A certain smile

Jo Hyun-Jae doesn't smile a lot in his dramas. But when he does, it's like the sun bursting forth from the clouds. Off screen, however, on certain occasions he smiles, even laughs, with such refreshing charm and charisma that we can't resist sharing these photos with you.

The million $ smile -- from his early days as a model

The happy smile -- from the 6/23/08 Tokyo Fan Meeting

The radiant smile -- from the 7/19/08 Korea Fan Meeting

The drunken smile -- from the celebration dinner after completion of "3 Dads/1 Mom"

The sad smile -- at the farewell on 8/5/08

The embarrassed smile -- from the TV show "Night Heart" 夜心万万


We love this TV show, well, this episode anyway, (check it out at the thread above) in which Jo Hyun-Jae reveals so much about himself, even his lost love. He says afterwards he regrets it; you never hear him speak so much in public again.

  1. Everybody on that TV show seems to be having a fun time. But the subtitles are in Chinese. What do they say? BTW, JHJ looks absolutely darling! I have never seen him laugh so much.

  2. Hyun Jae's smile is very heart-warming. In one of the pictures in his new photo album, HJ made a victory gesture with his right hand, and had a somewhat mischievous smlie on his face. I can't help but smile myself whenever I look at it.

  3. Yes,Shirley, everybody thinks JHJ is a serious sort of guy, but we have always suspected there is a mischievous streak in him. You catch this twinkle in his eye, and you go "Aha!"

  4. Danielle, we could not find a version with English subtitles, sorry! We'll try to translate it ourselves. Watch out for next week's posting.
