Elle photo spread features ajusshi stars
by | October 27, 2011 | 50 Comments

Aw, how cute are they? November’s issue of Elle is going with a fun novel concept, featuring some of the big and small screen’s most charismatic actors, in a downright adorable set of photos. Who would’ve thought “ajusshi” and “cute” would go together so well? Choi Min-soo, who’s just come off yet another standout performance on fusion sageuk Warrior Baek Dong-soo, looks positively giddy on his bike. I just love that on the outside, Choi Min-soo is the tattooed rocker/biker and serious actor, but then he’ll show up on variety programs and be the goofy ajusshi with great comic timing. This guy needs a comic reversal for his next role. Like his very own Best Love? How awesome would that be?

Ryu Seung-ryong (Bow The Ultimate Weapon, Personal Taste) is so frickin’ cute with his lolli. After his recent box office smash hit Bow The Ultimate Weapon, he’ll be sticking to the big screen for his next project, joining Lee Seon-kyun and Im Soo-jung in All About My Wife .

Below him are Yoon Jae-moon (Tree With Deep Roots, Midas) and Ma Dong-seok (Dr. Champ, Swallow the Sun). With these three guys, I’d say the concept of the shoot is something like Dr. Watson and his array of tweed jackets, but Choi Min-soo’s badassery puts a big hole in that theory. Hm, Choi Min-soo in a tweed jacket. Now THAT’s something I’ve never seen. I guess some ajusshis will just always be boys.

The full shoot with interviews hits stands in November.

    • 5.1 snow

      exactly. now THAT is a photoshoot. loving the first two pics and the last one. awesome stuff.

  6. come2noona

    “Who would’ve thought “ajusshi” and “cute” would go together so well?”

    Ummmmm, me?

    My very own ajusshi (husband) is really quite cute, and even (dare I say) hot. Wait till you all hit ajumma age, you’ll see…

    • 6.1 Stacy

      I agree, but then even my 20-yr old daughter has a thing for “old hot guys” (ie Sean Connery, Hugh Laurie, etc).

      That first picture makes me want to become a biker babe…

  7. Venus

    This was a super great idea by Elle..all our faves ajusshi need to be recognized!!…

    • 7.1 mary

      I agree!

      We want more ajusshis and oppas!

      We are tired of having ICOMYM. Please give us more spreads like this.

      • 7.1.1 mary

        Oops. I meant that for the Korean Entertainment industry in general.

        Anything you DB girls post and spazz about is fine by me. :D

  8. Ani

    WoW! Choi Minsoo is Awesomeness personified!

  9. aoiaheen

    Oh! Choi Min Soo! How hot! I have never stared so long at a 47 year old man before.

    I wonder where all those tattoos went when he was in WBDS.

    • 9.1 cherkell

      Well heck… did we *ever* see Cheon take his shirt off (except for that one scene of him tending to his own back wound)? All those black flowing robes covered up the awesome for those 15 weeks — and it was our loss as well. I cannot believe he’s gonna be 50 next year!! ::swoon::

      This crazy ajumma highly approves of this photo spread!! As much as I love my pretties, some ajusshi goodness always makes my day. RAWR!!

  10. 10 LK

    I’ve never seen a movie or drama with Choi Min Soo, but I’ve seen him in Running Man and yes, he is seriously charismatic! He can be so scary sometimes, but he can also do aegyo hahaha. He needs to comeback on Running Man!!

  11. 11 hjkomo

    Now THIS is what I call a photo shoot. Hot dayum. :D

  12. 12 Myxale

    Kudos to the magazine!

    Bout time.
    We all need a break from those overly young and cute boy-toys(girls).

    Time for some decent vintage!

  13. 13 anais

    That photo of Choi Min Soo just made my day! What a great way to kick off the day! Thank you, girlfriday!

  14. 14 lovepark

    Now this is what I’m talking about. I love all four! They’re all great actors who look and can pull off manly and charismatic but oddly, can be adorable like cuddly bears. What a juxtaposition, but that’s probably why I love them and good ajusshi actors in general!

  15. 15 dany

    Great! They are so sexy and funny and talented!

  16. 16 dara

    The Sky Lord of Heuksa Chorong!

  17. 17 Rachael

    Need more adjusshi shoots! Could there even be some adjumma ones lined up please?

    Considering that really Watson isn’t a bumbler (Judd Law did a marvellous job in his version!) I’d disagree and say Watson is quite fitting.

  18. 18 Basuha

    OMG, love him in Warrior Baek Dong-soo, he was the only reason I watch the drama. His performance was excellent. He looks damm sinner sexy on that bike, yes finally not some pre-teen sexiness, so real ajusshi swagger and I’m giddy with happiness..

  19. 19 xiaoSxin

    Kim Gab Soo should be on that cover as well. I think many will agree with me he is one sexy ahjusshi….

  20. 20 coconutjuice

    SOOO much cuteness!!! GAHHH!

  21. 21 Raine

    The last photo really captures a great ‘moment’. I want to giggle along with Ma Dong-seok when I see it. I really love seeing these kinds of shoots. They’re just as awesome to look at as the younger folks (each good for their own special reasons…young folks *HOT**COUGH*HOT*…) But these guys make aging graceful and fun. Heck, its not aging, its getting riper with life and still looking damn good.

  22. 22 aravisalice

    Choi Min Soo is blazing! Since I’ve never seen a drama with him in it before, could one (or more!) of you kdrama lovers please share your favorite ones so that I can get a crash course on this man? Thanks in advance!

    • 22.1 Shiku

      He was the only goo thing in warrior baek dong su. He was also in sandglass

  23. 23 crazedlu

    choi minsooooo.

  24. 24 Retta

    HA! Now this is the Good Stuff, The Private Reserve, The Vintage…ah you get my drift!
    Yes the youngin’s are cute but the ahjussi’s are um um um!!!

    These men are gorgeous.

  25. 25 sheilajsn

    This is so liberating!
    I usually feel guilty about liking way-too-young-for-me Korean guys.
    These ajusshis definitely put everything in perspective.
    LOVE THEM!

  26. 26 Noelle

    Omg at the first pic my reaction was literally me saying dang. There is just something about CMS, man.

  27. 27 noodles143

    AUJUSSHI!!!
    Choi Min So scares me the most. lol

  28. 28 langdon813

    This is a freaking awesome post, which shall be visited over and over again. Lord. Have. Mercy.

    • 28.1 momosan

      right-click and save….

  29. 29 nabithoj

    Yoon Jae Moon…the 2nd to the last pic reminds me of the Amos from the musical film “Chicago” and especially reminds me of the song he sang “Mister Cellophane” which was such a good and sad song…

  30. 30 strawberryfieldsforever

    there should be a 2nd part to this! there are a whole lotta cute ajusshis out there :D

  31. 31 Cammie

    Gosh, I reaally LOVE these ajusshi stars [these pictures] who pose like that way, keke!

    Sooo awesome, Choi Min-Soo!!! \^_____^/

  32. 32 Saki

    Bow chika wow wow. I’m 17 but handsome men are still handsome men. I like young men from time to time(more like close to or around 30 year old baby faces) but overall I enjoy these pictures more. Can I say lee jung jae? Jang hyuk? Lee min ki. Cha seung won. matsumoto kenichi. Kim Rae won. Kimura takuya! Hahaha xD I’ll stop here. I asure you, I’m healthy. They’re just my eye candy.
