Yeo Jin-gu’s photo shoot for L’Officiel Hommes

Every time Yeo Jin-gu (Hwa-yi, Potato Star 2013QR3) shows up in a fashion spread, my reaction undergoes the exact same thought process and trajectory: Yes, he is STILL only 16 years old. Yes I checked, as I do every time, but somehow time moves so slowly. And yes, it’s a bit unreal how grown-up he looks (not to mention sounds, what with the leading-man baritone voice).

I can’t help it; it’s the same reaction no matter what the scenario. Only time will solve this, but gahhh I’m just so terrible at waiting. Until then… sorry to tease you with things you can’t have? (Sorrynotsorry.) Enjoy anyway.

Yeo Jin-gu recently won the New Actor award at the Blue Dragon Awards for his role in Hwa-yi. He’s currently starring in tvN’s sitcom Potato Star 2013QR3, which airs Monday through Thursday nights. This photo shoot and accompanying interview are in the December issue of L’Officiel Hommes.

He should be banned from public appearances until he's 18 so I don't feel like a dirty old lady.

GENIUS idea! Might as well right? Since we have to suffer his absence, might as well be now. It's legal in Singapore to serve at 16 but I guess that means more years of reservice sessions and guys wouldn't like that.

Well, many reviews say it's good. I saw a clip of him kissing though. He's really good. He would other male actors a run for their money, well except Gong Yoo. He's at par with Gong Yoo with the way he kisses. He's so dreamy. Plus, the clip I saw had a scoring of "First Last Kiss", so it made it better!

I really like potato star. So far it's been entertaining with great characters and a really funny cameo by Lee Jong Suk doing an "I can hear your voice" parody in ep 15.

Technically this isn't part of the High Kick series, but it's definitely got the HK vibe (Star Potato, Star Potahto). It always takes me a few episodes to get into a HK series, but once I get attached to the characters, it's a rewarding ride full of quirky humor and lots of heart. (If you're gonna give it a shot, give it several episodes.) I'm really enjoying it.

YGJ is playing an older (early twenties) character in this-- that's not helping!! His deep voice makes me all discombobulated.

same director for both High Kick and Potato Star! that's why it's so similar. also why Lee Jong Suk made a cameo

#1 it should be illegal for him to kiss like that! I mean it's illegal for me to lust after him, and he should help by NOT kissing like that until he is 18. Hell I wish I was only 1or2 year older than him, but noooo I have to be 9 years older than him!

That's Yeon-Soo Ha! Wasn't her 1st kiss Jun-Hyung Yong of B2ST in Monstar? Wow. She kissed Jin-Goo something fierce. Jun-Hyung has to be sad. There's no hesitation on her part and, if I slow it down I think Jin-Goo opens his mouth. Omo! Seriously. Every Korean actress (and even some foreign) will fight to get to play opposite him.

I first noticed him in Missing You. Then when all the kids were getting their awards --I mean So-Hyun is awesome as well -- I found myself paying attention to him. I don't think there's a thing I've seen him in that I didn't like immensely. Not just like, but with him in it whatever show, it made it just that much better. He's not just a pretty face. His acting is superb.

I am LOVING potato star, not just the main characters but all the side characters too. While there is a lot of quirky and occasionally wacky characters, they are still very realistically drawn and folks in this drama at least talk to each other like folks in real life would!

Comsidering its 4 episodes per week and theyare into their 28 or 29th episode now, the quality of the script and production has yet to suffer. Check it out!

But, but, but... it has 120 episodes. I can't make a commitment to a 50 ep drama after a few bad experiences, so 120 is pushing it. We are talking a commitment of almost 8 months.

Okay, I'll check it out. And it better be good or I'm virtually coming after you. >_<

Just do what I do, skip around on the episodes. Since each epi is only 30 minutes, things move extremelyyyy slowwww (120 epi..). So it's not like you're going to miss out on things if, say…you skip from epi 4 all the way to 9 (since you HAVE to see the kiss)…etc.

@ Enz - I know right, watch because of Ms big hair from monstar & the bonus are Mr asst. manga artist from Flower Boy Next Door and Yeo Jin Gu. Sorry, really bad at names, drama names are as much I can remember but those are also long shot. I do however, remember Yong Jung Hyun though, hehe..

Awww junhyung, my lovvvveeee. Yes to ha yeon soo, go kyung pyo and yeo jin gu. Momosa you have to start learning these names as a defense against dementia later!

Aw, it's little Kang-mo from Giant. Only he's not so little anymore....but still too young!! I can't believe he's only sixteen years old from these photos. Very cute though. I'll happily be a noona looking after this dongsaeng. No romantic vibes yet, hehe.

You aren't the only one! Honestly, I'm relieved I'm not attracted to the jailbait. I still find he looks like a kid playing grownup, so I think I've got a few years before I falter.

Oh, me too, which is very relieving because I'm already having issues with Yoo Seung-ho (at least he's in his 20's now though). I love watching Yeo Jin-gu act though. So awesome! Can't wait to see his future projects!

I really like watching him with his female costars, but it's kind of an 'aww, he's perfect with my little sister' kind of feeling. Like him and Kim So-hyun/Kim Yoo-jung.

Same here but it's probably because I'm not into pretty boys and he clearly looks like a teenager while I'm almost 30 LOL. He's a beautiful kid though, that's undeniable.

reply

Required fields are marked *

He is very pretty and he's tall and has the manly voice, but... he still looks like a teenager to me. Or it could be that I'm used to 20-somethings playing 16 on TV (*cough*Heirs*cough*), and so he looks like every other teen-not-teen in dramaland.

reply

Required fields are marked *

Yeah..its not hard for me to see the teenager in him either despite the manliness and that wonderful voice..... Personally don't want him to take up very many leading man roles just yet.... Not Cuz he doesn't have what it takes because he does but I want him to sort of naturally transition into those roles as he grows... which I think was the issue with Yoo seung Ho for some of his recent roles, for me

Yea he still has a boyish look, I don't feel that much manliness emanating from him yet lol. But I'm sure he will grow up to be a major heartthrob someday (if he's not one already for some).

LOL the day fangirls would start calling him oppa is the day I'd know I'm old! I've never been older than anyone I've liked. Ever. I find his really cute in a kid kinda way. He's definitely a lot more mature and manly looking compared to his age but I wasn't ever attracted to him. I think it's because I know he's still a minor. Maybe in a few years I'd see the hotness too; till then everyone can feel dirty for me instead lol.
