Blazing the Movie Trail:: Close up and personal with Bae Yong Joon
Posted at 07.Dec,2006 15:54  Comments 123 / Trackbacks 0

I KNOW I am not going to get any peace of mind until I start writing something about this Korean actor called Bae Yong Joon. Most of his female fans know him as Jun Sang of Winter Sonata.


Now, for crying out loud, the girls and women, regardless of age, want or dream that their husbands or boyfriends could just be like him, or maybe a passing resemblance.


Bae's fame only began in 2002 after he had acted in Winter Sonata which took Asia by storm. In fact, some of his biggest fans are residing in Japan where he's affectionately known as "Yon-sama".


 Since I am not Japanese I cannot elaborate on that term, but rest assured that it has something to do with Bae's "regal bearing".


I have been re-watching his video but can't find the regal bearing part but I am afraid to mention it to one ultra big fan of Bae staying in my house because I may just suffer a face-on collision with a rolled up newspaper.


What I personally think of Bae Yong Joon? Well, for a start, he is handsome. I admit so reluctantly because at one time in the very distant past, I would like to think that he resemblances me a little ... from a distance of 100 metres on a foggy morning.


In reality, Bae is 5ft 11in, which explains why he towers over his shorter co-stars in Winter Sonata. He was born on Aug 29, 1972, so that makes him 34 years old this year.


Do I hear "aiyah, miss the boat-lah!" in the background? He weighs about 48kg (148lbs). This information is exclusively for his female fans.


I don't know if he weighs more now, or less because I can't remember we having gone out for lunch together at all!


Anyway, Bae was rumoured once to have a girlfriend by the name of Lee San-gang but due to his rising popularity, his marital status is no longer considered a popular subject by his publicist. So right now, nobody knows whether he's single or attached.


I guess you can say he's still single. I really don't want to receive any hate mail. Bae's actual birth place is Mapo-gu in Seoul. His early education found him in Il-Mun Preschool and Myung-il Elementary School. According to those who knew him, he's basically a quiet boy, much like Kang Jun Sang of Winter Sonata before he suffered from memory loss.


In his teens, he studied at the Baejae Middle School and later Hanyoung High School. His tertiary education was at Sung Kyun Kwan University where he studied at the FTM (film, TV & multimedia) dept under the school of arts.


Actually, Bae went into acting first before pursuing university studies. His movie debut was in Ppilku (1994). Then, he went on to star in TV dramas like Salut D'Amour and Six Steps To Separation.


Malaysian Korean TV drama fans may have seen one of Bae's earlier appearances like First Love where he acted as Chan-woo.


Five years after he made his film debut, Bae returned to complete his education at the Sung Kyun Kwan University. After his graduation, he returned to television where he acted in the Hotelier, one of the more popular TV series.


It is the opinion of a number of his fans that Bae looks much better with long hair (again, like in Winter Sonata). Around the time when he was acting in Hotelier, Bae started growing his hair long. Perhaps this is where the "regal bearing" comes in.


Some fans have made public knowledge that his blood type is "O". I don't see the relevance of this information but every little detail is vital for his wide-ranging fans.


He is also a Roman Catholic and he loves fishing. His acting talent was noticed early in his career because shortly after he began his career, he received the Honourable Mention and Most Popular Actor award in 1996.


This was followed by Baek Sang Best Actor award in 1997 and the KBS Best Actor Award in 2002 (probably due to the immense popularity of Winter Sonata which came out in the same year.


After Winter Sonata, female fans went crazy over Bae who was reported to have caused a mini-stampede at Narita Airport in Japan on Nov 25, 2004 when he arrived for a half-day tour. Five thousand fans jammed the terminal.


In anticipation of the possible human chaos, 350 police officers and 70 anti-riot police went to the scene to control the crowd.


 Consequently, the Bae mania has taught Japanese police to be more vigilant whenever he appeared in public.


The following year (2005), again in August, Bae showed up at a hospital to visit a woman patient who was suffering from cancer.


She had apparently drawn hundreds of portraits of Bae Yong Joon, such was her devotion to him.


Bae must have been informed of this woman and he paid her a visit to cheer her up in hospital. Naturally, the Press had a field day covering the event.


The Seoul Times, issue of Dec 8, 2006 (today), reported that Koreans are now enjoying the much coveted status of celebrities.


All this hooha in Japan over Korean celebrities is contributed in no small way by guys like Bae when he visited Japan the year before last. ,/p>

Even Junichiro Koizumi when he was Japan Prime Minister commented that "Yon-sama (Bae Yong Joon) is more popular than me."


