…And girlfriday gets on plane.
Gong Yoo (Finding Kim Jong-wook, Coffee Prince) has decided to start the holiday season off the right way, by giving out hugs to fans. Really, there’s pretty much nothing better you could get me for Christmas. Hugs? From cutie? I’m there!
The event, called Hug Day, is a chance for Gong Yoo to sneak up on a theater full of fans (who are watching his latest movie Finding Kim Jong-wook, natch) and surprise them with hugs. He’s done surprise individual meet-and-greets at theaters already, as a show of appreciation for all the warm responses he’s getting for the film. But this time, there will be HUGS. The event will take place today, at a theater in Seoul.
Curses, Universe, for your space-time continuum and your insistence on shackling us with it. Oh well. On to Plan B: body swap with teddy bear.

i want his hug!!!!!!!!!!!!!waaaaahhh
me too…. so love him…wish i am his teddy bear…..
lucky teddy bear!
With my luck, even if I was in Seoul watching his movie…I would end up at the wrong movie theater and not the one he’s at for his Hug Day.
me too! i wont wash for a day if he’d give me a hug!!
I will only not give him a hug. I will also do all the naughty things I could think of!
haha…u alwez make me laugh gf…. where can i get a no. for a body swap with the teddy bear?
haha…drink some home made alcohol like in secret garden! XD
lucky fans
ke ke ke
i want to see his new movie
and please we want to see you in a new drama
Question: are there other body swap dramas?
Who Are You is a good one.
Very touching…Yooon Kye Sang is amazing in it.
Dramacrazy.net and Dramafever have it.
I believe there’s another one where a 21 year old girl swaps bodies with the wife of the man she’s having an affair with. Heck if I can remember what it’s called, though. It was meh – I think the ending really irriated me (along with the husband character altogether)
Yes it was called Please Come Back, Soon Ae! I think that one had Park Jin Hee in it….I saw a couple of episodes but it definitely is not as good as Who Are You (imo…)
who are you was heart warming and funny! more people should give it a try. YKS is awesome sauce!
Boku to Kanojo no XXX
Thank you everyone!
”Curses, Universe, for your space-time continuum and your insistence on shackling us with it. Oh well. On to Plan B: body swap with teddy bear.”
hehehehehe .^ ^.
Gosh dangit I want a hug and I want to see that adorkable movie.
That picture is SO adorable, my blood has turned to sugar. The idea of being hugged by him? Now I’m nothing but a puddle of goo. Someone scrape me up and ship me to the theater, please!
Now all the fans are going to read that news article and say “OMG we need to go to the theatre RIGHT NOW.”
I wonder how much sales are going to jump today. XD
his smile makes me melt. love to see his old, coffee prince hairstyle back, not a fan of his army and FKJW looks.
hahaha … GF …. BTW …taaaakkkkeeee meee with you please ..scream … i want his hug too
OH NO!! I want a body swap with that teddy bear too… T.T I’m so green with envy for those people at the theater!

even if I fly out to Seoul, I’d reach the city at midnight! (do they have midnight screenings?
)
oh! for the love of everything hi-tech! why did they ever think that personal jetpacks can never be useful/marketable and didn’t push through with mass production?
Yoo’r all I want for Christmas!
Haha izzei we share the same choices for our Christmas gifts
haha! sumee sistah!
actually, there are two Yoo’s whom I want for Christmas…
the Gong Yoo and the Yoo Ah In…
so jealous of that white bear! (follows suit with GF’s plan B)
- the biPolar Bear.
hi sumee and izzie! gong YOO and YOO ah in, double YES!!!
i loved him in coffee prince and in biscuit teacher. gong yoo is adorable, huggable and all-around lovable 
hehehe
Indeed.. YOO’r all i want for Christmas, hahaha!

