Hi all,

I've just started to know JJH after watching "Princess Lulu" few weeks ago. I really like his way of acting! I've just done a little search on him on yahoo and found out a web about him. This web is in Chinese but has lots of photos and clips...

JJH looks thinner judging from the bts pictures of his new drama 'Last Scandal'. That's the leading lady????!!!!!! Saw his latest film 'Swindler in my mother's house' 2 days ago and sadly to say it was a crappy film... i could'nt be bothered watching it until the end.

Seoul to Offer Classes for Disadvantaged

By Kim Tae-jong

Staff Reporter

The Seoul Metropolitan Government and Kyung Hee University will join hands to provide a program to help the homeless and other underprivileged overcome their hardship, beginning today.

The main lecturers of the classes in the program will be professors from the university, but movie stars Jung Joon-ho and Kim Sun-ah, novelist Gong Ji-young and poet Doh Jong-hwan will also participate in the program, the city government said Monday.

The six-month course to help people start a new life will be offered to the homeless, migrant workers and other people from minority groups.

Figures from the literary world will tell the students how they wrote their works after overcoming hardship and movie stars will explain to them how they reached stardom.

``Along with the classes by university professors, these celebrities' personal life stories will help the underprivileged get their lives back and motivate them to lead a better life,'' a city official said.

The lecture series will be given in four separate classes that take a total of 100 students.

One of the four classes will be designed specially for the homeless who will have a ceremony at an institute for the homeless in Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

Other classes will be available at town halls or welfare centers and each class will be held twice a week. The first program will end in September.

Kyung Hee will issue a student card to those who enroll the program to allow them access to libraries and other school events.

I've noticed him in Princess Lulu, though his role in that drama is not that special but watching PLL i've already have the feeling that he is very potential, which we can see him in Last Scandal. I then started to search info about him but what a pity, there's not so much Eng info about him and he is not that famous outside Korea and in my country.....! And yes, the more i get to know about him, the more i like him too not as a good actor with handsome look but also as good person!

Tks for your pics, baima22 ! I hope this thread will get more support from all of you!

[Guest baima22]

Interview with Jung Jun-ho (March 4, 2008), who stars as Song Jae-bin in Last Scandal

Last Scandal, a weekend TV drama, airs on MBC at 9:40 pm. Actor Jung Jun-ho plays Song Jae-bin, a movie star, in Last Scandal, and we were able to catch up with him at the press conference for Last Scandal that was held on March 4th at the Dream Center in Ilsan, Korea.

▷ Could you tell us about the character you play?

Jung Jun-ho: First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming here on such a cold spring day. I play a snobbish character called Song Jae-bin who also happens to be a movie star. My character can’t forget his high school sweetheart and in the very first episode, he meets her for the first time in 20 years. But it turns out that she changed a lot appearance-wise and personality-wise, and this disappoints him a lot. I actually had a real-life experience like that when I went to my high school reunion. I met the girl who I used to have a crush on back then and found out she was married with two children. She looked very different from how I recalled her. So I can totally relate to the situation that my character is in. Eventually, my character finds true love after meeting his high school sweetheart and changes his old ways. I play the love interest of a 40-year-old housewife and rekindle a youthful romance with her. I expect our show to do pretty well. Perhaps, viewers will get to see one of my finest performances ever. (laughs)

▷ Why did you choose this role?

Jung Jun-ho: Choi Jin-shil gave me a call one day and suggested that I take the role. Without reading the script, I told her I’d play the role. When I got the script later, I loved it. As an actor, I’ve still got a lot to learn and to have someone of her stature to personally call me and offer me a role is a great honor. I admire her for that. I don’t think I could ever do that myself.

▷ What was hard about playing your character?

Jung Jun-ho: I didn’t find it hard to play my role. Since my character is a movie star, viewers will get to see the kind of life that actors live. You’ll see typical things that actors do in their lives and careers. My character is constantly working out to stay in shape and he’ll also have his personal assistant in tow wherever he goes. The times when he goes to publicity events and behaves around the movie set are pretty close to reality. His personal life is also shown in a gritty detail. I sort of felt that the show was revealing too much stuff about the lives of celebrities. Shooting each scene is a breeze and I’ll try to deliver a fine acting performance.

▷ In the show preview, we see you get slapped by Choi Jin-shil. How did that feel?

Jung Jun-ho: In scenes like that, most actresses will hesitate to slap their co-stars. But Choi Jin-shil slapped me so hard on the first take that I got a little agitated about shooting future scenes like that in upcoming episodes (laughs). But to be honest, it’s easier to work on the set with her because she likes to keep it real. I was impressed with how she just goes ahead and does things with such confidence (laughs). I hope she’ll continue to do a great job for the rest of the season.

▷ You play a snobbish celebrity but tell us what you’re like in real life.

Jung Jun-ho: I treat people with respect. Don’t I? (laughs) You need gravitas and a commanding presence in this business in order to survive. So wherever you go, you have to be confident and have a swaggering attitude. Some people will view you as being strong while others will take it the other way and say you’re being cocky and rude.

▷ You said you were planning on getting married someday. When will that happen?

Jung Jun-ho: They say I’m always in the first row of a group photo taken at a celebrity’s wedding. (laughs) I guess I’ll just have to work less and spend more time looking for someone special.

▷ You haven’t been involved in any scandals so far.

Jung Jun-ho: I was caught several times having lunch or dinner with a female friend by the paparazzi. But somehow it never broke out into a scandal. I think I’m a good actor. (laughs)

▷ We heard that you substantially lowered your acting fee. How much are you getting paid?

Jung Jun-ho: I lowered it to the figure that the production company was offering me. As I get older, I somehow keep giving in to other people. (laughs) Starring in a TV show means more to me than money. Of course it’s great to make some money in the process. (laughs) Because A-list actors are asking for a lot of money, it’s getting harder for the studios to hire good supporting actors. You can’t make a decent TV show with just the leading actor. I’m aware that there are a lot of obstacles that studios face when they’re making a TV show for the networks. So I think actors should try to understand the plight of the studio and share the risks. If actors and studios give in to each other’s demands a little then I think the business environment will become healthier for everyone.
