Japanese fanmeeting “With YOO”
by javabeans
Over the weekend, actor Gong Yoo held his first fanmeeting in Japan in three years; it follows his recent Seoul event in January which was his first fan event following his army discharge in December. There were actually two events, one in Kobe on the 26th and another in Yokohama on the 28th. The affair was titled “Gong Yoo Fanmeeting 2010 — With YOO.”
Prior to the meeting, Gong Yoo spoke to reporters and explained, “Things haven’t been decided yet, but I’m currently thinking of a next project that’ll be good enough to satisfy fans. I’d like to take a film role first, then do a drama for the fans.”
His Korean fanmeeting in January had a decent attendance size of 1,000, but these were even larger with an attendance of 5,000. The following photos are taken from the meeting with reporters preceding the Sunday event in Yokohama.
Good to see him back looking refreshed and healthy, isn’t it?

Judging from other comments, I guess it's just me that the first picture kinda scared me and looked like something from Madam Tussaud's?

I cannot contain my excitement whenever I see the name "Gong Yoo" in an article here, or well, anywhere. *g* I can't wait till his new project, whatever it may be.
JB, thanks for this. Such happy-making news! :)

@ 8 - cranky - you're not the only one who thinks Madam Tussaud.
I like Gong Yoo a lot, but I don't like his make up in these pictures. His make up makes him look like a wax figure - too thick, too white, too unnatural. The only picture that comes across as little bit natural is the second to the last pic.
I say Gong Yoo, tell your make up artist to lay off the make up.

i've never used "stunning" to describe a man ... but in this case GONG YOO IS STUNNING!!!
i think you've mentioned this before ... but something about going into the army for these men just makes them 10000000x more appealing. is that even possible?

Despite the terrible make-up, I think he looks so much better than when he first went to Military service. Why is it that most men (okay, Korean actors) look better (and hotter, sexier, cuter, more fresh, manlier... I could go on and on...) after they have served in the military? I guess their temporary disappearance on tv accounts for that too, so fans would miss them more.

Why people look better after army service? Becuase under those shirts there is pure muscle and manliness.

I absolutely adore Gong Yoo, he is one of my favorite actors period, no matter what country. He was sexy as hell in "S Diary", and SOOOOOOOOO wonderful in "Coffee Prince", but having his hair that way makes him look MUCH older than he really is, at first glance I thought, "who is that 40 year-old man who resembles Gong Yoo?".
ALSO, his smile looks really unnatural, and his eyes look glassy like he has been smoking weed. I DON'T think he smokes marijuana, (and I wouldn't care if he did; but that's a cultural thing of course, weed just isn't a big deal here in the U.S., even politicians who SWEAR they never smoked and will do ANYTHING to keep it illegal, later turn out to have smoked marijuana as well,) he just LOOKS like he did. It breaks my heart to agree with the wax-figure comments, but it is true!

@ 30
i'm gonna have to disagree with you.. i think Yoo's smile is so bright, infectious, and completely natural looking.. his eyes actually twinkle!!! that's the smile from his lips reaching up to his eyes. it's beautiful!!!

He is also one of my favorites. He's totally talented.
But really - - - these are not flattering pictures, especially the cover one. It can't be only me who is noticing this ???!?!?!?! The smile and eyes are not on the same page.... it almost looks like no one is home O_o

Despite makeup, he looks genuinely happy. I could wish for nothing more than that.

agree with #33 elena - smile and eyes are not on the same page. he looks so unnaturally clean. too much make-up - maybe to cover up the imperfections? i would have preferred to see the imperfections rather than this wax-like gong yoo. two thumbs down, gong yoo....

I also agree with the wax figure comments - something looks really off about him here. Does he normally wear makeup? Star or no star, I think guys look better without makeup. More manly that way too haha.
