Gong Yoo, tatted up in black and white
by | April 25, 2012 | 176 Comments

*THUNK*

Mother. Of all. That is holy.

Is it my birthday? ‘Cause it sure feels like it is. Apparently Gong Yoo did a photo shoot in Japan a few months ago that involved some fun with fake tattoos. “I’m big enough”? Well, if you say so. You certainly aren’t shy, that’s for sure.

It’s possible this didn’t happen, in which case you can ignore this figment of my imagination. But I’m pretty sure I’m awake. Pretty sure. I think.

    first! and wow he better have some shower scenes in Big!

    • 1.1 Amanda

      You know what Freud said…sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. In this case, however, I suspect the cigar may be standing in for something else that’s big enough :x

      • 1.1.1 Mashimomo

        I like how you think :D is there a way to save this bad boy to my phone I wonder?

        • 1.1.1.1 momosan

          if you are using Firefox on an Android phone, you just have to press on the photo and the option to save should appear. ahem…not that I tested that or anything. if you want to use it as wallpaper, you have to put it in the correct folder, which varies slightly from phone to phone and choose it from the settings… I may have tested that for research purposes.

          • 1.1.1.1.1 Mashimomo

            I forgot to mention that I have an iPhone but I’ll definitely see what I can do over here. You know,as you said, for research purposes :D I love that you have different folders for you, uhm, research. Thanks so much!

          • 1.1.1.1.3 iZzie :)

            @Mashimomo: it’s similar to what momosan said:

            1. press on the photo – using Safari for the iPhone
            2. an options menu will slide up; press on “Save Image”

            if you want it as wallpaper…
            3. go to Photos; look for the pic in the Camera Roll
            4. click on the options icon – lower left corner of the screen; the options will pop up
            5. press on “Use as Wallpaper”

          • 1.1.1.1.4 cingdoc

            @momosan *sniff* I thot we were friends……*why didn’t let me know about this post ??????
            (back to dling ALL these YUMMY pix)

          • 1.1.1.1.5 Mashimomo

            Mission accomplished! My work day just officially now went down the drain, I could stare at this all day everyday *sigh*
            …. Still contemplating if I should replace my phone wall pic of me and my 2yo DS with all of GY’s glory. That would probably make me the worst mom/wife EVER.

          • 1.1.1.1.6 Joy

            Thanks for the info., momosan. I now have Ha Ji Won on my iphone as wall paper and home screen. Yey! \m/

          • 1.1.1.1.7 Beekinga

            Thanks a bunch…one learns stuff daily. Now I do have a big enough wallpaper…hehe

        • 1.1.1.2 Moozy

          Yup. Am saving dis one in my phone!! ^^

      • 1.1.2 Mira

        What’s with Korean stars promoting smoking in publications?

        • 1.1.2.1 Jo

          maybe they aren’t promoting it but they actually smoke in real life…Gong Yoo does. Doesn’t make him any less of a human being though.

          • 1.1.2.1.1 ivyblanc

            What!!! Gong Yoo smokes!!! oh oh…what a disappointment….it is so hard for me to associate gorgeously handsome, clean cut, health buff, great physique hunk Gong Yoo with cigarette and smoking!!! Hey dude….smoking kills….please don’t do it.

    • 1.2 iZzie :)

      shower scenes.

      good idea! and since I hate cigars…

      I’d GLADLY put out that cigar by shooting him with a water gun. ;) All day. ^_^ Any day.

  2. chewie

    the cigar’s unnecessary /:

    • 2.1 Quinze

      Not to take away from this beauty of a photo set but I agree. It’s kind of a turn off when I see a cigar/cigarette…

      • 2.1.1 Jess

        But from a photography point of view, the wisps of smoke looks awesome in such nittygritty B&W shots, especially the last shot.

        • 2.1.1.1 kopytko

          Then they should use dry ice!

          • 2.1.1.1.1 PL

            I hope that was sarcastic.

          • 2.1.1.1.2 kopytko

            It wasn’t. I hate tobacco smoke. I really do. So I came up with an alternative :)

          • 2.1.1.1.3 shel

            Im with you on that one, the cigar kills it for me. Especially since, to me, cigar smoke is the most obnoxious. My grandpa smoked a pipe…so I kind of have a nostalgia thing for the smell of pipe tobacco. But lung cancer killed him and my non-smoking grandmother. To me, smoking doesn’t make someone look “cool”, it makes someone look like they don’t have a brain. Grandpa’s generation didn’t know about the harmful effects, but we do.

