Rawr! The two main men of the romantic-comedy film Cyrano; Dating Agency — that would be Daniel Choi and Uhm Tae-woong — pose together for this black-and-white spread in Vogue.
It’s not too far off from the recent Elle shoot starring the movie’s cast, which took a ’40s noir vibe as its concept, but this one focuses on the men. And that’s something I’m very okay with. Eyeshadow notwithstanding.
This shoot sets up Uhm as the rebel and Choi as the gentleman. I have no idea how that translates to the “James Dean vs. Jude Law” concept put forth by the magazine, but whatever. (Actually, it’s explained that those two represent the archetypal Hollywood rebel and gentleman, respectively, to which I half-agree and half-snort-while-rolling-my-eyes.)
It sounds like the cast got pretty friendly while shooting the movie. Uhm said of his Cyrano co-star, “I like Daniel Choi’s face. Sometimes it can look ugly, but it’s cute and handsome.” Choi said, “Uhm Tae-woong has a mischievous outer appearance sort of like Matthew McConaughey, but on the inside he’s a very thoughtful person.”
Cyrano; Dating Agency opens on September 16. It tells the story of a timid man (Choi) who can’t confess his love for his crush (Lee Min-jung) and enlists the aid of a dating agency run by Uhm. Complications ensue.

Hot with a capital H.
agree!
sigh . . . pretty!
UTW’s eyebrows were made for this shoot. jus’ sayin’ . . .
completely agree with jm126 it is hot…like the dark theme as it gives off a mysterious feel
Couldn’t think what I’d seen Daniel Choi in before, but it was The World That They Live In, where he had a crazy hair situation. Glad to see the mane has been tamed. Kind of.
Or I would be, if I could see past the blinding hotness of Uhm Tae-woong. Lord have mercy.
omg he was that dude in Worlds Within? that annoying one? Oh mannn totally didn’t notice that!
he was the friend of hyun bin??omg…..i remember his hair too…
hmmm it almost sounds like UTW has a man crush on Daniel Choi…which leads me to say this: hold on a sec there buddy dont u know u are MINE and MINE alone, so keep those wandering gorgeous bisexual eyes of ur firmly locked in them sockets if u know whats good for u!
Oh snap!!
I just want to say I absolutely hate cigarettes in photoshoots. It irks me everytime I see those beautiful/handsome people with cancersticks in their mouths. Do they really think it looks so cool? And then teachers like me have to yell at teenage kids smoking in the streets around the school and to explain them all the adddictions stuff again and again only to know they won’t listen anyway.
OK. I can get over a picture of Joo JiHoon with a cigarette
But really, all the rest irritate me to no end.
huh. i was so obsessed with UTW in these pics i didn’t even notice the ciggies in the first one. normally that really bothers me as well.
So true! I was thinking the same thing. In my opinion, you don’t need a ciggy in the corner of your mouth to look uber badboy. But otherwise great pics
i smoke so naturally it doesn’t bother me…cancerstick? let me at it…
thanks JB for the lovely photos.
I hate the smokes, but they work it. I think the picture with the cigs is the hottest one. Maybe we can imagine a lollipop in its place?
man, now i really want to see this movie!
R.A.W.R.
Now, this is how you do guyshadow. Lord have mercy, indeed. *Help, I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up.*
Ok, I accept that James Dean is the archetypal Hollywood rebel. But Jude Law as the archetypal gentleman? Really Korea? He and his cheating with his child’s babysitter ways? Just letting that slide, yes, Choi’s fashion in the photospread is very “Jude Law”-esque.
I still can’t believe that Daniel Choi was the Crazy Yang character in Worlds Within who was in love with Song Hye Gyo’s character. Guess this proves how good an actor he is. Or maybe the curls did it for me to not recognize him again. He’s looking fine in my eyes day by day.
Really?!?!?! He looks super different here! Wow.
Oh, Uhm Tae Woong… how you make me smile (and swoon and drool and stare and do other embarrassing things when I see you).
DC’s left hand looks weird in the first shoot but LOVE the photo spread!
I swear, if this is what’s out there I need to move to Korea as soon as possible.
I’m thinking, as soon as I get my diploma… I can go on the run from my student loans and hide.
What better place to hide than in the midst of sexy men in Korea?
lol
Jenju, I’m running from my student loans too! LOL! They can’t take my money if I’m not in the country, right?
Uhm Tae Woong is THE HOTNESS!!
wow this choi guy is hot….MUST CHECKOUT HIS WORK!
Hee! I’ve noticed that Korean male actors don’t find it icky when they tell their admiration for one another. I mean, if Johnny Depp were to tell Brad Pitt that he finds the latter “cute”, most Americans would squirm and be sent to fits of hysteria. I don’t think that’s the case in Korea. I’ve watched a lot of Korean boybands being interviewed on tvN wherein the members would playfully jest and tease one another; calling each other “good-looking”, “pretty”, “handsome”, etc. Not that it’s man-crush or anything, but more of an honest; goofy-kind-of respect.
Love love love Uhm Tae Woong!!! It’s great that he is now venturing into lighter, comedic roles. His recent work in Queen Seon Deok showed his excellent acting skills in drama. But there were also some nice, rare moments in QSD where we were able to see his quirky, mischievous side. And those Elle spreads? Ah, absolutely swoon-worthy!
they so cool ^^
Drooling on the two hot men…
But why did they have to show any cigarette at 2nd pic? *sigh*
HOT. You have no idea how badly I want to see this movie.
As another commenter said, I hate the cigarette. Also in agreement with somebody else – Jude Law = gentleman? Uhm not really… cheater.
Whew, I don’t mind if they end up together in the movie. Uber hot.
Lol
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DANIEL CHOI.
Jude Law hasn’t been a gentleman for near a decade.
In the first pic UTW looks a bit like a hot Pierrot the clown.
I never thought he was good-looking in Delightful Girl. They’re both hot like fire here, though.
Anyway, I love this play so much so seeing it adapted is very yay!
*drool*
Yum. I REALLY need to move to Korea!
UHM TAE WOONG!!!!! ^__________^
I adore him since I had seen him in that drama “The Devil” but it was so amazing, of course!
I will be looking forward for this new movie when I have time! (claps & grins)
The Devil and Resurrection are my favorites. I didn’t like Kim Yushin’s version in QSD probably because I read too much into history.
THOSE SHORTER-THAN-THEY-OUGHT-TO-BE PANTS HAVE GOT TO GO!! off with your pants, daniel choi!!
…oh wait.
..yeah, okay.
Daaaang, that second shot is already a road movie in itself. (Also, I’d watch the hell out of that.)
Wooooooo, Uhm Tae-woong, I never stopped admiring this actor. Glad to see he’s going to be in a new drama. Boy on the left is cuuute though.
GAWD!!!!! they look so HOOOT :d
i love uhm tae woong!ur so good.im one og your million fans.good luck to ur carrer and more power.
