Jo In Seong vs. Kim Jeong Hun.
Having been observing the above two Korean heart-trobs who are my No 1 and No 3 Kfavs, respectively, they are as different as chalk and cheese! In Sung is manly, fair, tall and handsome whereas Jeong Hoon is girly, darker complexion, not as tall and pretty!

Jo In Seong is a sweet talker and always politically correct in his replies to the press, to the extent that he almost never gives his opinion, treading carefully so as not to offend or tread on toes of people. At the ’Hanryu Romantic Festival 2007’ was held on 23 June at Japan Goodwell Dome, he was introduced as the one who sweet talks the most. Gong Yoo explained, “although I am not sure how he is towards women, Jo In Sung sweet talks to his seniors and juniors. If you ask him where he is now over the phone, he will reply “I am in your heart, hyung (older brother).” (laughs).

Kim So Ra who acted with Jo In Sung in Madeline, echoed the same comment when talking about Jo In Seong during an interview last year.

After the controversial ending of Korean drama: What Happened in Bali where the character he played Jang Jae Min shot the other two lead characters and then shot himself on his head on the beach in beautiful Bali, Jo In Seong was asked whether he would have preferred the drama could have ended in another way, he said something to the effect that he is a junior in the industry, so the writers ended the drama correctly.

To illustrate his usual non committal replies, Jo In Sung was quoted as saying in the above Hanryu Romantic Festival when he was asked the question “which role does he feel closest to his real self”, Jo In sung threw the question back to the audience and asked them “which role is the most similar to me??” Most of them answered “Jung Jaemin in What Happened in Bali” and he received cheers from the audience when he replied wittingly “yes I feel the same way as everyone”.

The instances where he spoke candidly were his comments about the two female co-actors whom he worked with closely, i.e. the recently married Park Kyung Rim (Jo In Seong played her love interest in the Non Stop series, it was comical just watching them together, he was younger, handsome and tall and she was short and squat in comparison) and Ha Jiwon, (in What Happened in Bali). When he was first introduced to Park Kyung Rim´s fiancé, he thanked (tongue in cheek) him for rescuing all the other Korean men by marrying Park Kyung Rim. On Ha Jiwon, he said that she was like a man (I need to clarify what I think he meant was during the shooting of Bali, the crew went out for drinks and Ha Jiwon had never refused an invitation to drink with the guys) but he respects his Jiwon nuna and both of them mutually agreed during separate interviews that they wish to work with again. They kept in touch even after Bali ended and she advised him on his acting in A Dirty Carnival. (watch these 2 actress in the clips in my previous post, in the link below)

Jo In Sung was told he would not succeed as an actor

Jo In Seong will be celebrating his 26th Birthday this Saturday, 28th July. I do not know how he will be celebrating it but it can be quite sure his side kick, Kim Ki Bang (the short stumpy kitchen helper who did the butt wriggling dance in the Jin Hyeon´s restaurant aka Xman in My Name is Kim Sam Soon) and Gong Yoo (his gym and drinking buddy) could be drinking with him provided he could tear himself away from shooting Coffee Prince.

On the other hand, Kim Jeong Hun bores us with so much details in his lengthly interviews and he loved to regurgitate the story of his mom sending him out of the house naked during winter (before anyone getting excited, he was 5 years old). I liked the best about him being caught using the Ladies Toilet because the Gent´s toilet ran out of toilet paper. So logical and true to life happening that I could related with. I too have used the Gents when the Ladies toilet was occupied. I guess it is his way to tell such embarrassing news himself before they get reported out of context by gossips! Smart strategy. (NB: Baby cheeks has changes his earrings from diamonds with gold settings to sapphire with platinum. Hmm, those dark blue sapphires are typically from Thailand!)

Those who are fanclub or had followed Thailand visit news of Kim Jeong Hoon this time should know that he didn’t come alone as usual. “As a chance to visit Thailand, I intend to come to work and take my parent for a trip as well.”, he said. So to attach yourself to his parents (approach the son via the parents), OK! magazine (”OK”) had been allowed from the organizing team to introduce ourself to the father, Kim Shoon-Myeoung, and the Mother, Jung Jung-Bun, of the excellent son, Kim Jeong Hoon in very exclusive way. A little bit describing, “A tree is known by its fruit.” seems to be real for him particularly his sincere smile which is completely cloned from his parents.

OK: How do you feel that your son already became the famous star who are well-known across asia?
PARENTS: [Dad shinely launged prior to letting Mom to answer] It could be simply said that thanks to everybody who give love and chere our son. We’re very pround of him.

OK: Have you ever thought that he would be very famous?
MOM: Actually, we had never thought of it but as the parents, we’d put on a little hope that he would become a famous star though we had not expected his fame acoss asia like this.

OK: What about Thailand have Jeong Hoon told you?
MOM: Not only for jobs, Jeong Hoon really like Thailand. He usually tells that Thailand is beautiful and a good place for travelling.

OK: How is Jeong Hoon?
DAD: He has very high responsibility. Since he has been young, dad and mom have never told him what he should do. He is responsive and does everything on his own.

OK: Is it difficult to look after him?
DAD: No, he is quite a good boy, not stubborn, polite, and obeys his parents. He has almost never made any trouble to cause serious concern.

OK: Has he showed the potential to be the star since he was young?
MOM: No. Dad, mom, and himself had had the dream since he was young that he would be a scientist.

OK: Had you been shocked when he came to say at the first time that he would be a star-singer?
MOM: Initially, I’d opposed to it but our family allows for freedom in thinkg; therefore, I had not forbid anything but hope that he can perform well as singer-star and scientist as he intends to be.

OK. Does he have brother or sister?
MOM: I have 3 children. Jeong Hoon is the youngest. He has 1 brother and 1 sister.

OK: Have Jeong Hoon’s brother and sister thought of entering entertainment career?
MOM: This is unknown but one thing to tell, everybody are good at singing (sweetly smiled)
DAD: Whispering, the children sing well like mom (mom denied and smiled shinely).

OK: How do you support him?
MOM: Jeongh hoon does not like to lister to anyone’s muttering but he has his self responsibility so what MOM can do for him is to make him happy and confident in us.

OK: What do you worry most about this son?
MOM: It should be his health and I want him to be less greedy.

OK: How’s about a daughter in-law? Have you aimed at anybody?
MOM: Have not yet thought of it.

OK: Does she have to be Korean?
MOM: If it’s possible, I would like her to be Korean.

OK: Do you keep your son’s picture in the pocket?
MOM: Most picture are kept at home but the one I carry is the mobile strap with Jeong Hoon picture [turned to open the handbag]. This one was sent by the fanclub. [see the above pic.]

OK: Do you know that many Thai girls like Jeong Hoon?
MOM: Actually, feel thankful to Thai fans who give many supports to our son.
DAD: I’d never thought that there are so many fans who like him. Now it’s the responsibility of my son to work harder as a return to everybody especially for girls fanclub who always give him supports.

OK: What is the teaching that you always tell him?
DAD: Do at your best (replied with firmed voice).
