I had to go and look what you were refering to, since I don't follow Korean news. If I remember correctly, the guy had drugs issue before, so I'm a bit confused as to how they decided this was intentional by him. I kinda liked him in My Mister (though not his charcter, as his character was weak and boring), so I tried watching other things he did, but nothing grabbed me. Even if the cause of his death is true, mentioning JH in juxtaposition to this issue is a bit of a stretch to me, since JH has never mentioned such thoughts crossing his mind, even immediately after his scandal broke. I'm sure the friends that supported him helped, but it also had to do with the way he thinks- He did say that he lost his optimism for a while in the begining, but then, while serving in the army, he rallied and worked on improving himself. This kinda puts our hopes for JH's future in perspective- LSK has achieved what we kinda hoped for JH- an international career. But more than that we hope for JH's happiness. First and foremost his happiness. JH's path is different. It's clear he doesn't play the game that most actors play in order to succede, and as a result his path is more difficult. But at least he's in control of his path, and so- seems to be happy. I have tried to watch two shows recently. Awaken, due to the constant comparisons of the lead actor to JH, and Perfect Marriage Revenge, just cause I felt like watching a a romantic revenge show, and its synopsis looked promising. Awaken- I stopped after 3 eps, since this was nothing but a standard maveric briliant cop being clever, solving everything while being rude. As to the comparison to JH- I would say his acting was like he was doing a parody of JH's acting. Over the top swagger and blase. Very one dimenssional. Perfect Marriage Revenge- started promising, for one moment I even thought this could get close to being as fun as FTLY, but then it desolved into the usual rich familes' intrigue. Sadly the male lead, that started out being tough and smart, turned into a complete simp. The lead actress was actually not bad. I think she could be very good, with the right material. What these two shows highlighted to me was just how many bad to mediocre shows are being made. The scripts are so repetetive and forgetable! I guess this is what JH meant when he said that he noticed the change in the business, and decided on striking on his own. There are very few good scripts floating around, and those that do exist, go to those that play the game. So I think on this we'd have to wait a bit more, for JH to put his plan into effect, and start the ball rolling.

Oh, yes- now I remember! I wonder where they are? Did they go horse back riding?
-
Now I recognized the guy in the picture; it's the youtuber that interviewed JH When he promoted the Killer. right? Looks like these days he's doing charity, and in the caption he thanked JH- so, could it be that JH donated something or helped with the charity?
-
First of all- love that his bangs are back Secondly- these last few pics, also the one his cousin (?) posted, really highlight just how petit JH really is! From these pics its very clear why everyone is commenting about how small his face is- he's almost like a doll compared to the guys next to him a pretty, deadly doll

So I read the interview that was just released and this part has me concerned. The part in which he's thinking about a story he'd like to do, essentially based on his current situation: "Based on this idea, I am thinking of a story in which an action actor in his mid-to-late 40s who has achieved everything suddenly turns into a housewife in his 40s and starts his life again. He thought, 'What am I doing now?' and came up with a story about how he feels lonely and then accidentally discovers acting again. This is a story that anyone in the same age group as me can relate to, and I thought it would be good to express it with an action feel." I understand that this comes from his current situation, and done right it could be interesting, but after bad papa and The Swordsmand and The Killer, that were totally lacking in romance and sexy, I'm concerned JH will again not even try to make the project more appealing to the younger crowd, meaning insert romance into the mix. He could go for a play on this subject- like do a live action of the anime "The Way of the Househusband", that's an IP and so will create a buzz. Action galore there. Or if he wants to focus on the middle aged- I mentioned before the Al Pacino movie "Author! Author!". It's different a bit from JH's situation, but it does hit the suddenly alone middle aged man finding his path again, only here he's left with his children. It's a hilarious comedy that I loved, and it has romance in it.

