Love calls from all over the world

As actor Jo Hyun-Jae is about to be discharged from the military, he is receiving many “love calls” from all over Asia.

Jo Hyun-Jae, who rose to fame with “Love Letter” and “Seo Dong Yo”, was just promoted to Sergeant in March.  The global countdown to his discharge has begun.  Jo Hyun-Jae, who opted to be a regular soldier rather than an entertainment soldier, will be discharged on June 19, 2010.  Love calls from Korea, Japan, and other Asian countries come flooding in.

News on the grapevine indicate active negotiations are ongoing with Korean production companies regarding dramas and movies.   Japan and China are also negotiating large-scale activities, and in Taiwan,Thailand, and other Asian countries negotiations for fan meetings, autograph-signing, and other promotions are also underway.  This is very exciting and encouraging for an actor about to be discharged.

Just before his enlistment [on August 5, 2008] Jo Hyun-Jae held several fan meetings in various Asian countries, solidifying his status among the second generation Korean Wave.  The fan meetings in Japan attracted an astonishing 6,000 fans.  These and fans from other countries have since been waiting single-mindedly during these two years for his discharge. 

Apart from this, Jo Hyun-Jae’s dramas and movies that are shown in overseas countries after his enlistment have all received very good reaction.  During his military service, the army and his management company have received numerous letters and phone calls of enquiries from fans. 

As for his plans after discharge, Jo Hyun-Jae’s management company Star N Hit said: “His comeback work after discharge has not yet been decided, but it will be an excellent project.”

배우 조현재가 전역을 6개월 앞두고 아시아 각국서 러브콜을 받고 있다.

‘러브레터’ ‘서동요’로 사랑받았던 조현재는 3월 병장으로 진급, 전역 초읽기에 들어간다. 입대 후 연예사병이 아닌 의정부 소재 2군지사에서 일반 병사로 소신있게 근무하고 있는 조현재는 오는 6월19일 전역을 앞두고, 한국은 물론 일본과 중국등 아시아에서 러브콜이 물밀듯이 밀려오고 있다.

한국에서는 드라마와 영화 제작사에서 섭외문의가 밀려들고 있다는 측근의 전언이다. 또 일본과 중국에서는 각종 대규모행사에서 초청섭외가 들어오고 있으며, 대만 태국등 아시아의 여러 국가에서는 팬미팅, 각종 싸인회 그리고 프로모션 섭외가 물밀듯이 쏟아져 전역을 앞둔 연기자로서 기쁨의 환호성을 지르고 있다는 후문이다.

조현재는 입대 전부터 꾸준히 아시아 국가들을 돌며 팬미팅과 프로모션을 진행해 온 차세대 한류 스타다. 입대 직전 일본에서 열었던 팬미팅에서는 6,000명의 팬들이 모여 주위를 놀라게 했으며 이후 아시아의 팬들이 군입대부터 제대까지 배우 조현재를 일편단심으로 기다리고 있다.

게다가 입대 후 해외에서 방송된 드라마와 영화가 좋은 반응을 보여 조현재가 근무중인 부대와 소속사에 팬레터와 문의전화가 쇄도하고 있는 상황이다.

군재대 후 행보에 대해 소속사 스타엔히트 측은 “제대 이후 어떤 작품을 할지는 아직 결정되지 않았지만 좋은작 품으로 찾아뵐 것”이라 전했다.

    I am very, very happy to learn that JHJ is receiving so many offers with still more than 3 months remaining in his MS. JHJ, fighting!!!

    prissymom, you can tell from the clothes that the photo is of the same series as the 2010 calendar photos. Maybe taken during one of his leaves? Only JHJ can get away with an awkward pose like that. Anyone else would look ridiculous. Is he scratching his neck? or is the collar too tight?

    Ah, yes, clothes for Jan and Feb in the 2010 calendar, except that in the calendar he’s wearing a black coat + scarf in addition to the 2 layers he’s wearing in the above photo.

    Agree with your comment about the awkward pose – yes, only JHJ!!!

    Finally, the countdown for Mr. Jo’s return has come down to two digits. I am confident that he will complete the military service with honour. I agree that Mr. Jo’s above pose is awkward but this really makes him so special and unique.
