It’s your birthday! Today, 34 (33 Western) years ago, divine providence brought you to life! On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create …my dream come true!
Ilwoo Ssi, I wish you another WOOnderful year in your life! May it be filled with health, peace and joy. May you enjoy many lovely walks and learn and discover new things! Another delicious dish somewhere else in the world? I am so happy that life brought you to my life! May you be successful in your future projects, I wish you the very best as an actor! I hope to be with you another year supporting and sharing your acting, modeling, cooking endeavors with fans all over the world. I am so thankful for you and all the inspiration and daydreams you kindle within me…!
To celebrate your 34th birthday, I created 34 beautiful graphics using your photos. (More actually! That’s how much you inspire me!) I also created a new video. The first time I heard the song “I Adore You” by Harry Styles, all I could think was of you! I decided to use some of my graphics and incorporate them into the song with some of the most beautiful photo shoots you’ve had.. To me these graphics of you represent, the magical, whimsical, the fantastic aspect of life that cannot be defined in any human terms… love?! The miracle of you being in my life even though there are mountains and oceans between us… and this feeling that you are with me all the time manifesting in my life! Like when I was looking for a movie to watch the other night. As soon as I saw 34, through my intuition, I knew that it was the movie… I felt it immediately!… then when it related to the Boston Marathon… I was WOOed! ^ ^
Here is the video: Jung II Woo, I Adore You! (I know I share these feelings with many of your fans!)
Here are 34 of the graphics I created. I hope you enjoy them… they are filled with your colors, your beauty and … your delights!
It was so fun doing this! I finally made my dream come true of creating Ilwoo comic art! Thank you for all these amazing creative moments Ilwoo Ssi!
Hi! This is the last of the posts related to the “One More Time” MTV program with Jung Il woo. This post will cover the photo shoot part for Ceci Magazine. I now noticed how he is wearing a lot of “The North Face” clothing and accessories. I love that brand, I have a red backpack from them I’ve had for like 13 years! I also found some new behind the scenes photos which you will see below.
I started going to school in the middle of last week to get ready for this very extraordinary school year. My school will be going “in person” and “remote” at the same time. Some of our students decided to continue remotely. We have had so many meetings! Just the list of all we have to do Covid 19 related is overwhelming and understandably so.
I am feeling such contradictory feelings. One part of me can’t wait to see the kids and I think anything is worthwhile to give us the chance to be together in person again. But we changed so many things! And of course these changes bring fear… fear of the unknown, fear how we can epically fail! I’m thankful to Eckhart Tolle and all his teachings about “being in the present moment” because they are helping me a lot.
Another person that of course helps me greatly is Jung Il woo… he is a respite in the chaos, a place that I can go to mentally and that automatically makes me smile… ^ ^ I mentioned in Instagram, that my first day of school is the day of his birthday! It will be a crazy day… I really enjoyed looking at these Ceci photos again, in a way it felt like I am starting to say goodbye to the summer time… I pray the next one is Covid 19 free!
Here are the Magazine Photos:
And now let’s take a look at behind the scenes:
Where are you taking us next Captain Ilwoo?
Do you want a “ñapa”? (Bonus?) Alright… here it is:
I hope you leap full of joy and peace into your 34th birthday Ilwoo Ssi! Get ready…you are almost there!!! (33 Western) (His Birthday is September 9th)
I just can’t believe August is nearly gone! I am getting ready for school so I guess it’s true! Today I completed my CPR (First Aid training). There are some adaptations because of Covid. I went to school for a short demo with a small group of my colleagues. I felt such joy seeing them! Can’t wait to see my students… I will probably cry! How I’ve missed them… Anyways, ready for the last (Sadly) of the One more Time episodes? This is my favorite… I describe why at the end!
One More Time 정일우 – EP06 from DC ILWOO on Vimeo.
One More Time
Episode 6
00:43 while I am shooting my trip to Canada, I was quite nervous at the beginning because I did not know what to do. Thanks to help from the staff, It went much better than I thought and I was able to show myself as a real person. I came to like Canada much more than before. After watching this series, if you have a chance, please visit Canada.
1:17 Vancouver Island, when I first arrived here, my first impression was “relaxing and exciting”. I will spend my time here well and have fun!
1:28 Here is the town called “Chemainus” in Vancouver. If you follow these yellow footsteps, you can see all the murals in here. Now I will follow the footsteps and will see the murals. Lets’ go check out all the Canadian history at once.
2:15 8! I was thinking that it would be something like those inside a cave, but these are very modern.
2:28 One woman is waiting for me.
2:37 In front of here, shouldn’t we do “Indian bab”? (a play we used to do when we were young, hitting someone’s back with palms and guessing whose hand it was)
2:50 This person designed this mural village.
3:01 As I saw how people from the past lived, I was also curious how I was like in the past. How was I? Remembering the past of me is like a mirror that can see the future of me.
3:19 I can see the history and culture of Canada at once and It shows what were the interests for the people back then so it is an interesting place. I think it is the best to have a role for my age, such as a bright character. I want to do Romantic comedy. Any character is important, but there is a french movie called “Love Me If You Dare”. If we have a remake movie in Korea, I would love to be part of it. I like Josh Hartnett, Leonardo DiCaprio. I don’t want to direct a documentary, but I like to experience more so I want to travel with a bike or motorcycle. I think it will be awesome to visit where I haven’t been yet.