The actor's popularity among Japanese women has sparked off an unusual interest in Korean culture and language among the feminine gender.


This is compounded by the sudden surge in travel packages by Japanese women to South Korea.


And who says celebrities can't contribute to the GDP of their own country? Just ask Bae Yong Joon, women-magnet extraordinaire!


The promising young Korean actor comes from a family of one son and a daughter. He is the elder of the two. Besides fishing, he also loves computer games, golf, weight-lifting and photography.


If you are wondering why he looks so fit, it's because he also indulges in Kendo and Hapkido (Korean martial arts).


Bae has been doing commercials since 1995. They were and still are his "bread and butter". One of the commercials he appeared in was for that Korean car Hyundai Sonata. Bae is also the spokesman for the Japanese pizza chain of outlets called Pizza-La!


His latest movie is The Story of the First King's Four Gods which was completed this year. Bae's fans may be interested in April Snow, his other role after Winter Sonata.


Together with Korean actress Lee Young-Ae, Bae Yong Joon has become part of the famous Korean Wave that has swept across Japan, Hong Kong Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.


I am really amazed to find out that Bae has already published volume one of his pictorial biography at the ripe "old" age of 32 in 2004. The photo biography is entitled The Image: Volume 1.


At his current rate of success, we shall be hearing more about this debonair Korean actor who apparently has visited Malaysia back in 2004. Not to say that anyone who knows about him is going to let me forget of his existence.





I shall keep you all posted about this guy if I find out more.






Postage stamps of Bae Yong Jun were on sale recently. I understand that they were snapped up like hot cakes. Some of his diehard fans in Malaysia tried to get their hands on this precious commodity and came up empty-handed.

BYJ's Msia Family

found tis on yahoo search.
im glad u wrote about him ^^

looks like u did quite a bit of research too but there's some error.

1..commercials WERE his 'b&b' last time but not anymore especially now that he has cut down on so many of them. his latest is not for hyundai. the latest commercial film he did was for Secom (a japanese security co.) and just recently Lotte Korea released their winter commercial shots of him.

2..his latest work 'the story of the great king & 4 gods' is a drama and he is still filming on location in Jeju, south of korea. work is expected to complete next year n to be released in spring.

3..following Winter Sonata he acted in his first movie 'Untold Scandal' as Jowon in 2003. April Snow was next in sept 2005.

4..The Image Vol. 1 is not a biography. i would call it a 'pictography' or as the title suggest...'The Image' ^^ his visit here in 2004 was not an official visit but was part of the 'The Image' project where he went on to Phuket after KL for the pics.

do u know that he has a 'family' here in msia? we call ourselves 'BYJ's Malaysia Family' ^^
pls drop by our 'home' http:s15.invisionfree.com/Absolutely_BYJ
to discover more about him.

btw..im not an auntie n u may ask why am i so 'gaga' over tis man who lives 7 hours away by flight from me....well...till now im still searching for the answer. maybe u just hv to get to know him and become part of the family to understand why..

anyway..thank u so much for ur write up on him.

Shedding light on BYJ

Yokee,
Thanks for clearing the air about certain aspects of Bae's career.

I am sure there are more than a couple of people who will be grateful for such information.

Fillip  at 10.Dec,2006 00:41
incredible timing

I just saw my first K-drama which was of course by amazing chance, "Winter Sonata" and was totally mesmerized by the quality of acting...and now that I think about it...the way BYJ left that haunting impression on me...those looks...so I'm glad you filled me in on this apparently already much coveted actor...glad I didn't find out about him earlier..or else I would have lost my mind being so far from him over here in the US. But thanks-it's nice to know...and dream...

Mae  at 14.Dec,2006 15:40
I love BYJ

I love him tlga! I wish I can watch someday tha April Snow. I heard something about that drama and I want to see him again and his stunning smile that kills me softly.

I can say with great confidence that I am his biggest fan. It started when I saw him in Winter Sonata.

The ending was great because he became more handsome! I wish I was Choi Ji Woo to taste his kiss!! ahhhh!!! I can imagine it quite vividly.

wenvy ann salcedo  at 19.Jan,2007 11:23
Bae RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ms

thank u for the info. I guess he is really an image we all long to see.

But I think there is more to him of what anyone says. I hope he will come down to earth as all of us have place him on a pedestal until he cannot have his dream sleep.

Will pray for him to set his heart at peace and have a really good sleep. I think Bae knows himself more than anyone else. right!!!!!

Enough People!

