Film actor Jang Dong-gun (Typhoon, Friend) and much-loved and ubiquitous television MC Yoo Jae-seok (Infinity Challenge, Good Sunday, Happy Together 3, X Man) — who, by the way, are the same age — recently teamed up to shoot the “Cheer You Up” Campaign [힘내세요 캠페인] for fashion brand Giordano. And, true to its name, the photos are pretty cute.
(I mentioned in the recent Yoo Seung-ho post that the teen actor was one of a few Korean celebrities without many anti-fans. Someone asked who else there was — Jang Dong-gun and Yoo Jae-seok are both also anti-less stars.)
The Cheer You Up campaign will be featured this spring throughout Asia (including Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Dubai). The Korean ads featuring Jang and Yoo will begin appearing throughout the country on May 6.
(I think the photos are cute, although smiley faces with X’s for eyes always creep me out. I always thought X’ed eyes were shorthand for “dead” smileys, weren’t they?)

awwwww cute!
i aboslutely adore mc yoo.
though i’m not sure what the things on their shoulders are supposed to stand for?
Very cute, indeed. MC Yoo is jjang! =D He so fits the “Cheer You Up” campaign. I can’t help but smile whenever I see him.
I saw those ads in HK too a few weeks ago.
Um they are the same age?! Am I the only one who is surprised to hear that…
But those pics did cheer me up, thanks.
I always thought X’ed eyes meant “drunk” eyes for some weird reason. MC Yoo is my favorite! Especially in X-man and now Family Outing. “Are you dating?” LOL
Same age?! Holy moly…..
God can really be unfair huh? Anyhow, these pics are cute but the X smilies ARE creepy! They’re not supposed to mean good things…
hehe yoo jae suk
DD
ahh, now i get it! i’ve been seeing those zonked-out smileys all over big malls here in singapore too. the two of them are so cute xD i love mc yoo!
Those pics truly depicts what they are used for: CHEER YOU UP. They are so cute…. It’s good to laugh a little bit in this stressful life ;P
lol too cute!
ahh i love yoo jae suk!!!! (:
MC Yoo is too cool to have Antis.
The grasshopper is too classic for haters, I loved him in XMAN when he use to dance with Kyung Lim, especially the bolero xDDD
Yes yes, I also the one who just realized that they’re same age…
MC Yoo is already married, when will be your turn, Dong Gun-ssi?
Anyway, I just imagined MC Yoo will call JDG with ” Dong Gun-aa”, that’s so cute!!!!
I adore both of them..and of course, if I have them smiling in front of me, i would definitely cheer UP!!!!
FHDKJFHDFKJDSFSKHD! OMG, MC Yoo is so ridiculously adorable. XD JDG is pretty adorable in these pictures, too.
I’m not surprised MC Yoo has no anti’s. How could anyone possibly hate that man? <3
aww, I am actually smiling because of these pictures.
I love MC Yoo! And Jang Dong-gun is always handsome. How???
yeah MC Yoo is too adorable, i always laugh when he’s on family outing or any other show he hosts. it’s what divides korea and other countries… in canada, mc’s are supposedly suppose to be poise and professional .. but sometimes people don’t understand that it can be boring to be like that all the time.. jae-seok is funny and makes everyone feel comfortable.. not to mention fabulous actor dong-gun, cutie!
is it just me or do they both have the SAME nose in the first picture???
@anna
they are supposed to be “taped” up by the ducktape on their sholders
Both men are perfect husband materials. Can i just hang JDG on my bedroom wall like that??….
cuteness
I loled so much my tummy hurts. It’s cute and fun ^o^
I’m never able to imagine Jang Dong-gun doing this stuff, but even though I have seen him do these things before and take fun pics, each time it’s always surprising.
jdg is like the most gorgeous man ever!
I always have an impression that X-ed eyes are high or insane.
LOL they are soooooo cuteeee:D
Jang Dong Gun has no antis? I thought some people, mostly males, didn’t like him because he never had to go the army and that kind of thing is a big deal for them.
Yoo Jae Seok honestly has zero antis. You really can’t hate the guy. He does no wrong.
aww adorable!!
btw, just wondering but are there any female celebs who are anti less?
not many males do the whole stupid anti-thing… its not their thing,, unless they are fanboys. but fanboys are rejects of korean society. antis are ppl who join up in antifan clubs. u can say ” i dont really like this celeb” and not be anti… that would mean the entire world’s celebs would have antis. cuz i know that alot of ppl dislike some celebs. antis are ppl who are antifans.meaning they make clubs and shit.
Ahhh…that’s why Daniel Choi was wearing one of those shirts in today’s Job Well Done.
Cute ad.
I know that JDG is repeatedly voted the best looking male celeb in Korea but I just don’t see it.
As usual, YJS is as funny as always.
@15 shaaa :
noooo..they don’t have the same nose. JDG’s nose resembles a bishop’s nose (see the 4th pix)…and that’s waaay more attractive to me.
are these just supposed to make you happy?
so this was what it’s about… I’ve been wondering why the heck people in HK are wearing the same t-shirt everywhere…
ps. yeah, i thought the same about the eyes too… it is a manga thing, no?
They are both so cute, I want to put them in my pocket!
dubai? yeay, i want to get one of those shirts!
cant wait they arrive here =)
love mc yoo, i’m not surprised he is anti-less, he is the most loved mc ever i think.
They are both cute.
@bd…I know that JDG is repeatedly voted the best looking male celeb in Korea but I just don’t see it.
I can’t blame you if you’ll just look at his pictures because he’s not that photogenic. But for most of the Koreans including myself who have seen him in person, he’s really very good-looking.
omg the “are you dating?” thing cracks me up too
you just cant hate Yoo Jae Suk
suree did cheer me up :]
Dangyunhaji! (sorry, don’t know how to spell it!)
I love MC Yoo! He’s so cool, and so funny and the wittiest!!!! I’ve seen him in numerous tv shows and doing celebrity interviews etc and he never fails to make me laugh! No surprise at all that he has no anti-fans!
Don’t know much about Jang Dong Gun but he is good looking!
JDG is sooo cute. I”ll definitely buy that cheer up tshirt.
@ndegeocello
JDG has no antis because he’s really a very nice person and almost all Koreans especially males like him so much. And regarding the military service thing, he had a major operation when he was young that’s why he was exempted, so it was not his fault.
@javabeans: Let me guess, there’s no female celebrities in that anti-less club.
the stills already makes me happy. hehehhe.
lmoa…these really do cheer me up!!
thanks for sharing
