JHJ's Crencia days










Jo Hyun-Jae modelled for the Korean fashion brand Crencia in 2003. We find it hard to associate the fresh-faced kid here with that other model in the Andre Kim Fashion Extravaganza. (See our 5/19/09 post.) But then in his various dramas, JHJ plays radically different roles and each time he comes across as a totally different personality. That's what a good actor is all about.

The first video is the creation of our Japanese friend mizutamari. Many thanks indeed! (Credit: http://club.brokore.com/sodongyo). The song is called 어느새 (It) and is by the Korean singer Alex, now very "hot" in Japan too.

The second video is made from advertisements of Crencia's 2003 fashion line, set to the Gareth Gates' song "Too soon to say goodbye". (Credit: Carpediem.) It shows a side of JHJ that some of you may not be aware of. He's only 23 then, in his "Love Letter" days (as you can tell by the hair), but this young model in the very contemporary clothes is so different from Andrea. Just shows you how talented and versatile JHJ is. And he looks so full of sunshine and spirit! (We apologise for the less-than-stellar quality of the video, but somehow this gives JHJ a rather dreamy look.)

  1. If he's not an actor, Jo Hyun Jae would have made a great model. He has such a flair with clothes. Love the videos!
