Pagkatapos ng five-month run ng GMA teleserye na My Korean Jagiya, babalik muna si Alexander Lee sa South Korea para gawin naman niya ang ibang trabaho niya roon at ang maalagaan ang kanyang ama na may sakit.
Hindi raw malilimutan ni Xander ang experience niya sa Pilipinas, lalo na sa paglabas niya sa first TV series niya rito.
“I will never forget all my good experiences during my stay here in the Philippines.
“Everyone was pleasant to me, from my co-stars to the staff and the bosses of GMA. They all made working here memorable.
“I will never forget the food that I tasted for the first time and I was able to go around the Philippines which is such a beautiful country with beautiful people!” ngiti pa ni Xander.
Pinaka-unforgettable daw parakay Xander ay ang pag-shoot nila sa Bataan kunsaan kinunan ang unang kiss nila ni Heart.
“It’s the gondola scene shot in Bataan. I had a great time talking with Heart Evangelista about our personal lives while we were on the boat. This made our friendship even closer.
My whole stay here is a great learning experience for me as I found out more about Filipino culture, how it is to work in another country and I made so many valid reflections about life.
“I think the most important thing I learned is also what Jun Ho himself learnt: Fame and popularity do not make you happy. It’s your relationship with the loved ones around you that is more important and could bring you true happiness.”
Mami-miss niya si Heart na naging malapit na sa kanya.
“Heart is a joy to work with. I enjoyed having heart to heart talks with her as she has given me so many pieces of good advice about work and about life in general that I will treasure forever.
“I will definitely miss working with her as our chemistry is perfect.”
Pumirma ng one year exclusive contract with GMA Artist Centersi Xander at uuwi raw muna siya sa South Korea para asikasuhin ang ilang personal matters.
Babalik daw siya sa Pilipinas kapag handa na ang next TV project niya.