4:33 Victoria, A place where people say that the spring comes earliest in North America. Here is a city as it sounds like: cute and romantic. As I followed the streets near the harbor there were painters and people selling stuff. So I went to where the ships dock. Today is the last day in Canada. We will take a boat and see the whales and will end our last day in Canada, revisiting my trips to Canada. I heard that Killer Whales are seen a lot here. I am looking forward to seeing them. /what if you don’t see them?/ well, if I don’t then… just they must come!
5:30 When I was young, I watched a movie called “Free Willy”. Back then, I thought they were just cute animals, but in fact I got to know that they are one of the most intelligent animals in the ocean and very good hunters.
5:50 Oh look, isn’t it killer whales? 3!
5:53 Finally, we can see the killer whales. That one looks like a baby. That kid will also be a spectacular adult later, just like me who set a goal to be the best actor in the future. Hoping for that day to come, I took a picture.
6:14 Wow, good! Oh wow, really good shot!
6:18 I guess I am a lucky guy today.
6:23 I heard it is not easy to see the whales in the ocean, but I saw them today, it feels amazing and I was lucky today.
6:38 as an actor, I want to be a colorful person. Not just focused on one character, but I want to have a wide range of acting roles. I remember all my past roles. High Kick, my love, The Return of Iljimae, My Fair Lady, 49 days. All of them were important works and characters for me. When I think about the drama, I can think of all the memories from that time.
7:12 When I start the role, I watch similar works other people have done, especially I see Synopsis and scripts a lot. By doing so, I practice the way of speech, facial expressions. While I was doing 49days this time, I kept practicing with a recorder, changing my voice tones. I think it helped me with my acting. I also shot myself with facial expressions and practicing readings.
7:42 I want to get the best acting actor award, the most popular actor award, netizen’s award. Now I am not aiming to get any awards, but I am trying to find myself through doing each work one by one.
7:58 As I get older, I want to be someone who can show sincerity to other people. As I always try to be sincere and film the scenes with my whole heart, I really want the viewers to see that.
8:12 My favorite saying is, the old proverb, that “as rice ripe, it lowers its head”. I don’t want to lose my feeling I had when I first started, always be humble. I want to be that kind of person.
8:55 Trip to Canada, if you ask me what this trip was about, I will say that it is “my secret story that has never been spoken before”. The learning time that I can show who I am to the viewers.
9:07 It is my first time riding a motorcycle by the ocean, I feel amazing. Especially I love to ride motorcycles, and the staff prepared this for me. It makes me feel good.
9:55 mostly, I take scenery. In general, I only take scenery pictures. I hardly take pictures of people. At work, I was always the object who was taken, so I try to take photos of scenery, especially the clouds, lights. I try to take different kinds of photographs, and I am thinking of having my own photo exhibition later. That’s why I keep taking pictures wherever I go on a trip.
11:10 There are floating houses. They say people actually live there.
11:37 oh it is interesting. The bike. These flowers. Those flowers. And there!
12:14 This house looks pretty. It is built with glasses so you can see the sky. The colors of the flowers and the walls are going well together. The owner has a great taste. The privacy is almost non-existing here.
12:42 And these houses, you attach on the boat, and can move. Isn’t it cool? If you don’t like this neighborhood, then move to Southeast Asia and, if not, move to another… wow, it scared me.
12:56 I find it really “free” here.
13:03 My foreign friends earn money by doing some part time job, and then go on a vacation. Then comes back without money and work and then goes on a trip again. When I see people like that, I wish I was able to be like them. And that’s why when one drama is done, I try to go on a trip abroad.
13:36 Since I was young, I went on many trips with my family. After I became an adult, I went on trips with my friends. I also traveled to Korea. With friends, I went to Gangwon, Jeju.
14:10 Thank you guys! Have a fun trip! Bye!
14:25 oh! What is it! /1, 2, 3~/
14:30 Ilwoo, you did very well!
14:40 Did well, did well! Really!/ STOP! Wow, should I cry now?
14:49 Everyone, thank you for your hard work! Thanks to all of you, I think we have good footages. Thank you all! Let’s blow together, 1, 2, 3!
15:08 These are all anonymous letters to you. (from the staff members)
15:14 Who is it?
15:20 I am so moved!
(“we only have 15 minutes for this”)
15:30 I will read them one by one and cry.
15:45 We can taste a lot of different beers here. The time has come! I can finally drink alcohol on TV.
16:11 These places, not everyone can come inside.
16:28 He is explaining how beer is made. The beers made here are only available here.
16:57 The beer is not easily made. The smell is very interesting. It is hops. I am looking forward to the tasting.
17:15 I forgot that I came here for the party, because the owner was so enthusiastic about explaining the beer. Canada is an interesting place. But can we really show these secret recipes to the viewers?
17:30 Now we will drink the beers. In Korea, we have big breweries like a factory size, but here it is very small and we can taste the master’s special beers. He will give us 10 different tastes of beers and I hope I don’t get drunk much before the actual party. Let’s go! It feels like i am on a morning show!
18:10 If I do one shot, I turn red, so I will not. It’s so tasty!
18:39 He made this special beer for us. Special. Only we can taste this.
18:52 the beer with a long history tasted amazing. As if the good barley aged well.
19:24 “How was your trip to canada? Hope you enjoyed this trip, and remember this trip for a long time” and guessing who wrote it.
