Jang Geun-seok in Mary Stayed Out All Night
by | October 11, 2010 | 193 Comments

WHY IS HE SO PRETTY.

I know that refrain is going to get old, real fast, so I promise to try to cut it out from here on out. But seriously, Jang Geun-seok looks even more like a beautiful woman now, playing a hippie-boho musician in Mary Stayed Out All Night, than he did playing a purposely prettied-up idol star in You’re Beautiful.

The stills posted here come from the drama’s recent title and poster shoots, and feature his Mu-gyul character with his guitar, a key accessory given his status as the lead singer in an indie band. According to his stylist, they made a conscious effort to portray his free-spirited character in his loose and casual grunge-inspired clothing and wavy hair.

According to a rep from Jang’s management company, he is currently busy working with the script and music of the drama (I presume he performs in some scenes). The series premieres next month.

  2. lunargen

    I am so confused right now. He looks prettier than most girls it’s insane.

    • 2.1 obivia

      I’ve always thought his deep (shmexy) voice totally made up for his insane prettiness.

      • 2.1.1 Koreandramasrock

        AGREE!!

        • 2.1.1.1 mm

          yup!

      • 2.1.2 missmanderley

        yeah! the exactly moment he says something on screen dispels any uber prettiness! haha!

      • 2.1.3 lunargen

        Agreed. But these stills don’t come with his voice, so his androgyny just rankles me. 8D

      • 2.1.4 maria

        totally! it’s like God’s way of confuzzling my heart. hehehehehehhe!

      • 2.1.5 Rina

        I can’t wait to hear his voice again :)

        I wish I had his stylist, because I would love to have his hairstyle.

      • 2.1.6 shin mi rae

        agree with you… love his voice… i can live without coffee in the morning but not with out my morning fix of you’re beautiful ost on my way to the office….. i need my JGS in the morning to wake me, lift me and put a smile on my face…

        omg but he really is pretty… pretty… pretty….

        • 2.1.6.1 Lenita

          wow i have to download that ost then (have not watched it). thanks for the recommendation, could really use nice sounds nice in the mornings definitely :D

      • 2.1.7 LeyS

        LOL YOU’RE RIGHT. :) )

      • 2.1.8 danni

        Yep, gets rid of that girly image right away for me.

    • 2.2 brasandbraces

      Kim Hye Sun is prettier than JGS.

      (As if they are really girls…)

      • 2.2.1 blandi

        pretty but ssomething is not right with the nose down the lips… disturbing me

      • 2.2.2 aixumi

        totally not agree .. JGS for me . .really cute..

  3. peanut butter

    whether or not that phrase gets old or not, he IS exceedingly pretty. in fact, dude is androgynous =D

  4. gala

    the one word the sprung to mind the moment i saw these pics: bishounen [beautiful boy] – and it works since he’s portraying a manhwa/manga character. [is there an equivalent term in korean?]

    i’m trying to restrain too much bursts of excitement cause the expectations might rise, then i’ll be disappointed if the drama won’t meet those expectations. but for sure, i’m sooooo glad with this casting. i just cant wait. i love the girl. i love the male lead. and i adore the second male lead. i’ll be so torn!

    • 4.1 mellowyel

      a close equivalent is “Kkotminam” (flower boy)

  5. girlatsea

    He may look like a woman in this drama but I have soo much faith in him and MGY. They are the best actors of their age. Ahhh, this drama is going to be so good.

    • 5.1 girlatsea

      Oh and, if this holds any truth, I heard the character cuts his hair later in the magna/manhwa so, if the drama follows along, we have that too look forward too!

      • 5.1.1 tiq

        so we’ll see him with short hair??aw….^^
        i miss his look in baby n me….totally handsome in there! haghag

      • 5.1.2 Kosuzu

        he does cut his hair. i can’t read korean but i looked through the whole manga already and he cuts it a little shoter than taekyung’s hair length ^^ i can’t wait lol

  6. Fasiris Fay

    I might be digging the chaebol instead of the hippie, according to these stills.

    I LOVE JGS but he looks too much like a girl for my taste. I like my boys to look like men :D Hopefully Mr. Chaebol (forgot his name!) lives up to the title ;)

    • 6.1 MARZ

      The actor who plays The Chaebol is Kim Jae Wook, and he is just as pretty (if not prettier) than JGS and MGY.

      Here’s the proof
      http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kim_Jae_Wook

      It’s really unfair! How can a guy be THAT pretty?!
      Makes girls like me jealous.

      Dude is a good actor, though. Really surprised me in Bad Guy. At 1st, I thought he was going to be a Vase, but he proved me wrong.

  7. stars4u

    how could he be so… so pretty?

    JGS is really one who could pass as a girl!

  8. Lacey

    Im actually disgusted how pretty he looks ROFL if that makes sense..

