"Queen Seonduk" Photo Diary by Alcheonrang Lee Seunghyo 10/5/09

The MBC TV drama “Queen Seonduk” is still getting the top viewer rating. Due to the popularity of the drama, all actors from Queen Seonduk are drawing explosive attention from viewers. Actor Lee Seunghyo, who plays Alcheonrang, is going to show us hidden pictures and stories about the actors for three months. This is the first story.



What “Alcheonrang” Lee Seunghyo’s doing these days

Hi, readers of “Lady Kyunghyang”. How do you like my first photo diary? I’m not good at using a camera yet, but I’ll try to take more interesting and bet☆ter pictures afterwards. Luckily, these photos look bet☆ter than my actual skills because my camera has good color and easily adjustable angles.



Let me introduce my family of actors and staff in “Queen Seonduk”.

1.Yushin Taewung is a camera maniac. He knows everything about digital cameras. He taught me everything about diaphragm, exposure, and focusing.

2. My buddy Seogang, who’s always with me. He’s very handsome. Doesn’t he look like Nickkun from “2PM”?

3. Rising star of “Queen Seonduk” Ko Yoonhoo, who plays Poongwoljoo HoJae. Isn’t he good-looking?

4. Lee Moonsik is very funny, like a comedian. He’s so hilarious that I can’t tell if it comes naturally or if he’s acting.

5. Daepoong from Yonghwahyangdo and Seokpoom. They are enemies in the drama, but friends in real life. Hong Kyungin’s eyes look dim because he’s out of focus.

6. We are “Al and Bi”. Look at Bidam Kim Namgil’s eyes. They are very imposing and melancholy, which strikes awe in me.

7. Chilsook An Gilgang. He always takes good care of the actors and makes everyone laugh with his humor.

8. The staff members who make “Queen Seonduk”. I’m always thankful!

9. My manager Jang Jinho. I met him thanks to all who were concerned about me not having a manager and now he‘s my good friend.
But....he’s bet☆ter looking than me. What am I going to do?

 We, the Queen Seonduk Team, spend our breaks chatting, playing chess, and snacking. We are close each other and always in a good mood. In the scene we’re shooting today, it is revealed that Bidam loses to Yooshin on purpose in the Bijae Final, which causes big trouble. A meeting is held and comes to the conclusion that if Yushin blocks Chilsuk’s attack seven times, he will be admitted as Pungwolju. Is he going to make it without any difficulty?



The ten Hwarangs and their break time

1. Five of the hwarangs practice “learning to wait before learing to act”. They look happy, though.

2. Yooshingrang, a real man, doesn’t lose charisma even during break time.

3. Nice posture, nice expression. Bakeurang is appreciating music.

4. The best Janggi player among the Queen Seonduk cast is Wolya. His posture is extraordinary.

5. Even during break, they are serious when they read their s. How many lines do I have this time?

6. Snow White Imjongrang falls asleep so easily if his head rests on anything.

7. During the break, I often give an interview. This time, it’s an MBC cable broadcasting station. Let’s start promoting Queen Seonduk.

8. Bidam is very fun, just like his character in the drama. He shows his weird humor during break. Since a good looking guy like him is doing that, he’s more attractive. The world is not fair.

9. I don’t take a nap during break. If I sleep with makeup on, my face gets swollen. To show the viewers a bet☆ter look, I try to avoid sleep and go around poking my nose into other people’s business instead.

10.  Action actors are practicing martial arts from time to time. They are irreplaceable treasures of Queen Seonduk.



I had an interesting experience yesterday. Some Japanese people visited our set to see me.  This was a first for me. They were girls in their early twenties. Oh, I can’t stop smiling when I think about it. Those four girls shyly came to me saying “Aruchonnan…sign… sign…” I gave them my autograph. Then they said “Sajin… sajin,” so I took pictures with them.



Too bad the meeting with them ended just like that.  We couldn’t overcome the barrier of language. In Japan, “Queen Seonduk” is aired on cable TV. From October, it will be aired on Fuji TV. I think it’s a result of the popularity of Kim Younghyun, writer of Daejanggum. Oh, I thank you to Korean fans, too. I’m at a loss for words since I’m getting so many generous presents these days.
Most of them are red ginseng products and vitamins. Maybe I looked very tired. I also received many homemade neck pillows. They are so useful when I nap in my car. I use them myself, not even lending one to others. I got drawings of Alcheon rang and picture frames, which I appreciate. There’s also a fan who sent me the new single of my favorite group, “Spitz”. Thank you to all who remember me and care about me. I think I talk too much about my personal life. There will be one more spectacular war scene in the drama. Soon, I’ll show you some great action scenes with Alcheon.



Please look forward to the next photo diary of Alcheonrang. Good bye.
