    @yuzu16 I was just saying it as a joke since it’s all over social media and people are still talking about the drama as it just ended. I already read the news that there’s no plans for season 2... but who really knows. Whether there’s plans for a season 2 or not, I’m sure whatever role he chooses for his come back drama, he’ll do just great. :)

     

    Oh, :lol:... I didn't know you meant it as a joke. I've been it reading all over social media too and some people are convinced it's a teaser for the second season.  Some knetz even demand the writers apologize for misleading them..lol.

    Maybe season 2 will be his drama come back and they are just keeping things on a hush hush for now. And maybe IU and YJG will be the ones that will make a cameo in season 2.

     

    The writers were interviewed today and they said there is no plan for Season 2.  They were surprised themselves when they found out Soo Hyun was going to do the cameo, they don't even personally know him. Because the cameo left such a strong impression on viewers, it led people to believe it was a teaser for a second season but that was not the intent. They just wanted to show that the hotel continues to operate even after IU leaves.

     

    Honestly, I don't think Soo Hyun would chose a Season 2 of a drama for his comeback, he likes new challenges.

    Article: Naver 'Hotel Del Luna' Yeo Jin Goo and IU who have been fated to meet since his previous life... Kim Soo Hyun, the next hotel owner 

    1. [+4304,-83]
    Wow, the period of time when Yeo Jin Goo grew up into a handsome guy, did Kim Soo Hyun take preservatives?

    2. [+4277,-210]
    Can we just take 'Arthdal' away and go with 'Hotel 2'?


    3. [+2418,-74]
    Am I the only one who finds the ending a pity? 
    - [+439,-12]
    Me too.. Kim Soo Hyun was cool, but to be honest, I don't really care. It'd be better if they make a better ending for 'Hotel Del Luna'. ㅠㅠㅠ I don't know if there will be season 2, but it's not like Kim Soo Hyun is the ending all of a sudden. 
    - [+454,-3]
    No, but this isn't even an artistic movie, I don't get why they are always leaving it to the viewers' imagination whenever it comes to the ending. I wanted a real happy ending like 'Master's Sun'. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ If it's imagination, then it's imagination, if it's reincarnation, then it is. Why are they making it vague.. It's so frustrating that I can't sleep tonight. 


    4. [+1629,-159]
    The ending=Kim Soo Hyun..


    5. [+1376,-129]
    Let's go for season 2 with Blue Moon!


    6. [+526,-13]
    No, but IU and Yeo Jin Goo went through all the hardship, but the highlight went to Kim Soo Hyun at the end.. 


    7. [+493,-8]
    'Hotel Del Luna' is really like a dream during the summer. Lee Ji Eun, Yeo Jin Goo, and all the staff, thank you. 


    8. [+481,-12]
    Why did they create the epilogue for?... If they make that kind of epilogue, the ending of 'Hotel Del Luna' won't be memorable. I just kept thinking that Kim Soo Hyun is going to appear in season 2, and forgot about the real ending of this drama... Looks like I won't be able to remember the ending of this drama. 


    9. [+437,-7]
    Firstly, Chan Sung said he'll be going to New York the next day. Choi Seo Hee, Scholar Kim, and P.O, all appeared at the end. It seems like it won't be this life, but their reincarnation.. And the flower that God Mago left in Goo Chan Sung's chest, I think Goo Chan Sung won't lose his memories even after reincarnating because of it. 


    10. [+413,-15]
    Lee Ji Eun's scene was so sad at the end. 

     

    Article: Naver 'Hotel Del Luna' Lee Ji Eun goes to afterlife after Yeo Jin Goo sends her off... Preview of season 2 with Kim Soo Hyun 


    1. [+1517,-29]
    I was really upset because of the open ending. But I melted when I saw Kim Soo Hyun... I hope this is a hint for season  2. 


    2. [+1239,-21]
    Did Kim Soo Hyun get to run the hotel because of his resentment that 'Real' was a flop? 


    3. [+954,-12]
    I look forward to 'Hotel Blue Moon' season 2... The Kim Soo Hyun version, who would the female lead be..? Do Min Joon tried to become a human but died, so God Mago took him in. 


