Welcome to 2009 in Jung II-woo’s Professional Life!
Jung II-woo went back to his busy filming and modeling schedule this year. He worked so hard! He continued to film “The Return of Iljimae” and was happy when the first episode aired on January 21st of 2009, with a rating of 18.5% in all of South Korea! This drama helped Jung II-woo not only grow as an actor but as a person as well.
In April, the day after “The Return of Iljimae’ aired its last episode, Jung II-woo left on a one month European vacation. He first went to London where he did a photo shoot for Elle Girl Magazine, then continued on to Germany and Spain.
Right after he came back, Jung II-woo prepared for his First Fan Meet in Japan. He practiced his Japanese a lot! He made his Japanese fans so happy singing and even playing a Biwa (a Japanese Lute). He then jumped into his next project, the drama “Take Care of the Young Lady” or “Lady Castle.” where he played a rich lawyer.
After “Take Care of the Young Lady,” Jung II-woo had a cameo appearance in High Kick 2. He also endorsed Nix Shoes and Jeans this year and appeared in various magazines. Last but not least! He participated in various charity events through Hanyang University and other institutions.
