Jung Kyeo-woon for Cosmopolitan
by | March 8, 2012 | 108 Comments

Could a grown man be any cuter? What’s with the random outburst of cuteness, Jung Kyeo-woon? Just trying to mess up my day, is what. It’s fine. Just go about your business and make silly poses with your delicious bedhead and your dorky glasses and your array of strange pants. It’s not like I have THINGS TO DO.

Jung Kyeo-woon’s been enjoying a late-ish career boon in the last two years after spending a long time playing forgettable side characters in unsuccessful to middling dramas. But in four shows (A Million Times I Love You, Dr. Champ, Sign, Romance Town) he’s worked his way up to headliner, and boy does it suit him well. I especially love his wannabe-Bond character in his current drama, History of the Salaryman. Nothing better than a spazz who wishes he were cool. You know what they say: takes a real man to make fun of himself.

    Cue: HOTsm fans (and Jung Kyeo-woon fans… heck fans of cuteness) squealing, drooling and fainting from delight.

    • 1.1 M.D.

      Never seen a drama of his. YET! This picture-flow just helped me to make up my mind. He’s too hot to be cute and too cute to be just hot. And he looks like a MAN for a change. A cute, got, Man, not boy-ish like the most. That’s a nice change.

      • 1.1.1 M.D.

        *hot, not got! I just lost my head! Pic-storm effect

      • 1.1.2 NewKDramaAddict

        Then you GOT to see History of a Salaryman! Talk about hotness?!!

    • 1.2 River

      Who needs clothes when you’ve got a body like his?

  2. Minnetter (aka: Min)

    awesome! the last pic is my fave^^

    • 2.1 nuri

      me too. how he can manage to look cute in that pose?

      • 2.1.1 Jo

        Everything is so right with all the photos. They all look very in character. Every little detail…the position of his foot etc. Sometimes when actors do photo shoots its obvious that they are novices (at doing quality photo shoots) because although their faces are in character, their whole body is not in harmony. Here, he is just splendid, expressive! Although…the photographer….

    • 2.2 momogi

      second that! Everything just perfect, I love the water’s spray.

      • 2.2.1 Denali

        Nice promotion for the “San Pellegrino” water brand. o/

  3. obivia

    Damn! So freaking charming and dapper. These are really great photos of my honey. (looking around for those who may have staked their claim on JKW)

    • 3.1 himonogirl

      *pokes shoulder*
      Hello there, darling.

  4. LK

    Adorable! I honestly don’t quite like him in a cold city man / chaebol role (like in Romance Town and History Of The Salaryman) but he is still able to bring a unique character to those roles so I applaud him for that. I absolutely adore him in Sign though! He was brilliant in that drama!

  5. Mystisith

    Great and funny pics. My fav is the first : Just a little boy who needs help with his clothes. But the problem is i’d rather undress him…

  6. hpn88

    I luv him so much. I actually love hang-woo in salaryman. JKW has done such a great job with that character and now to see him totally geeked out. be still me heart

  7. Mara

    ahhh what a hottie/cutie.

  8. Gdrocks

    Oh man I was sleepy when I saw this but now I’m fully awake. LOL. He is so adorkable. haha

  9. jandoe

    so cute!

  10. 10 canxi

    Awww, I didn’t get into Romance Town at all but he is cute fo’ sho!

  11. 11 lala

    grrr grrrr..
    Priceless expression…
    kyeopta

  12. 12 noernov

    He’s just adorable…u can be my pet LOL ;)

  13. 13 topper

    These pictures suit his charisma a lot. He was a riot when he appeared on Strong Heart, definitely not afraid to make fun of himself.

  14. 14 ck1Oz

    I really really like the one where he is wearing the glasses :-) How cute.

    By the way, I really don’t think anyone has ‘claimed’ him have they? No am not interested but just noticing that’s all.

    • 14.1 kaedejun

      YES – HE’S MY BOYFRIEND. BACK OFF

      • 14.1.1 Nida

        oh, there you are!!!! we had fun with him while you were away…muahahaha

      • 14.1.2 mrskimchee

        kaedejun..
        So.. can I have PSHhhhhh all to my self now??? ^ ^

        • 14.1.2.1 Mary

          Heehee. That’s right. Kaedejun can’t always be defending all the forts!

          • 14.1.2.1.1 himonogirl

            hahaha, INDEED!
            And he looks fine enough to entertain us all!

          • 14.1.2.1.2 kaedejun

            PFFFT THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK.

      • 14.1.3 ck1Oz

        Oops. Okay. Was wondering why no one was calling dibs.

