More from Yoo Ah-in’s Esquire shoot

by javabeans

If yesterday’s Yoo Ah-in post taught us anything, it’s that we cannot be trusted to formulate coherent thoughts or carry on lucid discussion when in the presence of adorable new Yoo Ah-in photo shoots. Which I suspect bothers nobody, myself included.

On the other hand, can we all handle TWO such instances, back-to-back like this? I dunno, he’s mighty cute…

These newly released images are from Yoo Ah-in’s recent trip to Thailand, and show a more playful side to his personality than we saw in his intense, tough-guy persona in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. THAT guy was the one who made your heart do little flippity-flips in your chest as he gruffly tried to keep his feelings hidden under a stern shell, while THIS guy is the one you’d just squeal to have call you “noona.”

These photos will be published in his December Esquire spread. I never buy fashion mags just because an actor is in it, but for once I’m mighty tempted…

(It just occurred to me that he looks like he’s standing amongst a bunch of green onions — you know, those long green stalks of 파 — which would make him ever so wee, and therefore portable, like you could tuck him in your pocket and carry him around with you…)

Via Joy News, how appropriate

he looks a bit different in this one. if I'd seen this elsewhere and not described as YAI, I would not be able to tell right away. but he looks more like his age in this one that in other photos of his. thanks for sharing! :)

i humbly accept your kind and utterly heartwarming words, dearest samgetang.. :)

however, i credit everything and anything good and beneficial that i say or do to God the Almighty, for i am nothing and can do nothing without God's Favour, Love, Guidance and Assistance... :)

and as i am only human, i need to constantly evaluate myself, correct my errors and strive to improve myself till i draw my last breath...

i truly agree and try to follow the following profound saying by the American poet, essayist and lecturer, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) :

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

isn't his saying so profound and true? :)

and i absolutely agree with you about YAI -
if he is given the privilege of reading a translation of our posts, he would definitely be able to see for himself how enriching an experience exchanging thought/ideas/feelings is over here in Dramabeans between the moony-loony-noonas,
for us, as well as, for whoever else who would like to join us... :)

we are not just sprouting nonsensical stuff but are actually learning from one another, appreciating our strengths, talents and uniqueness and having a wonderful time getting to know other people from all corners of the globe! :)

take a bow yourself, samgetang :)
for there is a saying :

"it takes one to know one"

if you see there is good in me, it is because there is so much good in your good self... :)

thanks so much! :)

very well said, my dearest soul sistah, kdl!!! all excellent and inspiring words! thank you!

i cannot agree more. i can only nod and say bless your soul more richly than what you've shared so generously!

it is more than a privilege to know you and have met you and all the other amazing ppl here. SKKS is more memorable to me because of your and everyone's warmth and friendship :-)

we started here admiring SKKS then the actors, the writers and all, but we did not realize that in doing so we will also come to appreciate each other more and more!

may God continue to be lifted up in our midst ;-) in all the fun and camaraderie, as he makes our hearts his home. and here's hoping that we can pursue these friendships beyond dramabeans :-)

fellowship of the Moon in the secret garden... meet and greet in ________ (where would it be, i wonder?)

samgetang dear, from the beautiful land of the Philippines, i am amazed each time i read your thoughts/ideas/feelings in your posts for the following reasons :

i. how beautifully you write them down; :)

ii. how similar our thoughts/ideas/feelings are; :)

iii. how grateful i feel having found a soul sistah so far from where i was born and bred (tiny island state of Singapore); :)

i echo each and every point in your comment! :)

fellowship of the Moon in the Secret Garden...
meet and greet in ?????????????
(i wonder too)

let's hope the other mooony-loony-noonas can pitch in with their fantastic ideas? :)

hehe, samgetang... ;)

i was also rendered speechless by your lavish praise in your posts, so i completely understand the feeling... :)

what i think i can say to reflect the abundance and overflowing of heartwarming thoughts and feelings we experience together here are God's way of showing His Love, Blessings, Favour, Greatness to all of us... ;)

we are truly blessed... :)

i look forward to the time when we can meet in person :)

see u in secret garden! :)

btw, the comment count has really blown me away -
612 comments! over 90% of it are the exchanges between u, izzie, pastmidnite, sumee and i. :)

thank you so much Javabeans for not banning us from this blog because of the 612 comments. :)

i know, kdl! :-) is this thing allowed here in dramabeans?