19:36”While travelling Canada, I was able to see ilwoo’s different sides, and hope we support each other and grow up together” it’s you, right? You?
19:59 Is it “mind reading” letter?
20:00 “It was good to meet Ilwoo. He was so bright and fun. I hope you become a bright , handsome, human loving actor.” It is from a guy!
20:23 It was nice to meet you. Hope to see you later when we have another chance.
20:48 I have never gotten letters from travel, it is so touching. Thank you for everyone who led me along the trip. Thank you!
21:22 Thank you my loving fans who watched my “One More Time”. I was too straightforward so I may have behaved something more than I should have, but thank you for watching the whole show.
21:36 Finally, it’s time to take a plane back to Korea. It was a very precious time here in Canada, and I am sure I will remember this time for a long time. I hope this “one more time” is also remembered by you. Bye everyone!
Photos… there are a lot of them!!! Some may not be from this episode but oh well!
WITAT
This is my favorite of all the episodes. I just love how he shares his passions and how excited and moved he is by the village, the whales, the ride of the scooter and the surprise by his staff.
I thought it was fascinating when he talked about how he prepared for his scheduler role trying different voices and expressions in the mirror! Oh how I wish I could be a fly in his wall to see that! I love his dedication and how hard working he is… I guess because I relate 100%. I have learned to stop myself though… and take time to smell the flowers! I think he has too. The fact that he can be gone from Instagram two weeks or more tells me so. And I’m so glad for him! Go live your own personal life Ilwoo… smell many flowers! We are not going anywhere…
It’s interesting to hear about actors that he likes… I have heard of several ’till now so maybe I’ll make a post about the movies and actors he has mentioned since very young. I find these probably feed him in a different way than when say I watch one. For me it’s about identifying more with the character, for him it’s probably that but also seeing the performance, how the character develops, the camera takes, etc. It’s a different view. It’s interesting because ultimately depending on what one does, I believe one perceives the world according to that lens… an architect probably notices the buildings and architecture, etc.
Here is the trailer of the movie he loved. Perhaps he had a huge crush on Marion. She is gorgeous and such a great actress! Looks like a fun movie… I can see why he’d like the competition part about it! ^ ^
And wasn’t he the cutest in reading all the letters from his staff… that was such a nice gesture from them… just like the staff from Sweet Munchies did all those videos we saw in Instagram. I made just one screen capture… of this moment… his eyes, his expression says it all…
… So full of love!
Well I hope you enjoyed finding out a bit more about what he said during this trip… For me it made such a difference to know what he says… he shares so much!
Hello! How are you? Here is the 5th part of ‘One More Time” with Ilwoo in Vancouver, Canada and its translation. One very cool thing about this episode is that we get to learn something that he did with his dad!… Yes! Read on!
Here we go:
One More Time 정일우 – EP05 from DC ILWOO on Vimeo.
Episode 5
0:40 this time at Victoria, I want to be serious and manly. I like to take pictures and love to take scenery from Victoria. Victoria is the final destination of my trip to Canada so I want to spend time there to wrap this trip up and think more about myself.
1:!5 Whitler was a beautiful place and I had a lot of fun. I said goodbye thinking that I will definitely come back later. Our next destination is Vancouver island. I am looking forward to this new destination but also I already feel that I am missing my past destinations.
1:58 You tortured me, so now….
Showing the prank scenes.
2:23 we have to revenge her with an awesome prank, so keep watching this!
2:44 She got irritated even before the prank started because Ilwoo and the PD wanted to change the concept of some scenes (for the prank but she doesn’t know it is a prank)
3:04 I will kill you!
3:10 Eyes to eyes. Teeth to teeth. I will pay back to you as I was given. Where? Here in this farm.
It is a real prank now!
3:27 The plan for the prank = the PD and Ilwoo don’t like the original schedule and the team has to change the concept of this episode. And Ilwoo doesn’t like the new concept as well.
3:40 Is this all? They are not babies, so let’s just move on (I think it will be the part of the prank scenes later)
3.54 The newly modified concept paper is lost because of the mistake of the stylist.
4:05 The reason why everything is messed up for today is because of you losing the paper. We are not here to shoot some beautiful scenery. We are here for a reality show. It is not some sort of a TV commercial.
4:20 I got you! You can’t control your facial emotions. I guess I will revenge you very well!
4:30 Ilwoo intentionally acts like he is annoyed and has complaints. And the writer (the victim of the prank) says do this and that, etc
4:45 I am going to give her back what I got from last time!
5:32 Here in Foxville feels as if I am somewhere rural in Korea. For sure, people feel the most comfortable when we are on the ground. I feel a bit sorry to start a prank in this beautiful place.
(prank started)
5:49 I don’t know why we are going to the farm. (the woman keeps explaining to feed them, etc )
5:58 We are going to experience the farm. Where is the modified concept paper?
(started acting)
6:23 Why did you lose it?
6:32 Well, the thinking you gave us a bit ago. (trying to hold laughter)
Byeongjin! Say something to them when these kinds of things happen!
6:52 A day in Foxville, I was so happy to experience something I have never done in daily life.
7:12 Byeongjin says “is there anything else than just feeding the cows? Really?
7:18 Is this really it?
7:23 Why don’t we give some food to baby cows ?
7:28 They are not babies! So let’s just skip this scene then. Byeongjin says “do you think the cows will eat if you just throw them some food?”
8:05 He intentionally pretends as if he is not enjoying any moment in here.
