Send your birthday wishes to Gil Dong, er, Kang Ji Hwan!
On the 20th, Kang Ji Hwan celebrated his 32nd birthday (DOB listed as March 20, 1977) with fans and Hong Gil Dong co-stars in Seoul at Konkuk University. And while fans of the drama might be happy about this bit of jokey interplay between Enok and Gil Dong —
— I’m much more interested in this. Look! It’s Jin Yi Han! (Of Conspiracy in the Court and the currently running Who Are You?) Omg, it’s like fangirl central for me.

He’s too cute, wow I didn’t know he was turning 32, he doesn’t even look his age.
happy birthday Gil Donga ^_^ but where is Chang Whe hm…..
“fangirl central” kekeke.
KJH wrapped in a big bow… now could someone just deliver him to my doorstep!
Happy Birthday to my favourite cutie pie!
HGD/KJH, I hope you had as much as fun as it looked. You can be my present any day (except I think I would have to fight javabeans for the honour).
It was a pleasant surprise to see Jin Yi Han in pictures of KJH’s birthday fan meet. Definitely fangirl central!
Ha… you really like that Jin Yi Han fellow huh? I thought he had a charm too when I first saw him in Mixed-Up Investigative Agency. I hope he gets more projects in the future… Is he a friend of KJH?
Anyway, yayyyyy Happy Birthday Kang Ji Hwan! I’ve yet to pick up on the Hong Gil Dong episodes.. Fortunately, there’s cable! I absolutely absolutely adore him!
It looks like he had fun. Happy bday Gil Dong! He looks older than I thought but he’s good looking so who cares!
Aw, could he be any cuter than that? Excuse the fangirl scream :”$@&()^%$^”. Thirty is the new twenty. Hehehe, javabeans, you miss out by living in the states.
Happy birthday, Kang Ji Hwan. Look like you’re having the time of your life, babe. Hope that life brings you many more pleasant surprises this year.
P.S. : How old is Jin Yi Han? He looks slightly older than KJH …
Jin Yi Han is a year younger (1978). Kang Ji Hwan got his start in musicals, so I wonder if that’s how they met. They’re also both with the same management company.

Ahhh could Kang Ji Hwan BE any more adorable?
And about Jin Yi Han, I’m watching Who Are You? right now (after seeing how much you like it) and I can totally understand your love for him.
They are both so adorable!
fan girl central indeed ^__^
He looks really happy
Too cute! Today I’m proudly calling myself a fangirl, but it’s only for his birthday; tomorrow I won’t go screaming and smiling to myself 
Ok, I will, just give me more HGD 
hahaha that red bow reminds me of those traditional Chinese weddings where the groom has to wear a red bow! Kang Ji Hwan looks so happy- i don’t think i’ve ever seen a celebrity look so excited abt a birthday! Jin Yi Han and Kang Ji Hwan look like brothers!
Happy Birthday KJM. Wishing you more birthdays to come and more success on your career!!
HGD/KJH happy B-day! I’ll barrow Enok’s infamous line: “I love you!” hehe. And he sings too? Wow, that’s a plus.

I read the recaps for Hong Gil Dong and scroll down to the comments…and I find that the one I stop to read and then mark and keep as a note to myself is always yours. And I’m nodding vigorously and want to have conversations…but how can I find you?
Kang Ji Hwan’s all smiles…XD and he’s soo freaking adorable..
Didn’t know that JYH and KJH are/were good friends… wow, they must have killed a lot of girls in their company..:P

Sorry, tealeaf – can’t stop drooling….
Jin Yi Han and Kang Ji Hwan…..mamma mia!
How about a Gildong/Enok duet for the HGD finale? Wouldn’t that be great – with a few GilNok kids running around and dancing?
wouahhh….i’ve just discovered KJH since watching HGD …FINALLY he’s a very great actor and i really appreciated this drama.it was the very fisrt that i saw a such good drama where i didn’t be annoyed watching it….BRAVO!!!!!!
I forgot … happy birthday …. KJH enjoy your 32 years!!!!!!!!
Happy Brithday …………KJH (my brithday same with u)
you is great actor and i hope see u soon in other drama
He is so cute , almost handsome like a real man . I like the characters of the movie ! So happy birthday to ” Hong Gil Dong ” Kang In Hwan !!!
What??? His birth year is 1977?? That makes no sense because DramaWiki says he was born in 1979! Oh noooo, such disparity between legit sources makes me sad
Can anyone clear up this?

happy beleted birthday……2 u
Sometimes we really don’t take the time to read the beautiful comments we receive. Let’s see if you read this one. Think about this for a minute…
If I happened to show up on your door step crying,
Would you Care?
If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something Happened,
Would you come?
If I had one day left,
to live my life;
Would you be part of That last day?
If I needed a shoulder
to cry on,
Would you give me Yours?
This is a test to see
who your real
Friends are or if you are just someone to talk to you when they are bored
Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes?
They blink together, they move together,
They cry together, they see things together, and they sleep together,
But they never see each other;
.. that’s what friendship is.
Your aspiration is your motivation, your motivation is your belief, your
Belief is your peace, your peace is your target, your target is heaven, and
Life is like hard core torture without it
It’s
‘ World Best Friends Week.’
so…..wanna b my friend?…..
