he doesnt have a girlfriend....

hi good morning! did anyone record the episode last night? unfortunately, i wasnt able to watch the local version of my girl...

Hellooo everyone!

Any news lately? I've been busy watching KDramas! I'm done with My Name Is Kim Sam Soon and now watching Goong...heh heh. They're so addicting to watch!

I hope we have more vids and pictures of LDW. Is he back at Korea?

Got to make my way to Soompi right now.

hi jjjustine! the forum is very quiet today..probably most people are busy at work...
except for me...

at soompi, they are talking about the rumor that LDW will be doing a movie (under Star Cinema, iguess) in november...not so sure if this is true! *fingers crossed*

but i am so excited to hear that he will back in the phils (if in case its true)....if that happens, surely i will be there to stalk him while doing his movie...

We were not aware of the LDW feature at BLOG (Barkada Log) of Studio 23, thus, very few were able to watch. I was not one of them, thus not able to tape it. It's a daily show at Studio 23 (Ch 17 at Skycable I think), 6:30 pm. and replay the following moring at 7:30am if I'm not mistaken. Seems the LDW feature was shown Wed. evening and the replay was yesterday morning.

If we want it to be shown again, let's request by sending email to blog@abs.pinoycentral.com.

Yes, it was aired by GMA-7. But I forgot if it was in 2003 or 2004... Erm, Jo In Sung was NOT in that series.

oh, i read somewhere that jo in sung was there..hehe..i still want to watch it though...maybe i can find a few of it at you tube...thanks anyway....

Guys, saw this in Friendster. A super lucky fan of Lee Dong Wook had a chance to take a picture of him with her. I don't know here real name but she calls her self as GNL. She's a super duper lucky girl! Oppa even put his hand on her shoulder. *Sigh* I want to have pics with him too!

GNL's Caption for this pic: "GNL-W/ WooKie! ^^ look at me.. i was paralized when he touched my left shoulder. I can't even smile."

Hi! shucks thanx for posting that pix! she is very lucky! *so jealous*

hmmm...the usual pix i have seen so far are group pix with wookie, but this one, wahhh!!!! so lucky girl!

n_n That girl is lucky to take a picture with a celebrity. She looks kind of funny next to LDW, though. o_o

very lucky girl....if i were in her place, i'll be stunned too...even just the thought of wookie beside me...*sigh*

HI,EVERYBODY! I'M A new user in this thread. I'm from the Philippines and I still have the LDW fever. I didn't have the chance to see him in person or even go to his appearances while he was here because i'm from the province. But i'm so glad that there are people in this thread who have shared their experiences. REading about their encounters with LDW, it's like being transported into another world. OH, i really envy you guys.
And to all of you wookie fans here, thank you for all your updates.

and to oppa, love you so much!!!! [/size]

OMMMG!

That girl is sssoooo lucky! *FAINTS* HE LOOKS SSOO GOOD! I wish he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. Omggg. I know I wouldn't keep still.

I've been MIA (Missing In Action) for some time. Like I said, I've been busy watching Goong and I'm so in love with Kim Jung Hoon...cuuuuteee! But no one will ever take Wookie's place, mmk? Heh.

So how's everyone? Any news lately? Videos or pictures?

Hi, julian_jasmine! Heh heh.

Well, I'm off for now.

[color=#33CC00]I really love watching my girl on dvd. Even though I'm already finished with it, I still watch it when I have free time or I watch it in abs-cbn(channel in the Phil.). I love watching episode 11!!! It's so romantic!!! I reaaly don't know who's the girlfriend of LeeDong Wook? I really don't know!!! Can somebody answer it? Please... I hope Lee Dong Wook's gf is me! I would be so glad if Dong Wook is my boyfriend! I really can't forget the Dong Wook said in an interview here in the Philippines("There's a possibility that a Filipina could be my wife[i hope it would be me!]). He also said that--"I will get married after 10 years.", I could wait for him![even it takes forever!] hehe I really love Him soooo much I hope that he'll make more koreanovela and movies!!!

Based from his interviews, he doesnt have a girlfriend

Yes, it was aired in the afternoon a few years ago. I was able to watch a few episodes during that time. Eugene, Park Yong Ha and Lee Dong Wook oppa weren't popular in the country yet.

Well, you could always ask for GMA to show the series again.

jeanda: thanks sis!

hi! i just want to share with u the latest article about wookie.

this has been translated by roody of soompi...

thanks roddy for allowing me to post it here at AF.

