He first thanked the fans who came to the event despite the cold weather.



When asked the significance of Ferrero Rocher and Christmas, he said, “There is a similarity in that both Christmas and Ferrero Rocher reminds him of valuable people (in our lives). I hope you can share Ferrero Rocher with your dear ones during Christmas and have a special one.”

Lee said he got to travel to Rome for the first time to shoot the video commercial. “It was really fun,” he said, adding that he remembers the Italian phrase “buona sera” (good evening).
