BoA and Jung Woo-sung on a date (for Athena)
by | September 21, 2010 | 34 Comments

Well, Mr. Jung Woo-sung, you sure are getting around, aren’t you? First you were romancing Su Ae in Italy, and then we saw stills of you cozying up to Lee Jia, and then there was that bed scene with Su Ae. Now a date with pan-Asian pop superstar BoA?

These stills show Jung’s character Jung-woo walking the streets in a so-called date with BoA, who plays a top singer (essentially herself) who is in Japan for a concert, while Jung-woo is her guard. The two are in Tottori, where a local love legend about a white rabbit forms an important aspect of the story (you mean just like in IRIS?).

BoA headed to Japan for her scenes immediately after finishing a concert in Shanghai. She plans to return to Korea after four days in Japan, and will also participate in Athena’s shoots at home.

    wow, didn’t know BoA was in this too. jung woo-sung’s cool factor just shot up even more, if that was even possible. still not sure i like his hairstyle in these pics, but he’s still sexy.

  2. luraaa

    What is BoA doing, holding hands with JWS? Where’s Su Ae?

    I’m not a huge BoA fan myself, and until I can see that she’s a nice girl (or she plays a lovable character), I’ll be envious of her for the rest of my life. lol. Fangirl, much?

      Jung Woo is just a body gaurd of her.

  3. A

    Go Jung Woo Sung!

  4. Cam

    Oh wooaaah, Is BoA just involved in this drama, eh?

    Wow, it’s very interesting & I didn’t realized that BoA suddenly approached in this drama — I am not fan of her but I will support her, of course.

    FIGHTING, Athena cast members!!! =)

  5. Ugh

    Well I guess that means that I am next in line. :)

    They need to slow down with some of this promotion stuff. The more I hear about it, despite the eye candy, the more I have to fight myself from rolling my eyes. I guess this is what they mean about overkill, because whatever interest I had in this drama is waning… and FAST.

    • 6.1 Jenju

      I would have to agree with this. I mean when I first heard about it my reaction was “eh.”

      Then I saw all the eye candy. My reaction was “Ooo, okay, I’ll give it a try.”

      Now with all this overkill promotion it’s just “Oh. Again. Okay… Are there any Mary Stayed Out All Night news?”

    • 6.2 Carinne

      I can see Athena producers are trying really hard to get word out so they can get more bids for overseas licensing.

      “Eh, again.”

    Whoa, look how tall and delicious he is. Mmm.

    Girl? What girl? I see no girl.

    • 7.1 Keylye

      This made me laugh. In the end, that’s all that really matters with all these promotional pics coming out – more Jung Woo Sung to drool over. ^_^

  8. jo

    BoA was only supposed to be cameo but I guess they decided otherwise. Either way! I’m soooooo looking forward to see my girl w/ JWS!!! <3

  9. fjoajoaa

    they actually shot a scene from the smtown concert in seoul,,.,. where they were escorting her?

    Huh. Athena: Goddess of War. Hurricane Venus: Goddess of Womanizer Womanizer Womanizer?

    I remember the Athena trailer showed Boa and other SM artists behind her during their recent SM Town Concert (plus the fact that Siwon is in it) so I’m not surprised she’s making a guest appearance in the drama=)

    here’s the clip:

    oh Jung Woo Sung, I think he’s really sexy with BoA…
    feel weird, he’s really good with BoA than Su Ae *kicked*
    I love Su Ae too…don’t worry…
    I want this drama staff give more promotional photos for the other leads not only JWS, I love him… but…

  15. 15 namja

    Pity for him that his Mercedes Banz stuck from the floods…..inside condo parking lot….but in that time he’s very buzy for “Athena”….otokajo… :(

    Well it seems like Jung Woo-sung’s character is a real James Bond ^^;;;

    Has anyone heard news about Cha Seung Won’s health? He was pulled out of the Japan shooting due to his health (food poisoning) and his role was diminished as a result since he originally had a large part in that arc. Anyone know if he’s recovered?

    I don’t like BoA for some reason
    First,well you should just stick to music.
    Second,another technique from SM to let her cast her spells onto dramas too.
    Thirdly,I dont see why you are so greedy enough to get everything
    Lastly,glad it is just a stick on and pull out act.
    It is not that I hate her,but well many idols nowadays like to sing and act at the same time.Great eye candy for fans but for normal viewers like me,we need new candy not some candy that is over and over again!
    BoA just act like she is all-time big star,it is sad to see her comeback is termed as the most disappointed comeback of 2010 which buried most other underrated artises under the carpet again.
    Queen of kpop or not,she just wouldn’t worked out well for her comeback this time.It seems rushing,unanticipated and well not-so-well performances.And sometimes I wondered,the awards given to her is not based on her performance.She might came up for a decade,but her music is not outstanding.The awards given to her is more like because she is the senior of the “idol” industry.
    If you would to stick her song to ear only,it doesn’t sound really good.You have to follow along with an MV,which make music overall looks dumb.

    • 17.1 Whatever

      Wow u are truely mean, u needa learn more about her than bitching things about her, Shes not the main char so dont worry, it just add a lil bit drama, Of course she sticks to singing…u shuld be thanking BoA to make this Korean Drama have more Drama. Dont give ur opinions out that that, ur hurting ppl’s feeling and if u say that infront of her im sure there will be a fan riot after to kill you. Also, no one give a damn if u like her or not, u dont have to announce it. Every1 has their own opinion and hates. Jung Woo is only playing as her body gaurd.

    Athena and Runaway seem to be vying for eyeballs and attention. Too much of blitz already, it is becoming an overkill.

    Every other day we see stills, news of someone being cast as a cameo, poster releases being unleashed

  22. 22 fraulein

    Daemul too

    i’ve only just discovered dramabeans, courtesy of princess hours (goong) which is currently being re-run in an indonesian tv station. *late much?!*
    i’ve been lurking around here for a week or so. i must say this is such a great site, and i love reading everyone’s comments here, especially on woo-sung oppa, now that’s hot! *drools*

    keep up the good work everyone!

  24. 24 Snikki

    I had no plans of watching this. But after watching Park Hyo Shin’s music video with JWS and Su Ae… maaan, I’m sold! They look so good together. :)

  25. 25 Wike

    @lenita actually Goong have been being re-run for 3 times. And this time there are 2 stations which broadcast it again (local & national station). Goong’s 1st broadcast was on 2007, if i’m not mistaken.. :D
