Jung Il-woo with his new puppy for Céci
by | September 21, 2011 | 63 Comments

It’s Jung Il-woo with puppies. What’s not to love?

The star of upcoming cable drama Flower Boy Ramyun Shop poses with his new puppy Awoo in a photo shoot for Céci, to show the world his new best friend. The shar-pei puppy was a birthday present from his fans, given to him at his latest fan meeting. He named the dog Awoo, meaning younger brother (or sister, like another word for dongseng). I think it’s adorable because it’s also the phonetic dog cry “Aaaa-wooooo!” on top of being named as a member of the family.

Jung said, “It’s the most special present I’ve ever received. Pets can’t express their emotions like people, so you have to treat them with the utmost care and concern. I want to give loads of love to Awoo — as much love as I’ve received from fans — for the rest of his life, and live happily with him.” Aaaaack. Could you be ANY CUTER?

Besides the cuteness overload that is Jung Il-woo + puppy (that’s just redundant is what), I’m really excited for his new drama. I’m hoping that it’ll be the best of both worlds for Jung — a leading role, but a quirky, fun character like his memorable run as the sassy hot-tempered Scheduler in 49 Days. I’d much rather watch the B-side version of that drama, where the reaper was the star. I can’t wait to see him rock the ramyun shop with his pretty-boy-fu.

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop premieres October 31 on TvN. Woot!

  6. foraredrose

    TOO CUTE… <3 I still can't get over the title of the drama, although I'm sure it sounds a lot better in Korean :P

  7. melonhead

    …..It’s too CUTE!!!

    *passes out from cuteness

    Btw, which crazy person said being reincarnated as a dog was a bad thing?? It’s probably an upgrade to human if you’re Jung Il Woo’s dog.

  8. Cristy

    The dog’s name really is adorable, haha.

  9. Sam

    They are just to cute!!! puppy + puppy = <3

  10. 10 iamyournoona

    That’s it. We are totally meant for each other. I have my BFF Maximus who is also a Shar-pei. Hey Scheduler-oppa we should totally get together so Awoo can have Max as his big bro and good doggie role model ^_~

    P.S Shar-peis are gorgeous!

    • 10.1 Cynthia

      Agree!
      Shar-peis are wrinkly bundles of love.
      Back in the ’80′s when the breed was first introduced in the U.S., I had to judge a class of them at a dog show. All those wrinkles – I still laugh thinking about handling their heads trying to see skull structure.
      :)

      • 10.1.1 anais

        OMG – do you judge at dog shows often? If so, can I be envious of you? My idea of heaven.

      • 10.1.2 poopie

        Are they smart?

        • 10.1.2.1 momosa

          Extremely smart & intelligent! but they have poor eyesights. I lost count of the many times my Benie fell into the drain….miss my Benie..

          • 10.1.2.1.1 nnaiy

            Fell into the drain? :O ouch!! I fell into a drain once when I lost control of my bike as a kid and the memory never fades!

  11. 11 Tha

    Aww. My cold and cruel heart just warmed up a little. Mauahahaha…

  12. 12 Thorpey

    This is just a thumbs up pics all around!!!

  13. 13 Kender

    My ovaries, they just went asplodey.

    The happy puppy-face in the last picture is seriously killing me, gah ♥♥♥♥ (Which puppy am I even talking about? They’re both so cuteeeee~)

  14. 14 rich

    Gaaah. Can I be that dog for a day to get a kiss from Jung Il-woo? Hahahaha! XD It’s so nice when guys love animals. You get to see their soft side which is usually hidden. ^^

  15. 15 tubunny

    I have never seen anyone taking a dog for a walk look that cute. SUGOI!

  16. 16 ren

    zomg it wears a cravat.

  17. 17 Banu

    Auwww a Shar Pei.. loved this dogs ever since a face cream commercial XD

    I wish I was that dog >__< Can I say that?.. O wait I just said it XD

  18. 18 jen

    dang if i saw him waking down the street….

    he’s got talent, looks and personality
    why isn’t he taken yet??

  19. 19 ✐ iZzie ✐

    LOL @ Awoo closing his eyes, anticipating the kiss from Jung Il-Woo. :D

    Since the puppy’s considered as member of the family, is his full name Jung A-woo now?

