Well, the Boson Marathoners would have certainly used some of this cold weather gear yesterday…if it wasn’t that heavy!  It rained/slushed most of the day…at times it was really hard… can you imagine that cold rain/slush hitting you in the face for hours?  I am in awe…

So the winners for this year were not the usual athletes from Kenya or Ethiopia.  My guess is that they are not used to the cold.  A Japanese won the man’s race and an American, first one since 1985 won in the woman’s. Bravo champions!  I admire you because I didn’t even want to walk to the gym in that weather!  (And I didn’t!) 🙂

The winners:

Yuki Kawauchi of Japan.

These were some of the items he sold.  A Cha Chi-soo jacket!  A Scheduler outfit!  The olympics shirt he wore when he carried the torch for the Beijing Olympics…  He autographed the items for the winners.  I wonder how much the Cha Chi-soo jacket went for…!

These are the things that Jung II-woo does that absolutely make him stand out for me.  A unique event like this, down to earth, full of kindness and love, selling personal items he no longer needs, for a great cause. Giving his fans a chance to spend time with him and his dog.  A win-win all around. This is the kind of event I would love to see him at…  just putting it out there in the universe…

Thank you to all the fans that documented this beautiful event!  You know how lucky you were to be there right?

 

 

Jung II-woo starts his Official Website www.jungilwoo.com

July 5, 2012

Jung II-woo started an account in Daum Cafe named “Ilwoostory”  in 2007.  This was and is his oldest social media account.  He used this acccount to inform fans about his events and to communicate with fans.  Daum Cafe is from South Korea, it is like Facebook for the USA and Weibo for China.  But as he started to grow out of the border of South Korea, he opened social accounts under other countries platforms and it became evident that he needed something in English bigger, that could inform fans from any country.

His management decided to open a sort of “Ilwoostory 2”, a website in English that could benefit any fans in the world:  http://www.jungilwoo.com.

At the same time he opened an official Japanese Website called Smilwoo.  This was his announcement on Tweeter on July 7, 2012.

I don’t understand a few things.  First off, why did he opened a separate Japanese Club, Website.  Why didn’t he house all his official Jung II-woo business in one place only… http://www.jungilwoo.com?  Wouldn’t that have easier?

I think there may be limitations in the different countries and powers that I guess that I don’t know about…that have made it this way.   I know that there is no Facebook in China for example.

Anyways,  I plan to expand on this as the story unfolds…  I have many questions… like: What made him abandon his official website later on? What are my chances as an international fan to get tickets for say an event in Japan?

Jung II-woo travels to Beijing, China to receive a Huading Award.

July 4th, 2012

Jung II-woo was the first Korean actor invited to China’s ‘Huading Award Ceremony’ held at the Beijing Olympic Gymnasium on 4th July.  He was awarded the “Grand Prize for an Asian Young Male Actor.  Next to him “Pancake” received the same award as an actress.

HERE in Korean.

Translation via Google Translate, with a few language adjustments…

Jung Il-woo wins the first prize as an actor.

Actor Jung Il-woo, who participated in the award ceremony for the Chinese Taipei, was the first Korean actor to win the Asian Male Actor Grand Prize.

This year’s award ceremony was held at the Beijing Olympic Gymnasium at 7 pm on July 4. The awards ceremony was extended to Asia this year as opposed to the awards ceremony held last year by only Chinese actors. Jung Il-woo was selected as a representative actor of Korea by local fans and participated in the red carpet and award ceremony.

Especially, this year, Asian male actors will be selected, professional judges will be screened, and tens of thousands of Chinese fans will vote for the best and most popular image in Asia including China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Hong Kong. It is selected and meaningful.

This award not only proves to be a Korean Wave star in China, but it can also be said to be a major achievement that has raised the status of Korean actors.

“At the festival, The Sun and the Moon was nominated for a Magnolia Award in the category of Best Foreign TV Series. Jung Il Woo, who was specially invited, attended the award ceremony on June 15. 