8:07 Why am I even up here? To clean these up? It gets worse!
8:20 Secretly talking to the camera “ I should start something really big, starting to add up the bad situations, and at the interview, I will explode!”
8:58 here I am “Life experience” (the Korean TV show about experiencing others lives)
9:06 I think the writer intentionally booked this location to make me in trouble. The writer then says “well, I wanted to show your masculinity to the viewers…”
9:32 When I was young, I went to visit my great grandmother’s and she had around 300 cows. She still raises them and when I visit there, I feed them, and play with them, etc. (so, basically he likes farming but intentionally acting like annoyed because of the prank)
10:19 I feel like I am making dough out of flour.
10:35 let’s go! Let’s go have some burgers.
10:55 It looks tasty, I want to have some! Bring my wallet here.
11:10 here they are. Sauces.
11:23 bon appetit!
11:35 where will the interview be at? Let’s not milk the cows!
11:48 Ilwoo and PD talking about how “she” is irritated by Ilwoo’s constant complaints.
11:54 when you said “let’s not milk the cows!” her face got dark.
12:00 why? She keeps glancing here. What should we do? Let’s do it now. We will do an interview here.
12:10 do you want to have another experience? No, let’s do an interview first!
12:19 I will say in the middle of the interview, “why in the world are we here at this farm?”
12:25 We will do the interview, but what I want to say is that in Whistler, we focused on activities, but here we wanted to show something more manly and serious version of me, but what can we even find something “serious” here? You (his other staff, she is also part of the prank) lost the modified plan paper. You told me to write down some questions for the interview, so I told the writer but don’t you think I need some time to think before the interview? Why so sudden? I told you guys, It is a reality show, we are not here for the scenery. It is not a commercial.
13:16 We do have some stories, though. What kind of stories? Feeding, experiencing the farm, milking the cows, playing with them. Can’t we have some fun time like this when we are on a trip? Isn’t it?
13:37 Well, in fact, I am an actor. I want to show something as an actor.
13:49 Well, I think you are here as Jung Ilwoo, not as an actor. You have to put the job as a secondary thing on this trip. Wasn’t it?
14:05 that’s not true. It is Jung ilwoo, the manly actor. This place is not showing anything on this concept.
14:17 the biggest problem is, questions? Questions?
14:23 Not only the questions, but Everything!
14:29 But we have to film anyway. (Areum, the staff came with the paper, crying)
14:34 Here is the paper!
And Areum said “It is a prank!”
14:45 Ahh, you come here! How can you do that to me!
14:57 Why are you doing this only to me! The prank was going on from yesterday!? Don’t film me!
15:14 But Youngho (the photographer) looked at this very seriously. I was doing some acting.
15:22 You were so calm. Yeah, you were too calm! I had to act harshly to trick her!
15:28 Hey, writer, wait! No Good! We need to film this scene again!
15:35 You can ask me now. Should I just answer all of them since I already know all the questions? Sure you know all the questions.
Q. Have you ever had farm experience?
15:53 When I was young, my great grandmother had cows. I went there and saw the cows and I also milked them and played with them. I felt something here in Canada, that I am so busy in Seoul, just under much stress and just constantly working, but here I feel very relaxed and I want to raise some cows and have a happy life with my future family when I get old.
16:38 Then now I will taste wine.
17:09 He is giving a “sorry” toast to her.
17:14 No, I have nothing to say sorry to her! She is the person who pranked me first! I will prank one more time.
17:33 When you are in Canada, Barbecue is something you must try. Let’s see if it is as tasty as Korean beef.
17:48 if I buy this but if they already serve meat there? Today’s dinner, I will cook for the staff. Everyone, wait for it.
18:13 When I was in 5th grade, I went to the Baikal lake in Russia with my father. I remember we were talking just like now looking at the lake. And that was the first time I went on a trip with my dad. When I went on a trip abroad, I always worried about what to do when I got back to Korea. But this time, I think I am enjoying Canada alone, and I feel relaxed, which I love a lot. Whenever a drama finishes I always think about what to do and when to do for the next drama.
The music I can think of now? I love the movie called “closer” It is a song called “the blower’s daughter” by Damien Rice. it is very calm.
19:57 these are the ones I bought from the market. Ah, it is so hot. Today we are having a BBQ party. I am trying to do steak. I have a secret weapon later. “Looks like you have never done it before” yeah, I have never done outdoor before.
20:32 Ilwoo cooked it for us, bon appetit.
20:44 Around a year? No, one and a half year, I only heard that Ilwoo is good at cooking and it is my first time having his food. I heard there is something more to come out, I will see what that is.
21:05 In normal days, ilwoo and I eat together at home. It feels good to have his food here as well.
21:!3 it is ssamjang. Steak and ssamjang!
21:20 it is so tasty!
21:23 Everyone says that the BBQ I did is so good!
21:32 Now is time for bibim noodles. First, boil the water. I bought the noodles from Korean store. Put some kimchi sauce. I washed my hands so it is ok. You can smell the kimchi. Don’t forget about the sugar. If you don’t put sugar, the taste is a bit stuffy. Now , it is time for the noodles. How much time you boil the noodles is very important. Please hold it for me.
22:27 you have to put noodles like this, and stir the noodles.
22:45 the noodles are moving out. Ah, it is so hot!
22:53 Q. What is something you should be careful while you are cooking?
