Jung Il-woo trades Iljimae for European vacation

With his drama series Return of Iljimae now finished, actor Jung Il-woo is off to Europe for a long-awaited vacation.

Because Return of Iljimae shot much of its footage prior to airing, this means he has spent the past eight months working exclusively on that drama production. As we know, Jung has immersed himself in his work and shown his dedication to his role, which has no doubt been exhausting.

The day after the final broadcast, April 10, Jung hopped on a plane for London, where he first photographed a photo shoot for a fashion magazine. He then headed to Germany and Spain, and is currently backpacking through Europe on a ten-day solo trip. He has reportedly cut off all contact with his management and friends during his trip to be able to enjoy his personal time freely. As a soccer fan, he also plans to attend a match or two while in England and Spain.

Seriously, this is what all actors should do after a long production. *Is envious!*

Wow, I'm jealous, period. It's nice to hear of one of the stars actually taking care of themselves and having a life and personal time. Good for Jung Il-woo! Now if only I could figure out how to do that myself ^_~

And it figures, when a K-celeb decides to go backpacking in Europe, does he/she choose my country? Of course not. It's always England, France or Germany. Pfft. /end of ranty rant/

I'm glad and relieved he decided to take some time off. He deserves it!

"Lee Minho should take a pointer or two from his bud…and not crank out beer commercials and serve coffee at Dunkin Donuts D:"

Yeah, but I'd imagine their convos are like this:

Jung Il Woo: "I can't wait to go to Paris"
Lee Min Ho: "We shot there."
Jung Il Woo: "Madrid."
Lee Min Ho: "Yup. It didn't make the cut."
Jung Il Woo: "Manchester."
Lee Min Ho: "We even took in a footie match witth United. That didn't make it either."
Jung Il Woo: "Sigh. Is there any place you haven't seen?"
Lee Min Ho: "I haven't seen my bed in 6 months. See my Cass commercial where I put on eyeliner? That wasn't eyeliner. That's how my eyes look now when I don't put on foundation. *clenches Iljimae* Jung Il Woo, take me with you. I need to sleep man!!"

lol @ Belleza XD

After traveling all over for shooting in other countries (and now to Japan) I dont think the exahausted BBOF Cast wouldnt want to go out of country... for a while.
Seems to tiring to get on the plane and traveling.. because when you come back from a vacation, you usually need a vacation from the vacation XD

Yay for jung Il Woo being able to have a vac! He deserves a good rest ^^

Good for him! I wish more actors would follow his lead.. REST IS GOOD FOR YOU, PEOPLE. STUDIES HAVE PROVEN IT.

Does he speak English or any other European language well enough to get by without help? I'm just wondering what would happen if he got lost or sick or something over there and couldn't get ahold of anyone.. ^^;

I have the same thoughts and sentiments as # 2 Jae young and #5 deeta..

I always wanted to go on a solo trip, backpacking through Europe would be the best. Its god to know that people ACTUALLY go on solo trips and backpacking and stuff. makes me want to believe that it can happen to me too.

I would ust need one thing, COURAGE.

I hope Jung Il Woo can speak english or french well, since backpacking through europe would require interaction with the locals!

Good for him! It's a recommended experience for someone his age. Glad to see him taking time for himself. Good thinking, Jung Il Woo!

@ Kender - if he needs any help, I'd be happy to hop on a plane in a jiffy. ;)

Good on you Jung Il Woo, you deserve a rest!

Although am a bit miffed that he came to London and I didn't know...not that I would have stalked him or anything...*starts to whistle nonchalantly*

But I am with the rest of you about wanting a back-packing holiday, although I have done the Europe thing so my destination would probably be Asia or South America...?

Now if only, I had some money or time...

smart guy! i wish other guys in the industry would follow his example- take a nice vacation and come back refreshed. This is a good example of a guy who does acting for the acting and not the fame. He doesn't see the need to milk anything.

I can't believe he's coming to London when I'm on uni hols. Unfortunately I probably won't see him but I can confide in the fact that we're in the same city.

He definitely deserves the rest. Other actors *cough BOFcastcough* need to follow his lead and learn to relax and stop overworking themselves to death. As much as I love their hard work and dedication they really need to rest
