Inspired by the new show Shogun, Wired has done an article recommending similar shows, one of which was My Country. It's funny that the synopsis of the show focuses on BW, as if he was the main character. Also, love that they used JH's pic as the main pic- JH is just that striking in that role! https://www.wired.it/gallery/shogun-disney-plus-serie-simili-titoli/?fbclid=PAAaZe77ReK7_PBk72MElbipVsDHgBrGI-pIU1kpDNPQSq1hNsGF-Ifmefoc8

Did they say anything wrong in the clip? I hope KJK will do a video on this entire event Hopefully, this is why JH deleted the video
-
It's funny how my feelings about CTH and KJK changed after Mongolia... Now, I adore them for how they support JH! And JH in the fight- so aggressive, and smart! Looks good!
-
Looks like he won, after all
-
Obviously we're joking! JH has been training for months for this, and we know how seriously he treats boxing. I guess the whole point of the test is to make sure that whoever takes it is good enough to become pro, and there is no doubt in my mind JH is good enough
-
Looks fixed to me Pink JH... 😁
-
I was so surprised to see the pictures! He's moving full steam ahead!! The football blub behind them might be connected to his son? His family is in Canada, right? So maybe the people in the pic are friends from Canada that came with him family to LA?
-
Essentially, it's a test for him to qualify to be defined as a professional boxer, right?
-
Considering how we know that he will practice his Korean when he's about to do TV promos, I bet he also preprepared his answers here and probably practiced them before the interview. His tenacity knows no bounds!
-
In that case, this is very strange, cause in the gym video his English wasn't much better than what we heard before he started learning...
-
knowing him, he always takes the long way there, but when he reaches his destination- he always accomplishes what he set out to achieve! only differently 😁 It will be interesting to see the change between his English in the recent KJK gym vid, and this interview
-
Every time I read his words, I'm amazed at how insightful and inteligent he is! And he said this in ENGLISH!! I'm beyond shocked! This is a big leap in terms of vocabulary! I guess you are right... I just want him to be acknowledged for his own uniqueness!
-
Am I the only one not liking JH being called "The Korean Bruce Lee" or "the Korean Tom Cruise"? I'd rather he'd just be introduced as "The Korean Jang Hyuk" and that's it. I want him to be his own self, and not be compared or defined by someone else... These comparisons reduce him, I feel.
-
So it's official- he's indeed opening an agency!

You are making this a personal discussion, and I don't mean to comment on that. I don't know you and your experiences. I do know that in the last few years there has been a rise in autism diagnosis due to increased awareness as well a changes in the condition’s diagnostic criteria. Looks like the way things are going, eventually everyone could be put on the spectrum, in which case - what's the point of the diagnosis?! I know that many high IQ people have similar problems, does that mean that all high IQ people are autistic? I guess it does if we define them as such... Since I can't argue with your personal experience, If it pleases you- define JH as you will.

I have met and taught people on the spectrum, and what they all have in common is a tendency towards sensory overload. I don't see when JH displayed such a tendency. Some people on the spectrum that are funcional are quite obvious: refusing to make eye contact, having severe social problems, essentially have no friends- JH obviously is not in that category. Others are more social, but will still say very blunt things that will be consider rude by most people, and they also have severe problems with noise- JH is not in that category either. I also met a person that has been diagnosed as autistic, but if you met her, you wouldn't know it, as she was friendly (had a number of friends) and was generally nice, however in a conersation she bluntly told me that she cared more for animals than her own family. She literally said she would care more if something will happen to her cat than to someone in her family. Again- obviously JH is not in that category. Don't get me wrong- I wouldn't care if JH was on the spectrum, but it doesn't make sense considering what we know about JH. He might be blunt and at times oblivious of people's emotions, but he still cares about them tremendously. He cares about his juniors and co-workers, and will make time to give advice to people, whether they like it or not. He's actually seems to be the opposite of "autistic" in that respect. If anything, I think, considering what CTH said about JH's children and how extremely hyper they were, it stands to reason that JH probably has ADHD. And luckily for him, his positive nature allowed him to deal with it is a positive way. As to this new term- "neurodivergent"- If we start super analyzing people we might decide that everyone are "neurodivergent". Hell- look at KJK- looks completely functional and successfull on the outside, but if we nit pick I bet you we can conclude "neurodivergent" for him too.

I didn't know that... interesting... I hope her next show will turn out well. Either way- it looks like good writers are hard to come by in the Kdrama world... The delivery show was a lot of fun, very revealing, but mostly of the other guys. It really made me come to like them Including young KH.
-
Nope, no such news... JH is actually building something brand new... A bit mysterious. But he will be filming a show in April, the idea of the show can go either way. We're kinda uncertain... Really?! Her last show was also bad? Yikes! What went wrong there?
-
Yep, you are right. Someone posted a correction-
-
Someone just posted a pic of Kang Kwon-joo from Voice filming something, and they claim to see JH next to her. I really hope this is not true, or that it's just a cameo, even though I really miss JH...