OK, OK... I read all your comments. It is true that Bae Yong Jun is very hot!!
I did love him in Winter... These young Korean guys are clean cut and fashionable.
Maybe this is what we Asian women needed after all. So if you spent thousands
on your teeth and wear Armani from head to toe... Maybe there is hope. But you have
to find Winter, so that you can use those cashmere scarves...

I am impressed by the new generation of S.Korean film makers. Very artistic, and they
are changing the image of their country right now...

But after all these... Korean guys are Korean guys... If you married them, do you think
you can stay and live with their parents???? Ladies wake up!!!

When I see Bae Yong Jun... I see money... Maybe that is what we need...

Wen  at 01.May,2007 03:03
you need one more comment

I am also a fan of BYJ. Met him in Winter Love Song. He is what every woman would hope to find in a man.
Yes we know its his characters that make him special, but everyone needs a fantasy.
He has eyes that show all expressions, a killer smile (even in hotelier) and a voice that wraps you in a sensual blanket of words.
It's the tone(s) of his voice and the sincerity that speaks volumes.
Just gotta love the man for all his attributes and accomplishments. Wish he could visit the states and even better the east coast.

sharon  at 10.May,2007 03:30
hmmmmmmmmmm...

about BYJ... it seems that we need the power to stop the time for him, so that he never get old and stay the way he is 'the most handsome "in such a way" and fond man alive'.

It just that i feel very sad that after winter sonata, there is no "BIG MEMERISED ROMANTIC" drama or films that featured him being produced. only the SCANDAL, which i dislike his character but salute him for taking a different role and APRIL SNOW, that seems like a normal drama to me.

Where is the man that make my heart beat uncontrollably, where is BYJ, i can't feel his touch in this april snow as compared to winter sonata. i need to see him in a romantic movie or else i will die. pleaseeeeeee, any FILM DIRECTOR / SCRIP WRITER out there, please make a romantic movie for him.......... i beg you all.........

nadia  at 18.May,2007 19:56
Blue Apple!

I am also one of his fans... I heard that his mom saw a Blue Apple in her dream when she had him.

I actually do not understand myself why I support him this much? Well, he is handsome, I agree; however, he is not the most handsome man in Korea or in the world, is he?

If talk about his character in Winter Sonata, he is not Bae Yong Joon. He is Joon Sang, of course, Joon Sang. We cannot mix up his reality with his role. May be we like Joon Sang and not Bae Yong Joon?

Whatever the reason, I do not know too and so suprised to know that because of Joon Sang's character made him so popular like this.

Wish him all the best and wish to meet him in some days!

From Spanish to English - on BYJ

Okay folks, I have attached a below-average translation of the above text from a Spanish fan of Bae Yong Jun.

Hope it makes some sense to the rest of you:

"Hello I am Peruan girl who is really charmed by this actor in the K-drama series.

Bae Yong Jun is not only handsome, his acting talent fits his role perfectly in Winter Sonata.
Like many Spanish women who have seen his show, I am enamoured by his good looks and gentlemanly charms.
If any BYJ fans want to know more about me and my interest in K-dramas, they can contact me at my email:

Warmest regards and goodbyes, senors and senoritas!"

rosario  at 25.Jul,2007 07:31
Now the text in English...

Bae Yong Jun is perfect. In truth I do not get tired of seeing Winter Sonata.
No other Korean dramas can match Winter Sonata.
We have some of our TV dramas but none can even come close to Winter Sonata.
And the actors cannot live up to the standard set by BYJ.

Bae Yong Jun is truly the master of his craft.

Fillip  at 25.Jul,2007 17:51

i love yong joon. well, the one i saw in the korean novelas n movies. but is he real? considering some weird changes in him lately, where is the yong joon that i love so much? would somebody help me, please?

BYJ's latest Korean drama

For those hardcore BYT fans, the actor's latest TV drama The Legend or Tae Wang Sasingi, will only see the light of day two months from now.

That is, September. It was earlier reported that The Legend was scheduled for release in Korea in May but due to technical hitches, the release was held back.

According to sources, the CGI for that series have not been completed and further preparations had to be made to bring it up to international standards.

The Legend is supposedly a billion Kwon project and the TV drama has been slated to be screened in about 90 countries.

Such is the pulling power of Bae Yong Jun. His fans are also craving to see their favourite actor in another TV drama.

However, in the past few years, BYJ has been involved in a number of personal projects and assignments that have taken him away from the screen and the camera.

Hopefully, The Legend will live up to expectations.