        I will be one of those who have watched all his dramas but only calling dibs on Micky and Wookie. Those 2 keep me plenty occupied with so much competition :-)

        Your man is looking mighty fine there o__o

  15. 15 kbap

    Aigoo~ I just want to pinch his cheeks despite me being the one to say “opppaaaaaa” if we were going to be picky about age. But really a few of these I cracked up. Oh man…never knew he could be so cute. :) (please save Woo-hee! *last desperate plead before waiting for Monday)

  16. 16 MissMantin

    Oh my goodness – SO. CUTE.

    I loved Jung before, but now I might turn into a giggly fangirl. Most guys who do spreads like this either try to stay cool or go for super cute, but it seems like he’s just sayin’, “Yeah, I’m a dork and I like it that way.” Heh. It’s especially funny ’cause he’s such a big guy.

    Thanks for posting this, girlfriday!

    • 16.1 ~Feather~

      exactly what i was thinking.
      I prefer he take the dorky way instead of the cool/sexy photo shoots other guys usually take, cuz he is still sexy and cool while looking like a goof. XD

      Aww, these pics bring the mother/older sister out of me (even though i am a lot younger than him!) They’re just too cute! I adore him in every single one! :3

  17. 17 Nida

    So much fun!!!

  18. 18 mellowyel

    a-dorable. the one with the trenchcoat is my fave

  19. 19 cingdoc

    LOVE him since Dr champ…that bromance…*sigh* you’re almost as cute as my Yoo…maybe in a few more years

  20. 20 Christy

    he’s sooo cute! I’m also looking forward to yoo bang’s photo spread in cosmo if there is any. ;)

  21. 21 Laica

    Um… I don’t usually do this but… MINE!

    *runs away*

  22. 22 Nicole

    I remember his character in Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy was hilarious. Tiny part but good laughs.

    This is an awesome photoshoot. Love the personality in all of the shots! For some reason, the last one reminds me of Yoon Kye Sang.

    • 22.1 nobodyimportant

      wait.he’s in Biscuit Teacher Star Candy? gah i freakin love that drama but couldn’t remember his character….wait..is he one of Gong Yoo’s friend…..the one who think all girls are crushing on him? or someone else?

      • 22.1.1 Nida

        That’s the one!!!

        • 22.1.1.1 KDrama Fan

          Will have to revisit for a look! Thanks for the heads up Nida!

        • 22.1.1.2 Verónica

          I think he’s the one who has the brain tumor thing, the one that never speaks and lives with a cat, hah. But on Biscuit Teacher he looked so small and insignificant. Now he’s the redefinition of hotness, daaaaamn!!!!! :D

    • 22.2 Cruelsummer

      Ack…I didn’t realize that was him. So cute!

      • 22.2.1 gingeranna

        Me neither!!! He was so cool!! XD

  23. 23 JoAnne

    How funny – just randomly tonight I started Loving You A Thousand Times – and this guy just made his appearance about 5 minutes ago. I honestly didn’t connect him with HOTS but I did think he looked familiar…cuteness galore in these pictures, too!

    I definitely love a guy who can rock the dork look so well :)

  24. 24 Denali

    Wonder where Kaedejun is for not having claimed JKW as hers here too yet. ^^

    • 24.1 Nida

      I was wondering about that too! They needs to know that their man is being shared by far more women that they would like

  25. 25 Noelle

    Not gonna lie, this is the first time I’ve ever found him cute or good looking at all.

  26. 26 kaedejun

    @Denali –

    I’m here!!!! My boyfriend is so cute – I’ve already announced him as such to the real world.

    Just to clarify, Park Shi Hoo is my husband. I’m entitled to have both because this is a drama world we live in.

    • 26.1 Mary

      If we’re in kdramaland, them boys are probably having awesome bromance moments when you’re not looking.

    • 26.2 mrskimchee

      hahaha….
      so PSH is my boyfriend and JKW is my husband….thanks for clarifying…wish i can see both in same drama for some tasty abs-romance

    • 26.3 endodo4ever

      Waitaminute, he’s not just yours. HE’S MINE TOO. Or have you forgotten?

      Proof: http://endodo4ever.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/a-truce-for-jung-kyeo-woon/

      Rematch in the unforseen future? Very possible.

      • 26.3.1 kaedejun

        @ endodo4ever – I’ve conveniently forgotten. It’s on like donkey kong.

        @ Mary – if that were true, I think it would make my household much more peaceful. I can have them both in my mansion and spend time with them equally. I’ll invite Kim So Yeon over too for play dates.

        • 26.3.1.1 endodo4ever

          Some friend you are. Hmph! ;P Jk. Let’s not fight over a boy, shall we?

          But if we must fight, let’s have a meal first!