  9. whatis

    okay… that 2nd picture is just not right. He looks so cutie and pretty. Look at his EYES!! Life’s not fair!!!

  10. 10 Sere

    khdkashdiweugiasdhiasd That’s all. Gah, why am I SO excited about this drama?

  11. 11 Nars

    I love how his “free-spirited” look is so calculated.

    • 11.1 fionnula

      Curled to perfection. Lol.

  12. 12 dannaluk

    purty purty purrrrrrrrrrtyyyy!

    • 12.1 dannaluk

      once the stills for all four leads are out we should place thm side by side and play the “who’s prettier?” game

      • 12.1.1 Eragonia

        LOL..Agree!i bet JGS win,with KJW in second place..who agree with me?

  13. 13 Caff

    Am I the only one who sees the resemblance between Jang Geun Seok and Cho Sun, the gisaeng from Sungkyunkwan Scandal? :P

    • 13.1 Severine

      Haha, yes a bit, but I think JGS is prettier. :D

    • 13.2 mamajoni

      did you know that Chosun, the gisaeng from SKKS also played KJW’s girlfriend who committed suicide in Bad Guy?

  14. 14 LeMonS

    yes…bishie hippie

  15. 15 JiHwan

    Am I the only one bothered that he looks so feminine? I mean, I love JGS, and like the other readers I have faith in this drama, but I do miss JGS’s cute boy looks. I’m not digging the long hair or the attire, but I suppose it works for his character in the drama.

    • 15.1 jea

      no, i’m also not digging the hair and clothes… let’s hope the acting and plot will be provide enough draw to divert my attention away

      In these pics he is just too feminine for my taste…

      • 15.1.1 Kdramaddict

        I second that… way too feminine for me too :s

  16. 16 Ani

    One of the unsolved mysteries of the Universe: Why some men *points finger at kdrama pretty bishonen* are more beautiful than some women….. <3

    • 16.1 Ani

      I just realized I just said “pretty pretty boys”. XD My sensei will forever be ashamed of me. Sorry for the double post.

  17. 17 Jae In

    I love that cloth. I want to watch this drama but at at the same time did not want sungkyunkwan scandal to finish. Yeah Mary Stay Out All Night rules.

    • 17.1 aixumi

      totally feel the same . .so love SKKS . .feel like even it has 100 episodes going to watch them all ..weew!

  18. 18 ziren

    sooooo prettty…..hope to get his beauty secret….:-)

  19. 19 pv

    agreed. he’s way pretty.

  20. 20 cathy

    He looks pretty but not gay , how amazing it is .

  21. 21 Steph

    Hmmm … he’s a little to pretty for me. Should I say he’s not the right pretty? I prefer Kim Jae Wooks sorta pretty!

    • 21.1 imaddictedtoyou

      im with u. heheeh. my kind of pretty for a guy is when they look manly in the same time. hehehe. JGS is just too cute for my taste. hahhaha!

      im excited for this drama. cant wait!!!!!

  22. 22 Natty

    Love him! Oh so pretty….. I literally cannot wait for this drama to air. Hope it lives up to my super high expectations!
    Then again, I’m not worried about that at all :)

  23. 23 Hello cutie!

    Ok, so he is really pretty…and yet, so manly, no? I don’t think I would ever take him for a girl…I mean, he is all sexy man to me!!! I like his feminine side, but with his deep sexy voice…definitely NOT a woman!!! He is just too cool…he can be pretty and manly all at once…he’s just got it all!

  24. 24 Gilly

    Oh my goodness. Is there something in the water in Korea? Koreans seem to have such beautiful skin! Really looking forward to this drama.

  25. 25 Noypi

    Even though he looks stunningly pretty outside, his voice takes it all back to the manly side.. =)

    Can’t wait our TaeKyung on tv again.. *sigh* misses YAB..

  26. 26 :D

    i was hoping the hair style wouldn’t be this one…

  27. 27 djinni

    he may look like a crossdresser… but i still love him.

  28. 28 Purpleclouds

    I think in general, long hair, pink clothes, frilly styles can work on a guy if he has chiseled face features, very masculine aura, buff body & a slim waist. If not, it will confuse my eyes, and mess up the yin/yang wheel. I prefer him with combed-back coolish bad attitude aggressive hair.

    • 28.1 ilukd

      hahaha … these boys really mess up the yin/yang wheel

  29. 29 Angel

    He looks so pretty… It’s illegal!

  30. 30 linda belle

    mr.ohemgee..
    I don’t care if he’s pretty or not..as long I can hear his voice & see the acting, all doesn’t matter anymore!!

  31. 31 dee

    pretty or not, i’m diggin’ him xD

  32. 32 ilukd

    i really envy some of these korean pretty boys … GOSH…. look at their face , hair, skin, hand, finger … they are 1000 times beautiful than average girls including me …. how can GOD be so cruel …. One of them is Jang Geun-seok … i don’t mind cause i love him so much ….