On that night The Sun and the Moon ended up winning silver which Jung Il Woo went up to collect on behalf of the drama. ”  Cr. Korea.net

Interview.  Cr. Oricon Style.  HERE in Japanese.

Jung Il “The common point of love expressions noticed by playing a prideful female favorite character”

“Korean young popular star, Jung Yi plays Cha Chi-soo” “Flower Boy Ramyun Shop.” Changing his own romantic emotion, noticed by playing the hero who is perplexed by the first love.”

– Have you not been confused by plays playful and playboy Cha Chisu?
Jung II- Chisu is cheeky from the usual, is not it? Language usage is also lacking in courtesy and it is all you want to say, so I could not understand at first, but when I think that there are living abroad and also the environment where he was raised I got to act naturally .

– Where on the other hand did you feel sympathy?
Jung II-  Chisu can not express love well even if he likes a woman, I think that there is similarity. I can confess if I like someone, but I can not put embarrassed words.

– You can not wink or praise a woman like Chi-soo…
Jung II-  I can praise the pros, but wink is really embarrassing and impossible (laugh).

– Although Chi-soo likes the heroine’s undo, he himself did not notice the feeling. Is there such an experience?
Jung II- When I was young, I also did not understand my feelings. I was suffering because I did not know whether my partner was favorable to me, I could not confess and missed my opportunity, sometimes I did not understand my feelings well. However, it is also necessary for actors to become sensitive to various emotions, so now they have become aware of various things.

– Among the drama, there were a lot of chest scenes with the heroine ‘s unpretentious, but when is Jon – Il’ s breasts cunning?
Jung II- For example, when you like someone, just thinking about that person makes my heart clunk. But I can not go into action right away. It takes time to associate, it is a type that starts dating after knowing the other party.
I would like to assist the cameraman.

– Have you taken any serious things while shooting?
Jung II-  In emotional acting scenes there was nothing particularly difficult or hard. But, the scene where I appear as Prince in the dream of the unbecomed was taken at the Lotte world in midwinter, it was very cold and hard.

– Chi-soo is a high school student who will play bye at a ramen shop, but is Chong · Il experienced a byte?
Jung II-  It is not. Because I was studying to enter the university in high school. If I am going to work part-time, I would like to be a photographer’s assistant. I am very interested in photographs, so if I do that byte I will be able to touch the camera a lot and I think that it will also be a study.

Jung II is majoring in acting at university. Have you ever worked on acting because you studied at university?
Jung II- At the university, the theory is centered, but I learned many things. From the professor I got advice on my heart as an actor, I still keep it in mind. In addition, I have participated in the stage of theater called “Beautiful Sunday” during college days, but I became able to perform acting easily after that play. This play was the work of Japanese screenwriter Mayumi Nakaya, and I was impressed by the performance.

– I heard that you are coming to Japan often at private, are you also interested in Japanese culture?
Jung II- If Naoki Urasawa was a cartoon, Haruki Murakami and Mr. Jiro Asada if it is novel, “100 million stars falling from the sky” “Queen of lunch” “Pride” “1 liter tears” I liked and liked it.

– What do you think is the charm of Japanese work?
Jung II-  The plot is dense, the hint is drawn exactly, where it naturally leads to the next event. I think that there is a wealthy emotion while drawing a light everyday life.

– So, what is the appeal of “You’re a handsome thank you” that appeared this time?
Jung II-  It has become a love story with a touch even though it is comical. I played Chris, growing up knowing love by meeting Unmo. I love the scene that Chis makes heartfelt rumen for the sake of undressing, so please watch it there.

What I am going to write about today has nothing to do with Jung II-woo.  It’s about Syria. Watching the country where I was born, Venezuela crumble during the past 20 years or so has been one of the saddest things in my life. What has happened in Syria is somewhat similar to what has happened in Venezuela in the sense that they both have governments have a large amount of their people that oppose them.  But there are two very distinct differences.  1) Nobody cares about what is happening in Venezuela.  And what I mean by this is that no other countries have any interest in either side.  But in Syria you have countries lined up backing either side and “helping them.” 2) What makes the situation in Syria worst than that of Venezuela is that the government attacks the people who oppose them in a much brutal way.  This last chemical attack is just one of their many brutal attacks. What makes me so angry and sad is the death of the innocent, the children.  The images are just too hard to believe.

