Sung Joon goes from scruffy rocker to prepster
by | February 27, 2012 | 65 Comments

Aw, how adorable are Sung Joon and Jo Boa — our leads of Shut Up: Flower Boy Band — for this Céci spread?

It’s strange seeing him all fresh-faced and preppy when he channels the grungy street-rat look so thoroughly for the drama. And while she spends most of the drama looking pretty anyway, the colorful casualwear from Pony’s new season gives her a totally different vibe as well. The jeans, the bright sneakers, the letterman jackets… it’s like they’re straight out of a Tommy Hilfiger ad. Minus the pink pants, that is; that one comes straight from Lee Min-ho’s personal stash, I’m sure of it. And the couple glasses are a fun touch.

It’s almost enough to make me want to see Sung Joon all cleaned up and straightened out in Shut Up… until I remember how much I’m loving Ji-hyuk as the rugged and intense leader, scraggly perm and all. Rock on, dude.

    • 2.1 polly

      Yeah he is tall! Noticed that in Lie to Me…he looked taller than YEH in heels. Love the pair! So young n cute! ^^

    • 2.2 kbap

      187 cm, baby :P It’s all these stars’ fault that I only like tall guys… *sob no wonder I haven’t been in a relationship for the past three years. Or maybe it’s my semi-obnoxious personality. lol.

    Sung Joon-ah~

    Those pictures make my day! On perm or normal like that, I still adore him :)

    I fall in love with him since LTM, tho in the end I don’t really enjoy the drama anymore. Then seeing him on SUFBB makes me head over heel to him, at instant.

  4. ilukd

    They are just adorable

  5. come2noona

  6. tegami

  8. Banu

  9. Miky

    Woaaaaaa,they look so good together!!!love both of them…Jo Boa is sooo beautiful,like a doll…Sung Joon looks so cool in those pics,i really want him in his new drama to have this look!!!

  10. 10 Mystisith

    Seriously, that boy is a giant ! In the fourth pic, he gives me the FBRS Pillar vibe. And i agree, he can have any haircut, i will still find him attractive ( wait, don’t try the bald look please ).
    It’s like seeing their SH ! characters in an Alternate World : What if ?

    • 10.1 kewbie

      That’s exactly what I was thinking. It’s Pillar version 2!

      They do look so cute together. :-)

  11. 11 Cynthia

    Love this pictorial spread!

    For once, fashion where nothing looks overdone or whackadoodle – just two kids having a fun time in comfortable-looking, trendy clothing (although how did Flamingo Dreams escape from LMH’s possession?!)

    His hair looks great here – healthy, tamed and styled.
    :)

    • 11.1 ninji

      I lol’d at tamed.

    • 11.2 Maymay

      I’m sure Lee Min Ho will be demanding his pink pant back soon. :)

      By the way, how tall is Sung Joon? He seems to be just as tall as Lee Min Ho. Look at those long legs. :)

      • 11.2.1 Joy

        Well, according to Koreandrama.org, Sung Jun is 187 cm. He’s a bit taller than Lee Min Ho by 2 cm.

        I started to like this kid from Lie To Me. Thought he was unique and has a lot of potential. :)

        • 11.2.1.1 Maymay

          Oh, I remember reading that Lee Min Ho is also 187 cm. So they are pretty much the same height. Sung Joon is so skinny though.

  12. 12 djes

    wait, am I only one of the dramabeaners who love pink pants?
    I love pink, lavender, fushia pants….only with long legs.

    • 12.1 msim

      Not the only one at all.
      I like them on anyone brave/mad enough to wear them (but absolutely without heels – that goes for ladies and gents).

  13. 13 noernov

    They looked gorgeous…but I’m sure sung joon borrow the pants from LMH,hehehehehe ;)

  14. 14 kewbie

    Love, love, love! I love the preppy look for both of these cuties. Off the subject, doesn’t Jo Bo-ah look a little like Lee Chung-ah in some of these photos?

