Park Yoo-hwan tries the bad-boy look for High Cut
by | January 26, 2012 | 72 Comments

javabeans: Is this attractive or awkward?

girlfriday: Ha. Um… maybe both?

javabeans: I can’t tell if I find his look discordant because it’s strange on its own, or if that’s because I so strongly associate him with his character from Thousand Day Promise.

girlfriday: Yes, because he’s so squishy and cute, like an adorable little bro, not a rocker boy.

javabeans: Squishy is the best word for his expressions! And I mean that in a positive way. He has a total hedgehog face!

girlfriday: What? That can’t be real. That’s just cuteness overload!

javabeans: Right? Not glam-rocker-in-a-wifebeater-and-leather-pants hotness overload.

girlfriday: Hence the dissonance. Now I wanna see him eat a carrot.

javabeans: THAT SOUNDS DIRTY.

girlfriday: Like the hedgehog!

javabeans: I don’t even want to know what that means.

girlfriday: Sigh. I am SO misunderstood.

    Yeah I don’t really know what to think about this . . . .

  2. WickedBiccie

    Am I first? How is this possible?? Could it be that for once living in Korea puts me on the right side of the time difference??

    Anyways. I haven’t seen Thousand Days Promise (ducks for cover) so I have no particular associations for Park Yoo Hwan, and I gotta tell ya, I’m still feelin the dissonance!

    He has a fit body, no question, but his face is just too cute for the bad boy look.
    I would like to submit Photo 2 as Exhibit A you honours, you can’t see his face and it’s total RARW!!

      I haven’t watched past the first ep of TDP (saving for a rainy day) and I gotta tell you…I do not have a problem with this. He’s cute AND hot.

      But I would take the hedgehog over him anyday.

    • 2.2 queencircles

      I stopped watching about halfway through with no interest of really finishing it. I read all the recaps though. I almost stayed for him and Jae-min oppppaa. But I was just too bored. Anyway. I like the pictures though. He’s so cute.

    • 2.3 RooRocks

      totally agree with you about that second photo – oh my!!

    • 2.4 ~Feather~

      same here, I’ve been meaning to watch, but never got around to it.
      Even if I haven’t seen TDP, the pic just looks awkward and hot (though I’m leaning more towards cute)

      I like the last picture the best b/c he looks so adorable :3

  3. C3PO

    OMG its those jeans AGAIN

    Brotherhood of the traveling pants exhibit 4!!!

    ^ only a JYJ fan would know what i’m talking about probably
    :D

    Yoochun was in high cut wearing those jeans as well for highcut (That shoot was UNF-tastic)

    anyways Yoo bro is lookin good

    waiting for his next project

    like the jacket and the traveling pants ofc

    • 3.1 song pong

      oh my god, he IS wearing those pants! So the three of the JYJ boys wore them, and now Yoohwan…lol.
      He is awkward but has his own charm<3

    • 3.2 kaye

      Yes! Those traveling pants!

    • 3.3 hanie

      Yes, that jeans again. *sigh* Hopefully the traveling stop at Yoohwan cause I don’t want to see Jihyo in it. Someone at omana said that we should chip in since Cjes can’t afford to buy them new jeans and they already blew their mollah on expensive houses & cars. LOL!!!

  4. Mystisith

    I totally adore the hedgehog face ! If this guy is a baddie, then i’m Princess Diana… Can i put him in my pocket please ?

  5. nuri

    oh. its seems wrong.

    i don’t even like Yoo Chun dressed as idols, since i know him from SKKS, i feel he fits the geek image than idols image.

    now this? *closeeyes*

  6. KDrama Fan

    Amazing what a stylist can do. Yoo-hwan looks so different here. Except for the (hedgehog) face:)

  7. missbess

    I think I’m going to go with awkward on this one.
    By the way, lovin the new mobile theme :)

  8. Uca

    OOOH, he’s a bad boy.
    and I am a pervert.

    • 8.1 come2noona

      This comment cracked me up. :)

    • 8.2 JD

      ahhaha

  9. bie81

    maybe better muscle definition would help?

  10. 10 Ace

    So…Park Yoo-hwan who? Sorry, got distracted by that cute hedgehog…where can I get one? I already have the carrots. ;) The thing I learned today is that hedgehogs can be cute pets. Who knew? I hate them hedgehogs when playing mobile game app sunday lawn.

  11. 11 nynaeve

    Uhm, I don’t know if I’ve missed something here, but how can eating a carrot be dirty?

    • 11.1 Sisa

      Umm, i must be a pervert if i got that right away
      -.-

    • 11.2 JoAnne

      Yeah…how can eating a carrot NOT be dirty?

      • 11.2.1 Cynthia

        Unless the person next to you is licking on a popsicle..
        :)

        • 11.2.1.1 JoAnne

          and named Kim Hyun Joong.

          • 11.2.1.1.1 Cynthia

            ***tingles***

            We are SO bad…..
            :)

    • 11.3 afth120

      “Fast Times at Ridgemont High carrot practice” on youtube.

  12. 12 FUNtasteek

    Aw JB, you should’ve posted Yoo-chun’s High Cut photos as well, and put them side by side with Yoo-hwan’s, just for cuteness’ sake of having these brothers wearing the same expressions (and even the same pants..? I read somewhere up top) in the same magazine cover. :)

    • 12.1 geanna

      gosh yes please!!! double the cuteness! err.. i mean, the sexiness lol!

  13. 13 melonhead

    That hedgehog is the personification of cute.

    • 13.1 melonhead

      though I wonder, where on EARTH does javabeans find these things??

