Kang Dong-won gets wings in High Cut
by javabeans
I can see the reasoning behind the concept for Kang Dong-won’s new shoot for High Cut magazine — he’s supposedly “Mr. Supernatural,” and the shoot coincides with the release of his new movie, Psychic. But I’m not sure I follow the leap from Mr. Supernatural to… winged pants?
No, really. And they’re winged sweatpants, at that. Well, I guess even superheroes have gotta work out? (Oh wait. They don’t. THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT.)
Anyway, this photo spread will likely be one in a long line of “Kang Dong-won’s last ___!” promotional activities before he enlists for military service on November 18. (Heck, I’m still seeing the odd “Kim Nam-gil’s last pre-army photos!” headline pop up, even just this week.)
Kang will be able to see his latest project, the aforementioned Psychic, open just a week before the dreaded army enlistment. Buzz for the film is building as the release nears, and I’ve gotta say, it looks pretty badass. The movie pits him against Go Soo; Kang plays a man with psychic powers who can control people with his mind, while Go Soo is the one person impervious to his powers. (Watch the trailer below.)
The movie opens on November 10, while Kang’s spread can be found in November’s issue of High Cut.
And here’s the trailer for Psychic:

he always reminds me of a cooler, taller Elijah Woods...an altogether better package though. his face is interesting, not just pretty/handsome. i like that.

Now that you've mentioned it, I can totally see the Elijah Wood in him. Whatever did happen to Wood?

I've read somewhere that Elijah Wood was busy promoting his movie "The Romantics" a couple of months ago. He was also slated to star in "Wilfred", an FX original comedy series, together with Jason Gann for summer 2011.

I think you're confusing Kang DongWon with Joo Won. KDW was never in The Baker King and I don't see him returning to the small screen any time soon.

I guess those pants are the casualty of Jeremy Scott design for Adidas... Designer to me is the thin line between absolute brilliance to absolute weird...
The pants kinda work, but not as well as them shoes, which were really worked...

It didn't see it before, but now I see why people said Joo Won from King of Baking looks like Dong-won!
I mean, WHOA! From this photo shoot, the resemblance is striking :D
His nose is a little sharper, but he and Joo Won..I can definitely see the similarities.

He always has the most bizarre photoshoots. It's like they don't know what to do with his ridiculously long, skinny body and just throw whatever they have lying around on him.
Then again, he has a weird sense of style himself, so maybe his stylists aren't completely to blame..
Ugh, I'm going to miss him. ㅠㅠ I'LL WAIT FOR YOU, HUSBAND.
And just in case any of you missed it: KANG DONG-WON IS MINE. I WILL FIGHT YOU ALL. GRR.

The man is indeed handsome ... in an unconventional way. And that's good because he stands out from the sea male actors out there ... that tend to look feminine and alike.

In a good way, right? He IS very unusual looking, and it took me awhile to get used to it, but now I find him incredibly attractive. His gaze is very intense. I think that's why he was such a good model before taking up acting...

I literally will be devastated when he leaves for the Army. KDW is one of the few actors in Korean cinema that's gifted with great acting abilities. Very sad to see him go but at least he'll be leaving us with a pretty good body of work to watch while he's away for the next two years.
