JHJ in second half of 2011 dramas

wulijohyunjae | June 30, 2011 | 9:42 am

 

Sorry – just a catchy title.  Actually JHJ’s face is superimposed on current (first photo) and upcoming Korean dramas.  We feel like crying again …..

Suits

wulijohyunjae | June 30, 2011 | 9:27 am

One of our editors just sent us the following under SUBJECT: “An unimportant JHJ news – but better than nothing. ”  We feel like crying ….

.

Men wearing suits – more colourful than women

We have only translated the captions:

Lee Byung-Hun – classic suit style

Jo Hyun-Jae – trendy suit style

Cha Seung-Won – unique suit style

 

 

We’re still waiting for that good news from the KOW, and we’re getting tired of waiting for nothing.

Reserved for you

wulijohyunjae | June 30, 2011 | 7:57 am

If it hadn’t been for all the MVs of “49 Days” created by Korean fans after the conclusion of the drama, we would have died of thirst!  This MV is set to the song by Korean singer  박유천 (Park Yuchun) – 너를 위한 빈자리 為你留下的空位   – “This seat is reserved for you”.

MV is set to song “I love you” by Japanese singer-songwriter 尾崎 豊 Ozaki Yutaka.

I Love You

I love you
I don’t want to hear a sad song right now
I love you
I came upon this room as I tried to escape

Our love wasn’t the type to accept little things
We were almost like two abandoned cats
This room is like an empty box covered with fallen leaves
That’s why you cried with a voice like a kitten’s

On top of this squeaky bed we gather “niceness”
If we hold each others’ bodies tightly
Then we close our eyes once again
So that our love doesn’t fade into a sad love song

I love you
Our love that is too young holds a secret to not separating
I love you
In my life right now I can’t just happen upon it

Our love that is turning into one
becomes scarred as we dream
You ask me numerous times whether I love you
Without this love you say that you cannot go on living

On top of this squeaky bed we gather “niceness”
If we hold each others’ bodies tightly
Then we close our eyes once again
So that our love doesn’t fade into a sad love song
Then we close our eyes once again
So that our love doesn’t fade into a sad love song

JHJ: A study in contrast

wulijohyunjae | June 27, 2011 | 7:30 am

 

Another quality article from our Contributing Editor prissymom.

.

One of the good things to come out of  JHJ’s involvement in “49 Days” is the amount of materials that fans who blog about him can use – screencaps from the drama, news articles, interviews (both print and broadcast),  pictures, etc.

I am especially ecstatic about the screencaps and pictures!   Thank you to all the fans who painstakingly took screencaps for 10 weeks!  Thank you also to the amateur and professional photographers who took such beautiful pictures of JHJ to accompany his interviews and during his public appearances.

My hands-down favorite is the one from JHJ’s Audi magazine interview, the one I used for his birthday poster.  We’re posting it again for your viewing pleasure:

 

.

Upon seeing this JHJ photo, a fan (in another website) commented that he looks like a hero in an Anime (Japanese animation).  Coincidentally echoing the words of Song Il Gook’s mother, Kim Eul Dong, who said that JHJ (as Seo Dong) is “very handsome, like a pretty boy who has stepped out of the comics”.   Or another reporter (from his post “49 Days” Interview 6 http://jo-hyun-jae.com/category/jhj-interview/) who wrote “Sometimes he is like a pure young man from the comics….”

I have never associated JHJ with anime or comics characters before, but I can understand why someone would say that he looks like a hero.  He does exude a heroic aura – quiet, trustworthy, steady, calm, handsome, strong, upright – all the qualities you would want to find in a hero-like figure in your life; all the qualities that make him effective as a romantic hero in his dramas.

But I love this picture so much for another reason — it is such a study in contrast …. JHJ’s clothes – metal studded black leather – and the bunched muscles of his forearms and neck give us an image of a very manly, very macho JHJ.  And yet the tousled hair and the soft lines of his face give off an aura of boyishness and gentleness.  As if JHJ is telling us that despite the changes we see in him, he is still, at heart, the JHJ we have loved and admired all these years – honest, quiet, unassuming, humble, low profile.

The bunched muscles of his forearm and neck seem to convey tension or about to spring into action, and yet the face is so calm, so without any trace of tension.  JHJ raring to go fulfill his dreams, but going about it in his own steady and calm pace?  Hmmmm, reminds me of the lyrics of his song “I SPREAD MY DREAM IN THE SKY”:

.
To face life steadily, truthfully, calmly. 
To find that forgotten rainbow light — my dream.

His stance – when I first saw this picture I thought JHJ is channeling Atlas – you know that mythological figure that carries the world on his back and shoulders.  Except that Atlas is depicted as kneeling and bowed down while carrying the weight of the world on his back – the very picture of endurance and stoicism.

In JHJ’s picture, only his head is bowed, his shoulders and the rest of his body are straight and strong.    His bowed head seems to say that he is acknowledging the inevitable things in life – challenges, obstacles and what not.  There will surely be plenty of that in the profession he has chosen.

But his straight shoulders and body seem to tell us that he is confident that he can handle whatever life will throw his way.

I love this photo for one more reason: because the photographer captured the true essence of our JHJ – perfect like a hero but very well-grounded, very practical; gentle but with a hint of steel underneath, and quiet but strong.