So I was watching "steel magnolias", and I was really enjoying the dynamics between the different actresses, and all the amazing side characters, not to mention the amazing script, and that made me think about JH's new project (of course ). I was thinking- what if JH expanded the original idea of doing something based on his real life, into a group thing? What if he'd do a project with the entire group?! I would even have KH join them, similar to Daryl Hannah's character Not necesarily based on their current real lives, but something like "Steel magnolias"- a group of great friends, going throught the highs and lows of life, and their changing friendship? but even having it be based on their real lives could be interesting, seeing how the two brothers and JH are going into new stages in their careers, CTH being the great husband and father, but still having his fears and difficulties, and KJK- the perpetual bachelor- looking for love But doing something closer to Steel magnolias would be amazing!!

@dramafan33 like you I also didn't come out liking CTH after I saw him in the first dragon club show and what I saw of him in the Busan show and the cooking show. But the Mongolia show, having such long stretches of driving allowed them to just talk, so he didn't need to be "on" all the time, with his variaty persona, and that allowed us to see the real him- the doting father, the loving and concerned husband (on the show it was revealed that CTH's wife has been ill for a while), and also the good friend. As @YouwinJH said, we also saw how he took care of the new guy, KH, and made him feel welcomed, while KJK and JH kinda intimidated him in the begining. KJK was his usual kind bully, but JH mostly ignored him. Or seemed to ignore him- I think that is where his intense shyness came into play, and made him seem almost aloof with KH. But he wasn't really, just uncomfortable, I think. Also, I think he was too busy being happy and bubbly for just being in Mongolia with his friends Oh, for sure, @azureblue7! I also wish I had his tenacity and resolve, especially when I'm wasting my time on something silly, I have the thought in the back on my mind "In this time JH would have started and finished a workout..." I love how they accept him just the way he is! I also am trying to understand JH's personality and how him being so 'odd" and seemingly obtuse, gels with everything else we know about him. I have referred to him often as a "unicorn", and really he reminds me of a magical creature from a different dimension or time, trying to live a normal human life (maybe he should do a show about that next ). So, in some respects, he's odd and outlandish, but in others, that are closer to his "true" self, he's amazing and very accomplished. Think Thor after a few years on earth, or the mermaid from "Splash" . So he constantly uses the wrong words, but the ideas he's trying to convey are often very profound. He seems oblivious of people's emotions or reactions, but he will go out of his way to help someone when he's in trouble or in need. Do we really know of another actor that has recomended as many actors and crew members for jobs as he has?! Also, lets not forget him investing money in Ongals just to help his friend. Also- he will go to every wedding he's invited to, will attend funerals of relatives of his friends, even not from their immediate family, and he insists on calling each crew member during the holidays instead of just sending a group message. Not wiling to join any group chat is another thing... He just goes by his own rules In addition- one of the directors that worked with him said that in another time, JH would have been a general! I do wonder what he saw while working with JH that made him say that... And then, there is his work- as you said @dramafan33, there is no way he could have created the characters that he has without being very observant! I think you are right, he just does it differently... You know, you might be right! JH has a tendency of doing that, and in both cases that I know of, we ended up getting a masterpiece! The first example that I can think of is how he used his character in Robbers to create FTLY, and the second example is how he used Midas to create MF. If you are right, and it is indeed what he's doing in his new project, than we may be getting another masterpiece, especialy since I actually liked The Killer, so if he's going to improve on that...

I had to watch the episode at X0.75 speed as the subs were moving so fast! The Mongolia show showed that CTH has a melancholic side to him, as well that he suffers from anxiety. so much anxiety that he needs to be medicated. He is what I call "a sad clown", and I'm glad that JH is there for him with his unending optimism and careless courage. I think he showed to him that even though life is hard, it's easier to face it with a cheerful outlook. On the other hand, the show also showed that CTH is very aware of the feelings of people around him, something that JH can be a bit obtuse about. I think he kinda checks JH when he's going off on his random lectures, making him be aware of the people around him. They are good for each other Not worn out?! At times it seems like the guy is like an innocent child! He's so fresh and optimistic! Even more than KH! I don't understand how he got to his age and is still like that You are right! It was clear he wasn't pleased with his career and by the fact that his successful songs are songs that he never even wanted to sing! I'm so glad for him that he decided to risk it and finally do something that he really wants, and I think you are right- JH's optimistic nature and his willingness to risk it all on his new plans probably helped him make this decision... And it was so sweet of him to want to sleep over at JH's just so he won't be alone...

Exactly! Learning the way he does right now, is a complete waste of time! But knowing him, he will stick by it, and it might take him much longer, and then suddenly he will come out speaking perfect English It's his way, I guess. But I do really hope KJK will just force him to go to the US with him.

KJK's house is making me super anxious, just watching it! The chaos in it is staggering! After the Mongolia show, these guys just make me smile What a chaotic, funny bunch! And I love how KH brings his own quirky, funny self into the mix- his quest for the sticky tape was hilarious! The way JH learns English is so odd, but he is so commited to it! Like a diligent child!! KJK is right in his advice- JH should listen to him. He uses English in a theoretic way, he's not living it. There is the right way that he's now learning, and there is the usual way in which he speaks, heavy accent and all. And it's still there. I still think his teacher should be fired, and KJK should take him to the US and train him. Not In the gym, but in English. Looks like JH is planning an action variety show, the househusband show in April, and something mysterious in the US
