Apparently this latest tough-guy shoot for Chun Jung-myung is a “180 degree transformation” for him… although we saw him being all tough and macho in this Vogue spread not terribly long ago, which was itself supposed to be another 180 degree turn from his previous smiley, pleasant image. So 180 degrees + 180 degrees = change? And here I thought 360 got ya back to the beginning. Even if I do suck at math.
Maybe all this whirling around in circles is ’cause he’s still confused from his nonentity of a character in Cinderella’s Sister. JUST SAYIN’. (You know I love me some Chun Jung-myung, but I think I’m going to be bitter about that one for a while longer. Just… so much wasted talent. GRAR.)
Oh right, the point. (I’m dead tired and I just saw hot pics of Chun Jung-myung. You’ll have to excuse my incoherence.) This “new” tough image comes from a new CF, which will be launched shortly on cable and broadcast television. The ad is for the CJ ONE card, produced by CJ Media.
In it, Chun pauses along an empty road with the dusky sky at his back and says, “What I’m racing toward is freedom” and “Because an actor must be free.”
Somewhere, a cheese-stuffed cheeseball covered in a dusty layer of crushed cheesy poofs just exploded from the cheese overload.

Oh, JB. You need some sleep. But that was pretty priceless. ㅋㅋㅋ
WHAT IS THIS SLEEP YOU SPEAK OF AND WHERE CAN I GET SOME?
Sleep is in Jang Geun Seok’s bus waiting for you.
Why does that sound like an ominous trap?
Only if you’re afraid of what JGS fangirls may do to you after you take a nap on his bus.
Otherwise, I just thought his bus is nice and cozy, and he’ll sing you to sleep with a lullaby, with lyrics about kittens, caramel corn, penguins, and ferris wheels.
Good luck getting some shut-eye! (I’m serious here for once – sleep is a precious commodity in our lives)
JB, you may not get any sleep on that bus… but it’s sleep vs witnessing JGS doing his hair or peek into his diva wardrobe on that bus.
I’ll happily sing ‘what’s new pussycat? whoa~~whoa~~’ while he makes up his cute pussycat face.
PIE! nomnomnomnomnom I still randomly yell out BIN SHII~~~ to flash a vivid memory of that beachy scene.
The only buses I get on have a peppy blond haired pop singer in it. Bus fail?
You should be proud of yourself. Your bus, as opposed to ship metaphor caught on pretty well. But you said it first.
The OTP in question doesn’t have anything to do with buses anymore, hows about we call them the SBC couple, or Rain couple now? Or something.
“The only buses I get on have a peppy blond haired pop singer in it”
. . . and all of them lead to a bowling alley. Baby baby baby ohhhhhhh
Guys, I meant Jeremy! (sobs; runs away)
@ Janna: bwaha, ha, ha, ha love how you misled every body here… don’t be sad I may get on the same bus with you and a peppy blond haired pop singer named Jeremy. We’ll catch up that JGS fans bus and save JB from sleep deprived.
I believe sleep is sold at locations where sanity can be obtained. Which is to say, distribution is limited.
CJM definitely gained more popularity after CS, I’m happy for him he’s got a lots of CF offers nowadays.
But in that drama wherein he got more fans was the worst performance I’ve ever seen from him. Throughout the show I’m like, what happened to CJM? Why did his acting became this way?
Anyhow, I hope he’ll regain his acting chops with his upcoming movie with veteran actor Song Kang Ho.
Definitely agree! Luckily, he still can gain popularity from the drama. And I have high expectation on Blue Salt.
Just diiied at the snark. <3
Oh wait, there was CJM, too!?
I do like CJM and have heard good things about his acting, but haven't really watched much of his work, what little I have seen, he's just been there to fill the eye candy quota. *shrugs*
Yeah, you definitely need some facial hair to cover up all that cuteness.
His long hair and beard in What’s Up Fox also made him look older and manlier. I loved that look on him.
I agree with you. I was like ”wooo what hot man” then after he cut his hair and take off his beard I was like? what the… where did that hot guy go? And who is this baby? Hahahahah xD soooo different…
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that look was hot!
I also enjoy how no reporters seem to remember all the tough guy roles he’s played in the past, like in Fashion 70′s…
The actual look itself? Or the process by which he disengaged from that look in WUF? Or…both? Yeah, I’m guessing it’s both.
PIE, it’s time for you post-MS bare-all scene. No more chickening out, fighting!
@JB
Hope you get some shut-eye soon!
Then send some my way, k? thx.
I like cutie PIE as much as HOT PIE but love semi nakkid PIE the most. Show that post-MS bod CJM. Please?!
yea i was thinking the same….like he has played tough guy roles before so why cant anyone remember them??
“His long hair and beard in What’s Up Fox also made him look older and manlier. ”
Yes, the Beast Man look. He was Chuno before Chuno, much like Moon Geun Young was really Go Hyun Jeon who got thrown into the trunk of a Delorean. Which is why he looked so confused in Cinderella’s Sisters.
I can’t believe Justin Beiber is remaking Back to the Future. My childhood has been violated by a bowling alley!!!
only thing i liked about CS was that it was where i first saw CJM. can’t forget his smiley face when he first met MGY’s character. after that it was just angst..& more angst

bwahahahahahah this is brilliant. it is possible, JB, that you do your best work when you’re sleep-deprived. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t sleep, though.
hEY, Javabeans, I know it is off-topic but will you recap the little mini-episodes of PK? The youtube version I mean, that is why is really cute, they showing their marriage life, and plus you made the recaps from the previous episodes… the YT version have 7 parts each with 10 minutes of duration^^

