Gong Yoo Picks His Favorite Role And Talks About Where He Thinks His “Coffee Prince” Character Ended Up

 Gong Yoo Picks His Favorite Role And Talks About Where He Thinks His “Coffee Prince” Character Ended Up

On November 19, Gong Yoo sat down for an interview with Jaejae on SBS’s YouTube show “MMTG.”

During the show, Gong Yoo talked about the past characters he had played. About the hit drama “Coffee Prince,” he said, “I think Han Kyul [his character] and Eun Kyung [Yoon Eun Hye‘s charcter] have had three kids by now. That’s just how I feel. I don’t think they’re still at the café. I think they’ve moved to the suburbs and are playing with their kids in a house with a yard.”

Gong Yoo then played a game to decide which of his characters was his favorite. He first picked between Choi Han Kyul in “Coffee Prince” and Gi Joon in “Finding Mr. Destiny.” He said, “Gi Joon is charming, but he can’t win against Choi Han Kyul.”

He then picked between Kang In Ho in “Silenced” and Seok Woo in “Train to Busan.” He said, “This one’s a bit hard. I’ll go with Kang In Ho. But this doesn’t mean I’m throwing Seok Woo away.” Picking between Kim Shin in “Goblin” and Jung Dae Hyun in “Kim Ji Young, Born 1982,” he said, “Kim Shin is too strong. I’ll go with him.”

In the finals, Gong Yoo had to pick between Choi Han Kyul and Kim Shin. He ended up picking his “Goblin” character and said, “I think that Kim Shin is the evolved and more mature form of Choi Han Kyul. Kim Shin is a character with a lot of pain. Among my characters, he’s the one with the most painful past.”

Gong Yoo is currently gearing up for the premiere of his sci-fi film “Seobok,” co-starring Park Bo Gum.

Gong Yoo talks about the roles that changed his life and reveals his favorite character

1605802347-ep.png

Gong Yoo gained keen attention when he appeared on the recent episode of SBS's YouTube show 'MMTG.'

The episode aired on November 19th KST, in which Gong Yoo appeared to promote his new movie 'Seo Bok.' 

 

During the episode, host Jaejae asked actor Gong Yoo to play a mini Olympic game in which she asked him to pick his favorite character.

 

Jaejae brought out pictures of the characters that Gong Yoo has played so far, two at a time. Then Gong Yoo was to pick between the two until he was left with only one.

 

The first choice Gong Yoo had to make was between the character 'Han Kyul' from 'Coffee Prince' and 'Gi Jun' from the movie 'Finding Mr. Destiny.'

Gong Yoo easily chose Han Kyul from Coffee Prince and stated this was an easy choice. Gong Yoo stated, "I do have affection for Gi Jun, but he's not enough to beat Han Kyul."

 

The next two characters were 'Kang In Ho' from the movie 'Silenced' and 'Seok Woo' from the movie 'Train to Busan.'

 

Gong Yoo had a hard time picking between these two characters, but in the end, he picked 'Kang In Ho' from 'Silenced.'

 

The third choice Gong Yoo had to make between two characters was between 'Kim Shin' from the drama 'Goblin' and 'Dae Hyun' from the movie 'Kim Ji young: Born 1982'. 

Gong Yoo contemplated for a bit but chose 'Kim Shin' over 'Dae Hyun.' Gong Yoo stated, "Kim Shin is too strong."

 

After choosing 'Han Kyul' over 'Kang In Ho,' Gong Yoo had to make the most difficult choice - Choosing between Coffee Prince's Han Kyul and Goblin's Kim Shin.

 

Gong Yoo thought deeply for a while and finally chose the character 'Kim Shin' as his favorite character.

 

Gong Yoo explained that he chose 'Kim Shin' because he felt the character could be a more mature version of Han Kyul. He also explained that Kim Shin was the character that experienced the most sadness from all his characters.

0_mcNh4md2AdDXRX4j5UD6LnsKrU_LB-_NrM_RtQ
Actor, Gong Yoo appeared on the most recent episode of tvN‘s You Quiz on the Block where he made the shocking revelation that he is known as a Yoo Jae Suk lookalike to some fans

On the show, Gong Yoo was praised for his forever youthful appearance.

 

People say Gong Yoo has youthful beauty. You still have the same face as when you were younger.

— Yoo Jae Suk

 

And in response, Gong Yoo shared how his facial features changed since he appeared on the hit drama, Coffee Prince back in the day.

 

My eyes were a little sharper during Coffee Prince. Now, the ends of my eyes droop a little. I originally didn’t have double eyelids, but they formed over time. It just appeared as I got older.— Gong Yoo

 

Neverthelessmost agree that Gong Yoo is crazy handsome. But he made a revelation that caught Yoo Jae Suk off guard.

I often hear people tell me that I look like Yoo Jae Suk.— Gong Yoo

 

And despite Yoo Jae Suk’s shock and laughter among the producers, Yoo Jae Suk offered his opinion on why that is.

 

There’s a photo I took during Infinite Challenge that ended up looking more like you.— Yoo Jae Suk

I think it’s because of the jaw area. Our jaws are short. And our lips protrude outward.— Gong Yoo 

 

But Yoo Jae Suk stressed that their short jaws are of different categories.

