hahaha the picture at the end made my day xD

I saw him on healing camp, he wasn't so bad there. Granted he wasn't mc-ing but, he was charming and not stiff.

Lol..this is so random. It came out of nowhere..but ok. I love Lee Dong Wook so I am a happy camper.

Yes, i was surprised too when i first read the news. But, who knows... I'm not against being pleasantly surprised. He must be tired of dramas.
I didn't know he was in the army with Kim Jae Won. And talking about KJW, what is that man doing since he had his accident? Anyone knows?

Wow! Where's ripgal?

Lolz...d abs definitely made my day if nt d fact dt lee dong wook can't do comedy !

girlfriday: If not, he’s still got his abs to fall back on. Metaphorically. Literally, he can only fall forward on them.

Hahahahahahaha this line totally made my day!

I'm looking forward to seeing how he does as an MC. I would like them to give him a buddy, and Boom would be pretty great. I don't follow Strong Heart religiously, but I do enjoy watching it.

He was quite humorous when he was on the episode of SBS' "Healing Camp". I think that's when the PDs thought he may be a good pick for being a MC,

Oh wow, the last picture got me nearly crosseyed.

Sigh.

But in the first picture he is really skinny compared to his army picture. Guess they were feeding him well back there.

Maybe Strong Heart would end up to be like "those" type of shows. Y'know. The regular ol' talk show - just a few more guests at one time then having one at a time.

With Lee Dong-Wook, I see Strong Heart going into the the regular talk show area and losing it's funny.

Broody shower picture abs. Thatiskindafunny

Whut? Lee Dong Wook? Really?

Let's see how he fares...

I read about this potential hiring of Wookie for SH late last week, so I've had a bit of time to chew on it.

At first my reaction was a total WTF? PuppyEyes on the podium? He's reallly purtty, but a funny MC? Nope.
But then I had the bright idea to check out some YT BTS footage from WR - and the Wook definitely can bring the funny. Not hahahaha funny, but really clever, snarkyish humor - kinda like Seung-riri's. That's a good thing.

What I don't want to see is Boom taking up any more airtime than he does now on SH. Can't stand him - he's obnoxious to the max and just full of himself. He has a really bad tendency to take over the action of the show, interrupting guests to redirect the attention to himself.

I'm willing to give LDW a healthy chance to succeed here. I just hope his contract specifies that he has to display those cut abs at least once a show.
:)

I was enjoying reading the banter, then I got to the last picture and forgot what I read. ^__^

I think he CAN be funny but maybe it'll exhaust him a bit coz from previous interviews and me2 messages, he could be quite broody and sensitive...so I'm thinking he will not go towards the FUNNY when mcing..maybe more the Kim Eun Jeung kinda MC...and he IS getting a partner for the show...I hope it is BOOM cause he's a natural...LSG is different...he's such a good boy and definitely NOT broody, sad to see him go...and I agree with EVERYTHING SAID BY GF AND JB...that's how I see LDW...I prefer him to be mysterious and out of reach...he's cooler that way..hehehe *don't kill me fans*

I...am at a loss for words. I wanna see the episode first before I judge. And is this the trend right now? Actors going on to variety? Granted most actors were in variety shows first a long long long time ago, but I think the influx of actors going to variety nowadays is coming in huge amounts. Joowon, Seung-woo, Tae-hyun, Song Ji-hyo, Kang Sora, Jang-woo, and of course Tae-woong. I think Tae-woong kinda opened new doors for actors without much variety experience. Are they gonna overpower idols in variety, soon? Will they succeed? Hahaha!

Anyway, hurrah for Wookie! They should totally go for another variety veteran to guide him, though. Granted Strong Heart's more about the guests, but an MC should never fade in the background. Especially an MC as pretty as him.

why not? I never thought Lee Seungi would be good at it but he is ,all he needs is Kang Ho Dong to do the rest :D

He actually did an Army version of the sort of 1N2D. He was with Boom, Andy, and Lee Junki, I believe. He was actually funny. In that super dry and sarcastic way.

