Lee Seung Gi has gained a new nickname. Following ‘Nation’s Younger Man’, ‘Heodang’, lately he’s been nicknamed ‘Nation’s Lucky Charm’.
This came about in connection with PyeongChang’s successful bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics. Netizens have been arguing for the ‘parallel theory’ between Lee Seung Gi and PyeongChang, and claiming that “bad luck will leave and good luck will come to anything Lee Seung Gi touches.” So he’s been called ‘Nation’s Lucky Charm’.
The parallel theory between Lee Seung Gi and PyeongChang claimed by the netizens has to do with the number 7. PyeongChang’s Winter Olympics bid success was confirmed on July 7 [7/7], there are 7 years left before 2018, and Lee Seung Gi happens to be a celebrity of number 7.
Lee Seung Gi was born in 1987, and this is the 7th year since his debut. He usually wears jersey number 7 on his soccer team, and he held his first solo concert in 2007. He’s released a total of 17 albums so far [I think the number includes all the singles], and has 77 songs. The number of dramas and variety programs he has regularly appeared on is 7, and in the drama ‘Infamous Chil [7] Princesses’ he was married to Teng-chil [7].
In addition, Lee Seung Gi is the model for the mineral water brand PyeongChangSu, and PyeongChang was his first trip after joining 1N2D. These have been put forward as evidence to support the ‘parallel theory with PyeongChang’. (Lee Seung Gi) has filmed a CF with ‘Goddess of PyeongChang’ Kim Yuna and they are nicknamed ‘Nation’s Brother and Sister’, this has also gotten a lot of attention.
The netizens showed heated response, “Didn’t the big earthquake and nuclear crisis happen in Japan after he gave up on Japan advancement? Even in a war, there would really be nothing to worry about if only Lee Seung Gi was the lucky charm”, “It’s surprising even though things are just being pieced together. It’s probably not entirely a coincidence”, “Let’s make Lee Seung Gi the nation’s lucky charm”, “What should we do to get Lee Seung Gi luck?” and etc.
With words like “Seunglelujah!” being coined, Lee Seung Gi’s extraordinary luck can’t be denied.

Date: 2011-07-10 05:09 am (UTC)I also flipped out when I read TOP was my age... until I learned he's 5 months younger. Bigtime crap.
I think Hyunjoong and Jay are older 87's, though. Yay. I was starting to feel like an 87-line noona -__-
