Fans anticipate Chun Jung-myung’s upcoming army discharge

Yay! With so many twentysomething actors heading off for military service, it’s always nice to see others finishing up and heading back. I’m especially excited to see Chun Jung-myung returning to civilian status this month, and fans are starting to prepare their welcome when he is discharged on November 27.

Chun enlisted on January 2, 2008, and has served in active duty for the past 22 months. A source from his fan club explained their plans to meet the star upon his release, with some fans even planning on flying in from overseas. They are preparing gifts, banners, and signs for the occasion, which coincides with Chun’s birthday, as the star turns 30 two days after his discharge.

I fell in love with Chun Jung-myung’s acting in dramas like What’s Up Fox and Goodbye Solo. (Other titles on his resume: Fashion ’70s, Hansel and Gretel, The Aggressives.) He can act with intensity and maturity in a way that belies his baby face, but also has a lovable playful side. Can’t wait to see what he does next.

    I’m super excited to see what’s he’s going to do next! I loved him in What’s Up Fox and Goodbye Solo.

    He’s a great actor to me. He DOES have that great acting ability to be so mature with that baby face. That’s what I loved about What’s Up Fox. He could portray such a mature guy for being so young and in love with an older woman.

    I’m so excited. I’m happy for his family! I bet their glad too.

    Time flies but glad he’s back. Honestly, we need him to show these youngsters how to kiss…hehehehehehe. Ooh, did I just say that? I’m blushing right now(using two hands to fan my hot cheeks).

    Eherm…ehem…I will be anticipating both their next projects.

  27. javabeans, i was wondering if you’ve heard anything over another Chun – Chun Myeong Hoon (NRG). He went M.I.A. and haven’t read or seen anything about him in a long time. T_T

  28. YAY! Welcome back! I loved him in What’s Up Fox.

  29. He is a good actor…. wow! 1st Chun then Gong Yoo :) weeee!!!
    must wait for another year for Eric & Jae Hee :(

  30. I love this guy! I watched What’s Up Fox? just for his acting…I think I need to check out Goodbye Solo then.

  31. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

    Cheon Jeong-myeong’s army discharge!!! XD

    Loooooooooooved him in “What’s Up Fox?”, and slightly in “Fashion 70’s” (esp. the scene when he covered himself in mud and changed clothes in the rain…omoomoomo…Xb; though didn’t like his hairstyle there…)

    Hope he comes back in the acting industry soon…

  32. @26 – Jae

    You are so right about Gong Yoo showing the youngsters how to kiss!!!

    Can’t wait for his comeback.

  33. MY BIN SHIIIII! Can’t wait

  34. oh, how time flies!!!

  35. yesss! finally he’ll be back!

  36. Looks as if there were a lot of people besides me :)
    who enjoyed watching “What’s Up Fox?” This guy was
    perfect for that role, and made the series fun to watch.

    Now with his military service finished, he should be able to expand
    the types of roles that his military training now qualifies him to do.

  37. i fell in love with this guy in what’s up fox. and now, watching him in goodbye solo, i think he does an amazing job to disappear into character. i’m glad there are ppl who have the same feeling as me! such cuteness! such hotness! such body! such smile! i hope he quickly gets a new drama penned by a great writer!

    @31 Rovi
    uuuuu, i haven’t had any interest to watch fashion 70s so far, at least not until i finish goodbye solo, but i’m highly interested to see “the scene when he covered himself in mud and changed clothes in the rain…omoomoomo…Xb;” do you remember in which episode that is? very keen to try find it. hmmm….
