Lee Je-hoon reports for military service
by javabeans
javabeans: Oh no! Lee Je-hoon (Introduction to Architecture, The Front Line, Bleak Night, Fortune Tellers) is off to army! Drat that draft.
girlfriday: Sigh. Takes ‘em all when they’re just peaking. But on the upside, it spits ‘em back out with post-army abs.
javabeans: This is one case where I’d forgo the army abs just to have him for two extra years. I can drool over most actors in a purely eye-candy way, but Lee Je-hoon? This one hurts. He’s amazing.
girlfriday: And he’s amazingly young, for being amazing.
javabeans: And he was amazing so amazingly early in his career. Which is amazing.
girlfriday: Basically, he is amazeballs.
javabeans: He’s not just a technically spot-on actor, but he’s got this blazing intensity that just sucks you right into his orbit. You know like those people with so much charisma that they could be talking to a group of people and you feel like they’re Talking To Your Soul? That’s how I feel about his characters. Your soul is hooked and maybe a little scared because the guy might be a weensy bit psychotic, but you love him anyway.
girlfriday: Er, that sounds intense. I think I’m fine letting you be the one sucked into psycho orbits and all.
javabeans: Probably a good idea. I need someone to pull me out into sanity! Although… I guess army duty can do that. Damn it.
girlfriday: Well if that orbit’s as strong as you say it is, no two years will stop that force.
javabeans: At least he left behind a pretty great filmography to rewatch. Sadly, none of those includes a decent drama.
girlfriday: I won’t do Fashion King, no matter how strong the gravitational pull.
javabeans: Eh… I think Fashion King has negative gravity. Repulsive magnetism? There’s a sciency thing for that, right?
girlfriday: So it cancels out the Lee Je-hoon Factor?
javabeans: Well it certainly shits all over it. *shakes fist at Fashion King*
girlfriday: I want him to come out and be Won Bin, but he doesn’t have the exposure for that yet. Drat that crap drama.
javabeans: Don’t count him out just yet! Won Bin has crap dramas on his resume, doesn’t he? Everybody gets a mulligan once.
girlfriday: Perhaps army duty will make those memories fuzzy, and then BAM! Hotness.
javabeans: That silver lining’s a little more like tinsel, but I suppose it’s better than nothing.
girlfriday: Hey, we take what we can get on Army Enlistment Day.

Every time they show pictures of the actors on enlistment day with their hair cut so short, they all look they are about 13 years old. I really think it is the hair cuts. They always look like little boys.

Definitely agree with you. It makes him look more manly, less boyish. I adore his acting, yes, even Fashion King ;-)
He was a pitiful character which takes acting chops to project.

I'm glad he did Fashion King! Did I just say that??? Yes, I did. Team Baby Loan Shark forever! What a slap in the face, that character.
Really don't want to let him go. At least he doesn't look too depressed. In fact he is very good looking on those pics.
Will miss him, that's for sure.
Take care, man. Sending good vibes your way.

He really is amazing, and I can't wait until he comes out again. He looks so much younger to me than his actual age, and it's not just these pictures. I seriously thought while watching Front Line, why did they cast someone so young, and then he filmed Architecture 101 that made me think he was in his early twenties until I saw an interview... and he's 28. He really looks young for his age! To think he'll be 30 when he comes back.
Well, best of luck!!

I was just discovering him in those films.He was SO good in them so it was really disappointing to watch him in FK. I liked him in it, but not that dud of a drama, FK. Hopefully, when he returns he will finally get a good drama.
One consolation when he returns, ARMY ABS!
