Lee Ji Ah : "Bae Yong-Joon deserves a cultural medal."
korean to english translation by 이쟈짱 / www.ejiah.com
Jiah praised when she heard about Yong-Joon receiving the cultural medal on 17th.On Oct. 16, in the interviews with News-en, Jiah was delighted as if it was she who received the medal. She was proud as one of the Koreans. Jiah said in excitement "Receiving the cultural medal is in fact, a very cool event, I am so excited"
Their relationship was accomplished by year 2007's newsmaking drama, Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi. Yong-Joon and Jiah acted as Dam-duk and Sujini and draw people's attention. The meeting between the most famous actor, Yong-Joon and Jiah, who received the nickname 'Cinderella' was fresh and sensational. This was possible because they enlightened each other.
Jiah said, without a doubt, that Yong-Joon had the ability to take such medals. She explained that he should have received one long time ago. She said "Yong-Joon really did a lot for this country, in front of and behind the media." No wonder, Yong-Joon is more than just an actor. He is the one who is treated as the Korean cultural icon. His spreading powers don't just stop as an actor, but also gives the effects to the entire culture.
In fact, Yong-Joon, by his efforts on advertising Korean cultural stream with the drama "Winter Sonata", was selected as the cultural medal receiver. His receiving such medal stands for the great development of mass culture and its present position.
Jiah also knew all these facts. That is why she said "happy" without a hesitation. Also, her friends played an important part. Jiah said that she realized Yong-Joon's effectiveness, thanks to her friends who live in Japan. The man she saw and acted with was a man with more powers than she has ever imagined.
Jiah said "Many people, especially my friends living in Japan say that they are proud whenever they see Yong-Joon. There are so many who are proud to be Korea," which showed how well Yong-Joon is doing his job as a cultural diplomat. "It gives us a lot of pride to see Korean being loved overseas. As my friend said, he makes me happy to be a Korean like himself." she added.
Plus, the team of Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi, along with Yong-Joon's cultural medal, have more good news like Jiah's second drama, BV's success, and TSG official couple, Sung-Woong Park(Ju Moochi in TSG) and Eun Jung Shin(Dalbi in TSG)'s marriage.
