Taking a break from Shinheung ~ The Musical.  This one was going to be for Boss's Day, but I am late.  Enjoy anyway.

 

This is from his Marie Claire Magazine shoot; that leg tattoo has always been just too intriguing.

Ah, yes, I am a little slow on the uptake, celebrating his 10th Anniversary since his official debut in the entertainment world.  Not only am I slow on the uptake, my little offering is - right now anyway - only the First Five Years!!    The rest of the years will be along shortly.  With luck, I'll get them finished before he gets discharged.  This was so much fun for me, so I hope you enjoy it, too.  And I, like all his other fans, hope this first ten years is just the start.  I want there to be 10 years after that, then another 10 years, and another and another..........Also, to think that this poster only represents drama and film.  There's no accounting here for the commercials, magazines, music videos, etc.  This man has been BUSY!!

Finally I have finished the poster for THE SECOND FIVE YEARS OF THE FIRST TEN YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT WITH JI CHANG WOOK!!!  Please enjoy.

 

 

Many thanks as always to @cherkellfor keeping everyone on task and target for getting those tickets for the last few performances of Shinheung Military School ~ The Musical. Even though I cannot go, I am so happy for those of you who can make the trip.

Hello to all......Ji Chang Wook has the most distinctive walk!  I'm sure you've noticed it, too.   It is my contention that if you were suddenly, magically transported to a strange city at night and set down on a foggy street, and a man came walking toward you out of the gloom, and if he walked like this, you would know instantly who he was:

 

 

I wanted to try prove my theory so I made this GIF from bits and pieces of him walking on red carpets (to get some well-deserved reward or another), and tried to erase all personal characteristics, just to isolate "The Walk."  Yes.  No mistaking the posture, the cadence, the easy swing of arms and legs, the tilt of the head.  Ji Chang Wook is the international poster boy for confidence and self-esteem.

I would have thought we might hear or see something by now from the free concert performed on November 20th:  The "Independence Army Arirang: Song of Hope" as mentioned above, but nothing yet.  At least, nothing that I could find.  So, to keep filling time between Shinheung concerts (there are still a few more to be held) I am being fascinated by Actor Ji's calm and easy method of getting from one place to another.  That is, when he is not running, which he does very often also.  But now, just more walking.  Please enjoy.

While working on a second example of Wook Walking, I realized that both of these last two examples came from fanvids taken of him while he was in an airport going somewhere important, so I finished up this second example with an airplane theme.  Enjoy, please.

 

 

Also you might enjoy this music, which contains, IMHO,  some of the niftiest lyrics ever written.  Yes, I am reverting to thinking in song lyrics again.   But words like these are appropriate when Actor Ji is hard in the clutches of the Army of Korea.  Must we scream and yell til we're blue?  Come back......... (Lyrics provided.)

Or, here's another appropriate song when Ji Chang Wook goes off somewhere on a plane.

One of my favorite interviews.  It highlights a recurrent theme in his career........for his mental health he thinks like a child.  "You know, when you are simpleminded, you forget things quickly...."  I don't know if you can see the captions clearly here, so I am giving a link to the original interview.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idVhzEjFRlU .  Please enjoy.

 

[MyStars]

Continuing the Like A Child theme.......because it is interesting and obviously important to him, and to his creative process.  More pictures, a GIF, and even some music!  Please enjoy.

https://youtu.be/UROfMd94_QI ~ This YouTube link just shows him onstage singing.  The man has incredible stage presence!  My black and white renderings are from this video......a KBS video.

 

https://youtu.be/U6s0IKwg6QQ ~ This last link is for another KBS interview in 2017.  The GIF insert is from this delightful piece.