 

I wish my jaw was short in a way similar to Gong Yoo. I’m more similar to Yoon Jong Shin or Yoo Hee Yeol.— Yoo Jae Suk

Actor Gong Yoo Shares How He Believes He's Not a Type of Guy Whom Women Like

He thinks women don't really like him. 

 

Gong Yoo appeared as the special guest on the November 25th episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block.' The actor came to promote his upcoming drama 'Seobok,' in which he's paired with Park Bogum. To this, he remarked, "When I found out that I would play with Park Bogum, I thought that the promotions would go easily. However, he disappeared just like the wind." As you might have known, Park Bogum is currently completing his mandatory military service.

 

MCs Yoo Jaesuk and Jo Seho then brought up his perfect image as a man. When asked how does it feel to live as Gong Yoo, the actor replied, "I have never thought about that. I am a very normal person. Maybe people are immersed in their fantasy because of my characters in movies/dramas. However, I live an ordinary life."

 

1606364491231-1606364491231.png

 

Gong Yoo then revealed that, in real life, he is rather an introverted person. He explained, "I am often bubbly on screen. In fact, I cannot be like that in real life. It feels strange when I act like that. I even hear that some people say that I am cold."

 

1606364775888-1606364775888.png

He then commented about how he thinks that he is not the type of guy whom women like. He said, "In front of the one I like, I am not bold and I have not much courage to express my feelings."

Gong Yoo Talks About His True Personality, Friendship With Lee Dong Wook, And More

Gong Yoo Talks About His True Personality, Friendship With Lee Dong Wook, And More

On the November 25 broadcast of tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block,” Gong Yoo made a guest appearance and talked about his true self, his “Goblin” co-star Lee Dong Wook, and more!

While the hosts were catching up with the star, Jo Se Ho asked, “What is it like to live as Gong Yoo?” The actor responded, “I’ve never thought about that.” He then shared that he’s simply living a normal life and added, “There’s a certain image and fantasy that my past roles and projects have created for me, but as Gong Ji Chul [Gong Yoo’s birth name] and not Gong Yoo, I’m just normal. Nothing stands out.”

Asked about his true personality, Gong Yoo said, “I’m more absentminded than people think, and I’m not very affectionate because it makes me cringe.” He went on to compare himself to his “Coffee Prince” character, saying, “Choi Han Gyul was sweet to his family. My mother told me to be more like that in real life.”

The actor also mentioned that he’s not the type of person women prefer. He explained, “I don’t tend to be bold or courageous when it comes to love. If anything, I can only confess my feelings if I become one of my characters because it’s comfortable thinking that it’s not actually me. But being the real Gong Ji Chul is hard.”

He continued, “That’s why I enjoy acting. I get to become a character who’s not me and do everything that I couldn’t do because I was too shy or embarrassed in real life. There’s a sense of satisfaction that comes with that.”

 

Later in the episode, the hosts mentioned that they’ve heard from someone that Gong Yoo gets upset easily. Gong Yoo suspected that this “someone” was his “Goblin” co-star Lee Dong Wook. He then brought up the coffee and snack truck that Lee Dong Wook sent to the recording location of “You Quiz on the Block.”

“Why did he send that?” Gong Yoo joked. “He’s a clever one.” Gong Yoo then said, “He’s killing three birds with one stone,” describing how Lee Dong Wook is trying to win over Gong Yoo and the two hosts.

Gong Yoo went on to describe Lee Dong Wook as sly. “He’s like an actual fox,” Gong Yoo said, referring to Lee Dong Wook’s current role as a gumiho (mythical nine-tailed fox) in “Tale of the Nine-Tailed.”

The actor also shared, “I don’t get upset easily. Instead, I’d say that others often get upset because of me.” In response, Yoo Jae Suk joked, “Seeing that you have a lot to say about this, it looks like you’re actually upset.”

Nice to see Gong Yoo doing more variety shows and opening up about himself.

Even thouh ex. Gong Hyo Jin did share more of how he is personally in the past :)

Release of blockbuster'Seobok' postponed amid coronavirus scare

 
The release of South Korean science-fiction action film "Seobok" has been postponed indefinitely amid a huge, ongoing wave of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the film's distributor said Monday.

"We decided to put off the release schedule of'Seobok,' set to hit screens in December, due to the wide spread of COVID-19," CJ Entertainment said in a statement.

"Seobok" is one of the most anticipated blockbusters this year in South Korea for its subject of the first human clone and for starring two Korean heartthrobs, Gong Yoo and Park Bo-gum.

Consequently, South Korean theaters will have only two new big-budget films for the Christmas and year-end season - Warner Bros' action adventure, "Wonder Woman 1984," on Dec. 23 and Disney-Pixar's "Soul" on Dec. 25.

But Walt Disney Company Korea, the local distributor of "Soul," put off a media screening event slated for Wednesday out of concern over coronavirus transmission. It said it is not yet considering rescheduling the release of the animated film.

South Korea has been struggling with a spike in the number of novel coronavirus infections in recent weeks and will keep the level of social distancing at the second highest for the coming three weeks to flatten the curve. (Yonhap)
