Annyeong again... 
I really miss Joo Won...

Annyeong dear Tasia!  Please don't be upset as we will see JooWonnie appearing in the army festival in half a month from now.  Comparing to last year's event, this year seems to have less pictures of our celebrities doing the preparation.  Just wondering what they will do to reach out to the public.  I look forward to seeing JW playing a big brother's role in the pack.  

While waiting for the event, let's read some funny recalls for last year.

Spoiler

Is it just me thinking that JW is feeding himself very well ... he is chubbier than last year?

First glimpse of last year the event making

I guess we’re all a bit busy at this time of the year, with school and work and everything. Fighting everyone! Remember to take care of yourself when the life gets hectic. I’m currently watching three different dramas and none of them are Joowon’s, so there isn’t much to update from my side. I’m sure that now that his birthday (September 30th) and The Ground Force Festival (October 5th) are nearing, there’ll be more material to write about on this forum as well

I think so  I’m happy he’s eating well, he needs the energy so that he can do well at the military and stay healthy!

 

Loving this video clip; is there any cuter way to wish you a good night? 

 

 

[soomoi]

Voila! The silhouette photo is finally revealed – Joo Won is on the left 

 

Spoiler

 

I've never seen the Big Bang idols appearing so cute.  Thanks to the big brothers standing right next to both.

 

 Promotion clip featured Daesung and Taeyang only, but a glimpse of JW was offered in the latter part of the video as the MC of last year’s event. 

So so for the festival.  Still have a week to go. 

 

Following by recent photos I found from ig that is interesting to share here.

 

Spoiler

A shy old-school Joo Won. 

 

100% flower-boy - its the first time I saw it.

A side-by-side comparison of Cha Yoo Jin and Lee Kang To with the bared shoulder.  It's funny that here CYJ had a more fierce look while LKT is melo.

I feel like connected with this photo.  JW is calm and strong, comforting you after a rough day.  Someone you can count on.  Somehow I have a feeling that this will be one of his future drama character.

Its absolutely fine to have our own past-time.  I'm sure when the time comes JW's back to career, fans will get together again happily.  These days I'm watching J-drama, with Good Doctor remake, and a few others.   J-dramas are good past-times as they usually finish in less than 10 episodes.  Speaking of Good Doctor remake, I found it becoming boring in the later episodes.  The story line is unreasonable in some detail, e.g. the sister right after the intestinal transplant operation can roll and lean forward to talk to her little sister.  What a superwoman who can either endure the pain or overpower the effect of anesthetics!  A 17 year old patient suffering from head injury was transferred from neurology specialist to pediatric surgery section.   In the original K-drama this patient was a primary school student and thus treatment in pediatric department was reasonable.   About the main character, besides showing nervousness I do not see the character's evolution towards a better doctor or a better person.  Obviously the drama's emphasis was more on the female lead and the medical cases, with the autistic young doctor as a little icing on the cake.  What's left in my mind after watching the drama was the heaviness and the dim lighting inside the hospital.  Compare to other J-dramas that I watched, this is quite disappointing.

I saw these too and found them endearing. Joowon is so serious and sincere even when others are just joking around. But that’s something I like about him.

I’ve seen a couple of J-dramas so far and liked them, but since there are so many dramas and movies on my watch list I don’t actively look for them. I thought about watching Good Doctor remakes but for me Joowon’s is the one and only, so I wouldn’t give them a chance.

 

I got very excited when I saw these articles about JW’s soon to be discharge from the military (and possible new drama negotiations):

 

Spoiler

My expectations for his next drama are high, although we still have to wait until the mid/late 2019 so see his new work. 

 

 

 

It’s September 30th and Joowon’s 32th birthday!  

 

Happy birthday to this kind, hardworking and talented actor who came into my life not long ago but has already brought so much joy to my life 

 

 

Spoiler

There are so many birthday wishes to Joowon on Instagram (and all the lovely presents his fans have prepared for him! I’m sure he’ll get a lot of love today)

 

 

 

[ecs707a]

Happy birthday to our charming and talented Joo Won!! 