Here is why I write this…  Look in your country for a way to help these Syrian children get medical help, water and food.  UNICEF is a reliable choice… they also have the political-social connections to get closer to the people who truly need it.  THIS is the link to UNICEF USA.

This is from an email I received today:

Here are some bright images perfect to start a Monday day of work.  They are like rays of sunshine!  After the photos I included some Japanese Magazine images where Jung II-woo is wearing the same polka dotted sweater.  Then after that the interview with KStyle.  Even thought it’s translation is a bit weird to read, you can get a good sense of the questions and answers by Ilwoo. It’s worth a read as he reveals some very interesting facts about himself,  like his high sensitivity to smells.

“You’re Beautiful Ramen Store” Jeong Il “The level of color is high and I got NG”
KSTYLE | May 09, 2012 18:16

– Introduction What was the impression of Synopsys or when reading a script?

Jung · Il: I thought it was very different from the drama I had ever had. Love comics are almost similar story, but in this drama it is made of ramen, the main character is also a chaebol in the high school student (not just a soda), the atmosphere was different. Especially since Cha Chisu character felt very attractive, I decided to appear.

– What was the scene that I thought was interesting to play the part that felt charm with the character, after reading the script?

Jung Il: Initially, the script was only raised for 1 or 2 episodes, the most impressive among them was the scene that Chis headed towards Unbee “This is a scroll, it is beautiful” (laugh) I approached Umbie at the escape toilet, but I felt that the scene to wink wink while saying, “Why are you aching your eyes?” In the unhappy misunderstood what to kiss. I thought that the character is very attractive like that, so greed. Actually, after deciding the appearance, I decided to switch to Cha Chisu unique to Jeong Il. So I also gave ideas for costumes and hair styles.

– There is “Kimuchikis” in the scene that called the topic, but there is an episode in filming?

Jung Il: In the script, there was a scene that licks the kimchi’s juice on the fingers of the unpadded leaves, followed by “I kiss the cheeks of the kimuchi’s juice with juice”. So, though I thought of acting on my own, I was told that the level of colorfulness was too high for the director NG came out (lol) It was the scene broadcasted that made the level of sexyness lowered (Lol)

– In addition, the aggressive kiss scene in front of the movie theater has become a topic.

Jung · Il: Chis takes out the unbee and kisses it, but it was a scene that showed affection for the first time. (Without introduction) suddenly kissed so strongly I got too much blood from the lips of Lee Cheong Ah (lol)

– What do you think Chis is attracted to what part of the unripe?

Jung Il: (Umbi hit a cheep that never had been hit by his parents) It was a person who gave himself a “feeling of humiliation” for the first time in his life, since there was no person who did such a thing to him until now, I think that I was born and liked it. If you meet a person you have never seen before, I think that will be the case.

– What is the percentage of possibility of falling in love with an actual Il?

Jung · Il: How is it … about 17.2%? (Laugh) Unee is attractive, but it is not my type. I myself like women with comprehension and commonality.

– What do they have in common?

Jung Il: People talking about food, talking about movies, listening music genres similar …… People who understand the story. A person with understanding to me is good.

– What if there is a point that makes you feel envious of chess? Also, on the contrary, why did not you sympathize with chess?

Jung Il: I was envious of being honest with my feelings. In my case, I can not say things straight when I am working. Because it makes a roundabout or as I say once after thinking. On the other hand, there was a scene that Chis took off the car from the car, but I could not understand saying such things unnecessarily to a woman.

– Such a cheese encounters a undo, changes, but what do you think is the most strange point?

Jung Il: I think that the point that a man who was individualist who only concerned himself, considering others or trying to understand is the most strange point.