    • 14.1 darlainsummer

      off-subject, but i *sort-of* think Jo Boah look alot like Sulli from F(x). heeeeee….

  15. 15 MsB

    I wouldn’t recognized him walking down the street looking like this! Cute pictures!

  16. 16 song pong

    Oh wow he does look totally different but gorgeous nonetheless!

  17. 17 kbap

    too cute ;)

  18. 18 JoAnne

    They’re adorable together.

    Sung Joon-ah! In any look, there’s not a woman out there who wouldn’t have loved a boyfriend like you back in high school…

  19. 19 Hamster428

    Why are they so darling together?
    Oh and she looks like Fan Bing Bing in that first pic

    • 19.1 momogi

      now that you mention it, I thought the same thing! I can’t figure out whoe she looks like when I fist saw her picture.

  20. 20 mellowyel

    cute!

    random but I’ve been seeing the glasses they’re wearing in almost every new pictorial from the last month. once again I wish I was in Korea so I could buy all the awesome accessories they have over there. *sigh.

    • 20.1 alua

      I call those glasses “Korean glasses”. Seriously, whenever I see someone in London wearing them, I’m like “they are Korean”and 99% of the time they are!

      • 20.1.1 tralala

        Do you know where I could buy those glasses? I love them!!!

        • 20.1.1.1 mellowyel

          The particular brand in this shoot is grafik plastic – https://www.facebook.com/grafikplastic, but that style is very popular right now. I’m sure we can find something similar on a Korean shopping site like yesstyle or something

          • 20.1.1.1.1 Tralala

            Thanks!! <3 you're the best.

  21. 21 Brenda

    What brand of sneakers are those?
    I’ve been seeing them a lot in dramas lately.

  22. 22 jubilantia

    GAAAHHHH they’re adorable. And I love that with their styles they’ve kind of met in the middle of their respective Shut Up extremes.

  23. 23 redfox

    hey I have 5 pairs of pink pants. it is not that weird. wait…. do I actually own more pink pants than Lee Min Ho then???
    But I much prefer the scruffy, wild look on Sung Joon.
    the first, the 4th and the last pictures are sweet the other two dont let them young stars shine enough.

    cant wait till next episode of Shut Up.

  24. 24 Alexis

    AWESOOME PICS!!! :D They really look good together & I am very fascinating with Korean clothes styles.

  25. 25 ishi

    Like javabeans said, although we are used to seeing Su ah in make up being pretty! She’s looking very different here. I prefer her light/ natural makeup to this heavy makeup!!! She’s pretty nonetheless.

    And what can i say about sung joon *sign*. For me he rocks out as the scruffy leader in SUFBB and kicks ass in refined boyish looks aswell!!!

  26. 26 Joy

    they did the unthinkable…make me look forward to mondays!!!!

  27. 27 alua

    Actually I like the way they look in these pics better than they look in the drama!

    Okay, Sung Joon looks equally good in both (like just ‘cool’) but Jo Boa looks much more natural and like a real person here!

    Me like like!

  28. 28 Biscuit

    Anyone thought of T.O.P at the second picture?

    Man, these two look good together. I agree about how I partially want Sung Joon to look cleaned up, until I remember how awesome he’s rocking the rebel look.

    We can just do it the Grease way – instead of the boy going preppy, the girl just gotta go bad ;D

    • 28.1 Biscuit

      New thought: Isn’t his mama wealthy in the drama? He could just do a typical “make-over scene” (for a day – me like rebel) to get at Mr. Strawberry Fields (pft, the name kills me).

      The thing about Eye Candy is that they are a bunch of kids that are, well, rebellious. But they aren’t all poor. And the rich kids all look down on them just on their looks and attitude. I actually hope for the day when Eye Candy walks in looking all dressed up and shut the snotty rich kids up. *I’m looking at you, Deomi*

      • 28.1.1 alua

        <>

        That might actually be interesting and fun…. so as long it’s only for a day coz I like the rebel look that they rock!