 

I know I haven't been here in forever.  I did rewatch Naeil's Cantabile just a week or so ago, though, so I guess I'm still a card-carrying member of the Joo Won fanclub.   (So it also makes me happy to see Go Kyung Pyo up there, too)

 

Gaaah.  I think that was the last drama of his that I really, truly liked without reservation, though.  I just wasn't so much a fan of large parts of Yong Pal and really any of My Sassy Girl.  So, we know he's incredibly versatile and it probably doesn't matter much what genre, he just needs a good script with well-written characters and I'll be totally on board for the comeback.  Soon (-ish)!

Awww. today is the day!

 

Happy Birthday Joo Won!

 

 

[Tasia]

Sorry for being late...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, deares Joo Won....

Love you then...

Love you still...

Love you forever...

 

Can't wait for you to come back from your army...

 

Stay healthy and happy! 

[moonstrike]

Hello I'm back after a long long time just stay in Instagram .

 

What should I do now? Actually after just staying in Instagram, I found many post that attract my eyes. And by the way, don't forget that we will have five days festival in just 2 days. But in my opinion, i think we don't have to wait 3 days for updates because I'm pretty sure that they will have rehearsal photos and videos tomorrow (since it's D-1). I can't wait for tomorrow.

 

The rehearsal maybe will start in the afternoon or evening like last year. As I don't post here for long time, I also forgot to say happy birthday to my favorite man here on soompi, Actor Joowon or now should I say Soldier Joowon . HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAY MY DEAR LOVELY MAN!!! I PRAY THAT GOD WILL ALWAYS BLESS YOU WITH HAPPINESS AND SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR CAREER AND ALSO LIFE!!!

 

 

 

Anyway, if we talk about Joowon now, we can't not talk about his achievements. He has a lot of achievements in the army in just 1 year and 4 months. 

 

As always, he always do everything sincerely and always working hard. He already received many achievements in the army which are: 
(1) He got first rank in his 5 weeks basic training

(2) He was promoted to be the assistant instructor

(3) He got the Special Class Soldier title [특급전사]

(4) He is choosen as the troops leader or Squad Leader [분대장]
(5) He is choosen as the front line soldier

(6) He is the best recruit

(7) He is loved by all troops there

(8) And he do all that in the most difficult Division in South Korea which is the White Skull Division. 

 

Hmm, with all that we can sure that if he is not an actor maybe he can be a perfect soldier with that great attitude and personality oh and don't forget that good looking face tho .

 

Okay now let's share pictures!

 

Who doesn't want to be treated like that? He is such a sweet and gentle man. Come on, I want to be that actress.

 

Look how that child became now. He is successful actor with many achievements and also a great soldier for his country.

 

Great fanart!

 

 

 

And this is the fanart for 2018 Ground force festival! Joowon looks so cute!

 

When you see this smile with your own eyes 

 

[green_cardigan]

I came to check if someone had shared all (or some of) the goodies from the army fest, but it appears that we spend more time in Instagram nowadays  I love reading posts here but writing a one takes so much more effort. 

 

Here are my favorites from the bunch!  

 

Spoiler

Master of eyebrow game indeed 

 

 

We all fell in love with this hairstyle on Joowon. It suits him really well and I want to see it again. Maybe..? Definitely 

 

 

More of his handsomeness 

 

 

Finger-hearts for his fans (thank you & I heart you too)

 

 

There were some of his intl fans too? Wow! He was really cute, trying to explain himself in English. And the fans were so sweet helping him out

 

 

This made me very happy... he’s coming back soon!

 

 

 

[valinor500]

@kittynawhere are you? I hope you are well, we are waiting for you, come back soon. I love your beautiful post. Many hugs from Italy!

Hi everyone..Hope you're all doing well.

February 2019 now seems closer.. I was so sad that there will be little update on Joo Won if he goes to army. But it looked like I was wrong. Due to Two army fests along with other army events, there was lot of focus on Joo Won. I'm thankful to JW fans( Both Korean and International) for going there and sharing the pics, videos and little stories with us. Thanks a Bunch(I don't if any of them ever checks on soompi forum).