All I want for Christmas is a Yoo Ah In…
a Yoo Ah In…

Gong yoo….yoo ah in ….yoo’s make me go weak on my mind, heart, knees !
who can forget our loony anthem: All I want for Christmas is a YOO ah in…hahahaha! love that to bits
hahaha! summeeeeee! YOO’s make me go weak in my mind, heart and knees, too! LOL
- i so love YOO
at the very least…
I have a new PC WALLPAPER.
*saves photo to file!*
Izzie and samgetang we love yoo’s too much
hi! been missing YOO loonies! just as i was wondering where on earth…er…on DB…could i find u guys bantering again, i saw this post – with the picture of YOO and the hug and everything – and… there you are!
uhm… one quick question. how old is gong yoo? isn’t he in his 30′s? so.. older than yoo ah in? hmmm….
hey there pastmidnite!
how have yoo been doin’? 
“how old is gong yoo? isn’t he in his 30′s? so.. older than yoo ah in? hmmm….”
- I’m answering this with a smile.
He’s 31 (32 in Korean age), born in 1979 (my year too! 
) He’s definitely older than Yoo Ah In who was born 1986.
yes, I’m a stalker-lite that way.
“Izzie and samgetang we love yoo’s too much”
LOL! yoo‘r so right, Sumee!
(i hear someone yelling, “stooop!!! stop with the ‘yoo’ thing already!!!”
Dear Santa,
I would like to thank you for responding to my gift request so early. But I also have to inform you that you have delivered the wrong gift. I asked for the guy in the photo that I attached in my letter, but apparently I got the white bear.
This morning I found the human-sized sock that I hung on my chimney bursting on the seams. Imagine my horror when it occurred to me that it could be Gong Yoo and he wasn’t moving!!! When I checked, it was the bear. I was part-relieved, part-disappointed, to know that Gong Yoo is okay and also, you read my request wrong.
I’m sending back the bear and will ask that you pay me back for the return freight. Please do it right and send me the Yoo. If you can’t send Gong Yoo, please send Yoo Ah In.
Love,
izzie
Dear izzie,
As you know, there are billions of people around the world, so I have to get to work early. I’m glad that you appreciate my effort. However…
I tried to capture the Yoo. He struggled, kicked and bit me. He ran away and left the bear behind. Now that’s as far as I would go for a gift request so I didn’t bother to chase him. Besides, the bite was nasty I had to be taken to the hospital. (Rudolph too, for he was constipated from a laughing fit.)
I’m sorry but I won’t even attempt to capture the Yoo Ah In for you. I tried to do it for another requestor, but while I was at it the younger Yoo whipped out his bow and arrow when he sensed my intentions. It scared me to bits. My psychiatrist had a hard time debriefing my reindeers and convincing them that it ain’t open season yet.
Keep the bear and be happy. Don’t send it back. Seeing it gives me the shivers. I still have five anti-rabies shots that I have to visit the doctor for. (You never know…) The Yoo left a big bite scar on my hand, it’s ugly. Mrs. Claus had been nagging me about it. She said something about me taking a bite from someone else.
If the bear shows up at my door, I’m suing you.
And by the way, you’re banned from my “nice” list indefinitely. And so is the Gong Yoo.
Love,
Santa
Izzie!! LOL…you and your yoobsessiveness are really too much
Now I think I have to check myself to the hospital because there’s definitely something wrong with my face- my mouth in particular… it can’t stop grinning.. much like joker’s grin except without the evil
I feel sorry for rudolf though… he had constipation AND a nervous breakdown, whilst I am very fortunate to only suffer the joker-like desease.
Oh and thank you so very very much for the fabulous news regarding the 32-year-old yoo! (I’ll take the korean age, thank you! A bit closer to my non-korean age)
izzie!!!!! wahahahahahahaaaaa! that’s got to be the coolest santa missive ive seen in my entire kdrama-crazy life hehehe…you had me in stitches, knots, and all sorts of hilarious positions, hahaha!
