The banners look very pretty and good.... thanks so much for your hardwork updating them 

 

@gm4queen @Lawyerh  thanks...the update was much needed since it has been a while since I did one and he has had many projects that came long after the last update was done... The only banner that I could not change is Summer Scent's since I cannot access my external hard drive  where I keep old file related to Ji Hwan... will try to open it with an older laptop which hopefully will do the trick

actually I prefer the young KJH, he looked more dreamy. Try watching Hong Gil Dong and Fireworks. They are my favourite works after Feel Good to die

 

@nohamahamoud2002 I can totally relate with you on Hong Gil Dong and Fireworks... Hong Gil Dong will always be special for me since it was the reason that started it all for me ...hehehe... that face below is just so adorable

 

 

… and I love that hairstyle on him

This video was in celebration of Grease's 1000th performance (Ji Hwan was 2004's Danny Zuko)..they showed his picture with the hairdo iand dressed in Danny Zuko costume n the video... he also did a sit down interview/congratulatory message in the video

Thank you… appreciate it very much...saved me a lot of time searching

 @phoenix24 thank you for the info

 

This is a Rocky Horror Show performance at MNETvideo music festival...Ji Hwan is one of the dancers and was in the back; ; he was sporting a spiky hairstyle

 

 

The following pictures of Ji Hwan were taken from Rocky Horror Show backstage

 

 

 

@Lawyerh.. Ji Hwan didn't leave any impression on me when I originally watched Summer Scent either...it wasn't until years later after I discovered him in Hong Gil Dong that I learned he did a cameo in that drama.

 

This video is part of Café In (Japan performance)

 

 

[phoenix24]

haha wow not sure I would recognize him with spiky hair if you didn't mention it @jinkzzmec.  Thanks for the pícs and videos.

@phoenix24 I must have watched that video at least 30 times in the past before I realized which one Ji Hwan was

 

Here are pictures of KJH as Danny Zuko:

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

Here's another rare video of Ji Hwan, a cameo on the 2004 drama More Beautiful than a Flower

 

 

[nohamahamoud2002]

Yes I watched cafe in and rocky horror videos before. I translated KJH Wikipedia entry to Arabic so I read about all his works. I was glad I did that effort. It was my simple tribute to KJH. Imagine that he had no Arabic Wikipedia page after all these years of hard work.

 

@jinkzzmec a tip,  when you search for KJH try the Korean titles 

 

The drama that KJH was supposed to shoot in 2011 but he had a problem with his agency and they withrew the role from him it looked so good

 

 

 

[jinkzzmec]

Posting first page post here for back up in case I accidentally delete some entry while editing.

 

I think I am done with the update for now unless new info comes up … hehehe

Note from the editor of WithTG : His answers were so cute. But with our poor English, we couldn't translate exactly what he said. But please enjoy his new answers.

1. name : Kang Ji Hwan / Kang Kyoju(minister Kang) / kiss

2. sex : I guess I'm not a woman.

3. birth : 20, March, 1977.

4. blood type : B

5. family : Dad, Mom, a Sister and me

6. sizes : height : 184 cm / weight : 74 kg / waist : 32 inch / shoes 175~180 cm

7. favorite motto : I failed and failed. That's why I could succeed.

8. personality : It's very hard to define. Even I don't know me, sometimes. Whenever I acted in each drama, as I get older and older... it keeps changing.

9. How to solve stresses : I used to turn on TV and sleep. (When I woke up, I calmed down a little). I drank a lot without questioning. Nowadays.....my health isn't good as before.

10. What I dreamed : When I was a boy I used to say, "I want to be a medical doctor." because my mom wanted me to say so. After second thought, I guess
I wanted to run a video shop cause I'd love to watch videos.

11. What I dream now : (what I want in 2007) To act in a drama whose program rating is over 20%. To have a fan cafe whose members are over 50,000.