    4. [+560,-10]
    I had goosebumps. Kim Soo Hyun didn't even appear for a minute but he was so memorable. 


    5. [+576,-65]
    I hate open endings.. Please explain how Man Wol came back.  ㅠㅠ
    - [+672,-0]
    It's obvious that it's just an imagination. The scriptwriter just wanted to show how fate goes round, which they will end up meeting again. 


    6. [+181,-3]
    Man Wol didn't come back, they both imagined that they met again. That's what the lines at the end said. Personally, I wondered what would it be like if Yeo Jin Goo takes over the hotel, meets IU again, and they live happily ever after. The ending is kind of ambiguous. It's a pity.


    7. [+135,-0]
    This open ending is too open. Chan Sung is going to miss her a lot for the rest of his life... By the way, Kim Soo Hyun is so cool. 


    8. [+113,-6]
    The ending seriously turned me into a fool. It's crazy with its good start and bad end. The epilogue with Kim Soo Hyun is so much better than the story. What's this?  ㅋㅅㅋㄱㅋㄱㅋㄱㅋㄱㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


    9. [+110,-5]
    Totally different vibes from IU. Please film season 2 with Kim Soo Hyun. ㅠㅠㅠ I thought my heart was about to stop.

     I hope his cameo for few minutes not few seconds

     

    Unfortunately, most cameos are brief like that :expressionless:. But I rather have a few seconds than no seconds. Fans were having a field day on Weibo and Twitter yesterday just from the announcement.  Everybody is so excited to see him on screen again, me included!

  6. Senior actor Son Hyun Joo mentioned Soo Hyun in a recent interview for his upcoming movie. They collaborated in the movie Secretly, Greatly in the past.

     

    Son Hyun Joo said: "Kim Soo Hyun is a very smart actor. I believe he has only shown 15% of his acting potential thus far and has a lot more to offer as an actor in the future. Kim Soo Hyun recently discharged from the military, have you chosen a project yet?"

    DPC went to the 2019 China-Korea Cross-border E-Commerce Summit.

    It was also the 9th Korean Goods Selection Festival 
    DPC won a grand prize at the conference: The most popular brand of the year 

     

    I still think this endorsement is kind of fishy.  Seems like Soo Hyun is not ready to resume activities yet either for personal reasons or contractual implications with Keyeast. I don't understand why they are using old photos when he is now discharged, unless he didn't agree to the endorsement in the first place.

    Thank you for the translation. I first saw him in Dream High and honestly, I first got interested more in the storyline than in any of the actors. It was my first Korean show which I watched during summer. When I shared it to one of my colleague, I was told that it was an old show and the lead, Kim Soo Hyun,  is now a multi-awarded actor. He said that there are even some talks that the fame might have gotten into his head. Curios, and nothing to do during summer, I started watching Kim Soo Hyun’s interviews, fan made videos, and uploads.  From what I saw, I believe he is still that humble despite the fame. Koreans should be proud of him. Despite being a very good actor, one can feel his sincerity in his answers during those interviews I saw. His “behind the scenes videos” shows his 

     

    Hi Jacel, thanks for sharing your journey in discovering our beloved actor, Kim Soo Hyun.  I'd like to share with you a quote described by Chinese journalists about Soo Hyun:

     

    "Kim Soo-hyun is like a book with refined quality. As long as you are willing to look through it, you will want to keep on reading. Unfortunately, some people do not read books at all."

     

    The more you learn about him, you will see that he's always been the same dork from his rookie days to the top star he is today.  He never changed because "fame got this head."  I wish those who made that accusation could provide some concrete examples rather than just shoot empty words. I guess those are people who do not read books at all and decide to make a statement without even reading the first page. Even at the height of his insane popularity, he is always polite and humble and yields to the side for others to take the spotlight.  He never uses anyone's name to media play his fame, rather it's always the other way around with others using his name to get in the news.  

     

    006KgtUCgy1fqz66bl5oog306w054npd.gif

     

    The more you learn about him, you will understand why he chose Real or why you shouldn't expect him to make appearances, give interviews, or update his social media to stay relevant.  I hope you will stay for the journey and keep on reading the book...

