A penny for your thoughts

You all know Jo Hyun-Jae is a very conscientious actor. When he is on set, he concentrates on the task at hand. When he is off set, however, he looks like he's not sure what he's doing there or why he's there at all. Very often you find this pensive or melancholy or faraway look in his eyes.






你的眼神 The look in your eyes
sung by Samantha Lam Chi-Mei
林志美

淡淡然掠過 Silently sweeping by

神祕又美麗 mysterious and beautiful

它恍似驟來的雨 it seems like a sudden rain shower

我也難自禁抬頭看你 I can't help but raise my head to look at you

你偏將心事瞞住 but you choose to hide your feelings

就算默然不語 Even if no words are said

我都深深記住 I will remember by heart

因你的眼神 because the look in your eyes

使我心裡著迷 enchants my heart

啊已將我心輕輕的留住 Oh! it has softly captivated my heart

  1. I've not seen photo #4 before. When was this taken? HJ looks so tired.

  2. Danielle, we can't say for certain, but we suspect this photo was taken some time in 2006 after the completion of "Seo Dong Yo" when Jo Hyun-Jae left his old management company because of a contract dispute. This is based on his hairstyle and the weary look in his eyes. He was engaged in a legal battle which he never spoke about. At the Korea Fan Meeting, when asked to name the "Sorrow" (among other things) part of his life, he said: "Being betrayed by someone I trusted" but did not elaborate. He could be referring to this difficult period of his life when he could not work for a year (hence the blank period in his career) before the problem was solved. It was unfortunate that Jo Hyun-Jae could not immediately follow up on the success of "Seo Dong Yo", but he is not a flash in the pan. We are sure after he returns from his stint in the army, he will star in many more movies and TV series.

  3. We all support JHJ. He is such a good actor. Certainly, he is not a flash in the pan. After the military services, he will be more mature and become a superstar.

  4. The 3rd photo is taken at the TV show after SDY, right? The whole cast is there and JHJ is sitting in the centre at the front row, but he does not speak much and sometimes looks like he'd rather not be there.