Here's a translation of a really good interview put up on leedongwook.net today. Please forgive any errors as my chinese is not that good: my translation is a mix of literal and "educated guesses" where I run into problems (Jo: heyyylp meah!). But this is too good to miss as it gives us another insight into his personality:


PART 1:

After the success of drama My Girl, and after taking time to consider, LDW finally chose the horror movie Arang. Because this is his debut movie work and therefore he faced some difficulties, but the biggest readon for his choice is the horror element.

Since he made his acting debut, LDW has frequently been tagged with "the good guy" title, therefore he decided the challenge himself, to explore his abilities under the eyes of a wider audience. Some time ago, he appeared in a sharply different image in a Monday Kiz music video, committing a violent act, and by doing so discovered a new side to himself. This time, in the movie Arang, LDW has once and for all discarded that image of the gentle handsome man into a man with a dominant strong personality, the story of himself.

Altho he does not stop worrying about his debut big screen performance, but he still retains his innate sense of humour, the strong box office of the movie has definitely helped. In a short time chatting with him, everyone around him can feel his calmness and warmth.

With the screening of Arang, for an actor gaining popularity is the most important thing, but for now LDW is just happy to take on thing at a time, and look forward to his next work. So he is relaxed.

Q: How do you feel after having watched your own performance?
(Smiling) Frankly, i want to hide! I never even watched any of my tv dramas with my family, now I actually have to sit and watch the movie with an audience of several hundred people, i feel a little shy. Especially because i don't think I performed very well. Although my family all said to me that they want to watch it together with me to cheer me on, but i think it's just too awkward for me, better that they see it privately (not with him)

Q: You seem a little tired right now.
Maybe it's because of the nonstop interviews, photoshoots, promos etc as this is my first movie.

Q: Don't you have as many promos for your tv dramas?
Not so much, I don't have to do so many interviews, perhaps because I didn't get as much attention then. 我也快成为东方神起那样的明星了吧，我的目标就是成为东方神起。（笑） (Smiling) [Unsure how to translate this]

Q: You've shown a rough masculine charm in this movie, but before this you've mainly played the handsome guy type. How do you feel about the change?
Since I was in the 3rd grade in high school, do you know what I'm frequently called? XXX [Unsure how to translate - "handsome guy/pretty boy" ]. Doesnt' matter if I frown or smile or whatever, they all call me that. I just don't want to portray that handsome guy from the wealthy family (chaebol) (Laughing). I just want to do something a bit more challenging. I really like this kind of rough strong male character, hopefully I can play a few more like this. Whereas just playing that handsome rich guy...how do i say this, makes u feel a little embarrassed. The media usually somehow always associates me with that image, so I felt i needed to get rid of it.

Q: Do you think you succeeded in getting away from that image?
Honestly I don't know. In order to play a cop, i've kept a beard but some people have commented that it's not too appropriate. They've said that if you've got a suitable/successful image from tv dramas then why mess with it? Well, actually, I intentionally pursued the change, i just want to play the role with conviction. Whether I've succeeded in changing my image in people's minds, i'm still waiting to see.

Q: Were you happy that people thought you could play a cop?
When My Girl achieved huge success, after it was over i received offers of 8 screenplays to choose from: 4 were romantic comedies, 2 straight comedies, and 2 horror films. Arang was the most interesting to me. But I was really unsure, didn't have the confidence because this was going to be my debut movie. The main reason that I finally agreed to do this role was because of my trust for Director Ahn. When we first met, I wanted to be honest and told him that I'm not sure I could pull off this role, but he only calmly said to me: For myself, I am very happy to be working with you. That gave me a lot of heart.

Q: Filming a horror story, we're frequently frightened by fable ghosts. In daily life, what scares you the most?
I am inclined to believe or trust in other people easily, that's my personality. I suppose I'm most afraid of insincerity in others.

Q: As this is her second horror movie, was Song Yoon Ah able to help you?
She doesn't specifically teach me things, but she certainly was a huge help to me. For instance, she told me that actors working on horror films always want to tell clever stories about the filming, and in interviews i've also been tempted to do this, but she advised me that telling clever stories will not necessarily help the movie . She also once told me that: an actor's debut movie rarely gets a good response, so don't put your hopes too high. Such things make me feel that she's an extremely good person. Some day, I would also want to be able to give such advice to my younger generation (Smiles)

Q: How do you feel about working with her?
I think that any man will find noona a very charming woman. I really like the fact that she is not fussy about food, will eat anything! Before this, I thot she may not be approachable, but then I discovered that she is a very easygoing person, i think this is really part of her attraction.

