Time is of the essence for Lee Hong-gi

SINGAPORE — For a 24-year-old, Lee Hong-gi is quite remarkably accomplished.

SINGAPORE — For a 24-year-old, Lee Hong-gi is quite remarkably accomplished.

Not only is Lee the lead vocalist of Korean band F.T. Island, the K-pop star has also starred in popular drama series Bride Of The Century, and was recently cast in the lead role in a musical called Vampire.

And now, Lee is making his way around cities like Hong Kong, Taipei and Singapore for his first solo fan meet.

But he admits that things just aren’t quite the same without the rest of his band.

“If I had my band members with us, we would definitely have many live segments during our fan meet, because we would have our instruments with us,” Lee told TODAY during an interview at Ritz Carlton Singapore this afternoon (Friday), ahead of his fan meet tomorrow. “I’m sure it would be a lot more fun.”

What the singer-actor really needs most is time — more hours in a day to spend time with the people he loves, and to do the things he wants to do.

And luckily for him, Lee seems to be quite adept at multi-tasking. Though technically in town for work, Lee is also treating his trip as an opportunity to spend time with his mother — who was “sightseeing” in Singapore while he gave interviews to local media.

“It’s about managing time constraints, and balancing all my work at the same time,” Lee said. “It’s a big challenge, because we are very short on time, but we have many things to do!”

 

Lee Hong-gi’s first solo fan meet in Singapore will be held on July 19, 7pm, at the Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Sentosa. Tickets at S$115 to S$175 from SISTIC.
