Jo Hyun Jae

Above MV shows clips of Jo Hyun-Jae accepting the Andre Kim 2007 Best Star Award, along with Kim Hee-Sun. Please also see video of event in our 2009.8.22 post “JHJ award-winning moments (4)” under Category: JHJ awards.

NOTE: MV is originally a flash – our resident computer genius turned it into this format.  When I was editing this post (before the change), I had to listen to the accompanying song continuously – oh, at least 30 times!  Nearly drove me nuts!  Who’s the uptown girl?  And is JHJ the downtown boy?

2007 Andre Kim Best Star Award

Andre Kim’s fashions may not be for everyone.  If you’ve seen one year’s, you’ve seen them all.  Whatever you think of his creations, there is no doubt that the “Best Star” is Jo Hyun-Jae.  He is the only one who can wear Andre Kim’s clothes and look regal and, well, not ridiculous.

2006  42nd Baeksang Arts Award (Most Popular Actor – for “Seo Dong Yo”)

The Baeksang Arts Awards of the Korean entertainment industry is equivalent to Hollywood’s Oscars.  These prestigious awards were established in 1965 and are presented in March each year.  Their objectives are to develop popular Korean culture and arts and are meant as a recognition for practitioners in the arts.  They are awarded to actors and production personnel whose works are most distinguished in the year from March 1 to end of February of the following year.  The Baeksang Arts Awards are the only general arts awards with multiple categories in Korea.

Transcript from video:

MC: Jo Hyun-Jae!  For his performance as Baekjae’s King Mu in the TV drama “Seo Dong Yo” — through his undying and unmitigated love for Princess Shinhwa, he successfully portrays the perfect love story of SDY.

JHJ: Thank you so much!  I feel very honoured to receive this meaningful and important  award.  To my fans who have been supporting me wholeheartedly and steadfastly, I offer my deepest gratitude.  And I cannot forget everyone who has helped me and cared about me.  I say to you all – Many thanks!  Thank you, everyone!

JHJ’s manager said: “Hyun-Jae feels that without his fans he would not have been able to win this award.  It is all because of you.  That’s why he is so happy.”  And everjohyunjaeKorea’s Master replied: “This is not our doing.  It is all the result of Hyun-Jae’s own hard work.  So please tell him to savour his own triumph.  Congratulations, Hyun-Jae!”.

Can you see the necklace JHJ is wearing under his fancy shirt?  According to everjohyunjaeKorea’s “sunwoo”, that is designed by everjohyunjaeJapan’s “kikue” in December 2005 and hand-delivered to JHJ by “sunwoo” in January 2006.   That JHJ wears this necklace on such an important occasion shows how much he appreciates his fans’ gifts.
