Actor Lee Jun Ki recently donated 10 tons of rice given to him by fans.

At the press conference of the upcoming MBC drama, ’Arang and the Magistrate‘, which was held at Seoul Grand Ambassador Hotel on August 10th, he received 10 tons of rice from his overseas fans in Japan, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and more. The gift was sent to congratulate him on his return to the screen after getting discharged from army service. The large amount sparked interest as 10 tons of rice is reported to provide meals for 86,000 people.

Lee Jun Ki’s agency IMX responded, “We found out that the fans abroad have been collecting for the donation since 3 months ago. We are thankful and grateful or the fans’ support, and after discussing it with Lee Jun Ki, we’ve decided to donate the rice.”

‘Arang and the Magistrate’ is Lee Jun Ki’s comeback project. He’ll be playing the role of ‘Eun Oh’, a magistrate who can see the ghost of ‘Arang’ (Shin Min Ah). The first episode will be broadcast on August 15th.

Se7en and actor Lee Jun Ki are standing shoulder to shoulder with their latest Japanese releases on the Oricon chart!

Lee Jun Ki’s comeback single since his army discharge, ‘Deucer‘, landed at fifth on Oricon daily singles chart. The single has a previous record of topping the daily singles chart upon its release last month, and Lee Jun Ki remains to be a strong contender, remaining in the ‘Top 10′ nearly a month later with a re-release containing four additional tracks.

Se7en’s ‘Love Again‘ also ranked in sixth on the same chart, trailing one rank behind Lee Jun Ki. Se7en will be taking off on his showcase tour through Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka next month.

Meanwhile, as reported earlier, INFINITE‘s “Be Mine‘ and F.T. Island‘s ‘Neverland‘ ranked in at second and tenth, respectively, on the Oricon weekly singles chart.

Hallyu star Lee Jun Ki, who will be discharged from the military on February 16th, will be releasing a new single entitled ‘Deucer‘ next month.

According to Lee Jun Ki’s official Japanese site, the album will be available in several formats: Type A (CD+DVD), Type B (CD+DVD), and Limited Edition (CD+DVD and a booklet). The album will include “Together“, a song full of hope that’s sure to leave a strong impression on its listeners, along with four others that Lee Jun Ki himself had composed.

Lee Jun Ki, who enlisted in May of 2010, has been serving as a public relations support individual at the Korean Defense Agency for Public Information Services. He will be holding a special fan-meet event for his fans on the day of his discharge.

Additionally, Lee Jun Ki will also be holding his Japan fan meet tour ‘COMING BACK‘ in March, covering major cities such as Nagoya on the 16th, Yokohama on the 18th, and Osaka on the 19th.