 

While I was really looking forward to this years army fest, I didn't enjoy it very much. I'm not complaining...just saying..um..they performed only one group song. While last year they performed 5-6 songs. That group seemed more livelier to me. But regardless there were many videos of JW with fans and I liked those a lot, loved that JW and Go Kyung Pyo was Mc's of the event.. I know they're friends in real life as well but can't help but remember Cha Yujin and Yoo Ill Rak duo.

 

 

Hey, I just recently saw this Soompi news of 2016, where Go Kyung Pyo wanting to appear on Running Man. When asked about who he would like to appear on “Running Man” with, Go Kyung Po picked his hiking buddies Joo Won, Min Jin Woong, and Shin Joo Hwan.. all from JW's agency Huayi Brothers. 

News link: https://www.soompi.com/article/917079wpp/go-kyung-pyo-eager-appear-running-man

He was mentioned in one of JW's v-live too. They're probably talking about how they all met on SJW's birthday. 

 

I love it when friends in real life come in news together.

[flutterby06]

Also wanted to share two of my most favorite moments from army fest. (though I think I might have not seen all the videos from 2018 fest yet.)

 

This one is from Army Fest, 2108. He was showing finger heart to the audiences and saw how his co-mc smiled at their reaction. Then he cutely showed her a heart.. 

 

 

and this one is from 2017. I love how a girl shouted OPPPAAA and Joo Won automatically smiled and sang "AndeOoo.."  

 

 

I don't know How many time I replayed both scenes.

I'm curious about how Mountia goes without JW and just have a look at their website.  Huayi supplied 2 of its stars, one being the winner of the My Sassy Girl audition. The other is well-known locally.  Somehow the new portfolios give me the look and feel of a middle-age dad and his teen girl.  Never the same as JW before: youthful, radiant, relaxed and calm.  I wonder how well their sales is nowadays.  Anymore fan-signing promotions?

 

I've a feeling Mountia is waiting for Joo Won. I think that's why they chose models from Huayi Brothers. They could always pick younger and more popular model if they wanted. But they didn't. They even made a nice good bye video of JW's last photo shoot with them. 

 

 

And I think this one is from when he got news of his enlistment in February. He was having fun in Mountia set.

Regardless they are waiting for JW or not, I liked JW in Mountia cloths.. They're bright and youthful.

Hello chingudeul...

I read somewhere that our Joo Won shi will be released on 28th Feb 2019 from army..

It's a few more months from now...

Is there any news or rumours on what project he's considering for his comeback drama?

I really, really hope that he would find a good script for his comeback drama....

JW shi... comeback to the dramaland healthily.... sexily....

I miss you so so so much!!!!!

[flutterby06]

@Tasia, Hi.

Joo Won will released from Army within first week of February according to the news (can't find the news link).. And from what I saw among the celebrities to be released on 2019 from military service, Joo Won is first ... Yeeee.

I saw a video from fans from Army Fest 2018 where he was asked about new projects and he said he's reading drama scripts. So it looks like some directors/writers have been already approaching Joo Won. 

And yeah..can't wait for his return.. 

[flutterby06]

WoW...

Look what I found when I suddenly revisited this scene from My Sassy Girl Drama... SBS provided english sub to this video though they don't usually do this... I wonder why!

 

I'd like to share some video though many might've seen these but I saw that they''re not posted here.So..

1. Lee Jung Woo(He performed with JW in 2017's Army Fest) shared a story of  Joo Won and Im Si Wan on Happy Togather..The story is summerized in the IG video. If you want subtitled version, it's in YouTube. The story is fun, but what's more fun is Uee's reaction. She was laughing so hard.. May be she was thinking about Her taehui Ajusshi or may be  she was reminded of How JW used to give hard time to his hoobaes in their University days. Uee even complained on that on Happy Togather Ojakgyo Brothers episode.

 

 

2. SBS covering Army Fest 2018 news (Joo Won Cut)

Hi! Anyone here who's going to welcome Joo Won back in Feb 5? I'm still looking for fellow fans. I don't know where Joo Won's base is. 

[flutterby06]

@kleimleyz , Hello. Not sure if anyone from here will go there. But I think Joo Won supporter will be there. They have both international and Korean fans. You may contact them through Instagram. The link given bellow:
