Jung Il-woo’s guerrilla date causes a stir
by javabeans
Scheduler/Iljimae pretty boy Jung Il-woo (49 Days, Return of Iljimae) recently recorded a guerrilla date for KBS’s Entertainment Weekly program, which created a stir when the taping took him to the streets of Seoul’s Hongdae neighborhood without warning. Imagine that the world dropped a Jung Il-woo on your doorstep, and picture the chaos and fan frenzy that would ensue — yeah, that’s basically what happened.
The segment was filmed on the evening of June 9, and involved a wish-granting bit with bystanders on the street. Um, I’m pretty sure I know what I’d wish for, but I’m also pretty sure it wouldn’t be broadcast-appropriate. *Imagines*
The date lasted just over an hour, though “date” is just a friendly way of saying casual interview, as Jung talked about what’s been going on in his life since the end of his most recent drama (49 Days), as well as sharing stories of his school days and his well-known BFF relationship with Lee Min-ho. Seriously, together they are just too pretty.
I know I can’t be the only one for whom the concept of a guerrilla date makes me think of the most recent episode of Best Love, wherein Dokko Jin takes advantage of Ae-jung’s new job as an entertainment correspondent to plan a “star date,” since they can’t go on a real date without blowing their cover. Too cute — and it also ensures that I’ll forever look at flirty vibes on entertainment programs with a skeptical eye. Like the hawk-eyed netizens needed any more excuses to jump to conclusions based on the type of jewelry stars wear, or their choice of fashions!
Jung Il-woo’s guerrilla date segment airs on the June 11 broadcast of Entertainment Weekly.

this is really absurd. why making such a big fuss over this kind of stupid thing?! why waste the space if you're just gonna say "FIRST"? unless dramabeans is giving some kind of a reward for those whole comment first, with the word "first". i don't get it, so stupid!
just leave the space to those people who have more sensible comments. my gosh!

I guess some people do get jealous because they can't be first to comment so they call other people stupid. Get a life. Just to have fun and STOP calling names and let other people enjoy being first for once and focus on the drama itself. Say something more sensible and let people comment whatever they want. Its call freedom of speech.

I don't really mind when people do that. I do think it's a little weird, though @_@~ It shows how much people these days are geared towards competition! D: First, last? What difference does it make? Best, worst? All these judgments all the time, they make me crazy sometimes XD Just do your thing and don't care about expectations and stuff, even though that's really difficult ^^

I read an interview where he said he'll probably choose his next project in about 2 months. Let's hope it's true!
BTW, how long does it usually take between signing onto a project and the actual broadcast date?

How freakin' CUTE is he?! Especially when he flashes that noona-killer smile of his.
These last few hours have been difficult.
Lee Min Ho, now is BFF and one of our
thoughtful commenters posted a Seung-Gi (Puuppppy!) link where he's singing the OST from MGIAG and he's making "HOI-HOI" finger gestures while he's dancing!!
I have to go check my sugar levels - way too much hot sweetness here!

" Imagine that the world dropped a Jung Il-woo on your doorstep " .....
Ok....
He is such a cutie. I think I would let out a small scream, squeeze all the stuffin' out of him and pinch his cheeks. Then of course I'd invite him in and feed him lots of good food. Then there would be the deep conversation about his life, career and a little about LMH. All the while my daughters would be sitting nearby giggling. Snap a few pictures, get an autograph, and a promise for another visit. Then secretly send him home with the knowledge that he has an American Noona he can visit anytime.

LOL! I was thinking it but didn't write down my thoughts either.
Mostly, I think if I ever saw Jung Il-woo in real life, my true reactions would be - blinking, pinching myself to make sure this isn't a dream, awkward starring, followed by horrible korean and possibly fainting - in that order.

Welcome Cap Rice! You will have lots of fun here.
Well, the boy is waaaayyyyyy too young for me. When they are that young I get more of a Noona vibe towards them. However, if they are over 35 it is a different story!

Yessss, his smile is to die for!!! Seriously I love me some Korean actors but JIW owns my heart and soul. It's actually JB's fault, for introducing me to Return of Iljimae. :) Since then, I have become completely smitten with JIW, and even more head over heels upon reading thoughtful, intelligent interviews. I watched (and loved) 49 Days because of him, and believe me, his tears get me even more so than his gorgeous smile... :D

I don't even know what I'd do if I saw him in the street like that. I would freak out, of course, but I don't think I'd be brave enough to crowd him or get super super close to him!
Can't wait until his next drama! But he should rest up a bit, first. ^_^

I would squeal and then faint ~♥ I would then regain consciousness and proceed to burst out laughing uncontrollably unable to say a single word in Korean.
Long-term effect would be I spending the rest of the week in a state of giddiness, struggling to steady my excitement, while grinning with the sweet memory of his dulcet voice and fetching persona.
Sigh~ My imagination has run wild *blush*... *Cheshire cat grin *

Seriously, how can such hotness exist and actually walk the streets of Seoul? I will definitely have to book a trip to Korea and hope and pray that I catch JIW on another guerilla date :D