I've been again going over FTLY soompi's message board, and the passionate discssions there was amazing! and it also made clear why that show had such a passionate fan reaction- it was a remake of a popular show. This is what I want JH to do next- take a great show or movie, can be an old Korean show or foreign, and remake it. This, at the very least, will give us a guarantee of a good script and a built in fandom that will create buzz around the show. Another thing it made me sad again about the wasted opportunity that Family was... as to the JH's new... project? So it's going to be an action short?
-
No... I am an action lover... I'm just confused by the strategy here. I hope there is something more here. Glad there's going to be interaction with fans in Korea Love how much Derek loves JH

Oh... why would I order an action video?! also- saw the clip- am I the only one who didn't like the constsntly "pulling in pulling out" of the camera and the swiftness of the action? No offense, but... At the end the clip JH is shown taking his sunglasses off, and then his eyes shine. So he's maybe portraying a super human or a cyborg, I guess.
-
I'm a bit baffled- what does it mean "album"? pre-orders to what?! So there is a project that will be released early next year? Meaning on January?

Thank you so much for sharing this summary. He's so honest, saying that he's really scared now that for the first time he's doing things alone. But inspite of this fear he's still going forward, saying that he thinks he can do it. Love his honesty and courage. Love that he's confident! The video he showed, of the fight he posted pics of, he directed and planned. So I think indeed he's going to direct action scenes, not entire shows. At first I thought the clip was filmed as a standalone, But he also said that due circumstances he can't show the entire scene... What circumstances? The only ones I can think of are that this clip is actually from a show or movie he's doing, so there is still hope he's a show coming. At any rate, whatever JH is planning, I wish him success, and also I hope he has good people on his side to help him achieve his goals.

What on earth is a "action planning and production company"?! Does it have a connection to the action stunt team show he did a while ago?! Is he going to produce only action films, or maybe he's managing action teams?
-
If he is, Was The Killer it's first product?!
-
A short vid. I'm hearing the word "mongol"?
-
I checked and the poster on twitter I previously mentioned is now protecting her posts. So my guess is she wrote something she shouldn't have and maybe the organizers asked her to take it down. It was either about her complaints about the translator or her mentioning a show JH mentioned. Not sure if it was a new show or old. At any rate- what's with all the secrecy?!
-
Rats... for sunglasses?
-
Did any of the posters from Japan mentioned what he actually said in the meeting? I only saw one comment mentioning he said the name of a show, but because of the bad translation they couldn't understand the name. It's of the same person that posted about the bad translation, but now I can't even find the tweets. Is it possible she was asked to delete her posts?

Grace reposted a vid- sounds very noisy! https://www.instagram.com/p/C0oOa8SrfZr/ another post- https://www.instagram.com/p/C0oVWQ3rBYL/ https://www.instagram.com/p/C0oT_wFrQVm/ According to this person, whoever is translating JH into Japanese, is horrible

another post I just ran across, and god, do I miss JH in scenes like these! I love every single scene that was posted here! I so want another show or movie that will give JH the opportunity to challange himself emotionally again! Also- love his hair in these scenes! I don't remember him going back to this style, and I wish he will...
-
I'm just hoping that instead of the silliness of making him sing and cook, whoever attends the meeting will ask him real questions, about his work. Something tells me all the questions will be about his private life, now that it was revealed that his family is abroad...
-
This post popped on my JH search results, and it kinda reminded me again why I'm a JH fan. I needed this reminder considering the last year, with the disaster that Family was... Looking at the other posts in this thread, to me the actors in every other vid look like models! It's more than clear that the only point of the shirtless scenes shown in the vids was to highlight the looks of the actor and to titilate, while in JH's scene- you're not seeing goodlooking JH. You're seeing DG. No pretty boy, but a grizzled cynical warrior. Most of you even said that when you first saw Chuno, you actually didn't think he's good looking. And that's amazing! I want another role like this!! (of course with better plot... ) r
-
Yes, Glasses I felt something was wrong about the way I wrote it, but was too excited to dwell on it You're right! the hair is different! Thank god!
-
This looks new, no? I'm afraid to get excited... Notice he's holding glaces for some reason?
-
Thank you for the translation!! Watching these clips it again looks like JH used this show to promote his friends. Also, if I understood correctly, JH is not talking about becoming a director of action movies, but of actions scenes. From what I understood, action scenes have a different director for them, so I'm guessing JH will now push to be the action director in his projects.
-
Learning that JH's family is abroad is a very important detail, but I admit that I don't like variety shows that show people's personal lives. I'd rather he do a show more like Mongolia or running man or whatever. Like you, I also think that JH took this offer to maintain visibility, I just rather he do script driven shows... Here's hoping to such news soon!