      • 28.1.2 JoAnne

        I would definitely support prep for a day! I REALLY REALLY HOPE that he turns out to be even more wealthy than Seung Hoon so that Deo-Mi just gets eaten up with regret for how shallowly she judges people.

        I want him to continue to reject it as something he doesn’t want – the wealth – but I want him to at least have it as something to reject!

  29. 29 redfox

    watching ep 9 now, the prettying up is already happening. well. photo session.

    • 29.1 JoAnne

      just watched it myself, but raw so not really sure what’s being said…however, this episode is FULL of cute.

  30. 30 Abbie

    OMG, they are so adorable! Shut Up! Flower Boy Band is the greatest drama yet this year!

  31. 31 crazedlu

    gah, he looks so GOOD cleaned up! and she’s goorrgeousss.

  32. 32 Cruelsummer

    Can I keep him? Seriously.

    Great pics. He’s beautiful. She’s ok…I guess. *said the hater*

    • 32.1 JoAnne

      *giggling*

  33. 33 LadyIgraine

    they make a cute couple indeed.

    and sung joon is a model, so the guy can rock just about any style in particular. if you’ve watched him on “white christmas,” about 3/4 of the casts are models turned actors/actress, considering their height(a staggering 188cm being the tallest casts member: kim woobin) and how well they dressed in that drama.

    • 33.1 momogi

      yeah sung joon is a model and he totally rocks in every each one of those pictures above, so much, that Jo BoA looks a little dim.
      And you can she her glimpse of nervousness in the first pictures. She looks better in the second picture and quite good in the third and last pictures.

      p.s. I think I’m a bit possessed by Tyra Banks ’cause this few weeks I’ve been watching ANTM.

  34. 34 Maymay

    Ah, they look so adorable together. Good-looking couple. Sung Joon can rock any look. :) But I hope he keeps his scruffy way in the drama. I am loving the rebel leader. Besides, I prefer Su-ah and Ji-hyuk the way they are right now. She is the well-dressed and well-behaved one and he is the rebellious looking one, it is like yin and yang or beauty and the beast. It’s perfect! I hope they never change. :)

  35. 35 starrynighttt

    AHHHH THEY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER!!<3 SUNG JOOON LOOKS SO GOOOD *o*

  36. 36 Serendipity

    Oh! Aren’t the green lace / pink lace shoes in the second picture a tribute to Wild Romance?

  37. 37 Cruelsummer

    So I didn’t really pay attention to Su-Ah, at first (she’s pretty much like furniture to me when Sung Joon is looking this hot), but now that I’ve looked a little closer…does anyone else think that she looks like Lourdes Leon (Madonna’s daughter)? Without make-up not so much, but in these pictures with her face all made up, I’m getting that vibe.

  38. 38 soserious

    “Minus the pink pants, that is; that one comes straight from Lee Min-ho’s personal stash, I’m sure of it.”

    LMFAO.

  39. 39 qwerty8

    Sung Joon is so fine! I still love how he looks in White Christmas the most… or maybe it’s just because I have a thing for guys wearing neat shirt and tie.

  40. 40 kirara

    oH YEAH!! HOt and HOt.. so jealous of her that she gets to be with him.. regardless of whether he looks scruffy or preppy he’s hot either way.. Love the way he’s staring at her too.. super JEALOUS!! :D

  41. 41 Elaine

    Jo Boa seriously reminds me of Sulli.

  42. 42 buttrcup

    Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Sung Joon and Jo Boa are just so good together. He looks so different; I’m so used to his personified look as Ji-Hyuk, but I love it <3

    Hee, the pink pants are quite … interesting though.

  43. 43 rere-chan

    I reeeeaaaaaaaally love this couple! They’re my second most favorite couple after SoEulmate couple (BOF)! Coz they’re from the same age group (87ers) XD

  44. 44 Carinne

    I love all the color warp.

    Sung Joon was handsome in the drama “Lie To Me.” He was not the lead actor, but had a lot of quality acting time with the lead actresses YEH. He did a good job, he seems to be able to recreate himself when he wants to.