    Good morning. Would it be possible to see an English version on the article about the interview of Kim Soo Hyun’s father talking about him? I am new here and very late knowing KSH. Honestly, I do not like anything Korean before, but for whatever reason, that kid changed my mind about Koreans in general, and ended up being a fan. I never been a fan when I was younger and supposed to be one. Something about this kid KSH ( well, apparently a man now) that made me curious of him and open minded about Koreans. Now, he seems like my son whom I need to check on from time to time. 

     

    Welcome to the thread, Jacel!  Here's the English translation of the interview (only parts mentioning Soo Hyun translated).

     

    The model army life of a top star, text message from Kim Soo Hyun's superior

     

    On July 1, Kim Soo Hyun completed his 20 month military service and returned to fans in good health and handsome image. Kim Soo Hyun was placed as a 4th grade public service officer during his first conscription examination because he suffered from heart disease when he was a child. Through great efforts in health management, he was re-examined and ultimately enlisted in active service. After enlisting, he completed five weeks of basic military training with excellent results, and volunteered to go to the frontline of the elite unit 1st division search brigade. Kim Chung Hoon showed me the text message sent to him from Kim Soo Hyun's military superior. From this, we can fully see that Kim Soo Hyun’s military life was that of model soldier. Kim Soo Hyun’s superior said in the text message: “In the beginning, when a big star like Kim Soo Hyun was assigned to our unit, it was thought it would be a burden, it was only after spending time together that I realized I worried for nothing. Whether it was during combat operations or military camp life, he set the example of model conduct.  Being self disciplined and never neglecting activities, he was a role model for other soldiers. It may be because of being a bit older, he quickly adapted to the group environment and got along well with his teammates, forming a close bond. Our search team winning the Top Team for two consecutive years is proof of how well our team works together. Thank you for sending an outstanding actor and precious son to us. No matter where he is, soldier Kim Soo Hyun performs well in everything he does."

     

    Q: You must have been worried of your son's life in the military and feel relieved now.

    A: Yes, I feel relieved. Because Soo Hyun had heart surgery when he was a child, he was initially exempted from serving in active service. But he managed his health well and got re-examined. He also enlisted later compared to others. Although it was very manly, I still felt very worried. Now that he returned safely and healthily, I am most grateful.

     

    Q: Because Kim Soo Hyun looks very healthy, many people don't know that he had undergone heart surgery. When did he have the operation?
    A: It was probably around 2004. When I was working in Busan, Soo Hyun called to let me know he was at the hospital and about to undergo heart surgery. He told me it wasn't a major operation and not to worry. I thought it was like that, but I only found out later that it was a major operation. It wasn't just any part of the body, but a major organ. I did not go see him when he was sick and as a father, that is what I am most sorry for. I regret only caring about my work at that time.

     

    Q: How is Soo Hyun ssi doing recently?
    A: After discharge, he wanted to travel and have some time to himself. However, because he received a lot of scripts, he is reviewing them and it seems that he has no time to rest (laughs).

     

    Q: How do you evaluate your son's singing ability?
    A: A skilled singer pulls the voice from the belly and that is what Soo Hyun does. He is born with a good pitch and his tone is also very attractive. Bragging about your own child seems a bit foolish, but this is what I really think (laughs).

     

    Q: What are your expectations for Kim Soo Hyun?
    A: Soo Hyun really likes acting. I hope he receives the fan's love through more good works. As an artist, to be able to walk an actor's path without regret is all one can ask for.

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    From the above interview, you can see how mature and self disciplined Soo Hyun is.  Even at an young age, he understood his dad had to work to make a living and underplayed his surgery so that he doesn't worry about him. He is only reviewing scripts now because he did not want his actor life to interfere with his military life. In the military, he was 100% committed to being a soldier and did not let himself get distracted with post military activities.

  10. Parts about Soo Hyun:

     

    Host: The hallyu king we haven't seen for a long time appears today. Let's see who it is.

     

    Soo Hyun salutes to fans and media.

    SH: I joined the military at an older age and at one point wondered how I could endure the difficult times. During my time here, I trained hard like all my teammates and earned the special class soldier title. I tried my very best. Since early this morning, I started preparing for my discharge and until now it still doesn't feel real.. but I feel very relaxed.