Btw I don’t know why you all hate the poor Ki-hoon… I liked in a bit poor thing… LOL… CMJ baby face doesn’t fit too much with ‘tough’ look….
errrm is this 360 degree transformation to What’s up Fox?…
except his scruffy face … nothing is changed …. maybe that Ko Byung Hee (Ko Hyun Jung) is now President after she dreamed about ruling Korea for 50 eps in Queen Seon Deok
I agree, He looks a lot like What’s Up fox in the first episode especially, where he is hot and sexy and hair everywhere and half naked…Aw geez I just finished watching that too, now I have to go watch the first episode again.
Drat!!
Yuuumm! Thanks for reminding me.
This entire article, and all the comments, made my day so much nicer.
OMO I forgot the first ep(I saw that drama half a year ago) …that was a huuuuuge beard… but somehow some guys are yummier when they’re hairy
Mmm…I think I need to watch that episode again too.
I love me some scruffy Chun Jung-Myung. Mmmmmm…
CJM! He’s so out of this worldly even without his killer smiles.
)
Apart from what you already said, his “change” doesn’t make sense because one of his first roles ever was a tough guy in Fashion 70s.
“his first roles ever was a tough guy in Fashion 70s.”
And his first proper scene involved him stripping out of a scuba guit and presumably going commando while dogs were chasing him down . . .
Oh — just remember that CJM pined for Lee Yo Won in that show too! Huh. I guess Mishil really DOES own Deokman!
BIN SHI~pined for DeokMan in HANDCUFFS.
Belleza, I know you love the GreekGod copter scene most in F70s, but that scuba commando has MUD then rain and that’s followed by him still WET and twirling as good as topless
*slurp*
lol at the cheeseball…………good to see chun jung myung again
first pic is sexy! ahhh, that brooding gaze…
Just got home from work, starving to death, and now I’m thinking about eating cheesepuffs with a scruffy PIE.
YUM x INFINITY!!!
Thanks sleepyhead JB!
Cheese and Pie… cheesy pie I do not mind….
Yum.
It doesn’t matter what “look” he’s got going on, I want all of them, and him. Yummy:)

this line should be immortalized in stone, with a temple built around to commemorate it…best line ever!
In small minority that really liked him in CS.
LOL, JB you crack us up! It was a very cheesy line..
Also, I share your pain about Cinderella’s Sister. The plot became an abyss and they never really dug themselves out. Also annoyed with that commercial they always showed that showed scenes that you would never see in the actual drama, I mean WHY???? Why would they do that????
Uhh I will take CJM any way I can get him… scruffy, baby faced, sweaty, weepy, AND dripping with cheese. The man is terminally hot.
Hi all..Just wanna say..Because of his role in cs, I love him..after cs, I have been digging n going through all his works..So, I love him even more..He s a great actor and I love the way he looks beardy or not..most of all I love him in smart outfit..Manly..I just hope he knows that we fans pray for his SUCCESS..and HAPPINESS!
I need sleep too. 3am. Just got back from work. Saw CJM photos on dramabeans.com. Had to look. Am satisfied now. Off to bed.
He’s the only Korean actor I thought looked sexy with a beard… and I hate beards which says a lot, at least to me.
o , 0 Interesting…. somehow, he has too much of a baby face to make this machismo work. I’m not buying into his project IT factor. Pardon.
OMG I LOVE HIM!!! in CS. I really dont get it why people are so bitter in CS? i love the conflict,the characters,plot, interaction,cinematography. drama etc. i mean for me atleast it was awesome . compare to the tv show that is airing here in the philipines is just plain shit!!! Seriously,I wud prefer kdramas.so yeah. i dont know to you guys what exactly you were expecting in the drama though i admit it the ending cud have been better.. _>
i totally agree with u, Kuging!
and dont forget the CS’ soundtrack is amazing!
I learned to admire him so much not only for his acting skills but for enjoying his MS for 2 years earning him a Excelency award or something like this, who else have done this in this entertainment industry? i heard one but i cant recall his name now, lol!
Can he pull a rough-guy-look off? He is so innocent looking with eyes like a lake of gold.
oh yeah he really is cute what ever hairstyle he had, and i love this guy…… really love this guy, hhhhhaaaayyyy!
CJM oppa, i really like you esp in cinderella’s sister.. i love ur smile and ur “boy next door” look.. but nevertheless i still do like you.