22:56 Fire! I think it is almost done. I need to taste it first. With my hands. All cooked, all cooked!
23:12 to the toilet! To the bathtub. Oh! You should hold it for me.
23:22 oh, wait, too much. Do something about it. Put it down. It is hot! These, these. Gets worse.
23:42 don’t film this! It is not good.
23:54 are you really sure you have done cooking before?
23:58 well, the noodles were just too much.
24:03 Now I think I admire those ajummas at the noodle shops. How can they deal with this much of noodles at once?
24:10 ah, my cooking.. It is my worst nightmare.
24:22 noodles taste the best with hands.
24:34 it really looks nice.
24:39 staff: ‘if they want more…’ ilwoo: now, bring me the bowls!
24:42 staff: more? Ilwoo: no no, wait
Staff: bowls please. Here we go.
24:53 now, quickly quickly. Let’s eat quickly!
25:20 he sees the noodles are entangled.
The girl says “you should eat them all though!”
Ilwoo says “just eat!”
staff says “is it a set menu? Like combo”
25:34 it is tasty, isn’t it? Right?
Yeah, actually very good!
25:58 He has not eaten yet.
We filmed all, so I am sure they will edit them to look good.
(In the background, they are talking about jokes about something which I can’t understand.)

Jung Il woo posted these photos in his Tweeter back then:

(What I Think About This)
I felt a bit sad for Ilwoo in this episode. I had no idea about what was happening! The prank was a bit long and too much… no need to prank him anymore I thought! And instead of just filming his natural reaction to things, it feels too set up…
And it also makes me sad when he talks about feeling relaxed and not having to worry about the next drama. l wonder how he feels now with this situation where his possibilities are even more limited… I hope he’s not too hard on himself. It really is not the time for that…
I looked up lake Baikal where he went with his dad… this is where it is:
It is one of the biggest lakes in the world… the 7th. And the deepest! It’s gorgeous! The water is so clear! I’m glad he had this time with traveling with his dad…
This short National Geographic video will tell you more about it…!
I also thought about the part where he says “I am so busy in Seoul, just under much stress and just constantly working, but here I feel very relaxed and I want to raise some cows and have a happy life with my future family when I get old.” I hope you get there someday Ilwoo Ssi… but do remember that no one can bring you happiness, only you can, happiness comes from within… not from outside, no one can make you happy but yourself! And it’s not something to be set in the future… it is in your NOW!
Jung Il woo is featured in the upcoming issue of the Japanese Magazine called Korean Style Pia. He modeled with a branch of plum flowers… an Iljimae inspired photo shoot! Credit to IG @ jungilwoojpfan912 and @ anpan.0225
I updated below with the short promotional video he made and some screen shots I created, including the heavenly ones! ^ ^
Haven’t seen The Return of Iljimae? It’s one of his best historical dramas… you can find more information about it HERE.
Ready to delight… here we go:
These are another version…
This is what the cover looks like:
Update September 6, 2020
Jung Il woo created this short video for the magazine as well…
Did you see the show?! … it’s available in English! Keep reading further down for where to watch it if you haven’t. It’s out in short highlight videos at MBC’s YouTube Channel so I’m going to include them here. They might also subtitle them later on…
This is the best one… it includes a lot of Ilwoo parts:
This one is included in the above one:
In this one Ilwoo talks a bit more:
This is what I had posted before:
August 18, 2020
Hello, are you excited to see Jung Il woo with Na Mun-hee? I wonder what new nugget we’ll get to find out!
So there are two ways to watch this show:
“Kisstvshow” It’s free. Do a Google search for kisstvshow radiostar. You should see a direct link. Sometimes you’ll get a few pop windows so just go back to the original screen. (I think you can watch this from anywhere in the world…)

Here is another article fresh of the press, though its Google translation is not too good:
‘Las’ Na Moon-hee “When my body and heart are tired, tears pour out because of Jung Il-woo”
Actor Jung Il-woo is going to a sortie as a “Radio Star” special MC for senior Na Moon-hee, who breathed with a “high kick without hesitation,” and is holding a ceremony for the entertainment MC.
Na Moon-hee will confess that he expected Jung Il-woo’s “Las” appearance test, and will reveal an anecdote in which tears were poured out because of his junior Jung Il-woo, who is no less than a “steamed grandson.”
MBC’s’Radio Star’ (planning Sooyoung Ahn/Director Haengho Choi), scheduled to air on the 19th, will be decorated with a special feature of’Late Mangju (?)’ with Moonhee Na, Heejun Lee, Wonyoung Choi and Suji Lee.
In the special feature of ‘Late Manchu (?)’, Jung Il-woo appears as a special MC and shares high-class laughter and warm episodes with guests. Jung Il-woo decided to appear as an MC for “Lass” for Na Moon-hee, who had a heartfelt relationship after breathing in her debut sitcom “High Kick Without Hesitation”.
On the other hand, Na Moon-hee expected that Jung Il-woo would consider appearing in “Las”. Moon-hee Na reveals the reason and makes her curious about their story by saying, “This is such an adult~” to Jung Il-woo and saying that she could not hide her smile.
In addition, after the release of the movie “I Can Speak,” Na Moon-hee is invited to several film festivals and at the same time confesses that she suffered from shingles severely while carrying out the drama schedule. He raises curiosity by revealing an anecdote that poured out tears because of Jung Il-woo at a time when both body and mind were exhausted.