– Chis is the first time I was born, I will make ramen for people (unborn). Does Mr. Il himself cook?

Jung Il: I think that it will take 4 to 5 times a year. I do not mean I can not cook. My heart will be warm if my friends and family eat deliciously and I feel happy while cooking. I want to cook more.

– Co-star Lee Chong-aa, Lee Ki Woo’s impression?

Jung Il: My brother Gui uses much care, but he is tall … … (laugh) Actually, the co-star who was taller than me was the first time. It was quite different from the usual point, so there was a part that felt a little pressure. Mr. Lee Chong-A had many aspects like unbee. So, it was easy for me to be able to touch like uncle, breathing also felt well.

– Chis has a special skill to drop a woman with a wink, but who is it used by Mr. Il to drop a woman?

Jung Il: I do not think so. But what I learned through this work is that no women do not like the word “beautiful”. So, I learned that it is a good way to praise it as “pretty”.

– In the drama, what you dislike about Chisu was “Body smell with being tainted with women’s tears and clothes”, how about Mr. Il?

Jung Il: I am the same except for the tears of a woman. Actually I’m really disgusting to put something on my clothes. Sometimes the car stopped suddenly and coffee went out of their way to change clothes and changed clothes. So, I read the script and thought it was the same as myself. Also, I am also sensitive to smell. As a matter of fact I like perfume, in fact all the perfumes I used in the drama were my personal items. Even if you are walking on the road, you turn around as you smell like you.

– Chis of Chinas grew up being told by his father, “You are caviar”, but what if you would like to compare Il himself to food?

Jung Il: (thinking of various things) I think that character like Ochazuke. Is it simple and friendly? There is a part that was fresh and crispy, and it is a type that enjoys life slowly, so I think that it is “Ochazuke” which many people will feel free to talk!

– What is the attraction and highlight of “Miyoshi Ramen Store”? Also, not limited to teenagers, what are the points you want to pay attention to?

Jung Il: I think that this drama is made of food as a material, and it can feel charm while stimulating appetite. There is also a comical part as a love story, and there is also a part that makes my heart warm. Besides, I think Cha Chis has the charm of magic, I think I will like any woman of any generation (laugh) The process of the process of life in which Chis encounters unpopular, the change of life, the love sightseeing It is becoming.

Wondering what “Ochazuke” is?  It is a Japanese Steamed Rice Soup made with green tea and topped with Salmon.  It is a soup that you eat at the end of the meal with any left over fish you had form the main part of your meal.   HERE is a bit more about it, including the recipe.   It’s interesting that he compares to a very simple soup…  maybe in the down to earth part I can see it… but I think Jung II-woo has a side that is not simple at all.  I think he cares a lot about everything and there is nothing simple in that.

I also felt sad when I read that part with him not being able to express his feeling freely…  he always has to be guarded, careful as he is a public figure… as we found out earlier last month.  But he can express himself completely freely at home… right?   I think we are living in a especially dangerous time… social media is like this monster, that can totally destroy you in seconds.  One bad thing you say and wham… the guillotine comes down!  But we must remember we are human beings and we will make mistakes… and we should see beyond the mistake a person has made.  Stay kind…  stay human!  Please remember that if I ever mess up in this website!  ^^

On a very personal level… my beautiful sister is having surgery on Tuesday April 10th. Her life has been very blessed but has also been hard as she has been raising twins while being a full time doctor. Sadly, the pressure and excess of work has taken a toll of her body.  Please send good pure energy and prayers!  May she recover and be well so she can get back to this (among many other many things!):

Jung II-woo in Thailand.

May 20, 2012

Around this time Jung II-woo travelled to Thailand on a personal trip.  He posted a few photos in Weibo.  I will only post those photos and a few from the airport.  The rest… the ones when he’s supposed to be relaxing but can’t because of his fans I will not.  He is the kindest soul to take all those photos… but I feel bad for him.  He really needed downtime as he had worked on three consecutive dramas.  That face on the first photo says it all…