Fillip  at 29.Jul,2007 17:19

Dear Bae Yong Jun, Once we knew about you in Egypt,it was also a coincidence!! Can`t this opportunitybe repeated? Dodi/Egypt.

Me and my mother just started watching Korean soaps this year. My cousin gave me a dvd of winter sonata. I was hooked and I like it alot. Bae Yong's acting was great. I am a filipino from South San Francisco CA.

K-drama fever

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, Mimi.

Korean dramas are a big thing right now in Southeast Asia.

Some of the Korean actors have become almost household names.

Now a lot of women think the majority of Korean men are so sensitive and romantic.

I think that may be confined mainly to the cinema screen!

Fillip  at 17.Aug,2007 16:13

I love BYJ after i watched his drama's winter sonata, he is very kind, gentle, and sweet. i try to get his news but his news very minim here

Winter Sonata

Winter Sonata is the best drama korean soap opera that I have watched and will continue to watch.

The performance of Bae is superb, my utmost admiration to him and am really awestruck by this drama.

It is so beautiful in all aspects to the tiniest. Well done. just hope there will be Winter Sonata Part II. Thanks and more success and power to the cast of Winter Sonata.

Congratulations

Winter Sonata

I like to see him in another drama opposite Choi Ji Woo. I love Winter Sonata & I think they look great together. I'm just wondering why there's no new project even a commercial of these two great actors together. They started the Korean wave.

Bae Yong Joon

I just started watching Korean soaps a few months ago and I got hooked. Specially winter sonata and Bae Yong Joon. Guess its hard to find a guy like that. Specially nowadays. I hope Bae comes to San Francisco so I can get to see him.

Mimi  at 22.Sep,2007 07:11
Awesome Bae Yong Joon!

Bae Yong Joon...you're the best! You are indeed awesome and you've got that warm smile. My heart skips a beat everytime I see your face. .. "Someday, when I'm awfully low, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight." Carry on. Be Happy! From the Philippines, with love.

More than physical beauty

Hi there people! Truly, BAE YONG JOON is really handsome. But more than his physical beauty, what makes him different from all the others is that he is full of humane beauty.

His beauty goes beyond physical. Just visit some of his websites created by "family" and read the articles about him. Then you'll know how thoughtful and considerate he is.

I've read a segment of the article entitled, "Ways to love Yonsama". You'll see him as a person who has a lot of impact on other people's lives.

His professionalism is well known, the staff and crew that he has worked with love him and his friends honor him.

I suggest you visit www.byjtogether.com and go to the NEWS.

To Fillip, thank you for taking time to write an article about BYJ. You may not be a fan of his right now but I bet that if you'll meet him---you might just become one of his avid fans. :)

Crystal  at 26.Sep,2007 09:15

After Winter Sonata and April Snow I am really looking forward to my next BYJ fix. He has restored my faith! Can't get enough

Tae Wang Sangini

Carole, you are in luck.
BYJ's latest TV drama is Tae Wang Sangini or The Legend.

It is currently being shown over Korean TV. I believe they are into their 9th episode now.

It is also the biggest budget K-drama epic series to date. Lots of big bucks and mega CGI.

Something like Lord of the Rings, I have been told.

Fillip  at 09.Oct,2007 15:36

oopsss.... wat's new 4 my idol???? hmmm.....i really missed u... and i am very puzzled w/ ur shyness & kind, eventhough ur already known and famous still ur feet stays on the ground...and i salute u for dat... God Bless!!!

Hi, the latest Bae Yong Joon's drama is called "Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi" (Korean title). It is being aired in Korea right now. The latest episode was 9th. It is sooooo gooood!! There are several episodes uploaded on Utube. Type Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi or The Great King, or the Legend, etc. You will see some of the episodes. Bae Yong Joon looks so georgeous in this new drama, as always.

He is truly a gift from God!!

Koyukiny  at 12.Oct,2007 22:41
i love him!!!!!!

thanks for the article that you made...i'm warvi and I am a very BIG FAN of bae yong jun.

I always wish that he will come and visit our country philippines especially in cebu.

I'm already 17 years old and i've been a great fan of BYJ since 2003 when the korean drama Winter Sonata was aired.

I bought a dvd of this drama and watch it over and over again.. i also watch almost all of his movies namely hotelier, april snow,& papa.

I collected a lot of pictures. and I should say that I really admire him..infact because of him im learning how to speak in korean and learn the korean cultures..in preparation to see him someday..i'm so crazy about him.

I cant write everything in this comment but I wish you can recognize this one and hopefully you can let BYJ read this.