      • 13.1.1 ~Feather~

        Yes. javabeans, can you please tell us HOW you find clips like this!?
        do you just randomly type “hedgehog eating carrot” ?

        • 13.1.1.1 djes

          as you can see on the vid : “cuteness overload” ( http://cuteoverload.com/ )
          I know the site because of JB. :D

  14. 14 Lady Seoul

    He does look a bit … awkward? haha

  15. 15 lizzzie

    okay i had no idea he had that tattoo on his back. yoochun has the same one on his chest. SO MUCH LOVE. And i agree with the above commenter, the hyung’s high cut shoot was so drool-worthy

  16. 16 hoola

    he’s just too cute to look bad. LOL!

    but chunnie’s high cut photosoot was…HOTNESS!

  17. 17 djinni

    you guise kill me with your conversational posts! HA!

  18. 18 jyyjc

    All I see is cute. He has to go learn the sexy from his brother.

  19. 19 geanna

    Yoochun was pulling this kind of sexy mysterious yet adorable concept too in High Cut, and he pawned it. Yoohwan on the other hand, urm… let’s just say he’s not yet suitable for this kind of concept coz he’s too adorable and squish-able to the extent of he looks awkward doing sexy pose. maybe because he’s still very young.

  20. 20 Cam

    Awwies ~ ~ I really looove Park Yoo Hwan (from Twinkle Twinkle) He’s reaallly adoorable-ish & he look so good when he wear his “bad-boy” style like that! ;) :)

  21. 21 Nica

    Oh look, he has armpit hair! Wow, it’s nice to see an ordinary “masculine” man again. *cough* pretty boy idols *cough*

  22. 22 Sammi

    Wait….did they photoshop YooChun’s tattoo onto YooHwan?

    • 22.1 hoola

      nope

    • 22.2 queencircles

      They have the same tattoo

    • 22.3 JD

      LOL

  23. 23 DMKO

    JB and gf, your conversations crack me up! Hedgehog face? where do you get these ridiculously cute videos?
    Thanks for the morning laugh!

  24. 24 Ani

    “Wifebeater”. Hahaha. I remember – was it Jay Park(?) – getting scolded by using Wifebeater instead of Tank Top or whatever on Happy Together. For a second there I was reading it more as an image, than the other name for what he’s wearing. Hedgehock! Can he run fast? So cute.

    P.S. I’m not laughing at the concept of wife beating – NOT A LAUGHING MATTER! – just the word. Argh-gar-gar. XD

    • 24.1 Ani

      Oh, and it was Park Myungsoo that did the scolding. So funny that old guy. XD

  25. 25 Czmych

    I will never be able to look a hedgehog straight in the face again

    • 25.1 blergh

      Have you done that a lot in the past??

      • 25.1.1 Czmych

        Right… then I will never be able to look at Park Yoo hwan without thinking about hedgehogs

  26. 26 avonmarissa

    Well forget Park Yoo-hwan. Because of your video I ended up watching cute hedgehog videos on youtube for 10 minutes. Now I want one of those little fellas :)

    • 26.1 JoAnne

      did you see the one where the hedgehog hides its face everytime the guy off camera coughs or farts?

  27. 27 MJ

    Sorry to say…He’s unable to carry off the Bad Boy Image.
    He looks like a Bad Boy wannabe….chuckling…chuckling…

  28. 28 Banu

    Drop DeaD Gorgeous!!!

  29. 29 marteki

    lol i think i’m going to go with awkward for this one..he’s just too cute

  30. 30 Hang

    I think Yoochun pulled off the image of a bad boy much better than his younger brother (his eyes, oh dear, http://www.allkpop.com/2011/11/jyjs-yoochun-shocks-with-his-photoshoot-for-high-cut-magazine). And you should’ve posted them side by side, like someone said, for cuteness’ sake :D

  31. 31 noodles143

    he looks good but his body figure is tad off? he doesn’t look bad…

  32. 32 gala

    this is more like the Park Yoohwan i’m familiar with… I mean, when he was just Yoochun’s brother. he sported a somewhat punk-esque look with long hair and whatnot (at least when we went to their gelato shop). in fact, the cute dongsaeng-look from TDP was surprising to me.

    • 32.1 JD

      I agree! This is definitely the “real” Park Yoohwan!

  33. 33 Linda165

    “Park Yoo-hwan tries the bad-boy look for High Cut”… And fails adorably.

  34. 34 JD

    Wifebeater’s a derogatory term that one shouldn’t use .. :/

  35. 35 Carinne

    I like his sneakers. °__° Isn’t there anybody else at High Cut more friendly towards him enough to give him better pics? Gees, are these pics done by interns?

  36. 36 alua

    I find these… a little silly maybe?

    Not the artsy types of pictures I would stare at for hours… Particularly no 2. And 3. Number 1 is okay-ish, but I have seen better than that too.

    • 36.1 Mystisith

      I would say minimalist. Let’s wrap this in 15 mins, and sorry but no budget.

      • 36.1.1 alua

        But sadly they probably spent more than 15 minutes on these pictures.

        And just not a very creative photographer.

  37. 37 Noelle

    That is some v neck. It looks like he’s two steps away from opening the v vault.

  38. 38 Jen

    The shadows on his face in the last picture make him look a lot like Brian from Fly to the Sky. (LOL. It’s been a while since I typed “Fly to the Sky.” Weird.)

  39. 39 Dalena

    He has armpit hair? :o

  40. 40 Susie

    he reminds me of brian joo from fly to the sky in these photos~

  41. 41 Sejong

    The armpit hair is so damn sexy! It is a real turn on!
