Jo In-sung in Osaka and Tokyo
by javabeans
Whoa there, Jo In-sung. These photos from a recent Japanese fanmeeting are just begging for a caption contest, although with that Who-like hair, the thoughts that immediately sprang to my mind are perhaps best expressed in the words of Dr. Seuss. Like, for instance:
From there to here,
from here to there,
funny things are everywhere.
Or how about…
I’m sorry to say so
But, sadly it’s true
That bang-ups and hang-ups
Can happen to you.
On the other hand, you can look at this positively:
Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
The army enlistment date for Frozen Flower actor Jo In-sung (28) is approaching, and that means he’s going to be busy finishing up his activities in the coming weeks.
These photos were released by Sidus HQ of Jo’s Osaka (March 3) and Tokyo (March 5) fanmeetings, which attracted a gathering of 7,500 fans.
Jo sang a few songs for his fans, such as “Thought” (생각) by Hot Potato, for which he also played guitar, and Sung Shi-kyung’s “Two People” (두 사람). He also snapped Polaroid photos with his fans, which were then placed into a guitar-case-shaped “time capsule” after messages were written on them, as a sort of send-off while he spends the next two years in mandatory military service.
Jo In-sung officially begins his service on April 6. Although he’d previously announced that these Japanese fanmeetings would be his last, he has one more planned, this time for Korean fans, to take place at the end of the month.

Is it a sign of (old) age when you start having trouble telling the difference between men and women? I so thought that was a woman in the first photo!

He looks really nice when he smiles :) And I like this too: "Be who you are and say what you feel,because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind."

Sorry...can't stop laughing. This goes way beyond ridiculous! I'm still waiting for someone to tell me why this person is "popular"!! :o ...'cause I've NEVER been able to understand it, and I've (unfortunately) seen a lot of his dramas! :lol:

lol. wow....
maybe he's trying to do the most with his hair before he has to shave it all off for his army enlistment???
but my question is.. WHY would you want to leave your fans with THAT image before leaving for 2 years... WHY?!?!?!

i'm surprised that that part of his hair is even long enough to be swept up. i wonder what he thought when he first saw himself in the mirror with this style.

Whoa there....that reminds me of a lopsided attempt to emulate the Flock of Seagulls.
And he does fit right in in a Dr. Seuss book. :P

Two thoughts came to mind after laughing so hard I was crying. 1) Does he have a stylist? and 2) Does korean military have don't ask don't tell policy? More power to you Jo - In- Sung to do it your way.

i love that Dr. Suess quotes, so appropriate, i would like to continue to think that he is a great actor, but he gets weirder and weirder everytime he's out...i don't wish to know what dimension he is living in or what nether world supports him, i just want him to go do his duty for his country ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm wishing that he will comeback a real man living in real time......

You know, I try to make allowances for artists because I know there's a pressing need to express oneself that goes beyond societal norms and expectations. But c'mon! THAT hair? Really?
Personal style is one thing, but between him and So Ji Sub and that B.Virus Kid it's getting out of hand! Oh the wackiness.

Sorry was he promoting a movie called 'Frozen HAIR?' and had just come in from a very windy day? And had ALL the mirrors in Japan suddenly gone AWOL? LOL
Well best wishes to him regardless!

It's been a looong time since I had a great laugh (rolling on my sides and tears due to over laughing) kind of laugh. WOW this beats therapy. Just had a bad day due to friend's serious sickness news, this really helped me take life not so seriously. thanks lala25 bspanda jill , I really cracked up. Its confirmed his gay

omg, you are freaking funny. My son would love your version of Dr. Seuss.
i was telling my coworker at work of how much i enjoy reading your blog eventhough i stop watching k-drama for a while now. I like your writing style, very informative, enjoyable, and analytical, not a bunch of nonsense that other bloggers post just to keep their blogs growing.
thanks.

Yay! Insung-oppa is not 28 yet! He will be 28 this year but not until July. I'm preparing surprise gift(s) for him to be delivered to the air force camp. The army better prepared a huge parking lot coz I wouldn't just sending mini chocolate box or a cuddly teddy bear!

Wondrous transformation from matinee idol to an actor of considerable gravitas . I hope he keeps developing and deepening his expressive means, for I have been following his more challenging roles with fascination. But, what on earth did a gorgeous man like him do to his hair ? What an eyesore! I need therapy now... to forget.
