Jung Il-woo in London in April

After Return of Iljimae actor Jung Il-woo wrapped his series in early April, he headed to Europe for a solo vacation. He started off in England, where he shot some photos for Elle Magazine (pics below), then set off through the Continent, some photos of which he posted on his mini-homepage (also below).

Now the actor is back at home, has shorn his Iljimae hair short, and is planning his next official activity in the form of Japanese fanmeeting. I wouldn’t think Jung has a very high profile in Japan — his previous projects weren’t really export pieces, like the family sitcom Unstoppable High Kick — but Return of Iljimae is currently broadcasting in Japan, where it was pre-sold even before its Korean premiere.

The event will be held on June 20 in Tokyo.

The Europe photos were all taken in mid-late April; this shot below is the most recent and shows his shorter hair; it was taken at a May 16 blood drive at Hanyang University.

Here are the London-shot photos from Elle magazine:

But here are more candid shots, also in London:

And a few in Barcelona:

When I watched the return of iljimae, I thought I was looking at a younger version of Leon Lai (HK singer). The first picture reminds me of Alex Fong (A swimmer turned singer/entertainer HK).

Anyway, I must try to restart return of iljimae again... I watched 4 esp and got bored...so stopped... the first iljimae was just so lively with Lee Jun Ki in comparison.

yeah. His sizzling hot. LOL. I love his hair. He looks gorgeous on them. I like him. But Joo Ji Hoon is better than him. No offense. But JJH was just in a waste. He devastated his own career.