  33. 33 miniejungle

    i give up on talking about his feminine look. LOL!

  34. 34 Nhu

    I THINK it’d be okay if only he had shorter hair. Or at least hair that wasn’t all wavy and in his face. Because then it looks like it’s in a pony tail and I’m like…. @_@ Is that his SISTER?

  35. 35 Lucille

    I know I am the last person to watch Itaewon Homicide, but I just finished watching it and he was so chilling in that movie to me. That why I really like him. From Baby and ME to HGD to BV to IH and now to this, he always brings something different to the table. I don’t see myself getting bored with him anytime soon. The fact that he looks like a manga characters helps too. I just want to tell him to Stop being so Cute!

    • 35.1 Rintjethesweet

      agree..he never makes me bored! So i don’t care if he is just too pretty than me :p ( I mean most of girls ..) as long as i can see him playing again..miss his acting much!

  36. 36 jandoe

    everything about him seems ten kinds of wrongs to me, but. he’s JGS. he can pull off just about anything and i’d be there anyway, watching! haha. sooo looking forward to this drama, keep the news coming JB thanks :D

  37. 37 LL

    I love this so much.

  38. 38 sshahi

    i want a curl like his…
    totally love him

  39. 39 mai

    man….i love everything about him ..from top to bottom ahahhahahahahhahaha his sexy voice too :-)

  40. 40 mintyboy

    i wish he cut his hair. he and some of the kpop boys ::cough yoochun:: all need to cut their hair. it’s not sexy nor manly. leave the wave/perm to the girls.

  41. 41 last_thread

    whenever i see really pretty guys, i’m conflicted. my first reaction is “wowww so pretty o__o” which is swiftly followed by “why can’t i look like that? ;__;”

  42. 42 Bonnie

    Hmm, like most other instances with him, I’m not liking the clothes. “Grunge” and “hippie/bohemian” are two different styles, people. Ditch the flannel!

  43. 43 Laica

    So pretty, I agree… I prefer him with black hair though. Not loving the dyed brown on him.

  44. 44 Butet

    Why can’t we have the JGS from Beethoven Virus? He looked dashing, sexy, and more importantly MANLY there. UGH. His prettiness just reminds me that life is totally not fair!

    • 44.1 Butet

      At least you can say that nature/god/gods/whatever isn’t biased on the pretty.. See it’s not solely for women anymore!

  45. 45 Sumaiya

    lol looks like the girls in this show will have face tough competition from the two pretty boys….cute though!

  46. 46 belleza

    Of course Jang Geun Suk is pretty. Did you know who was his music idol? HYDE!!! Dude, if JGS time dripped back to Luraku circa 1997, this would be the greatest drama in the history of 2010.

    A drama with 2 bishis demands a little fan service. ;)

    • 46.1 Rina

      OMG…while watching You’re Beautiful – he reminded me of someone, but I couldn’t figure out who.
      Now that you mention it, he does remind me of Hyde!
      (Now I have Shallow Sleep stuck in my head)

      • 46.1.1 belleza

        Oh indeed. Whenever JGS sings, he prefers to croon instead of belting in the R&B style. That’s because he grew up singing L’Arc en Ciel songs.

    • 46.2 vietnamfan

      Omo, you’re right. Thanks for letting us know his music idol. Hype. I’m listening to “The cape of storm” by this genious Japanese singer. Jang Geun Suk’s natural voice is just like Hype. They both sings attractively. I’m even get more insane about Jang Geun Suk. Can’t get out of this fanlove for him.

  47. 47 show2007

    I notice that not many of you love his latest girlly hair style, however, I think he looks great and come on, how many guys and leave the perm plus long hair like hime and still looks pretty and shine. Well at least it fit the character perfectly? Don’t you agree?

    • 47.1 belleza

      It’s shoujo after all. We never really grow out of our bishis. ;)

    • 47.2 Anonymous

      I just showed my non k-drama watching mother his picture and asked her a vague,” what does she see in this picture?”. And sure enough her reply was,”a girl with a guitar” LOL

    • 47.3 chez

      totally agree!!! only sukkie can look so pretty yet still arouses ur female hormones.hahaha!

  48. 48 tess

    omg. can he be any prettier?! those eyes!! that voice! *swoons*

  49. 49 strawhatz

    with so many pretty boys out there, i wonder why there’s no drama with guys crossdress as girls…that would be interesting lol

    • 49.1 Anonymous

      Didn’t JGS perform in drag a few years ago at some award show?

      It would be interesting if they did a K-drama version of ParaKiss – it would be interesting to see who would play the role of Isabella?

  50. 50 alyssia

    I love the styles here but not the hair. It would be great if he had the “you’re beautiful” and this style. Would look a little more manly. lolz

    • 50.1 LeyS

      He’s supposed to be ~bohemian~ and carefree, so no YB hair for him.
