make better decisions about what they were eating. It wasn’t easy – it gave me a reality check on what teachers do, and how hard it is to be a teacher.

How did you feel, dressed up as a sweetcorn?
Bloody ridiculous – a right prat. And ‘cos so many kids didn’t even know what loads of vegetables look like, they probably didn’t even know what I was!

What about those bolshy teenagers who wouldn’t try the food and demonstrated against you. How was that?
Not very much fun. Especially when you’re trying to change things and get them to be more open-minded. But it’s not easy because they’ve grown up accepting what they’re told by marketing giants like Nike or McDonald’s. I wanted to take them out of that attitude and present them with something different. It really takes time, but when they stopped whingeing and got on with it, they didn’t want to go back to the old rubbish, ‘cos this was much better.

You had your ups and downs with Nora. How are you getting on with her now?
Nora – she kicked my backside a bit. She knew I was coming in to experiment, and I took her well out of her comfort zone. But she stuck with it – she could have kicked me out on day two, but she didn’t. It’s funny really, after the way it started with her, but in the end without her it wouldn’t have worked. She was a huge support. At first she was vulnerable and I was confident, then she became more confident when I was shaky. Without her we wouldn’t ever have achieved the rollout through the borough. Nora’s a really amazing lady. But dinner ladies like her need supporting with more money.

What were the high points of making the series?
Seeing the dinner ladies transformed and taken to another level. And seeing the children transformed, too. Feeling that with my school dinners I could get kids to try new things, and actually enjoy stuff that was much better for them. It was a struggle, though. You want them all to be trying things and they don’t want to. But it’s gotta be fun, not forced, then slowly, slowly, they’ll start to shift.

And the low points?
Too many. The sheer scale of trying to change a whole borough, get the teachers and dinner ladies behind me, bring the parents and kids onside. It was very tiring and a bit depressing sometimes. Hard to focus, because it was just so big.

It looked like a pretty punishing schedule you had set up there.
Yeah, it was exhausting – dreadful, for a while it overtook and compromised everything I was trying to do.

It must have been tough on your family too.
Yeah, it was hard for them. I was usually with them at weekends, but not mentally there that much – I was always worrying, thinking about it. But this year feels much better.

Did you achieve what you set out to do?
Yes, and I’ve still got four people working on school dinners in Greenwich – chefs going into schools to help them to change

What are you doing next?
I’m looking forward to the programmes being seen and I hope parents and teachers will demand more support from the Government. I want to try and get government-backed change – that might mean working with them or whatever. We need to get them to make the right decisions. As a nation, you can’t always expect children or parents to know what’s best; you expect the government to step in and help people. So much of it is down to common sense.

Foodwise, what do you think the future will be like for the kids on the programme?
At the moment, it all depends on their families. There’s no food culture at school. And in lots of families people haven’t got a lot of time for food and cooking. Some of the younger ones don’t always get any dinner at all at home. That’s why it makes more and more sense for schools to step in. Whether they’re lucky kids with good food at home or not, they all should get decent food at school.

What have you learned from doing the series?
One of the most shocking things that I just hadn’t realised was how much food is taken on the go, it’s not there to be shared or enjoyed. A lot of kids don’t even have a table at home, they just take their food and go upstairs and eat it in front of their PlayStations. I mean, I like a bowl of noodles in front of the telly with the missis all right, but it’s also great to share meals with others, and sometimes it’s fantastic for the family to sit down and eat together.

The other really important thing is making people understand. People say: ‘My kid eats this or that junk food, and he’s all right.’ They don’t realise what the long-term effect’s gonna be. It takes a doctor or paediatrician to say to them, your kid’s storing up this that or the other health problem. The information’s all there: the statistics show that we’re growing more obese, getting more diseases linked with poor diet. We should be saying, f— it, what are we doing? If we don’t act now, in 100 years what will people think – they’ll look back and see, all the signs were there – and they’ll say why didn’t they do something?

MOST restaurateurs would fall over themselves to get a former US President at one of their tables - but not down-to-earth Jamie Oliver.

The mockney geezer proved that the words, "Don’t you know who I am?" will never cut any ice at his restaurant, Fifteen, by turning away none other than Bill Clinton.

Clinton, 57, visited London earlier this year and decided he wanted to try some top quality contemporary British grub.

And what place better to do so than at 28-year-old Jamie’s Old Street restaurant which is staffed by rookie chefs trained by the pukka chap himself?

JUST DESSERTS: Bill Clinton

With prices of around £60 a head for three courses and wine, it was well within the ex-Pres’s budget, so his people got on to Jamie’s people to book a table for 12.

But there was a slight hitch - the millionaire kitchen wizard’s eaterie is proving so popular that punters have to reserve a table three months in advance.

An insider at the restaurant reveals: "Everyone was grinning from ear to ear when we took the call." And they were equally chuffed when the management stuck to their guns and decided not bounce another booking to make room for Bill and his pals.

"Clinton’s people called on a Thursday wanting a booking for the following Saturday," explains one of Jamie’s staff.

"It was impossible because that’s the restaurant’s busiest night. He also wanted a booking for 12 people and we can only accommodate parties of eight."

NO GO: Jamie wouldn’t bow to Ex-Prez’s request

Clinton was adamant he wanted to try out the East London diner and begged them to squeeze his party in somehow - but all to no avail.

"It would have meant cancelling a booking of other guests who made reservations weeks ago and that just wouldn’t be fair," our insider explains.

"He was told that if he wanted to come back in future he should remember to book a table well in advance.

"If we’re full, we’re full, and there’s nothing that can be done about it - even if it is for the former President of the United States."

Staff at the restaurant say Clinton isn’t the first A-list celeb to have been turned away. "We’ve had others call up and trot out the ‘do you know who I am?’ line when we explain that you can’t just expect to get a table here because you may be well-known," our source reveals.

"We’re not here to bend to famous people’s whims. We’re here to serve good food to people who like good food - nothing more, nothing less."

A spokesman for Jamie confirmed that Clinton had been turned away by the restaurant.

He said last night: "Jamie was sorry the restaurant was unable to accommodate Bill Clinton, but his attitude was c’est la vie.

"Mr Clinton is, of course, more than welcome to come back at any time but he will have to give the restaurant a bit more notice."

But if Bill still wants to sample some of Jamie’s pukka tucker, he’d better get in quick.

There’s not one evening reservation to be had until 2004.

We can only hope Billy kicked back and lit up a cigar in commiseration…