        • 2.1.1.2 gingeranna

          I hate smoke too but I love the cigar in these photos.
          Even if I noticed it like after drooling for 10 minutes on Gong Yoo.
          But really, what is that with all this hate towards smoking? I know it’s bad and all, but people smoke nonetheless. If you want to see someone smoking seriously you have to watch an 80es movie, after the early 90es no one dared to smoke in a movie. o_O that’s pretty strange.

          DB, why don’t you say “God bless militar service”? I kinda wanted to read it.

          • 2.1.1.2.1 kopytko

            About smoking: It doesn’t look nice. Just that. Ok, maybe in 10% of pictures it looks fine, gives a badboy aura, etc., but here it is just ugly.

      • 2.1.2 KDrama Fan

        Oh baby! GF thanks for sharing the photo:)

        Agree with you Chewie. The cigar detracts from the whole look. Also wish the tattoo said something else.
        Less is more-they had it right with the trackies worn low on the hip.

    • 2.2 Taber

      Its not real smoke, so just enjoy the concept if you are old enough to understand what the tattoo is saying and what the cigarette is implying.

      • 2.2.1 lee

        i agree with Taber here. the cigar is definitely substituting for something here.

        he looks so super skinny in the profile shot.

      • 2.2.2 iZzie :)

        first pic: why does it look like there’s smoke rising from behind him? hot much? A$$ on fire? ;)

      • 2.2.3 chewie

        i mean i understand the artistic sense behind the tattoo and cigarette, it’s just that cigarettes are constantly used with pictures and society, i guess, have connected the image of smoking as something that’s cool. but i still appreciate the concept meaning behind the props in the photo

  3. Kairi

    Haha! I hope we get ample opportunity to fangirl when Big airs as well ;P

  4. Ariel

    Right, right the opening scene should be a shower scene its required.
    I’m big enough he he he

    • 4.1 sleeplessinwgtn

      Just like the 3rd scene (I think) in Coffee Prince, when he’s taking a shower :)

      • 4.1.1 Rovi

        Oh god, that shower scene, and I’m such a perv at peeking at those creamy yummy thighs for something more, when he was sitting at the couuch so provocatively at us viewers, it’s like fanservice heaven before SuJu entirely perfected it…

        • 4.1.1.1 jomo

          I believe I know what killed me dead in CP.

          It was Gong Yu
          on the couch
          in a towel
          with his body

          I gulp right along with YEH every time I rewatch that scene.

        • 4.1.1.2 jossy

          Must admit, I’m not a fan of Suju’s fanservice. It has the opposite effect unfortunately, not that I have anything against it, its just not my thing.
          and finally, I wanted my lips on siwons not heechuls ;( lmao

  5. jyyjc

    Before I read anything and only looked at the pic, I thought the tattoo read “I’m big enormous”.

    • 5.1 iZzie :)

      huge, large… and it goes on down to the big toe. it was about the toe, actually, not the – uh, cigar.

  6. chewie

    wonder who put the tattoo on him

    • 6.1 MsB

      Wish I could have! Whoever did is still trying to recover *drooool*

    • 6.2 Aya

      girlfriday?

    • 6.3 Cruelsummer

      Photographer: “Excuse me, Cruel. But I believe it’s unnecessary to apply the tattoo with your tongue.”

      Cruelsummer: *wipes away trail of drool*

      • 6.3.1 come2noona

        Pwahahahaha!

      • 6.3.2 Shukmeister

        Cruel! Ha Ha Ha

        You lucky girl…

    • 6.4 iZzie :)

      looks like they covered the rest of “enough” because it got illegible at “ugh.”

      if I were the tattoo artist, I’d be incoherent at “big.”

  7. Nadia

    Too much photoshopped.

  8. djes

    oh Gong Yoo, of course I believe you! If not, it doesn’t really matter. Really.

  9. Val

    To unconsciously reach out for the screen……..

  10. 10 DMKO

    I want to touch!

    thank you gf!

  11. 11 ck1Oz

    I am big enough. Looping down the hip.

    The cigar will close my eyes to cigarette smoking actors with that shape.

    WHAT? The article / photos just screams NC 19 thoughts.

  12. 12 MsScorpion

    I know I should work.
    My boss just gave me a bunch on stuff to do.
    I have to do them.

