Seeing double
wulijohyunjae | July 12, 2010 | 7:00 amOur Contributing Editor prissymom (who now doubles as our blog Designer) has come up with another interesting article.
Our Jo Hyun Jae and actor Jang Geun-suk (JGS) were photographed wearing the same shirt!
Nope, I am not going to make any comparisons here. You all know that I am a diehard JHJ fan; any actor who makes the mistake of wearing the same clothes as JHJ will always suffer in any comparison to JHJ that I make. I share with you instead the following information:
1. The JHJ picture above was taken in July 2008 when he went to Thailand for a fan meeting. The particular activity in which the photo was taken was the tree-planting event wherein JHJ did some soil digging so he could plant the jasmine tree that the Thai fans dedicated to him.
2. Going by JGS’s hairstyle in the photo I can safely say that the picture was taken when his drama “Beethoven Virus” was still airing from September to November 2008. I do not know what he was doing when this photo was taken, but I think it would be safe to assume that he was not digging soil at the time.
3. JHJ’s birthdate, as we all know, is May 9, 1980; JGS, on the other hand, was born on August 4, 1987. JHJ, therefore, is older than JGS by 7 years.
4. Since the photo was taken in 2008, JHJ was 28 years old then, while JGS was 21.
Okay, now you can draw your own impressions about the pictures based on the information I shared with you.
Trivia time! Did you know that…..
….. JHJ and JGS were in a drama together but never had a scene together? The drama is “Daemang” (Great Ambition 2002), where JGS plays the younger version of Han Jae Suk, the actor who plays the older brother of Jang Hyuk. JHJ, as we all know, plays the role of the Prince Regent. The Prince Regent becomes entangled in the lives of the two brothers only when they are already adults, hence there is no chance for JHJ and JGS to be together in one scene.
….. JGS once took over a role that was initially meant for JHJ? The drama is “Hong Gil-dong”, and the role is that of Chang-hwi, the prince-in-hiding. JHJ was originally meant to play that role but he dropped out of the drama, and the role went to JGS instead. If JHJ had taken that role, that would have been his third prince role; fourth, if we count the one in “That’s Good” where he appears as a prince in a dream sequence.

Well, I think there’s something wrong with the cut of that T-shirt, or is it meant to be worn with it slipping off one shoulder? JHJ is wise to wear a grey T-shirt/vest underneath it. JGS’s diamond ear stud draws more attention than his T-shirt, and he does not look 7 years younger than JHJ!
I remembered in this website has JHJ’s T-shirt photo which another actors wore the same copy but who is more smart 5555? Really JGS is younger than JHJ! unbelievable.
