I don't know if you guys have seen this video, but it claims to show the most popular Kdrama actors according to online searches, I guess. Scanned it and I noticed the distinct absence of JH. Now, I'm not claiming that JH is the most popular actor ever- he doesn't do enough rom coms for that <_< but for sure he needs to appear around 2010, right? They also did a similar vid for shows and actresses, and there I noticed Chuno didn't appear, but FTLY did appear (as You are my destiny) , strangely enough in 2014 and 2019 (I guess that COVID-19 made the show popular again), so there was a surge for JNR at those times, but again- JH is no where to be found in this list. Clearly whoever did the list didn't even include JH in the search he did. I made a comment and got a reply- maybe they will update the vid, as I saw they already updated the actresses vid. But this again raises my bafflement with JH's name being easily missed. This to me is clearly an extension of the lack of promotion we often see for his projects. Whose to blame? The Korean media? The fact that JH is married? or simply the lack rom coms in his repertoire?

 

edit: got an answer- they indeed forgot to add him to their search... :blink: And also added a link comparing his popularity to JNR. Interesting to see in which countries he is more popular...

 

Their answer:

sorry we forgot to add him. Here's a graph that shows his popularity: tinyurl.com/29rmajjo

Jang Hyuk, Minho, Kang Daniel, Choi Ji Man..."Law of the Jungle" Official Poster Revealed

 

"Law of the Jungle" will premiere on the 20th Feb. In "Law of the Jungle-Pioneers," it depicts the Byeongman tribe who survives on a remote island where people have left by using abandoned houses. The Byung-man family is planning to launch a 72-hour survival drama that will grow through the passion of pioneering and passionate companionship.

 

The Byeongman tribe's survival site is a small island in Goheung, Jeollanam-do. The theme of this survival is to use the things left behind from abandoned houses and closed schools, where people's traces are disappearing and there are only weeds and spider webs, and to pioneer a survival site. In addition, they had to survive in the freezing cold weather, where the temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius at night.

 

In this episode of "The pioneers," all the super-special performers who have been "steamed" for a long time by "Law of the Jungle," but have rarely seen their faces, will appear.

 

First of all, Jang Hyuk, a "genius of charismatic action," responded to the "Jungle Love Call" for the first time in 10 years. Jang Hyuk is rumored to have made the production team's tongue stand out, boasting a legendary stamina that does not mind crossing the island by climbing high trees and building ships.

 

It was followed by SHINee Minho, who is indispensable when it comes to "enthusiasm," special forces-turned-trot singer Park Gun, and major leaguer Choi Ji-man, who challenged domestic entertainment for the first time, musical actor Ham Yeon-ji, Michelin Chef Song Hoon, actor Shin Seung-hwan, and comedian Choi Sung-min. Pioneers in different fields are expected to show their passion for survival as well as their extraordinary chemistry.

 

"Law of the Jungle" will premiere at 8:55 p.m. on 20th Feb night.

My first thought when I saw this- Oh, no! JH is gonna die... :crazy: Doesn't he really hate the cold?! :PAnd also- thinking about his tent building skills that he showed in Yacht Expedition... ah... Doesn't look like he's very experienced with the outdoors :sweat_smile: And then I think about how he was in Real men, and I'm thinking- he's gonna be just fine. I hope...

I also am not pleased that we still don't have news of a new acting project.... I adore him, but I want to see him act!

Haha  I think he will be alright. Apparently this show used to be shot overseas but now because of the pandemic, they have moved it to shoot locally. So i think it should not be so hard?

The article talked about abandoned buildings and closed schools - i think maybe not so much outdoor this time given the weather? Anyway he is old enough, I am not worrying about him haha..

 

I wonder how many episodes will this be? It says 72 hours means they spent 3 days filming.

 

Would prefer some drama or movie news too, but just got to make do, better than nothing ..

From an interview with Kim Ryun Hee CP (what's a cp?) , who worked with JH in Voice and TMWYS (the translation is from this IG post https://www.instagram.com/p/CK0GyANJXOW/:

 

Interview of Kim Ryun Hee CP mentioned @ajincome .

-You worked with various actors in various works. Including "#luca,", do you have a favorite actor?

 #JangHyuk of '#tellmewhatyousaw ' and Kim Jae Wook of ‘ The Guest'. Besides the two actors, the others are good too.

Jang Hyuk has a perfectionist side of learning. He digs into his character to the point where he says it's too much. So I can trust him for any character and leave it to him. The director, writer, and producer have been agonizing over the script before mentioning the details of the character. Sometimes people say, "He thought too hard." In that sense, I want to say that the actor prepares the character perfectly.

I don’t worry because he already filmed it and he is fine. But, I do worry about these shows in any country but more in Asia. Remember that chinese actor who died doing these type of shows? Of course, even breathing is dangerous these days so why worry right? Lol I just want to see him again

Haha they don't always get fed so well though.  JH also hate starving.  However, they are also a lot more experienced now.  Still happy to hear at least get to see him soon.

Even breathing is dangerous lol. Yeah, u r so right. :joy: The actor from Taiwan wasn't filming so intense I think? But I think hyukie takes good care of himself and is a very healthy young man. He will be fine.

I watched a bit but found it boring, maybe i wasn't into the actors in the episode I tried. I am confident I can watch this if hyukie is in it. Lol.

What comforts me is that it has already been filmed so it's not gonna affect any project he might be considering, and also the fact that there are two friends with him- Both Shin Seung-hwan and Minho, that is part of the shy club. This means that we will get a much more comfortable JH, that usually makes him sassier, like he was in Friends in Croatia. JH and Shin Seung-hwan together are hilarious! :) 

 

Also- thinking about- is this going to be for JH a long commercial for Westwood, like the fishing show was?! :D