I also edited a picture of BYJ and me. In fact I placed it in a frame and hang it in our living room. Hope I can let you see.. how i really wish to see him in person and let him know how crazy i am for him.. thank you so much...^.-

warvi balios  at 17.Oct,2007 15:33
BYJ will be happy with Warvi

Warvi, your devotion to BYJ will not go unnoticed.

I am sure one day when BYJ logs on to this site, he will thank you for your compliments and your devotion.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

Fillip  at 17.Oct,2007 16:53

francis  at 21.Nov,2007 17:28

I love Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo- in Winter Sonata which I watched over and over again. Anymore movies together in the future Mr Producer?

Irma Agapay  at 22.Nov,2007 12:06

I'm an avid fan of Bae Yong Joon. I have watched Winter Sonata, Hotelier, Papa, Did We Really Love and Barefoot To Youth. He's really a great actor. I hope he'll continue making beautiful drama series. God bless and more power!

francis  at 24.Jan,2008 12:42
hi

hi yong joon? u a good actor
you are from me ! i love u
marry me u my love


Fillip: Sorry Shady, I think BYJ is not the marrying kind - at the moment anyway.

If it's any consolation, you and half the female population of Japan (who are his ardent fans) share the same thought!

What a lucky man he is!!

shady  at 31.Jan,2008 04:34

i love BYJ so much! i hope i can see him in person

janice  at 02.Feb,2008 17:58

luchie  at 22.Feb,2008 16:37
I'm just crazy about him!!!

I have just finished watching his "Wang Created 4 God" and I love it but not as much with his Winter Sonata. I can't count anymore how much did I watch that Winter Sonata. Even I already have 213 Korean novela dvds I still keep on watching Winter Sonata. I even have his picture in my wallet together with my family. I cut it from one of the dvd's cover. Since I was not able to find his picture. It's just tonight that I saw his handsome pictures in one of your collection. In fact I also saw his ad in Ray ban. It's a poster actually. And I told the manager to give it to me if ever they will change it. That's how I like byj.

marjorie ellen  at 22.Feb,2008 20:56

BAE YONG JOON You are the best. Any role you portray bewitch your female fans. Any haircut you don suits you. Hope i may be able to do an outfit for you. Btw, i'm a designer.

Appreciate the updates. Looking forward to his new films 'The Legend'.

Zsa  at 16.Mar,2008 20:00

Hope someday BYJ would come to New York for filming another movie or the tvdrama series in the future with CJW. They are great fantastic actors. Can you make a plan in the future Mr. Producer? It would be great if you make the filming here in New York City.

Bronette Perez  at 17.Mar,2008 10:35
I'm longing to meet you

I am one of BYJ fans in the Philippines. I wish that someday he will pay us a visit here.

And of course, I want to meet him in person. He really capture every woman's heart the way he smiles. Those eyes of his also.

Glenda  at 25.Mar,2008 14:08
hi?

bae yong joon is my favorite korean actor.

I really love watching his movies especially winter sonata.I fell in love with him...he is such a good actor.

I always replay the winter sonata on youtube...my big wish is to see bae in personal.....i love you bae and good luck for your career!

anna  at 08.Apr,2008 11:33
Hypnotic

Thank you very much Fillip for this blog... After reading all these comments, and recalling the BYJ films and dramas I watched, I still have one question to ask... Does BYJ read (and understand) and speak excellent english?

He'll truly be the epitome of manhood if he does. Wow. If not --- that's okay. The thing is, aside from his "regal bearing"... I guess what "gets to" women is the way BYJ doesn't really need words to convey a message, his eyes, his smile and his "persona" speaks for him...

Thank you once again. More power to BYJ. Filipinas are gaga over him too, though it's not really recognized --- he is well supported here in the Philippines, too.

(Probably that's the reason why Koreans receive wonderful hospitality when they come to study English here?)

Saranghamnida.

frances jesusa  at 13.Apr,2008 12:20
Hi Bae Yoon

Wow... i really admire you as an actor a brilliant one...you have a different impact to us your female fans. Hope you could come here in the Phils.

mhel (Asian Hospital & Medical Center)  at 19.Apr,2008 23:17

Es muy agradable tener noticias de este talentoso actor, lamentablemente no son tantas y actuales ojala mandara un Mensaje para Sudamerica a sus muchas fans y este fuera el medio de comunicacion se lo agradeceriamos mucho! besos de Venezuela

Translated to English from Spanish:

He is very pleasant. I am glad to read this article about this talented actor.