Q: Arang's box office is very good, how do you feel about it?
It's certainly not because of me, so I'm really thankful that movie audiences like it. At the same time, I'm really grateful to noona Song Yoon Ah for giving me a lot of support in the filming process.

Q: Why are you so modest about it?
I'm not modest (laughing). I just don't have much confidence in myself, it's true. My fans are constantly telling me not to lack this, but I want to say: what can talking confidently about work achieve? I prefer that the result of my work speaks for myself. If the movie is popular, people who don't know me will approve of my performance. But if I myself say the movie is great and my performance is fantastic, you can't write it (that won't make the movie good!). Maybe the day I become XXX [unsure how to translate], only then will I self-confidently talk in interviews (Laughing).

No matter what question is given to him, his response is always immediate, without hesitation, often clearly, and touching the heart.

Part 2 to be cont'd....

Hey everyone! Guh, I spilled water all over my keyboard so we had to use another one -- it was hell not having to type. Oh well.

New pictures below and no, they're not Philippine-related.







































I'm off to watch more Goong!

wow, thanks for the pictures jjjustine... i love him, he's so photogenic!!!

im half-way of epi.22 of Goong

thank u too jjjustine for posting those pix! Wookie is so adorable!!!! and yes photogenic too!!!!!

julian_jasmine, thanks for the article! it's so good to hear that ARANG really did very well in korea.. hope it will be shown here...

jjjustine, thanks for the pics.. wookie is so cute!

not sure if this has been posted...Pictures of the "Arang Press Conference in Seoul"

http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.as...9232&nbc1=1

WOW!!! thanks 4 posting those pics jjjustine....he's so cuuuuttteee!!!!! i love the short hair...

hello, lorraine!!! welcome to asian fanatics. ready glad to hear that a lot of filipinos are in this forum. of course , we could be friends.

i've signed up as a member at soompi, but i'm always having problems when posting messages or replies there, can please someone help me? thanks in advance...

I wish we could have more LDW updates!!
I got to go to sleep, still have work tomorrow. See you all soon!!!!

to oppa, love you so much!!!!

just finished watching my girl..i think that was episode 13...??? am i right?? anwayz...thanks jjjustine for the pics! i loved it!! by the way...where can i buy those dvds of my girl here in the Phil?? thanks in advance!!!

You can buy DVDs at Metrowalk. There are 2 kinds. First one is just one DVD CD for all 16 episodes costing Php150. Second is box of 6 or 8 DVD CDs costing around Php 400 to 500. I think the second kind has better quality. I watched the first kind and quality is okay.

I saw the episode earlier and most part of the taxi scene did not have any dubbing or audio. Is this right? The lines of Jasmine in this scene were very important and meaningful so I hope the repeat of this scene tomorrow will have the audio.

GNL= Girl, you're so lucky, you've been blessed!!! i really envy you....
just want to ask you something, how did he smell? was he wearing perfume that time? hehehe, just wondrin'


to oppa, love you so much!!!

hi acissej_7! we are still in episode 12...however, there was a technical problem at the latter part of tonight's episode...
Grrr......

This is one of my favorites! when LDH and LDW were in the cab and he pretends to be asleep while LDH was crying and asking if he could think of her (for once) as LDH and not as his younger cousin...sheesssh!!!

hope abs-cbn will replay that part tomorrow!

Yup, you're right. Jasmine's lines at the taxi scene were very meaningful so how can the technical problem happen at that very moment. Really bad timing ha? Anyway, the following day's episode usually start with the last scene of the previous episode so I suppose the taxi scene will be shown again tomorrow. Just hoping that the audio will now work. I saw earlier this taxi scene in a commercial and the audio was working. So what could have gone wrong during the actual episode???

yes so disappointing! i also saw that teaser and the audio was okay....

what probably went wrong? *sigh* hmm....i really pray that they will fix the audio and replay the taxi scene tomorrow...hehe...i actually sent an email to abs-cbn about it...hahaha!!!

Haven't posted here much though I've been lurking. justine and j_j, thank you for posting those pics and article (gonna be waiting for part 2 of that article)! *waves* at new names/fellow Wookie fans I'm seeing here.


And yeah, what happened to Jasmine/Yoo Rin's voice. Much better to hear her Korean voice than to hear nothing at all. Oh they gotta replay that part! Thank goodness, Wookie didn't say even a word on that scene because if that *no audio* thing happened on his part !!!?!?!?!!!

