Hallyu Romantic Festival

Korea’s hottest celebs including Jang Hyuk, Gong You, Yoon Kae Sang, Zo In Sung, Ji Jin Hee and Cha Tae Hyun all gathered together for the Hallyu Romantic Festival held in Japan over the weekend. Since actors usually can’t show their acting talent on stage, they prepared their own “show and tell.”

Ji Jin Hee kicked off the festival by showing off his sel-ca skills to the audience and he also celebrated his 36th birthday with his fans. Then Jang Hyuk awed the Japanese ajummas with this perfect abs and martial arts. Gong You entered the stage by singing Lee Ki Chan’s Beautiful Woman (미인), then changed into a high school uniform since he was voted as the the hallyu celeb that looks best in uniforms.

Ji Jin Hee - Happy B-day! He sure looks good for somebody born in 1971!

Jang Hyuk – gotta love those abs. I think all he did was work those abs during his military service

Gong You – he does look cute in high school uniform – can’t wait to see him in Coffee Prince!

Cha Tae Hyun and Yoon Kae Sang sang ballads, which isn’t surprising since they were singers in the past. Then, Zo In Sung finished off this heated festival by arriving on his motorcycle. Although this grand entrance was totally unnecessary, ajummas were screaming their lungs out by this extra “cool” effect. Zo In Sung also held a Q&A session so the audience has a chance to get to know him better.

Cha & Yoon – how does it feel to sing on stage again? Do you ever plan to go back to K-pop world?

Zo In Sung – is it just me, or does he look a little tired in these photos?

In addition to these hotties, many k-pop singers, such as Lee Minwoo, Shin Hye Sung, Jun Jin, SS501, Battle, Kim Jung Hoon, Howl & J, Lyn, I, etc performed on stage. Wow, what an event! Korea’s top hotties + top singers, now that’s heaven!

Jun Jin – he looks so serious whenever he’s on stage. No wonder people call him the “over man” (over the top man) and Shinhwa was definitely represented at the Romantic Hallyu Festival!

SS501 - I haven’t seen these boys for a while, but they look like they are having fun on stage.