On the other hand, “late mangju (?)” who turned to actors while walking on a different path, Na Moon-hee, Lee Hee-joon, Choi Won-young, and Lee Su-ji will reveal audition tips based on the episodes and experiences of watching numerous auditions for acting. Hee-jun Lee, a “realist” and Won-young Choi, a “romanticist,” said that they gave tips on how to tell the story.
The secrets of the actors’ management are also revealed. Na Moon-hee, who is still passionate enough to challenge her first action acting in the 60th year of her debut, reveals the reason for visiting the market and sauna even when there is no schedule, while she confesses that she is nagging her best friend Kim Young-ok because of her excessive passion. Is expected.
Moon-hee Na and Il-Woo Jung’s episodes of ‘Strengthened Grandchildren’ can be confirmed through “Radio Star,” which airs at 10:50 this night.
As I commented in IG, Ilwoo looked like a fresh piece of lettuce! He looked so clean and healthy! Just perfect really! That shirt was so beautiful too. It made him look so light, soft… almost angelic like.
I wish Ilwoo would have been on the other side! But it must be so nerve racking! When they invited him to come back as a guest, his “neh” was like “No way Jose!” Even as an MC, Ilwoo seemed a bit like a fish out of the water… not in his element. He did his best as always reviewing his cards and trying to keep up. He was such a sweetheart to be there for Na Mun-hee.
Hello! How is your August going? I hope you have been enjoying great weather. If you are send some sunshine thoughts and prayers to Ilwoo and his beautiful country… they are pretty soaked in South Korea with almost two months of daily rain. And not just a little, it’s the monsoon which was supposed to start mid June and end at the beginning of July… this year it was first delayed and then it over stayed.
Ready to continue traveling with Ilwoo in Vancouver? Here we go!

One More Time
Episode 4
1:10 Whistler is filled with many people all year round. In winter, for skiing and in summer for mountain bikes or ziplines. Today is the day we are going to ride a mountain bike, so I want to show my other cool side. Let’s depart to the bike road!
2:42 I could feel how thrilling it would be when I am on the lift. How will it feel if I ride a bike on this high place? When I see people below me, I really want to ride as soon as possible.
3:25 Why am I doing this?
3:34 I think it is really different from the normal bike, balancing is the most important, and put your pedal side by side and then you can balance yourself.
3:54 Well, the practice is done, so I will go ride down. I heard it is around 40 minutes, I will try not to hurt myself and have fun riding. Fighting!
4:26 Just like the fast speed of the bike, I was not able to think anything. Just the road and bikes ahead of me, and my fast beating heartbeats. The reason why I am happy now is because I don’t have to think of people’s looks on me, and I don’t have to listen to anything and I am enjoying my own trip.
5:10 It is the best! So fun! Awesome!
5:24 The one I did is for beginners but still it is quite dangerous and very exciting. Look at me!
6:00 I rode my bike and did photo shooting and came here.
6:10 Wow! So cool! Wow! What I can say is just Wow!
6:35 I can’t think of anything but just wow. I feel like I am a part of the myth of the mountain. Standing like this.
6:48 Endless.
6:56 The one you can see now is the emblem for the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and it has the meaning of welcoming, opening arms wide.
Finally Pyeongchang, Korea is decided to be a host of the Winter Olympics 2018. I am in the place where the 2018 Olympics was held and I feel something different here. I am really happy about it. I expect our athletes to do their best. Everyone, fighting!
7:47 The gondola/cable car you see there is the one that goes to the highest point among gondolas in the world and it is 4.4km long and can get to the end in 11 minutes. I think it is so beautiful.
8:19 We have never taken any pictures together!
8:39 Today was a long day. The mountain bike riding was very exciting and the photo shooting was good. It was a very productive day. That being said. Look at this! I bought some wine for the staff members. It has been 5 days and it means half of our tour is over. And I want to have this time to make us cheer up more.
9:38 Peanuts, cherries, my favorite fruits. That’s why I picked them. My other loving food, Olives. I really like them. Dispensable wine glasses. Cheeses as well. Ah, I thought there will be some sort of guidance about how the show should go, but it is really a “reality show” so there is nothing like that. It is so hard for me. Now we will start the party. Wow! There he is! Our PD is here. Then I am going to let him film me.
10:39 We are on the half way through the end of our journey and I want to use this time to solve some problem we might have among us unintentionally, and have a good time to cheer us up to end our journey well. Today Jung DJ will pick songs.
11:06 I like listening to songs. What is funny is that whenever I do acting roles, I always have one specific I have in my mind. While I was filming “49days” there were many songs but IU’s “Only I didn’t know” and among the lyrics there is a verse “There is no such thing called ‘good farewell’”
11:33 I really have to say farewell to someone on the drama and that song really helped me.
11:50 I have a memory that I just liked a girl one way and ended without anything while I was in high school. And there are situations that two people like each other but because of the situations you have to break up. And there was a case like that to me as well.
12:15 someone just knocked on the door, who is it?
12:21 welcome! Come in!
12:40 I am not good at peeling apples, how should I do?
12:50 I almost cut my fingers.
Staff is saying if he can cook like this everyday but Ilwoo said just one time is already tiring.
13:02 Should you combine them? Can we actually have a party tonight? are these wine glasses?
13:20 Yeah, we have passed our half way and everyone did their best and we have a lot of things left to do. Everyone cheers!