Hopefully that would be the first and the last! Especially now we're nearing the end, every Julian/GCS and Jasmine/JYR scenes (what they say and do) are important. So I hope they'll make sure everything is A-okay-perfectly-working!



True!

OMG! All I can say is....Lee Dong Wook in a HUNK! I loved him in "My Girl". Anyone know of any new upcoming dramas he may be starring in?

Hello everyone!

No, julian_jasmine, no updates of Wookie. There's part 2 of the translated part of the questionnare or something, but I'm way too lazy to put it up here. Heh heh.

Welcome, lorr@ine! We're all family here. So welcome!

I want more Wookie-ness!

PART 2 of Wookie's Interview
courtesy of roody

Q: We've seen you in the drama "Wooden Carousel" to "Letter to Parents", and then "Hanoi Bride", continuously until "My Girl". Your degree of recognition has gone higher and higher. Is this similar to your development as an actor?
Pretty consistent, yeah. When I first started working on "Wooden Carousel" the director didn't think much of my abilities. I felt really down and also kind of angry. At one time I just had to leave as I couldn't keep in my tears (of frustration). But then that incident led me to find my own way in my work, and later the director began to approve of me. In "Letter to Parents", Jin Xiu [not sure who this is, senior actor?] advised me that acting always comes from the heart, and I also learned how important the cooperation between the actor, screenwriter and director is. "Hanoi Bride" is another piece of work that is close to my heart. For "My Girl", although it is very popular, I really feel my function is only about 10%, the rest of it is really Lee Da Hae's brilliant acting and Jun Ki's huge stardom.

Q: But you received a lot of "new star" praise through "My Girl", so how do you feel about this kind of rising popularity?
Internally and externally, no difference really! Popularity is like a fragrance that burns. It can burn really brightly, but in the end only leaves ashes...I had a similar experience before on "Wooden Carousel", at the height of the drama it was good but after a time that it's over, the cheers also vanished like soap bubbles! During the "My Girl" broadcast, my fan club membership reached as high as 72,000, but after a while now I think it's down to 8,000! That's why I really don't believe in pursuing popularity. If there has been any impact on me, it's more to do with the kind of opportunities I now have, the kind of choices I would make in my work.

Q: Now it's not rare for stars to have overnight stardom. Compared to this, you've had quite a slow journey. Have you ever felt down about this?
Failing an audition would make me feel down. Because this is something that's not within my manager's efforts or the director's efforts, but my own. The time before I got to work on "Letter to Parents" was probably my worse time as an actor, to the extent that I jus couldn't even look at any scripts. Now I understand that all this (even the bad times) is part of an important learning process.

Q: Has your character changed?
Well, that's a really hard thing to say. I feel the same, and I haven't heard anyone say that my character has changed.

Q: In acting out a role, do you feel you sincerely understand it?
You can't achieve total sincerity in understanding a role. If I can achieve this, I'd already be at the Cannes Film Festival (laughs). Anyone who can say this is 90% lying. I can put in the hard work, but to be the dramatis personae [the actor becoming the role] how do we truly understand this? My mouth could be saying Seoul Gong Chan's lines, but there will be times when my heart says: how strange?! There will be such moments of doubt. So definitely, I have to overcome such doubts, to assimilate the character, then perform the role.

Q: Do you also hope to be a Hallyu Star?
I don't think this is something you can hope for. You'd just have to work hard. After "My Girl" i thought I was already famous. But then I realised that it was more because of Da Hae and Jun Ki, so I just went back to my original position (laughing).

Q: Then don't you think viewer ratings and box office is important?
I'd be lying if I said no. But more importantly, it's the kind of work/roles and the people that i get to work with that I look forward to. "My Girl" was great. I got to work with many good people, the ratings almost hit 50%, made a lot of friends, despite the cold and working until dawn.

Q: Ever since you started acting, what was the worst insult you had to face?
I'm not the kind who is easily hurt / insulted. I've come across comments on the internet saying: "he's not a good actor" "he's not star material" etc. I wouldn't mind if these critics called me up and talked to me. So they get a look/ get to know me (smiles). [not very clear about this part]

Q: By becoming more popular, the public is now more interested in your private life and you can't live anonymously anymore, is this hard?
Not hard, but somewhat inconvenient. There are times when I want to lose my temper or shout, and can't. Or I want to say something to someone, but can't. But then every professional person faces this kind of experience, so I can bear with it. If it was only me, i'd go crazy! So the thought that thousands of other people have to deal with these situations too is a comfort.