12. When I was saddest : I was a nameless actor and had no money at all in my pocket. I couldn't buy anything for mom on her birthday and I couldn't enter my house, sitting on a swing in the playground in the apartment where I lived for 2 hours. (ㅠㅠㅠㅠ)

13. When I was happiest : Because I had heard the news that politicians put money in the box to give to a powerful man, I put my first big money in two square boxes (in cash). (The boxes were for putting underwears.) I handed them to my parents' knees, holding for 2 seconds. When they opened them, surprising, smiling with tears in their eyes, watching me for 30 seconds.

14. What I regret : When I was at school, I never planned anything, did nothing special, and graduated for nothing. I wasted meaningless 6 years.

15. What I hear often : "I guess I saw you somewhere.....Are you an actor????" (Uhu~~~~~)

16. What I like to hear most : 오빠~~~~ (It means young star, in Korean.As you know)

17. What I hate to hear most : 아저씨~~~ (It means an old, married man. It's real meaning is different from an uncle.)

18. My ideal type : A woman who has pretty hands, feet.

19. Now, girl friend? : No. (I don't have one)

20. Am I flirtatious : Guess!!!

21. When I get married : about 35 years old?

22. How old she must be : I've never considered about older one. If she isn't too young.

23. Attractions in your memory : To take pictures I went to Saipan. I've never been to place like that. It was like pictures. In such place, I spent every night crying for having no girl friend.

24. Where I want to visit : Phuket. One of my friends moved and runs a spa. I keep saying to go there someday. (But I don't still have a chance to.)

25. What I want to bring when I'm in a manless island. : wireless Internet, girl friend, beer.

26. What I'm interested in most. : 경성스캔들 (Scandal of Kyungsung, (old name of Seoul)

27. What life I want to live : To achieve what people around me and I want to, smiling happily.
28. If I were to be born again. : Well, Yonsama? Actually, I've never thought. I will think about it sincerely this time.

29. If the world were to be destroyed. : I will notice at the KHS.

30. What I want to say to KHS* : The drama, 경성스캔들 that my fourth and
after 구사시, a long-four-month vacuum in my heart, will be made on
7, May. My ex-drama hurt my feeling so much, I hesitated which drama
to choose. But I've just got the script 10 days before the shooting.
It's my first historical drama, I'm busy with one thing or another.
Taking a prudent attitude isn't always good, I guess. I feel keenly the
necessity of your help.

Please Help Me~~~~ (I'm saying like an anteater)

One that is worth a hundred, you guys clicked for me each event in Chiname i
I appreciate. Finally, congratulation the new beginning of the Webzin.
I also appreciate the managers who always work hard, you members who
join all the events.

*KHS = Kang Ham Sa. It refers to WithTG (KJH official Korean fansclub) but I think it is also the name given to KJH legion of fans.

not only that, he also gets on very well with all the crew, in the final shootings in Feel Good to Die and others works, he always hugs the cameramen and other technicians. He is a very warm person.

[phoenix24]

oh @Lawyerh can't wait.  Looks like a lot of fun.  

[nohamahamoud2002]

Wow thanks @Lawyerh for tagging me. I am glad KJH  doesn't have a long hair seems the time slip is clear here

@nohamahamoud2002 yes, I totally agree with you … he seems like a very warm person... he was really nice when I met him in person...that is something that I will cherish for a very long time...although, I do not mind meeting him again in the future... too bad all my trips to Korea does not seem to coincide with his birthday fanmeet

Awwwww dear! So you are already watching it!  Yeah, I know that he is so chubby at 1st & so handsome at 2nd!!  But did you notice that he is wearing earrings or something here..???!  His hair style also seems like a girl!!! Hah haaaaa.... I think we all should watch it!!!

 

[gm4queen]

 My dear @Lawyerh & @nohamahamoud2002 lovelies!!  

 

I've already watched the first 50mins of Runway Cop & it's so funny & intense at the same time! KJH is really a hard working actor!! His acting is so funny as the chubby guy & he is so handsome as the decent tall guy!  The plot is so interesting! But I can't watch the whole movie at a single blow as I might run out of my wifi data! So I will gradually watch the rest & come back! The 1st impression is great!!!  I love his attitude!!

 

 

Thanks a lot for making me interested in watching it lovelies!!!  Your oppa is smoking hot!!!
