Jung Il-woo in London in April
After Return of Iljimae actor Jung Il-woo wrapped his series in early April, he headed to Europe for a solo vacation. He started off in England, where he shot some photos for Elle Magazine (pics below), then set off through the Continent, some photos of which he posted on his mini-homepage (also below).
Now the actor is back at home, has shorn his Iljimae hair short, and is planning his next official activity in the form of Japanese fanmeeting. I wouldn’t think Jung has a very high profile in Japan — his previous projects weren’t really export pieces, like the family sitcom Unstoppable High Kick — but Return of Iljimae is currently broadcasting in Japan, where it was pre-sold even before its Korean premiere.
The event will be held on June 20 in Tokyo.
The Europe photos were all taken in mid-late April; this shot below is the most recent and shows his shorter hair; it was taken at a May 16 blood drive at Hanyang University.
Here are the London-shot photos from Elle magazine:
But here are more candid shots, also in London:
And a few in Barcelona:
Via Chosun, Elle Korea

i like this one. but man why are his legs looking so thin…
he’s hot !!!!
he’s damn fine!
I’m not sure I like his new haircut.. It looks a little too chunky and choppy. Maybe it’s a bad angle? o.O
Ahh, magazine-sponsored vacations. Do Korean celebs these days manage to go on vacation in a foreign country WITHOUT a photobook/magazine shoot while they’re there? And how many times can celebs do photoshoots in London or Paris without it getting old? You’d think someone would try something new, like Brazil or Egypt. I’d be interested in seeing THOSE shoots..
The photos themselves are nice. I’m amused by his purple/pink bag in the last few shots. XD
He seems to like pink. Pink shirt. Pink pants.
The pics with his shades on… his face looks… feminine….omo…
Totally agree, people might mistaken him for a girl with his shades on.
Looks happier in Barcelona, than in London. Rainy day blues.
Much prefer his long hair, new cut looks like he had Han Hyo Joo’s hairdresser from Brilliant Legacy.
Good old London, its wet as always.
My sis thought it was Goo Hye Sun from far.
I would LOVE to have the opportunity to photography in London. It is such a beautiful place! Jung Il woo really pulls off the hairstyle. He looks great.
If Korea is to make their version of HanaKimi they should definitely make him the lead role of Izumi Sano, he has the perfect image..especially with those long legs..
Didn’t he go backpacking by himself? I guess this is how stars do it, they backpack in style. I imagined him in North Face from head to toe.
Oooh hottie! The man has such an enviable complexion!! Jung and Lee Dong Wook probably have the best skin for male actors in showbiz. Love them both too
awww..i’m jealous..I wish I’m in europe right now..
but, is that a checkered bag he’s carrying around? I must start watching Return of iL Jimae…
*shoots self in face* WHY. AM I. NEVER. THEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *sobs* damnit. I guess Id have to become a stalker fan before I could be there by “chance”. I say no thnak you to that. Anyway, he looked tranquil
i know i’m a sucker for pretty boys but…
he looks more feminine than i am TT______TT
(like a tall lady who can pass as a guy, well i guess it goes both ways :p)
i dunno if i should be happy about that (him being more feminine than an actual boyish girl like me) or not. ahaha.
Is he… donating platelets in one of those pictures?
He’s pretty AND charitable.
(sigh)
Nice to see him put his celebrity to a good cause.
But woah Jung Il-woo, in that pic of his blood donation, looks so much like Yoon Jin-seo (his Return of Iljimae co-star)!
He is so thin and pale! Love the 1st shot from Barcelona. Carefree yet cool. So damn pretty!
I want him. So, oh, so, much.
Awwww!!! Finally, news about him..
I love him in past, present and future..
Yes, he’s a pretty boy and he should be in F4 Boys Over Flowers..
His current haircut suits him more..
Wish he had shorter haircut just like in the old days (High Kick and My Love)..
Always love him..
Il Woo yaa~~~I love you just the way you are….
he reminds me of Lee Junki from another iljimae drama.
wow! hottt
i’m not a fan of his long hair but it does make him look more edgy and mature.
i hope he returns to highkick 2
he’s gotten so tall & handsome ^_^…
Hmm…..interesting fashion choices. O_o
I think I prefer the Joseon attire.
And the longer hair suits him.
But I do like the spectacles.
Doesn’t Partner need a smexy, young intern added to the cast?
SNIFF SNIFF!!! i am jealous of him cause he went to my favourite places…..london and barcelona!!!!
he looks good tho!
These are great pictures of him. Very handsome man. However…..could someone please explain to him that it’s not a vacation if you are “working” by doing a photo shoot; that’s a business trip. :p
is it popular for korean guys to carry big bags. cuz here in the US mostly girls carry the one he has. hahaha i wonder who got his blood. then they have the HOTNESS in their veins
Dude has to cut his hair, pack up some muscles and look more like a namja..
he’s cute! love him in unstoppable high kick!
you know from those photos he kinda looks like Joo Ji Hoon, but a liter version haha
He’s got that refined pretty boy beauty. I thought he went off alone tho, the pics don’t look like he was alone on his trip.
such a cutie, gotta love il woo. lol
he looks like joo ji hoon
he looks good and happy ! love his photo-spread for Elle
i don’t like his haircut coz it make him look like the guy in “IT STARTED WITH A KISS”, a taiwanese actor. I think he’s way too good looking.
look at the upper first picture of him. the jacket he use was the same jogging pants in Shinhwa high in boys over flower.
he’s iljimae

he looks like joo ji hoon
yeah. definitely. This is the same face when Joo Ji Hoon was in princess hours.
OMG he is sooooooo smoking hot. I can’t wait for his next drama or movie.
I chuckle to see his “shorter” hair. :p
… he looks more girly than ever????
@ 33 and 37
He looks like JJH? *me perking up!!!*
mmmm….. in some angles, he seems like JJH…
anyway, he looks soooo HOT! I mean, pretty boy HOT…. ^-^
Liking the man bags! Gee, man bags are getting nicer and nicer huh…
His hairstyle…. doesnt really make much of a difference…still, i can hardly see his face…
am waiting for the return of iljimae dvd…..*sigh*
Hmm…I was just thinking that when I was looking at the pics…he does look like JJH from certain angles.
hahaha he is damn pretty…………
I’d like to see him carry a clean cut hair.. I bet he’s prettier than that long crop he still is having even the latest one with his blood letting session. (prettier than most of us mere mortals).
i definitely like his personal style. the elle style doesn’t appeal to me at all. i wonder if I could pull off his hair. again, i like his hair better in the candid shots than in the elle photos.
wow! I just noticed his huge tote bag! that’s hot!
i also thought he said he is backpacking..alone. oh well. the candid pictures look nicer though, more relaxed.
@hjkomo:
hehehe…he does look more manly and cool in the ROI clothes.
hate the bangs. Please get rid of it.
solo vacation, right?
who took this pics then?
or travelling with a tripod?
does not like pics taken with a tripod
It seems that he’s naturally pretty as a real Korean style (small eyes, long face) he’s very manly in return of Iljimae
ammmf…
He really looks like JOO JI HOON on the first picture….
Am I right…???
hmmmmmm….