    ……….But just can’t stop looking at the pretty. OH GONG YOO.
    JUNE IS TOO FAR AWAY

  13. 13 belleza

    Are you big enough, Gong Yoo? Well show us the money!! :D

    • 13.1 Shiku

      I second this!!!

  14. 14 b1

    I . JUST . DIED .

  15. 15 SweetiePie54

    I believe there are certain men who should walk around shirtless…I am adding him to the list. GOOD GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Also, random side note, when I saw these pics on a different site I wondered if you would post them. :)

  16. 16 Stephanie

    Oh my. I think something died in me when I saw this AND THE TATTOO. Is it my feminist pride? Yknow the one that believes she’s independent of men?

  17. 17 Jo

    And I fell in lust again.

  18. 18 Angela

    OMG BUT TODAY’S MY BIRTHDAY. LITERALLY. IM SERIOUS. BEST. BDAY. PRESENT. EVER. OMG. /dead

    • 18.1 MsScorpion

      Happy Birthday.

      Now I hope my birthday will get me a similar present, but asking for another shirtless Gong Yoo would be too much, right?

      Maybe one of Kang Ji Hwan?
      *Crosses fingers*

      • 18.1.1 DMKO

        Be careful what you wish for, you just might get a picture of Kang Ji Hwan as Detective Cha (before the transformation)!Keke

    • 18.2 NewKDramaAddict

      What a wonderful present! Mine is the return of Lee Jun Ki to drama in July so I know how you’re feeling! :-D

    • 18.3 Cruelsummer

      Happy Birthday! And yes…you totally win today :)

  19. 19 all4movies

    “I’m big enough” If he’s talking about what I think he is, I sure don’t see any telltale bulges anywhere to suggest he can live up to that one.

    sigh, why do men always think bigger is better?

    • 19.1 tinyviolin

      “big enough” is different from “biggest EVAR” ~ as in, he can get the job done, don’t worry; he’s big enough. It doesn’t mean large or huge just, he can work well with what he’s got.

      I kinda see this as the answer to men (and women) always thinking “bigger is better”. It’s smart.

      Oh gosh, I haven’t felt so fangirly in a while. *blush*

  20. 20 Enz

    thank you thank you.. But I want him to be still slightly bigger : p I mean the bulk of him. Oh gosh.. You all know what I mean

  21. 21 sueteller

    I’ll come back when I’ve regained my powers of speech and collected my jaw from the floor.

  22. 22 tinyviolin

    oh my god.

    He’s apparently smart and *definitely* sexy, and has an adorable smile, and is a great actor. I thought this combo was combustible.

    I’m…going for a walk.

    *yearns*

  23. 23 Christy

    OMG. *Fans self* Is it hot in here or what??!!

  24. 24 Elle

  25. 25 kopytko

    Very nice pictures. But there is one dicrepancy – the cigar doesn’t go with sweatpants (As you smoke cigar wearing fine suits) . So: Off with the cigar or…

    • 25.1 kopytko

      *discrepancy

    • 25.2 Ktb

      Lol. Like. Well, if it comes down to that, I vote the cigar stays……

      • 25.2.1 Cruelsummer

        Haha…nice :)

    • 25.3 iZzie :)

      if it’s cigar/pants or nothing… I vote “nothing.”

  26. 26 Arhazivory

    Ok…that tattoo only inspires evil for women worldwide.

  27. 27 Koreandramasrock

    HOTNESS!! It would be HOTTER if there was no cigar..

    Gong yoo :D
    What a sight;). This put a big grin onn my face today considering the weather’s wrecking havoc today. I can’t wait to see more of him in his upcoming drama. I’m dying to see him back in action :)

  35. 35 Ishi

    Btw for a minute I actually thought he was cheeky enough to get ‘I’m big enough’ tatooed on him. Got a few laughs out of it :D
    And if you look at this picture with his perfect hot bod and the cigar it actually goes quiet well with the vibe its sending .

  36. 36 all for bromance

    someone please…half naked photoshoot of him and his bestie…jo in sung…together…*begging*

    I think he’s talking about his HEART here….he has a big enough HEART to love everyone on Planet Earth.

      Ummm, yeah, YY.

      ‘Heart’…that’s just what we were all thinking….. NOT.

      [Your snarkiness does not go unappreciated. :) )

      I’m gonna go and take another look at his ‘heart’……

      • 41.1.1 Cynthia

        Oh, and somebody needs to go and poke GF and see if she’s conscious. This might have been too much Gong Yoo for her delicate sensibilities (especially seeing how she included that tattoo inset close-up)…
        :)