13:40 I want Ilwoo who is in his mid 20s, who is actually very good at taking care of his staff, and from now on as well I hope he takes care of his staff more.
14:07 People consider him as a cold person when you don’t know him but when you are next to him, he really takes care of you.
14:26 When I see him, I feel that he takes care of other staff than me (he is the manager of Ilwoo)
14:38 Ahhh, no! I feel sad. You know how much I take care of him. It is a group so I can’t take care of everyone here. Normally, I spend 24 hours with him because we always go everywhere together. During that time, I always put you first and take care of you but when I am out here, there are ladies here. And there is a thing called “ladies first.”
15:05 That’s why you put the “lady” Jung Sera “first” to bungee jump.
15:34 the weather today is much better. (do you think about the stew for hungover?) Well, I have my own way to deal with it. The day after I drink a lot, I want to eat Cream Pasta. They say there are people who like something greasy like Black noodles, but I am more into cream pasta. Normal days, I don’t eat cream pasta but after drinking I like to eat cream pasta.
16:38 My oldest uncle (dad’s brother) rides his bike everyday at the Han river park. I want to join him at least several times a week. Riding a bike really helps you more than you think and it is a whole body exercise.
17:02 The weather is hot, drunk alcohol, why not ice creams?
17:26 We have been to many big cities this time, including Vancouver and Whistler, but our next destination is Victoria, the calmer place. We will do many activities there, one of them is visiting a farm. I will show you a more serious version of me.
18:10 Hongdae is also known for street performances but Other countries are more developed in street performances everywhere you go. Shall we go have a look?
19:06 These? For men? I bought them!
19:37 Today is the last day at Whistler and I was looking forward to seeing beautiful scenery about this city but, as soon as we were on the forest road, it became just a mere hope. Until this time was good.
20:13 The shaking car, the sky and the trees looked at least multiplied (too shaky) Whistler never disappoints me and that’s why I like you!
20:35 I feel like I am here for a documentary. What is going on?
20:53 Why are we even here, really!
21:15 eh! It is nothing! It is not difficult to do!
21:28 I wanted to go on a trip with Minho from Flower Boys and I had a car accident so I was not able to go. I have a good friend from middle school, and he is studying in London, and we met in London and travelled Europe together. Since I am not that young anymore, I think it is a good idea to travel with my friends. I think just having one backpack and going on a trip will teach me something so I am considering a trip abroad.
22:12 Hey my friends, I am sorry that I was not able to meet you guys when I am busy. You will know when you start working how difficult it is to have free time. I only have friends from middle school. I think of them as my forever friends and I don’t think we will hate each other because of little things, and we trust each other and support each other. Let’s have fun lives! Fighting!
Yes! Jung Il woo will be an MC! and Na Mun-hee will be a guest in the TV show called Radio Star in MBC. This show hosted by Kim Gook-jin, Kim Gura and Ahn Young-mi. It airs on MBC on Wednesdays at 10:50(KST). The first episode aired on May 30, 2007.
This is an article translated to English form the pop.heraldcorp from August 11th. Original in Korean.
“While Na Moon-hee is on an outing for entertainment through ‘Radio Star’, Jung Il-woo took the special MC.
According to the broadcaster on the 11th, Jung Il-woo will shoot as a special MC in the MBC entertainment program ‘Radio Star’, where actor Na Mun-hee is scheduled to appear.
Na Moon-hee is the movie’Oh! Ahead of the release of ‘Moonhee’, it is expected to appear in ‘Radio Star’ and release various episodes about the work. Na Mun-hee, who was not easily seen in usual entertainment, is raising expectations about what kind of talk and artistic feeling he will show.
In particular, special MC Jung Il-woo is known to have steadily maintained a strong relationship with Na Mun-hee through his debut work, MBC sitcom ‘Unstoppable High Kick’, so he is also interested in the chemistry that the two will show.
Meanwhile, the movie’Oh! ‘Munhee’ is a rural investigation drama performed by Oh Moon-hee (Na Mun-hee), the only witness of a hit-and-run accident, and Doowon (Lee Hee-jun), the son of a stage show who does not cover fire. It is scheduled to be released on September 2nd.”
Ready to understand what he said in part 3? I was surprised to find out that the poor guy was not feeling well after that Bungee jump… read on!

One More Time
Ep 3
0:39 My hobby is soccer. I like to play soccer with my middle school friends. I play a soccer game called “winning”. I want to show the viewers some sort of activity. I want to have a leisure life and have never done bungee jumping yet, so I would love to try it.
1:13 We departed to Whistler in the morning. Vancouver was amazing but Whistler, where we can see snow all year and has many lakes, sounds like a more fitting place for me who enjoys a leisure lifestyle. However, while I was thinking about fun things in Whistler, the plan for pranking me was going on.
1:38 From this time on, our staff was seriously planning on the prank. Byeongjin! You are caught! 1:50 (wait for it!)
2:24 It will be fun!
2:34 The height I feel under my feet is more scary than I thought, especially because it is a valley, not a river. I enjoy thrilling activities so I am brave. I try to look cool until the end, but the water flows much faster than I thought so I was worried about Jeon who was picked by me to jump together.
2:55 Well, she pretends to be naive. I should have noticed from the moment she indifferently corrected her makeup. (Ilwoo was saying “you must jump!” but she said “I never promised you to do so!”)
3:20 I think I played a bit harsh on him.