wonderful!!!!! missed all these banter from YOO… err…you!
yoobsessiveness, indeed! pastmidnite, that’s a gem! hahaha! sorry to hear abt the mouth though, hahaha!
we love yoo’s too much…big big YOO-righty, sumee!
who would not be???
wow! wonder what will santa give me this Christmas knowing that he already gave you, izzie, the poor fluffy bear by mistake….either one of the two YOO’s will do…yay! dont he dare give me the that gigantic lemongrass without the pocket-sized yoo ah in! he’d rather wish prancer and dancer and all the rest of the gang would join rudolph in the laughing spree, hahahaha!
have YOOself a merry Christmas, loony noonies!
“you and your yoobsessiveness are really too much”
“I feel sorry for rudolf though… he had constipation AND a nervous breakdown, whilst I am very fortunate to only suffer the joker-like disease.”
LOL! so sowee, pastmidnite!!!
hope you recover soon! 
dont he dare give me the that gigantic lemongrass without the pocket-sized yoo ah in!”
if he gives you the lemongrass, it better come with the McSteamy, err… the steamy, no… the steamer!
(gosh! I’m typo-erring here just thinking about the Yoo.)
Dear Santa,
Okay, fine! I’ll keep the bear. It smells of Gong Yoo, anyway. I’ll hug it, thinking that the Yoo hugged it.
It’s not my fault that the Yoo put up a fight with you. So I’m appealing for my slot in your ‘nice’ list.
By the way, how’s Rudolph?
Love,
izzie
Dear izzie,
Since you’ve learned to be happy with what you got, I’m considering your appeal re: my ‘nice’ list. However, you’ve got to consult a shrink for you’ve been hugging that teddy bear all day. At your age it doesn’t look normal, and it ain’t healthy for ya. (What? You think I don’t know? How do you suppose I make my annual list of naughty and nice? I’m a stalker that way.)
How’s Rudolph? He’s delicious. (burp!)
Love,
Santa
“:D YOObsessed, indeed!
(oh, aren’t you too?)”
who, me?? ‘course not! uh uh…
just a bit over-enyoosiastic, yes
and thanks for your concern, izzie & samgetang… it’s much better now
except now i’m sad coz i never had the chance to say goodbye to poor rudolph…
well… off to re-watch coffee prince!!
hi izzie…the biPolar Bear…hahahaha!
my morning is so much fun reading your wacky santa communiques (how does he manage to reply so fast, i dont know!) hahahaha!
“However, you’ve got to consult a shrink for you’ve been hugging that teddy bear all day. At your age it doesn’t look normal, and it ain’t healthy for ya.”
poor teddy…
and now poor rudolph, too! (and i was abt to ask how is he…better warn prancer, dancer and the rest LOL!)
- putting the lemon-grass inside the steamer
PS izzie…really!!!! if we only collected all your funny write-ups here you should be book-signing soon….i swear you are so much fun…don’t you want to make this into a full-time career? maybe a book on the travails of a kdrama addict or something hahaha! and im serious!!!! (even if im laughing all the way…with santa
haha. am only glad to share the cway-zy stories that spin in my head.
seriously, I’m having the urge to buy an oversized teddy bear (lucky if I find a white one… which should equal higher cleaning cost
) because of Gong Yoo. 
if I find a YAI photo with a teddy bear, then that does it! 
a full-time career? omo! that’s scary!
I would need a daily dose of Yoo’s to keep the crazy going. aigoo! what would that do to my mind?? 
at any rate, thanks for the faith.
“maybe a book on the travails of a kdrama addict or something”
- this kind of stuff would require the joint powers of the Moony Loony Noonas!
seriously!
Awww, that is so sweet.
Gong Yoo and hugs? Oh God, why did you curse me by putting me in America?
i agree! Why am I in America? especially when Gong Yoo lives in Korea, too much distance to stalk! I need to find a way to teleport…maybe using floo powder…
Aww! So sweet..GY u jus gav me anothr rsn 2 drem abt u!! Lyk da cute hugable pakage!!