i'm glad that there is no quota to the number of comments one can submit...or else we would've been in jail for our yakkity-yakity-yak ;-) if not totally banned from ever going to this site...and without even a peek through YAI's 2 photos to make our day complete, oooohhhh! ;-)

hahaha!

love u to bits, kdl...soul sistah!

yeah....i was wondering the same thing... hehe ;)

Javabeans and co. might have been shaking their heads in exasperation if they had been reading our wacky, crazy posts...hehe ;)

and if they had been, im amazed they did not raise the alarm and send the internet cops after us... hehe ;)

our yakkity-yak is beyond help...hehe ;)

love u to bits, samgetang, my soul sistah!! :)

"kdl! you leave everyone speechless and incoherent with your abounding appreciation"

EXACTLY!! :)

"i know that all of these is an overflow of your humble and amazing heart which we are all so happy and privileged to be acquainted with."

DITTO!! :)

sorry for the copy-pasting, samgetang :) it's a result of my speechlessness... :) but that's precisely how i feel!

pastmidnite, dear! ;)

"fellowship of the Moon in the secret garden… meet and greet in ________ (where would it be, i wonder?)"

wow! this gives my ideas.... somewhere in the phillipines? singapore? indonesia? india or SK (not quite sure where sumee resides)? izzie's rock (somewhere in the US?)??
i can only dream of it right now, but who knows it'll happen someday... right?

Yooo…(ah in) hooo!! i’m baack… still got mounds of soil to dig, but hey, what else can a girl do if she misses her wacky-moony-loony-but-lovely fellows here in moonland, huh?? This has somehow became my safe haven from the brutal outside world LOL

This thread and the ppl who plays a part in this near-crime of invading someone’s blog (sorry for not mentioning your respective names since there are soo many of you hahaha) never ceases to amaze me!
I’ve been having connection problems since yesterday that every time I refresh this page there seemed to be no new comments but apparently there are dozens! And where are those profound and graceful words when you need one? I was and am greatly overwhelmed by these fancy and elaborate phrasing that now I am lost of words… mind full of thoughts that I cannot share, partly because of the language barrier, not to mention my own incapacity to express myself even in my own mother-tongue.

All I can say for this moment is… thank you, kdl, samgetang, izzie, sumee.. I’m very blessed to “meet” all four of you… And I am deeply sorry for not responding sooner to your – what’s the word here – yakkity-yak?? Hehe… this is a REALLY long thread, with over 100, or 200, hell maybe even 400 comments were exchanges between the four of you.. well, 410 if you count me in :)

This have been helluva ride, and I’m absolutely enjoying it… let the yakkity-yakkity-yack continue!! :)

luv u all!!

hehe...yooo (ah in) hooo to u there too, pastmidnite! ;)

so wonderful to hear from you! ;)

thanks so much for your effort in responding to the overflowing posts here even though you have to balance being a full-time mother to an active (i'm sure) 2-year-old son, wife, daughter-in-law and a translator as well...wow... ;)

thank you so so much, pastmidnite, for all your kind, kind words and thoughts to samgetang, izzie, sumee and i... ;)

we echo all your kind thoughts and feelings as well...;)
i feel truly blessed to have been given the honour and privilege of knowing u here, along with the other lovely moony-loony-noonas... ;)

let's continue to light each other's lives with our lively, highly entertaining banter/yakkity-yak
and fascinating sharing of thoughts and feelings
and continue to learn from each other as well... :)

luv u, pastmidnite! ;)

so glad to find you here again at the moony-loony noona headquarters (haha! we've staked claim on this webpage already...our apologies, javabeans! what can we do? this 2 YAI photos are like magnets that always draw us in!)

you can copy and paste all you want, pastmidnite ;-) you are very much welcome! it's a privilege to be accorded with such an honor from someone like you... a loving wife and devoted mom to a son, an aspiring mother to another baby (hopefully girl?), dedicated translator and brilliant mathematician :-) and most of all a wacky honorary member of this esteemed circle of moony-loonies :-)

i smell more fun along the way
'cos pastmidnite is here to stay :-)

love love love to see u here!!!

and dream to see u, and everyone, in person someday, yes i do ;-)