     

    Host: His mood is indeed very relaxed. In order to liven up our discussion, we invited cultural and arts reporter Kang to our show, welcome! The atmosphere looks very lively there! 

     

    Reporter: It is the discharge day of a top hallyu star. Therefore, many fans, including those from overseas, arrived very early at the site. Perhaps that is the reason Kim Soo Hyun smiled so brightly. 

     

    Host: Reportedly, Kim Soo Hyun had a heart condition since he was young.

     

    Reporter: That's right. Actually since he had heart disease when he was younger, he was placed in Grade 4 service. Grade 4 classification is social service work, which used to be referred to as public service. After being placed in Grade 4, he had a very strong desire to join active service. Through persistent health management, he later received Grade 1 placement and finally joined the 1st Infantry division, showing his strong will. 

     

    Host: But I heard the 1st Infantry division is an extremely difficult place.

     

    Reporter: Correct, you can say it doesn't get harder than that. The search recon team's primary base is the Military Demarcation Line. It is an area the public cannot enter. I used to serve nearby, the area separated by barb wire is the land mine zone. Part of the soldiers' operation is minesweeping, which is highly dangerous. Therefore, you cannot join this team without strong mental strength and determination.

     

    Host: In such a dangerous environment and having suffered heart disease, Kim Soo Hyun adapted very well. 

    Even though Kim Soo Hyun joined the army at the age of 29, his age didn't make a difference. He was also keeping up with watching girl group performances on tv. 

     

    Reporter: Although military life is very strict and Kim Soo Hyun being like an older brother, he still felt the charm of girl groups. He himself is a hallyu star, so he might pay a bit more attention because some are his colleagues or juniors in the industry. Also, his teammates could learn more about the members through Kim Soo Hyun.

     

    Host: Our program even displays the caption "Girl group MVs become source of motivation in military life." Haha.

    So why is there so much discussion about Kim Soo Hyun? Reportedly, he did not have even one visitor during his service.

     

    Reporter: Right, as I mentioned earlier, Kim Soo Hyun's place of work is very dangerous. Unlike other divisions, the visitation process is very strict. Although it is currently a bit more relaxed, it still requires multiple applications to enter because it is still a highly restrictive area. Therefore, visitation is not easy and he personally feels the process is too troublesome so he said there is no need to visit.


    Actually it is better to avoid such a complicated visitation process and just see your friends and family during vacation time.

    *** I heard that KSH will leave KE to work with his cousin who was part of his movie, "Real" - If this is true, he'll be working soon with his family. Whatever his decision will be, I will always support him. Do what you want to do and be happy.  I bet all of those big agencies are fighting for him.  He needs a good comeback project, though. :P

     

    There are only two articles about this and they are just predictions.  If it was official, there would be tonnes of articles everywhere.  Since he still has a contract with KE, I don't think anything can be disclosed yet.  I bet even KE doesn't know for sure, but I'm sure they're doing everything they can to get him to stay.

     

    I sincerely hope his cousin is a good guy and not leeching off him.  I think this cousin is from his mom's side and as we know, Soo Hyun's aunts helped him and his mom a lot after his parents separated.  If they do end up working together, I hope it's not because SH feels obligated to repay his aunt and her family. 

     

    I trust and respect his decision, but I really don't want Soo Hyun to work with his family since people are already biased against this cousin.

  12. “It’s a relieving feeling” Kim Soo Hyun, Discharged amidst the cheers of 300 female fans

    original post: naver

     

    1.[+924, -9] Wow ~ He came back even better! Nice to meet you!!

     

    2. [+481, -34] If he chooses his job well, there will be nothing to complain about him …

     

    3. [+430, -16] I remember Kim Soo Hyun, who had a hard time before joining the army. His company should choose a movie well for him. Not something like ‘Real’

     

    4. [+186, -5] Thank you so much! Let’s hurry back with a good piece of work!