Isn’t he just the cutest??!!
Hugs… gd I do need some rn!
This is legit the most adorable thing I’ve heard in days. HE’S GOING TO SNEAK UP TO FANS AND SURPRISE HUG THEM.
SERIOUSLY.
just like JUNSU
lucky korean girls
i would happily die today if i could be reincarnated as that teddy bear
Agreed hehe
HUGS?!! FROM GONG YOO?! Why today? Why not last year when I was in Seoul!?! Damnit!!
That’s… actually really adorable.
Oh god, if i didn’t have an exam tomorrow, i would’ve SERIOUSLY hopped on the first plane i could get.
Wait… Seoul’s only 4 hours away! I could do this! … But damn, i’ve got too much stuff left to revise. Curse you, fat textbooks that make no sense! X|
These events always seem to have impeccable timing with exam periods…T.T
I can only dream from afar…
OMG!!!!! he’s super cute and hot! where’s my hug???? dammit i’m way too far here in Peru, i could only make it teletransporting myself like in Dragonball or Jumper
=(!!!
wanna be that bear too…
So random: So when I was reading this, I remember my dream this morning. In my dream, Im Soo Jung and Gong Yoo are graphs farmer. They were silvering the graphs to the bus stop in order to deliver it to another city or something. I was with a bunch of my classmates, and when I saw them delivering graphs, I was shocked because I was like, “huh how come this amazing actor is working for a vineyard.” Anyway, after they put the graphs into the bus, my classmates and I all got into the bus. The graphs are blocking the bus aisle so I put them on the side. It was very delicious looking–so healthy looking. oh and I also saw Rainie Yang in my dream too……ahh so random…………and it this sounds better and looks more weird in my dream
The people who get surprise hugged should ask for nothing more in life! nothing i say! grr.
Gees, that is one lucky theater room.
I wonder how many fans will feel a sense of being impregnated by Gong Yoo’s hug? ^ , ^”
Those fans need to go out and purchase some lottery tickets. What are the chances?
I want Gong Yoo hugs!!!! *so jealous* He is such a sweetie!
bwaahahaha I saw that first sentence coming a mile away. How adorable is a Hug Day? I just might expire from the cuteness. I dearly hope this isn’t some PR ploy or just his manager, or something.
Also, don’t you mean Runaway Plan B: Body Swap Secret Scandal (now with Goong/ Playful Kiss teddy bears before the preview)?
Body Swap with tedy bear great idea
Go girl friday I support you 
)
So Jealous. Those darn luck south koreans who are in those theaters.
Girl friday you really should put a warning at the top of posts that are this funny – hot tea running out of my nose hurts!
BTW, I would love to be hugged by Yoo but I am afraid that it is illegal in some countries for an “older” woman such as myself to hug a young hottie like him. Oh! who cares prison would be worth it (just don’t tell my husband).
as long as you’re a member of ICOMYM, it’s ok to hug younger guys.
(ICOMYM: inappropriate crushes on much younger men.)
I want to trade place with that bear.
ah!!! i can’t take it!! he’s just so adorkable!!!
Mooouuu~~~ 9o9 What I would do for a feasible chance at getting there!!
I’m so excited for his new movie, and even though it’ll take half a year to get my hands on a copy of it with subs I’m pretty sure that I’ll still be just as psyched for it when it happens.
Bodyswap with Teddy, lawwwlz I freaken LOVE your sense of humor
uffff he is sucha great actor with adorable expressions!!!ufff
‘body swap with the bear’ really cracked me up. LOL. yeah, what a chance. if i get that hug i won’t be able to act quite normally.
aww can i have it for Christmas? i won’t ask for anything else
SOOOO adorable! And so not fair.
I’m now in Seoul and free today.
Any clues on which theater? Lotte? Coex?
Just a little hint so that I could, at least, share a hug. It’s all in the spirit of Christmas.
Girlfriday, I am so with you when you wrote “Will forever be in love with Choi Han-gyul. The End.” Now whenever I read about Gong Yoo I feel an warm-inner-heart-hug-of-love for him! I can’t wait to see this movie! Please do special review of it if you can.
Amen to the ‘forever in love with Han-gyul’. Coffee Prince was my first GY drama and ‘fell in love’ with him in that one. He’ll forever remain the top Korean actor in my heart!
DAMMIT I’M IN SEOUL AND I WANT MY HUG!!!!!!!!!!!
If only I knew which theatre!
…….Gong Yoo would have to surgically remove me post-hug.
I really wan the teddy bear..
and so i really want yoo more..
I had a loooong lay over at Incheon, I should’ve left the airport. Gaah!
I didn’t realize how badly I wanted a hug from Gong Yoo until I read this post. I’m SO jealous!
“On to Plan B: body swap with teddy bear.”

“…And girlfriday gets on plane.”

hahahaha! Great plan!
*sigh* typo. resourses=resources
Yup Yups! ^________^