Hee. The two of you nicely embody the concept that two good friends just having fun and making silly jokes off each other is totally the Crack!

I didn't believe at first. I thought, may be the same name but different person.. I like him but I don't know if he is good in variety. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing him in variety shows. But doing a full time MC gig.. he seemed the type to focus just on acting. Hopefully he gets a co-host! I would love to see his variety persona, so I'll watch it!

You guys are just too funny! Love love the last photo!

The last photo just made me took off my glasses, clean the lenses...just to make sure I can see clearly...lol

Now I have to read the article again..:))

I suppose it's all a mix-mash now. No longer can actors complain about people from other fields intruding upon their 'space' lol.

Omg yes!!!!!!

OOOOOO ~ OOOOO~ OOOOOO!!!! O_O

LEE DONG WOOK...?? Ah, that'd be great for us to watch him in Strong Heart & it might be interesting, of cooourse.

GOOOOOOO FOR IT!!!!

FIGHTING, LEE DONG WOOK! \^____^/

LDW to replace beloved LSG?! my fave k-actor after another (hey, they're just a bunch of them anyways, including GY and HB).. this is greeeeaaaaaaat!!! though i must agree that having no variety experience puts me on the wary side of this update, overall i am excited... seeing this side of Wookie gives me the gooseys... dry sense of humor or not, this eye candy is worth it! (so much for the fangirl in me!) now, i can claim new Strong Heart as a fancy birthday present come April... please be funny Wookie to keep me happy!

okay, maybe I will start watching variety shows after all!

All right, his abs talked me into it, imma watchin. Add those slept deprivation puppy eyes of his and I'll get lost in those shows.

If all else fails LDW, then flash those ABS on the show. I'll forgive every mistake you make. ^ , ^

it will totally be christmas in april if they paired Wookie with Kim Sun Ah in this hosting gig... Ok, I am a self-confessing SunWook fan. so shoot me!!! (or not, please dont shoot me.)

But really, Kim Sun Ah is really bubbly and funny from what I've seen in her reality guestings. and Wookie is sort of more moody and emo. that will be an interesting interaction to watch.

anybody with me????

I think they should put it in his Strong Heart contract to show his abs at least once every episode. What do y'all think? :-)

This is an interesting development. He is one of my favorite actors. I wonder who's going to sub this. Strongheart episodes are hard to find subbed, unless a particular fan group subs for their bias guest.

I never imagined him MC'ing a variety show. I mean he's Hella funny in comedic roles, but on the fly? I wish him the best and can't wait to watch.

Thank you for the ABS.
Made my day.

well, if you think about it, no one really knew if Lee Seung Gi would be good either. but as we all know, he was pretty damn good. so i don't know, this man is easy on the eyes, and he looks like he could be funny...........i guess he's the ideal replacement for Lee Seung Gi. the only difference is that Lee Seung Gi had Kang Ho Dong to learn from (and Kang Ho Dong is a variety legend). so i guess we will all just have to wait and see. any whoo, good luck to Lee Dong Wook! FIGHTING!!!!

Omo! I have never heard of Strong Heart...now I can't stop thinking about it. Or maybe its Dong Wok's abs...*sighs*...I can't decide. That picture just did me in...I can't seem to remember what I was even doing the Internet in the first place.lol

kim sun ah should co-host with him.

Wookie abs, I mean, Wookie is not that funny in the funny role.

I love to watch Strong Hearts. Just like Seli comments, it hard to find Eng subbed episode.

May be that 'll give him a chance to transfer to another entertainer role.

Last picture is the best!!

Tho I am in doubt of his MC-ing skill but am so looking forward to seeing him on screen more often. Yup i do agree with some of u.. show that abs once in a while :)) Oh well, let's gv him a shot...

Yeah...I also think Park Boom would be a natural choice for an MC or co-MC.
