I posted the following in November 2005, as a purely novelty item. LOL. That is pretty damn amusing in retrospect (the actor in the article is Bae Yong Joon
( Read more... )
I remember that article and lookikng at the guy and thinking 'er?' And I recently saw bits of Winter Sonata on tv here and still don't get what the whole thing was about. But then Stairway to Heaven also gave me fits so maybe those type aren't my cup of tea.
LOL. I've never seen Winter Sonata so no idea how it would come across to me. I love sappy stuff but get impatient easily, so it's a 50-50 chance. I did like him in 'Untold scandal' (hated the character but liked him in the role) but I don't think it was a very swoonable type thing as he was playing a despicable slimeball.
Yeah, I saw pics of him and didn't get the fuss at all. Of course, this one, as well as alexandral's pic post went a long way towards changing my mind but then I am a sucker for long hair :)
hmm i've seen this article before and thought nothing of it and now as i read this i googled him.... and i guess with the glasses his kinda nerdy looking... but then i saw him in another pic...
Wow, I really like him with the long hair and glasses. Looks like a manga character.
I appreciate that he doesn't complain about the obviously overwhelming fame. That always gripes me about American actors who are all "woe is me for being famous, why can't they respect our privacy" as it's completely hypocritical. People not interesting in invading your privacy? Then you're not famous any more. I appreciate that he's so gracious about it all.
Oh yeah! I watched a clip of him touring Japan. They were definitely wild and he had to end his tour as quickly as possible for his own safety..
He was ranked top #1 for more than 7 months in japan.. it was crazyyy! But if you think about it, it did bridge a gap between the japanese and the koreans. There's more acceptance towards each other than hatred.
oh. This is hilarious. 4 billion dollars?! I have to admit though...bae yong joon is quite hot...like seriously hot...I usually don't like actors who are twice my age (Hrithik is my exception) but BYJ is really good looking. I can understand why these girls love him...I know I would:P
BYJ's birthday is listed as 29th August 1972, which actually suggests that he should be reaching a degree of maturity that i like in my men...have always thought that men in their mid 30's to late 40's are at their most attractive...

I was thinking the same thing.

Exactly. It's a trade-off. Any job has duties and side-effects as well as benefits. It just comes across as spoiled to complain.
