Put Up Your Dukes Soon

The following notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site stands out: 

Lee Soon-jae, 91, South Korean actor (Good Morning President, Grandpas Over Flowers, Idol School) and politician

What stood out to me in regards to his name is the “soon”— being that it’s a regularly used English word.  This is meaningful given the “language theme” documented in my earlier post today, … and so a twin heads upp.  As for his first name, it too is a word meaning “sheltered site of something” (ie:wind), and so we now have a cryptic phrase “shelter/protect soon”.  As for the “Jae” part of his name, we arrive at a number of words via the “Exchange Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, and so providing us with: jab jag jam jar jaw jay.  Two of the words, jab and jaw are connected in cryptic fashion… “boxing theme”.  

What then stood out was his film above re: Good Morning President, with the reason being that the birthdays of two Presidents had cropped up in following leads for yesterdays post, Cliff Hanger:

• Dean Ivanhoe Fraser (sometimes appearing as Dean Frazer; born 4 August 1957)
• Rowan Alexander "RJ" Barrett Jr. (born June 14, 2000)

August 4th is the birthday of Obama and June 14th is the birthday of Trump.   

On venturing to the films wikipedia page, one cast member stood out: 

• Jang Young-nam  (born November 25, 1973) as Cha Ji Wook's staff adviser

So Lee Soon-Jae had passed away on the birthday of this fellow actor, and so generating a “November 25(x2)” pattern cluster.   Again the “young” is an English word… with “nam” being a cryptic “name”.  Another actor in the film also stood out: 

• Song Young-gyu  (April 18, 1970 – August 4, 2025)

Obama’s birthday crops up again.  And the name provides us with a cryptic “song young guy”.  

In the case of actors, we are also prompted to investigate and their films released in 2000 and/or 1999 (given the 3 identical sequence of numbers in the years).  There were two, butt one stood out: 

Mr. Duke

Released in 2000.  Duke definitely jives with the boxing theme— as in putting up your dukes.  The title reminding me of Trump’s son, Barron (aka baron).  Note regarding two the the films cast: 

• Choi Ran (born November 30, 1960) 
• Na Moon-hee  (November 30, 1941)

They will celebrate their birthday together… “SOON”!!  Two other actors in the film stand out, butt I’ll leave that with you to figure out.
