Clarification — we don’t know yet which men’s magazine JHJ will appear in, just that it will be Korean. The photo above is a sample.

And of course we will be getting the magazine. Who’s interested? Write to us: jhjfans@gmail.com

usa4jhj, you are the smartest of us all! You are right, of course. JHJ is back with a BANG!

Reading all the comments after his announcement to pose in the magazine, I think JHJ is very smart in his decision because good or bad he got people’s reactions and attentions. He put it on notice that HE IS BACK! It’s another side of him that people have not seen and maybe he didn’t even know existed until now.

Some magazines are for men and some magazine are for women. We read “Sisters”, “Ladies”,etc. It doesn’t mean that we are lesbians (女同性戀). It just means that the contents of the magazines are more suitable for females.

Thank you Prissymom I think Men’s Health Magazine is a normal magazine not for Gay, right. Before your latest reply I try to read and read many times I understand this post and you Prissymom confirm my perception. If not Gay magazine of course I support you JHJ.

Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts on this issue. Your opinions helped me look at this thing in a better light.
I guess part of the reason I reacted negatively to this issue is the reaction of some fans in other websites. WuliJHJ used the right word in saying some fans were “salivating” at the thought of JHJ exposing his mascular upper torso in a men’s health magazine. I didn’t expect such a reaction from JHJ fans. I expected them to treat JHJ with more respect, and not as some piece of meat to “salivate” over.
But here in this website the comments are more subdued and more respectful of JHJ. Looking at the covers posted by wuliJHJ, I realize that there is indeed nothing wrong with those photos. WuliJHJ is right when she said that JHJ will not do something to make his fans ashamed of him, and blesstim is right when she said JHJ is wise enough to know not to do “smut”.
Because of the comments here I think I will be more comfortable when JHJ’s pictures come out in the Men’s Health Magazine in August.

All of you, what’s up for JHJ, what kind of Man magazine and when, which photos? I confused. KOW did not explain anymore.

michelle, thanks for reminding me of that scene which is very innocent and sweet. Is JHJ naked from the waist up? How come I don’t remember that? I must watch FL again.

wulijohyunjae,

Yes, I mean the part after Han Young-Woo and the girl get all soaked in the rain on the beach.

“Because of the rain, JHJ put off his wet shirt in the hut. When the girl falls asleep, JHJ kisses her lightly. In a second, the girl wakes up. JHJ becomes shy and runs out. He pours cold water to cool down himself. “

usa4jhj, nothing wrong with those magazine covers – just hope JHJ’s is done in good taste and style. Don’t know what the guy in the bottom right photo is showing. Is he a star?

michelle, do you mean after Han Young-Woo and the girl get all soaked in the rain on the beach? I only remember JHJ with his wet shirt clinging to his body (so sexy!) The James Bond comparison is interesting – JHJ once said he’d like to act in a Bond-type movie.

i agree that the photos in the magazine above were done in good taste–no malice at all. i have seen pics of good korean actors with their upper torso exposed and the reaction i felt was that of admiration of how great the Creator made the human body…i guess because the ones i saw were done in good taste.. so i guess that’s what we should pray for–because there’s no need for a great and much-loved actor like JHJ to do smut–and i believe that he is wise enough not to do it.

Ladies…What is wrong with the magazine pictures above? They have beautiful bodies! Now If JHJ can show us a body like that with his face, WOW !

Don’t miss “First Love”. The scene in the oldest version of “First Love” (I find it in a chinese website, not in the chinese DVD I bought) is very lovely. JHJ showed his flesh in a healthy way.

I strongly agree that we have to allow JHJ to grow up and we have to trust JHJ’s decision.

However, I hope JHJ’s management company really treasures JHJ as a long-term partner.

The style of James Bond (the oldest one) is good. He looks like a gentleman, but he also has very good figure and muscle.

prissymom, we firmly believe JHJ will not do anything that will make his fans ashamed of him.

prissymom — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 01:53:28 +0000

wuliJHJ, reasons I remember those scenes are (1) the scene in Scandal is my fave, not because JHJ showed some flesh, but because of his brilliant acting. No dialogue whatsoever and yet he was able to convey all the things that the character was feeling in that scene; (2) picture of JHJ with his top off in Gumiho is almost always posted on his soompi thread. Like you said, it is rare for JHJ to show flesh, so photos of the rare times that he did gets posted every once in a while in his soompi thread.

When I think of JHJ, I also see him clothed, that’s why news of him posing with his upper body exposed discombobulated me too much!

prissymom, I stand corrected. It’s just that every time I think about JHJ, I always see him with clothes on.

WuliJHJ, you forgot the scene in Scandal with Lee Mi Sook, and the one in Gumiho where he was in the police station’s locker room (he was changing clothes hence the show of flesh). But those scenes were necessary, part of the natural flow of the story. The men’s health photo spread came out of nowhere – I was blindsided. It is a disruption, a major upheaval in my JHJ world. But I have always said that JHJ fans should allow him to “grow”, if he feels that this move is ncesarry for his “growth” then so be it. I am still not happy about it (I have stopped crying about it, at least), but I can live with it. I hope the photos will be in good taste too.
