[News] Ji Hyun Woo plans a farewell party

                                              

Actor and singer Ji Hyeon-woo will meet fans one last time on Sunday before entering the Army on Aug. 7.

Ji's agency announced he will meet with about 500 fans as a sort of "farewell event" at Bear Hall in Samsungdong, southern Seoul.

Next month, the 27-year-old will enter a training facility in Chuncheon, Gangwon province. He was supposed to enter July 3, but had to postpone the date because of medical treatments.

"We submitted the request to the Military Manpower Administration on June 28 and were granted the postponement until he receives the medical attention needed", said a spokesperson from Ji's agency earlier this month.

The star's agency said the actor was hurt while shooting scenes on horseback for the drama in which he also found love with his co-star Yoo In-na. It is unknown whether she will be there Sunday.

On his Web site Ji called the fan meet "my last concert in my 20s. See you there!"

[Cyworld] Ji Hyun Woo post 7.10.2012

잘 지냈소~?!

난 잘 지내고 있소.

실로 오랜만에 일상으로 돌아가...소소하고

따듯한 삶을 보내고 있소.

20대...요즘들어 돌아보면 참으로 알차게 살아왔소.

남 부럽지 않게 열심히 일을 했고,

어떻게 보면 미련할 정도로까지 일이란 걸 해왔소.

남들이 볼 때 왜 저렇게 까지 할까...라는 의문도 많이 들었겠지만...

실은 나 조차도 하기 싫은 일들도 있었소.

이제와 생각해 보면 내가 느끼기에

20대라는 나이에 매력은 하기 싫은 것 도,

해보면서 견딜 수 있는 나이가 아닌 가 싶소...

그 안에서 뭔가 배울 점이 단 하나라도 있으면 그걸 믿고 버틸 수 있는 나이...

하기 싫은 것 도 해봐야, 좋은 것을 했을 때...

'좋다' 라는 단어를 정확하 게 이해할 수 있는 것 같소...

 

지현우의  20대...

이 글을 읽고 있는 그대들을 만나 정말 행복했소.

정말 진심으로 고맙소...이 고마움은 반드시 살면서 보답하겠소.

내가 20대의 마지막으로 그대들에게 해줄 수 있는 게 뭔가 생각을

해봤소.

그래서... 고민 끝에 작은 음악회를 해보려고 하오...

적지 않은 시간동안 묵묵히 날 응원해주고 아껴준 그대들과 함께,

지현우의 20대 마지막 음악회를 하려고 하니,

우리 7월 22일 날 만납시다.

 

P/S 자세한 상황은 지현우 닷 컴 으로^.~

How have you been doing?
I've been doing well.
Coming back to normal life…I've been living a warm and cozy life.
My 20s…When I look back at it now, I've lived it to the fullest.
I've worked harder than anyone else,
almost to the point of being foolish.
People may have been curious about why I lived liked this...
Truthfully, there were things that I didn't want to do.
When I think about it now,
the charm of the 20s is having to do the things that you don't want to do
and enduring them.
In your 20s you believe that there is something to learn by doing that so you can endure it…
You have to have done things you didn't want to do in order to understand what  "good" means when you do something that is good.

Ji Hyun Woo's 20s…
I am happy to have met those of you who are reading this.
I am truly thankful…I will repay that gratefulness.
I thought about what I could do for you while I am in my 20s.
So after much thought, I will hold a small concert.
With those of you who have quietly supported and cherished me,
I'll be holding a concert for the last time in my 20s.
Let's meet July 22.

[Cyworld] Ji Hyun Woo's Translated post dated 2.7.2012

As Much as You Hurt, You Grow Mature and Deep...!

Joo Hyung Tae 2012.02.07

The lengthy post was erased…

Curse words came out without me knowing…

Anyway, I worked hard…

No other project was as emotionally difficult as this one.

