Out of the army to promote Mandate
by javabeans
Jae Hee, 28, is currently serving out his army duty, but has received permission to take special leave next month, and he’s using it to promote his new movie. Supernatural flick Mandate opens on October 30, and he’ll be out to greet the press for the occasion on November 2 at the movie theater.
In Mandate: Mission from God, a ghost hunter (Jae Hee) battles an evil spirit responsible for a series of murders. Director Park Hee-joon was elated at this development, saying, “When promoting the film, we often felt the void left by Jae Hee… this feels like I’ve won a thousand battles.”
His co-star Yoo Da-in (Her, Hello My Teacher) said, “Without Jae Hee oppa with me, promoting the film alone was difficult and very burdensome. This is my first lead role, and it was a big concern, worrying how to act at the official greeting event, but now I feel relieved. I’ll have to prepare a thank-you gift.”
Jae Hee enlisted on August 4 not in the special service that entertainers often serve in, but in the army proper where he is on active duty. This special leave comes after serving his first 100 days.

This post just made my day, and literally too, what with the weather being so drizzly and miserable. I've missed Jae Hee so much, my first kdrama love and my favorite. Welcome back, even if it's for a little while!

Oooh, that's awesome! My first k-celebrity crush, how I miss you so. I read somewhere (can't remember where) that this film is actually getting some interest from foreign distributors. It's not a genre I'm particularly interested in, but I'll watch anything with JH is in.

I'm sure I'll see this at some point, but ugh. Can we please get over the crustache phase, Korea? We've got this picture of Jae Hee here, and Joo Ji-Hoon right above it! Ick. I was over it when my future prom date got his in 9th grade,...several years ago. Yowza.