     

    5. [+167, -6] He’s still handsome.^^ 

     

    6. [+57, -0] Wow … his face still looks the same as before … looks like he was born for the army … Other male celebrities came back looking older… 

     

    7. [+51, -0] I can’t believe he was serving in the army and come back so well … His acting is great, but his personality is even better. Don’t lose your precious heart. I hope to see it through his work. ^^

     

    8. [+43, -0] Kim Soo Hyun is a top actor. I hope he will be able to play bowling without any trouble and come back soon!!

     

    9. [+42, -0] Actors in general seem to serve in the good army. I think most military issues are singers.

     

    10. [+40, -0] Kim Soo Hyun didn’t participate in national events. He only lives in the army. Other celebrities perform musicals, attend events, and have vacations. They try to do other things more comfortably than to serve the military properly.

    Hi yuzu, thanks for the reply. Ahhh............so, it's NICE that it still covered his time while inside the camp. Up to now, he's still the model for this. :P I hope while waiting for his acting project next year we could get to see him in a new CF soon.

     

    You're welcome, willenette.  If he picks a movie, we might not see it until late 2020 or  sometime in 2021... :crazy:

     

    His new CF seems kind of weird to me. Instead of taking official photos, Keyeast is just giving them pictures from an old photoshoot.  It's like they're just selling his name and attaching his pictures to their product.  I think Soo Hyun and Keyeast are at a bit of an awkward stage right now because they know he's leaving.  Do they accept new work for him or not?

    1. [+2,485, -193] There's no one else like him

    2. [+2,335, -142] He's at the top acting wise in his age group so I think he'll quickly go back to what he was worth before enlistment as long as his drama does average...

    3. [+1,828, -136] I don't think he could get any higher but there's really nothing but potential left for him, he's so handsome

    4. [+112, -12] Wow.. handsome and serving active duty earned him a shield for life.. let's soar high

    5. [+99, -9] He doesn't do drugs, doesn't solicit prostitution, no sponsors... he's the only one left

    6. [+99, -9] Objectively speaking, he's at the top for his age group

    7. [+94, -8] Soo Hyun-ah, this is the opportunity for you to become a one top

    8. [+82, -3] I personally want him to do another historical drama ㅠ he matches the outfits so well

    9. [+72, -3] He has a positive image, he's finished serving, he's had no scandals... and now that he's older, he can take on a bigger variety of roles. There's no where but up left for him ㅎㅎㅎ

    10. [+65, -7] Most actors stick to a certain image so every drama ends up looking the same after a while but Kim Soo Hyun is somehow able to make his image feel different with each new drama

    Hi hwonhwon, thanks for sharing this. Are these pictures recent, after his military discharged? Just wondering.....:o:P

     

    Hi willenette, Soo Hyun was selected as the model for MODETOUR in October 2017 and these photos were taken right before he enlisted.  Even though they knew he wouldn't be able to do any additional promotions after the photoshoot, they signed him on for 3 years.

    There was news that Soo Hyun might appear in the new drama directed by Choi Dong-hoon [ The thieves ], but everything is still waiting for the official announcement 

    Is it true? :o

     

     

    Right now it's all speculations since Soo Hyun has stated he will not have any projects until next year. The industry seems convinced he is waiting for his contract with Keyeast to end before he picks up anything, and director Choi's new movie will start filming the end of the year or early next year. There have been some other names rumored to be casted in this movie, but the director's rep have clarified that the casting is not yet confirmed.

     

    Director Choi Dong-hoon says casting for his latest film is currently up in the air.

    Caper Film sources said, "The scenario is still a work in progress and previous reports about the title being "Alien" is not true".  "Names like JJH, KWB, RJY and KTR that were mentioned in the press haven't even been asked about their schedules, nor have they been verbally cast for the film".

     

    Src:  HanCinema

     

    Here's the translation of Soo Hyun's article regarding this (the rest is about his discharge):

     

    The entertainment industry believes that Kim Soo Hyun will decide on his next project after his exclusive contract with Keyeast ends later this year. There is the possibly he may work on director Choi Dong Hoon's new film, who they previously collaborated in "The Thieves".

     

    Whether he decides to stay or leave his agency and whether he will return through director Choi Dong Hoon's new film, these topics are a growing interest of many fans.