4:10 The staff is talking about the rope
4:20 The staff is saying to Ilwoo “you should at least pretend that you are scared about the height! It is sooo not fun!”
4:28 I am doing this in case of emergency. It looks high!
4:46 if you get any injury, this company will not cover anything about it. How do you feel now?
5:05 I will tie the rope on my ankles.
5:14 Well, if I try and if I really can’t do it then why should we bother wasting our time? (she intentionally doing this to spend more time here so they can prank Ilwoo later.)
5:28 You promised me that you will jump! (not knowing all this is on plan). Then I also will not jump!
5:37 The person I pick should jump! Sera! It is on TV so you must jump!
The whole time she is intentionally wasting her time for the prank.
6:21 I will jump anyways so that we can move on to our next destination, but I really don’t want to jump.
6:48 Ok, don’t jump then, don’t jump! Someone else jump then (looking annoyed as the staff wanted)
6:53 She can’t jump if you keep saying that. It is your fault! ( Blaming on the staff members)
7:01 What is this? This is not even reality. Why did we even do fast walking yesterday?
7:55 So now should I act as we planned, such as feeling sad and sorry that we have to cancel the next destination because of my delay, etc?
8:03 Well I am so fine! Should I pretend as if I am scared?
8:24 Hey guys! I will jump! focus!
9:09 Hey! I lost my sunglasses!
9:18 It was so fun!
9:21 I really want to jump again!
9:37 I am Jung Il woo!
10:14 When I first jumped, I hit the water so hard, and I have a headache now, but it was the best! My sister told me jumping with ankles is the most scary one. I heard the newbies are not allowed to jump like that in Korea, but I did it here. It is so awesome! It was so fun. Sera, I am sorry. But it was so cool!
Me: Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Yeah he had an aneurysm! He is so blessed to be to be alive after that!!!
11:00 They are talking about a plan to prank him. (the plan is since it is delayed, they can’t do the zipline, and Rick, the coordinator gets angry, how will Ilwoo react to this situation? )
11:38 The staff is intentionally making situations go bad.
11:50 I don’t feel so good after 2 bungee jumps. Almost all my upper body went inside the water, and now I have a headache. Whenever I come abroad, I feel like I have to care about myself so that I don’t make other staff feel worried, but now is…
They are on prank now, and Ilwoo gets annoyed.
13:55 I am sorry Ilwoo. It is for the show!
14:10 Staff are (not) seriously talking that they will cancel the zipline and go to the hotel. But the writer is saying “then we don’t have much to show for the show”, and they are intentionally making it look worse.
14:34 Well, then we didn’t have to eat that time, we could just come here early. (got angry now)
14:50 The PD is saying “you should give me what your alternatives then, you say we have to film zipline but we don’t have time?, etc keep making it worse (look like)
15:22 Well no, don’t ask me about that. You should tell me what we can do if we can’t zipline now. Still it is absurd. Then we shouln’tt have eaten lunch. If we knew by what time we had to be here, we did not have to see this problem now.
15:53 (Rick is actually doing some shopping now ) they are saying how to end this prank well.
16:55 (prank succeeded! ) I will not film anymore!
17:04 He is trying to be responsible, think thoroughly, so he managed the situation well.
17:28 Since when did you plan? Well, it is amazing! Did you know? Who knew? Since when did you plan? Did you also know? Everyone knew!
17:55 But I thought Ilwoo really got angry and I was worried.
18:02 YEAH, no joke, I really got annoyed! Did you intentionally jump slowly? (“they told me to delay the time!, it was really difficult for me too!” )
18:18 This is so insane! Did You also know? Why did you not tell me? (that’s why I told you to don’t get angry much!)
18:35 Rick is amazing, where is Rick? I will really revenge on them!
18:52 The cameras kept following me, and I was wondering why they keep following even in this situation!
19:09 (in the middle this staff came to me and said “hey, is the prank on now? Still going on? )
19:15 I really got pranked hard!
19:27 My condition was bad today, and now the situation got worse, so I got so angry at that moment. (“but the moment you told me that you have a headache and stuff made the situation get worse! We did not intend on that!”)
19:48 I still feel bad!
20:11 after a long lasting prank, I finally went to ride the zipline. I will ride it so I can feel refreshed!
20:44 it is fun!
21:04 It can’t compare with bungee jumping.
21:52 the long one is fun. It’s cold here.
One two three, go!
22:30 It was cold but it was so fun!
22:54 It is the first day in Whistler. Yesterday I was physically tired, today I was psychologically tired. I was pranked so hard. It was my first time to get pranked on. They were good at acting. I will take revenge on them before I go back to Korea! It was my first time bungee jumping. It was an amazing experience. I am looking forward to what’s going to happen tomorrow. Good night! Bye!
24:04 Mountain bike which is another attraction in Whistler.
24:12 I am here to rent the bike.
24:30 they guy is talking about how much he likes mountain bikes. , how dangerous it is, and have to wear protective wear, and saying Ilwoo will be ok because of his good physical features.
25:22 I think I can’t do this anywhere, so I will consider this as a good experience.
Here are the photos:
These are brand new screen captures:
He stayed so cool during that whole prank… so easy going… such a sweetie! Headache and all…
To think this happened nearly 10 years ago! Where does time go Ilwoo Ssi? Hey Jung Il Woo staff… it’s time for a new prank! Please!!! ^ ^
