Actor Lee Kwang-soo rose to fame as the ‘Bubble Prince,’ only to let out a sigh of relief after making a mistake by accidentally typing a blocked word.

On the 10th, Lee shared a message with fans through the fan communication platform ‘Bubble.’ When one fan wrote, “Oppa, I fought with my younger sibling this morning and got scolded. Please comfort me,” Lee replied, “You’re really cute. How cute are you right now? ○○ After some time passes, I’ll probably want to pinch your cheeks.”

At this point, two characters in the word ‘cute ○○’ in Lee’s reply were obscured and could not be seen. Lee asked fans, “Why is ‘unji’ a banned word?” and shared what he found when looking up the meaning of the word ‘unji.’

In dictionary terms, ‘unji’ meant cloud mushroom, finger technique for playing musical instruments, or a very high place like the clouds. However, this word was also used on internet sites such as ‘Ilbe’ to disparage the death of the late Roh Moo-hyun Jeon (President).

Learning about this later, Lee showed a surprised reaction, saying, “I’ve retracted it. I’m completely wide awake now.”

Lee launched ‘Bubble’ on the 1st and quickly became a topic of conversation by communicating with fans in a cheerful and witty manner. Although he was initially awkward using Bubble for the first time, he gained popularity by using a comical profile picture and background image, as well as through active communication and healing messages.

In particular, Lee was also caught checking his Bubble and chatting with fans even while at Do Kyung-soo’s concert venue.

Lee’s fans and the public responded with comments such as “Oppa really has talent,” “I’m jealous of Lee Sun-bin,” “I want to be close to him,” “He’s so warm,” “He seems to be enjoying it himself too,” and “He’s so affectionate.” It is reported that within ten days of its launch, the number of Bubble subscribers surpassed 20,000.