For the first time in my life, my *face turned inside out…

Like something that can't be seen on the outside…Like a wisdom tooth

It hurt like that…

Of course I think I learned as much as I suffered.

Everyone goes through this kind of thing…

I will rest and settle my heart!

I will run happily toward my dream!

**Eu-rah-cha-cha-cha!!!!

P.S. Ah…my post…Through the pain felt when my post written with care got deleted I learned once again…You mature as much as you hurt!!! I won’t make the same mistake again… Always positively!!!

*I’m not positive about this phrase so I just wrote down the literal translation. But I think it means that he got so angry that he lost his sanity for a moment. My remember my mother using it in that kind of context.

**Sound Koreans make to symbolize gathering power. Sort of like “Fighting!”

[NEWS] Ji Hyun Woo Attends Get-Together for Yoo In Na’s Radio Show

The Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na couple seem to be set on becoming the sweetest couple ever. Ji Hyun Woo even appeared at a get-together for his lover Yoo In Na’s radio show, KBS 2FMYoo In Na’s Volume Up.

After going public with their relationship, the couple has been popping up in various locations, such as IU’s concert or random areas in Seoul. As Ji Hyun Woo’s enlistment was postponed due to an injury he suffered after he fell off his horse while filming tvN’s Queen In Hyun’s Man, the lovey-dovey eyewitness accounts are expected to continue for a while.

Whenever the two have been caught dating, netizens have shown their support for the couple with comments such as, ‘Such a sweet couple’, ‘Oh? I love this couple’ and ‘Their love is like one that appears in a drama.’

Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na met through Queen In Hyun’s Man, and the couple first drew attention when Ji Hyun Woo made a surprise confession at a fanmeeting for the drama.

10 days later, the two were found dating at a park, and Yoo In Na acknowledged through her radio show that they were seeing each other, marking the birth of a new public star couple.

[News] Yoo In Na asks Ji Hyun Woo to quit smoking

After a dramatic turn of events, Yoo In Na recently acknowledged that she was in a relationship with Ji Hyun Woo, signalling the end to the story that seemed straight out of a K-drama.

                                               

However, it seems there is one wrinkle to iron out of their relationship, and Yoo In Na raised the question on her radio show, ‘Raise the Volume‘, where she had also officially acknowledged their courtship.

“Ji Hyun Woo-ssi, if you’re hearing this, please stop smoking like you promised. Smoking is bad for your body,” she asked her new boyfriend on the broadcast.

In response, a listener posted a response, saying, “Ji Hyun Woo-ssi, are you listening? Millions of ‘Volume’ family are watching you”.

Backed by her listeners, Yoo In Na playfully threatened Ji Hyun Woo that this was serious business. “If you smoke, I’m sure somebody will be able to tell me,” she added, bringing cheerful laughter to the radio booth.

[NEWS] Yoo In Na confirms that she is dating Ji Hyun Woo

After making headlines for over a week following Ji Hyun Woo‘s public confession, and a suspicious stroll through the park together, actress Yoo In Na finally admitted that she and Ji Hyun Woo have started dating.

On June 18th, Yoo In Na opened up her radio program KBS COOL FM ‘Yoon In Na’s Volume Up‘ by stating, “There is something I would like to say on ‘Volume’ today.”

“I knew that this would obviously affect my work, so I was extremely cautious,” she began. “Before thinking about the end result, I asked myself if this was the kind of love that I could attempt. If I wasn’t completely confident, then my work would have been that much harder, but I found that confidence.”

“I agonized over this for about ten days, and we decided to simply and purely respond to our hearts,” she continued. “Two days ago, I called Ji Hyun Woo who calmly waited for me through a very anxious situation, and while we were walking in the park, we decided that he will stop being ‘In Hyun’s Man’ and instead, start being ‘Yoo In Na’s Man’.”

Yoo In Na cautiously admitted their relationship and added, “I like him, I am confident. He gave me that confidence. I want to be in a beautiful relationship, more than anyone else.”

Congratulations to Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo!