      • 26.3.2 mrskimchee

        LOL…thanks for reminding me…I read many posts about you guys fighting over him at kaedejun blog..it’s my first time found out that I’m not a weirdo for liking 2 same men at same time, where most of my girlfriends here laughing at my taste…too bad for them I could have them both just to myself down under…luv ya galssss ^^

  27. 27 Noemi

    After having only seen him in HOTS, it’s kind of strange not to see him without those oddly colored fuschia lips :D

  28. 28 Jacky

    His character in Dr. Champ was telling the truth when he said that he was a bolmae. Looking better and better every time that I see him.

    In love with the 7th picture, look at that facial expression, he looks like a cute little kid.

  29. 29 Jacek

    SO CHARMING!

  30. 30 mariolawpanda

    Its illegal to be as buff like that and be as cute as him. Die.

  31. 31 Nokcha

    A bottle of red, ramen, and thou…..

    • 31.1 Nida

      Amen!

  32. 32 Cassandra

    a-freaking-dorable!

  33. 33 Webfoot

    Too many clothes.

    • 33.1 Rovi

      Omo, I LOL’ed at that.

      Otherwise, I agree with you. XD
      Too many clothes. Need more skin (and muscle).

      • 33.1.1 Webfoot

        Word.

    • 33.2 blondbs

      I have been slow in appreciating JKW for his acting talents but am now soundly in his corner. AND, yes, OFF WITH HIS CLOTHES! ha. I love that he is not a thin, sort of metro-sexual looking person… gotta have some meat on a man, and oh my stars, he has it! Wonder where I can buy a drool cup?

  34. 34 alua

    This is definitely one of the better photo shoots in recent times!

    I don’t know what he’s like in real life, if the concept for the photo shoot had anything to do with that, but these pics give me the vibe of someone who’d be endlessly entertaining and a total hoot if you spent a few hours with him!

  35. 35 Sejong

    Cute!!!

  36. 36 Keylye

    How can he be so adorable?! I LOVE this photoshoot.

  37. 37 KDrama Fan

    Heya GF and fellow Beaners!

    I am a HUGE fan of Jung Kyeo-woon but I think the look they’re going for here would better suit Daniel Choi.

    I personally like Jung Kyeo-woon in sports outfits and suits and 1/2 naked:)

    Is it just me?

    • 37.1 Denali

      Nope. Got the Choi Daniel vibe with the 3rd pic as well. ;-)

  38. 38 Banu

    OMO.. loved it also he could be brother of Mblaq’s Lee Joon..XD

  39. 39 yume

    kawaii!

  40. 40 tiffany

    omo.. isnt he just a bundle of cuteness @.@ :D

  41. 41 b1

    okay.. inhale — exhale ..

    **Dead***

    How could he look damn so HOT in those cutesy pics ..

    those pics just — aaaggghh .. i wanna have the other half of that noodle stuck in his mouth — and agggh — aghh .. ta ..da!!

    gasps!

  42. 42 pinkpia

    i just love him for no reason, who does need a stupid reason. These pics just made my day i can’t help but smile all the time now :) in one of the pics he looks like he really needs to go pee while trying to act all cool hehe now that’s a favorite of mine although all of the pics are just as funny and cute!

  43. 43 djinni

    the glasses and trench… i died. im a goner for an adorkable guy.

  44. 44 jojo

    Is there something wrong with me? He just doesn’t turn me on…

  45. 45 K

    So silly and cute! I love how his looks are contrary to what these photos is trying to say. And he really pulled it off.

    • 45.1 K

      Oh, and girlfriday, did you intentionally arrange the photos this way? It’s as if the sequence tells a story! “A Day in the Life of JKW”. So. Cute.

      • 45.1.1 Mystisith

        Oh, you’re right about the storytelling! I didn’t notice at first. :)

  46. 46 Dramalover

    Aw I love him in Dr champ and Salaryman!!! Finally a manly man!!!

  47. 47 Fräulein

    Sorry girls i already claimed him in 2007 when I saw him in A Happy Woman. He broke my heart in that drama…..

  48. 48 Venus

    DAMN!!!!! those armssss!!!! please HUG ME!! **drools** He looks amazing and Hot as Hell…

  49. 49 blondbs

    Time for Dramabeans to start a new promotion- contact one lovely K-drama actor, get him to agree to come to the United States, and have “My Korean Boyfriend For a Day” – one of us lucky winners will PAY FOR HIS FLIGHT (yeah, I’d do it), and have the actor stay in her home, feed him, clothe him (well, that might be a bit much- no?) and show him the sights – of the city, I mean…. Though of course, by “For a Day” I mean For a WEEK… and then he will fall in love with me (I mean, one of us) and want to stay. No, I am not on anything. And yes, girlfriday, we can start right here with “our” boyfriend!

  50. 50 Nheony

    I especially love the one with the dorky glasses… oh and the one with him drinking espresso. Wait maybe the one in orange knit sweater or the one where he’s eating noodles. FINE I LOVE THEM ALL!! So much cuteness I can’t concentrate. Gaaahh!!!
