I was in this thread a long time ago, just came back to Soompi on April 2nd. Feels like visiting old friends and family.

 

And how are you guys doing? You guys came across in my mind everytime I visit this Forum. Miss you all btw 

@farbarri @mrdimples @rionae

 

I am just saying hi again after three years.

 

 

I was part of this thread around 2014-15 (it has been nine years since I first joined). My old friends are no longer here... I often wonder what they are doing right now in their lives. However, I really miss them and my interactions with them in this forum because I learned English from this fan forum. It helped me earn my master's degree in the US and allowed me to visit eleven countries to attend fully funded conferences. In the past, my English wasn't good at all, and my friends patiently tried to understand me. Anyway, I will always be grateful joining this community~

 

 

I met Joo Won in real life during the promotion of the drama YongPal in 2015. He looked so handsome and unreal! I genuinely believe that Joo Won will always hold a special place deep in my heart. He is the Korean actor who has been the most influential in providing me inspiration and motivation.

 

Thank you all for your warm support and endless love towards our actor, Joo Won~

Hey you all. Joowon's agency Ghost Studio recently went through a M&A...yes again!Tired of counting how many time it happened.. 

 

Anyways, Ghost studio today shared some behind photos of that event.

Our Joowon is looking so dashing.. their post said their event started with Joowon's speech on behalf of Ghost Studio. He is a leader through and through.

Joowon really slimmed down a lot to play the character of upcoming drama he is filming for.. I kind of really miss his full cheeks. 

 

And Joowon seem to have a schedule in Thailand on Viu Scream Dates event. He will have an special fan concert on October 7th. Soon after his birthday. He is part of day long event there will be other local artist but they are promoting his event as special part of the event. Joowon will be the last one to perform too.

So we can look forward to end of September as it's Joowon's birthday and then week after this fan concert event. I hope we will get to see good fan cam. I really miss Joowon who is smiling, moving and talking with fans.

@Kaizen68, thanks for stopping by. It's always a pleasure to see the greetings of members from years back, who really are the reason why this forum is so rich in JW fangirling and information. It's not the same anymore of course.

 

But thankfully few people comes and say hi time to time and share their fondness for Joowon.

I wish you the best and hope fangirling for JW will always remain as a beautiful memory for you.

Happy Birthday to our favourite Actor Joowon. Wishing Moon Junwon a happy and fun filled day.

SIDE NOTE: One of Joo Won oppa's drama characters is featured in this event.

Hello to @flutterby06 @Kaizen68 @Tongtong @valinor500

[flutterby06]

🥲 Hellooooo...Any Joowon fans here? It's just me...😅

Though it's quiet here, I am guessing you'll know that Joowon is filming a drama. In fact the filming is probably near to its end.

 

After much wait the ENA channel has shared few details with us. Those are as follows:-

 

Korean Title: Yahan Sajingwan

Tentative English Title: Midnight Photo Studio 

Episode: 16

First Broadcast: 11th March, 2024.

Time: 10 pm KST

 

This fantasy drama is going to be ENA's first Monday -Tuesday drama of this year. 

 

And Joowon and Kwon Nara today appeared in first shout out for the drama. We didn't get the script reading photos yet but here they are already greeting audience. Personally I am a little skeptical because the drama has a ghost theme but I still am hopeful because of Joowon. I hope ENA will promote the drama well.

 

@partyon , hi. Thanks for changing the title. I came to the thread just to do that but you're sharp as always. ☺️

And speaking of Joowon character being featured in the this truth lie event, let me just go and check what this is about.

@flutterby06 chingu 

Glad to have you back! I’m still here!

[flutterby06]

@partyon, always thankful for having such friendly EO.😇

 

@valinor500, hello. Good to see you.

 

[Ma OO]

It's been so long, Joo Won shi....

 

I hope to see your new drama again, it looks good.

Feeling nostalgic, looking back at the past posts. Joo Wonies were crazy and chatty fans, weren't we?

 

Reading very few new posts that we have here, still glad that you all (and I) still remember and love Joo Won.

Hello @Ma OO.  It's good to see an sunbae Joo Won forum member back. It's always an pleasure.

I often read back old chats and it's always very fun. That's how I actually fell in love with this forum . Your chats become data for international fans. It's an literal encyclopedia

Yes now-a-days fans do not come here often but may be they do follow up with Joowon updates on their own.

Good to know you're looking forward to the new drama. Let's hope Midnight Photo Studio will be good drama that will entertain Joo Won fans and all drama lovers.

 

And @Ma OO, I just wanted to ask you, do you still think 'Love Express', Joo Won's Cdrama has any chance of getting released? I see the you have a poster rod that in your DP.

His character Description says-

 

The 7th generation photographer at a photo studio specializing in customer service. A photographer who takes the last records of ghosts from generation to generation in the family. He is the only human that ghosts can see and touch. He suffered from a nervous breakdown due to being visited by ghosts of all kinds every day, which led to him becoming a very picky person.

Isn't he looking so dashing! 😍 

 

And there's also beautiful couple shot with upcoming leading lady Kwon Nara.

 

 

Kwon Nara joined JW's agency now 'Ghost Studio' back in June of 2023. This news was shared little shortly after her casting in The Midnight Studio drama got confirmed. Just saying in case anyone ever reads the thread later.

Spoiler

 

The interview can be read in- All Night Long . 

 

Soompi also summerized the interview:

And apparently Viki is going to be the distributor of this drama. I guess we will get lots of articles from soompi on upcoming Joowon drama.

Joowon is finding sweetest way to touch his fandom's heart. 2 days ago Joowon's agency released a video song sang by Joowon. The original song is Roy Kim. Joowon covered this song. And with this song he left heartfelt messages for his fans and people who stayed beside him for a long time.

 

Check out this song if you haven't already. Keep the English caption on to check out the lyrics. Joowon left left a letter with thoughtful message at the end.

 

A fan edit with the message:

 

Like his acting voice vary time to time according to his character his singing voice also vary time to time according to the mood of the song. The man is so talented. 

 

Love everything about the music video. He looked so warm and soft just like his singing.

 

Joowon's IG post : Original singer Roy Kim also left a comment in Joowon's song post. 

 

Translation of their comment exchange -

 

Roy Kim: No wonder spring this year was very hot. Thank you. 

 

Joowon: Thank you for the good song~ (clap emoji)