Q: To what degree would you discuss your private life?
I don't like discussing my private life. But in promotional activities or in public events there will be people or fans who ask such questions about first love or personal topics, and sometimes I can't avoid answering them.

ei! just uploaded the part 2 of wookies interview

PART 3

PART 3 (FINAL)

courtesy of roddy

Q: Now, you have already become a man, and surpassed the youthful stage, are you satisfied with your age now?
I think i'm not that young anymore. I'm getting older (laughs). However, the older i get, the more sure i am of what i want. I want to be a successful and prominent actor in 10 years. By then i'd be 34 years old. I haven't gone for military service yet, so i still have a long way to go.

Q: Still not settled with the army service issue?
I'm very healthy and i'm sure i'll attend military service. But that will be 3-4 years later.

Q: How different is it NOW compared to THEN, when u juz started working (in the entertainment circle)?
Frankly speaking, i envy those newcomers/newbies a lot. Back then when i juz started, i didn't even have my own manager. I had to start and end work with the crew, go home by train and even bring my own clothes to the sets. Everything including the costumes were so old-fashioned, it was pretty hard. Stars now don't even have to worry about costume as all of the stuff are prepared beforehand.

Q: You're only 25 years old, do you feel the difference with the younger generation today?
Naturally. We (long-time actors) when we see our senior actors or the production crew will nod a greeting / say hello, but many young people today will act as if they have not seen these seniors! Since i acted in the drama "School" (his first drama), that has been my wealth of experience, my education as an actor [unclear wat he says next]

Q: You're a Type B kinda guy right?
Well, people who sit with me for 5 minutes always say my blood type must be B! Although personally, I don't believe in that correlation between a person's blood type and his character, but it looks like i must be a typical Type B guy!

Q: You've been described on the internet as a "beautiful male"! What do you think of that?
Makes me sick [hope i got this rite!!], I don't think it applies to me at all. This kind of description is more appropriate for Jun Ki or DBSK, all those who are truly physically beautiful male body types!

Q: Why don't you think this description is not right for you?
I don't have the right kind of face with sharpness/angles, but I'm not saying i'm ugly (laughs)

Q: As an actor how do you feel about your looks?
I'm satisfied with how I look. I can't change it, right? I really ;think that plastic surgery is a bad idea for men! Whenever I see XXXX [who?]'s nose, I'm tempted to press my finger on it (laughing). Frankly, my face has a lot of shortcomings: my nose has been injured before, the nasal bone pretty badly. The left and right side of my face is not asymmetrical. Compared to a lot of other actors, my appearance is not very good. However I try, I don't have the square jaw or the sharp cheekbones. [Is he serious????]

Q: Before this, we didn't know that you're such a funny actor. Don't you appear on entertainment programmes?
Absolutely not [This interview mus be prior to the recent Sang Sang Plus & Come to Play]. I don't have the makings of a comedian, and I'm also a little shy (smiling). This is why I don't go on entertainment programmes. It was worse when I was in school. Every time we had visitors, I would just sit in my room listening to music unwilling to come out. I started to be more outgoing in high school, getting
involved in the class's broadcast activities, interviewing people on the streets, getting involved in clubs/societies, sometimes singing in the subway [!]. So gradually i jus realised that I have this side of me that I didn't know, hidden characteristics. Anyway, if i jus talk in a boring manner with people, then it would
make the atmosphere very dull and a waste of time, won't it? But if I make an effort to be engaging and animated, then it would be at least interesting for reporters/journalists, perhaps they'll even help make my conversation better, right? (Smiling) [oh, very clever!]

Q: At present, would you say you're happy/not happy?
Happiness has always been an easy/simple thing for me. If there're no quarrels at home, I'm happy. If my father who works long distance and can only come home once a week when my family can all sit together for a meal, I'm a happy guy. Now my movie has got good results, I'm happy too.


Song Yoon Ah once said about him: "he is very different from his tvdrama image. He has an extremely strong masculine character". Lee Dong Wook is very eloquent in his speech, always speaking without reservation, without hiding.

After the success of his silver screen debut, LDW prepares for his next move [not very clear]. Perhaps there won't be so much time in future for him and his crew to sit in one place having a meal, chatting and laughing merrily, because of his increasingly crowded schedule. But, as he says, he can't stop to catch his breath now, he just wants to keep running forward.
