Shindong puts on the judo moves for Dr. Champ
by javabeans
Although, to be more accurate, it looks he’s getting the moves put on himself, judging from the above still.
Super Junior’s Shindong is one of the supporting cast members of the upcoming medical-sports drama Dr. Champ, which is set at Korea’s Olympic training facility and focuses on the athletes who train there, as well as the doctors who treat them. Uhm Tae-woong is the grumpy House-like senior doctor, while Kim So-yeon plays the new transfer.
While the drama will feature athletes in several different disciplines (swimming, for example — Cha Ye-ryun is a coach and Kang So-ra one of the swimmers she trains), it seems like judo will get a particular emphasis. Not only is that the specialty of series lead Jung Kyeo-woon, but there have been several actors cast as judo athletes. (In addition to Jung and Shindong, there’s also Jung Seok-won, as well as newcomer Im Sung-kyu.)
On September, while at the Yongin University gym for judo practice, Shindong said, “It helps my acting a lot that I practiced judo in elementary school.” Assistant director Nam Tae-jin also agreed that his prior experience has helped Shindong capture realism in his moves; he added that the director, PD Park Hyung-ki, decided to cast people who’d had some experience with the sport.
Dr. Champ premieres on Monday, September 27, following I Am Legend.
And here are a couple stills of new actor Im Sung-kyu:

Aww, it seems as if these guys won't get any love here...
Im Sung-Kyu and Shindong better get a Kim Hyung Joon costume for their next roles, it can elevate them to 300+ comments of "Oppa is soooooo cool"

I love Shindong!!!!! I dont really listen to Suju music but i know about them bc of Shindong. He's hilarious!!!!!!!!!! I wish he's more popular. He's not as good looking as the other members so he doesn't get as many opportunities.

Shindong's pretty darn handsome, if you ask me-- check out those pretty rosebud lips of his!--but I totally get your point. It's kinda sad that he doesn't have as many followers as he should.

Love Super Junior, love Shindong...he's a good dancer and does some of SuJu's choreography. His takeoff of Rain's sexy Love Song dance was priceless!

So who's the lead in this Kdrama!?
I really hope it isnt the ever-so-wooden & one-dimensional, Jung Kyeo Woon, but rather Uhm Tae Woong!
I'll attempt to watch this drama purely because of Kim So Yeon but that alone isn't promising.

SHINDONG! HE IS ACTUALLY BETTER LOOKING THAN EUNHYUK AND LEETEUK, JUST NEED TO LOSE THE WAIT TO SEE HIS FACIAL FEATURE BETTER, SPEAKING FROM A NON-ELF POV.