  20. 20 Elise

    Damn, that’s one hideous dog…

    • 20.1 Cynthia

      No, they really are cute when pups and noble as matured adults. The reason that Jung Il-woo is so taken with him is most likely because Shar-Peis have an impressive Asian history.
      The origin of the Chinese Shar-Pei can be traced to the province of Guangdong and has existed for centuries in the southern provinces of China. These dogs helped their peasant masters with various tasks, such as herding cattle and guarding the home and family, and, of course, they were used for generations as fighting dogs by the Chinese nobility.
      And that’s probably WAY more information that anyone needs. Sorry, it’s the dog person in me.
      :)

    • 20.2 nnaiy

      It doesn’t matter, Shar-peis have golden hearts regardless :) Haha pardon me but I’m a dog-lover!

  21. 21 koreamom

    i love this actor! these pictures are just too cute with awoo and him together. can’t wait to watch him in another drama. i still have withdrawals from mr scheduler!

  22. 22 koreamom

    wonder if the fans got awoo for him so they can watch them taking a walk together! another way to stalk your fave. actor. jkjkjk!

  23. 23 Dana

    So cute! I would adopt them both!

    BTW, he got Awoo as a present more than a year ago, on his previous b-day. Awoo is about 1 year old and one month.

    • 23.1 Tash

      That picture of him cradling her is so cute!

  24. 24 Arhazivory

    Okay, my next dog’s name is definitely going to be Awoo. XD

  25. 25 Jasmin

    Argh, a goodlooking guy with a dog… what can you love more!?x3 <3

  26. 26 Z

    The kid is obviously advertising for a wife. The subliminal messages are all over. “Ladies, I love puppies, therefore I love babies.”

    Well played Il-woo-shi. Worked on me.

  27. 27 myweithisway

    Oh lordy that’s too cute! And Awoo looks so happy too!

  28. 28 ilikehim

    This just totally remind me of his character/story in High Kidd Through the Roof! One of my fave part of that sitcom (along with Hwang Jung Eum and DanielChoi)!~

  29. 29 luraaa

    This is bad. I’m falling for Jung Il-woo.

    And I haven’t even started watching his shows yet (I know, I know. I’ll get started on RoI first and then 49 days when my schedule permits.).

  30. 30 Lala

    Sometimes I’m shocked at how lucky a dog can be :/ xD

  31. 31 kilmenyanne

    Damn, that dog is ugly – was my first thought.

    But then the last picture had the puppy grinning, and all was well with the world.

  32. 32 nabithoj

    Talk about cool names…I used to have a german shepherd mix and named her Aya (pronounced AH-YAH, similar to how Asians say AI-YAH, but with AH)… :)

    Love that last picture. He looks so casual and awesome.

    (You know, I don’t want to sound psycho, but I think you can photoshop that last pic by pasting a pic of yourself walking next to him…lol..) ;)

  33. 33 Eeefu

    gender confusion – I think Jung A-woo is a female. Can’t take the risk to offend 92% of his fan population? Imagine when JIW blogs: today I kissed my girl 15 times and brought her to shower… no no no.

  34. 34 chel

    miss my scheduler…..

  35. 35 nonski

    Gah! Wish he’s kissing me instead of the puppy.

  36. 36 Nheony

    Omo! I can’t wait to see FBRS. Ever since I saw the post I’ve been anticipating it. How cute is Jung really… but I too wish I’m the one he’s kissing instead of the puppy… or maybe we’re walking Awoo together — holding hands — gaahhh!! *sigh*

  37. 37 Carinne

    Awoo is female. Girl, you may have past life saved someone now reaping some good karma. She is all sunshine like her owner. Oh what a pair!

  38. 38 houstontwin

    Ultimately, the only positive memories that remain for my weeks of watching 49 days are of Jung Il Woo’s the Scheduler. His personal charm really transcended the drama.

  39. 39 darknesseyes

    hahaha adorkable <3

  40. 40 Musings

    I LOVE SHARPEIS!!!!! AHHH CUTE CUTE CUTE

  41. 41 Leina

    JIW, you had me at… Awoo :) Love you!!!

  42. 42 Cam

    How ADOOOORABLE!! ^_______^

  43. 43 jsa

  44. 44 Caimee
