There are so many Korean actors but I think JHJ stands out from the rest. He is really serious about his chosen profession as an actor. And he is very appreciative to all of his fans and acknowledging them of all the support they have extended him.
ReplyDeleteI like Mr. Jo 's answer to Q30 as well. It's so blunt, simple and yet very witty. Mr. Jo, how come you are so PERFECT?
ReplyDeleteAnd so full of self-confidence, we might add.
