Bae Yongjoon is turning into an ajuma

Yonsama3

What is the basis for this assertion? Well, nothing really except that actor Bae Yongjoon (aka Yonsama) is starting to freak me out with his feminine hairstyle, softened face (he was more rugged & manly looking at the beginning of his career) and his femmy hands. Actually, what’s even more freaky is that he reminds me of the gloved one, Michael Jackson. I even saw Mr. Bae waving to the crowd in gloved hands… now if only I could find the picture….

Mr. Bae was spotted at his manager’s wedding at the Lotte Hotel on October 7th, 2007.

    I don’t know what to say about this one.
    Can you really call him ‘manly’ though?
    You girls confuse me, with your gay-lookig types!
    What can I say???

  3. 3 DM October 9, 2007 at 9:48 am

    *looking

  4. 4 lucii October 9, 2007 at 9:52 am

    Ugh, get a haircut please.

  5. 5 se7enfan October 9, 2007 at 9:59 am

    agreed…the hotness that was BYG has left the building. Why does he look different.

  6. 6 Aya October 9, 2007 at 10:07 am

    *agree*

  7. 7 Sang Kyu October 9, 2007 at 10:12 am

    HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA YES!

  8. 8 eli October 9, 2007 at 10:35 am

    LOL. i’d mistook him for a woman if you didnt say that he’s Bae Yong Jun!
    really!!

  9. 9 lolo October 9, 2007 at 10:41 am

    same here too Eli..I thought it was a female…

    can’t he have a short hair or something… he should have a hair cut that’s suit with his age…

  10. 10 christaluvsdrama October 9, 2007 at 10:45 am

    A difference of opinions here, but to me he always looks manly. I luv that type of hairstyle btw, but not that long…to the neck preferably or shoulders is oky. A lot of ppl like him this way if you watch the mags or on TV

  11. 11 Moku October 9, 2007 at 10:48 am

    Another Michael J. lookalike. Maybe BHJ and Rain should hook up. They would be gayest couple in Korea. They both deserve each other. And to all the chicks who think both these gay guys are hot. Wait till they drop their pants. It sure will not get hard unless your a guy standing in front on them naked.

  12. 12 Samrt Girl October 9, 2007 at 10:55 am

    His hair is long for his new historical drama…

  13. 13 yeoreum October 9, 2007 at 11:09 am

    am not bothered at all… but hed look hotter if hed grow some facial hair…

  14. 14 daneil October 9, 2007 at 11:33 am

    he can’t get a haircut

    if you didn’t know hes in a historical drama that requires long hair.

  15. 15 kris October 9, 2007 at 11:34 am

    I know he’s an ajuma killer but he’s obviously turning one himself… ^o^

  16. 16 rocketfuel October 9, 2007 at 11:35 am

    He still looks like the Korean Harry Potter.

  17. 17 Dumpling October 9, 2007 at 11:45 am

    Oh come on. He is gorgeous. And the hair is long because he’s still filming that period drama. So he’s having some fun with a new style while it lasts–big deal. But “femmy hands”? Now you’re just looking for something to pick at. He doesn’t have femmy hands. His hands are average and normal. And it’s too bad when a person with black hair and waving with their right hand (oh, the HORROR) is automatically compared to Michael Jackson. Not fair. Low blow.

    What I’m confused about is why he wore a T-shirt to a WEDDING???

  18. 18 November October 9, 2007 at 11:58 am

    Holy smokes! His hair is more voluminous than mine… o_o

  19. 19 YaHa October 9, 2007 at 12:03 pm

    i was thinking he looked like MJ before even reading what you wrote XD

  20. 20 hannah October 9, 2007 at 1:02 pm

    Wow, he does look a lot like an ajumma and MJ ! HELP!

  21. 21 Yeppeda October 9, 2007 at 1:11 pm

    whatever!! I love him anyway
    I don’t like his new style either but what can I do??…..hehehe

  22. 22 Mushroom Girl October 9, 2007 at 1:15 pm

    nooo he’s fine.. i <3 his hair lah.

  23. 23 Kitsch October 9, 2007 at 1:41 pm

    Is anyone else freaked out by the guy staring into their souls from over Bae Yongjoon’s shoulder in the top picture?

  24. 24 KoreanfanaticAgassi October 9, 2007 at 1:44 pm

    BYJ prettier than me.
    Okay with me, still like him.

  25. 25 blah October 9, 2007 at 1:53 pm

    i never got the hype about byj in winter sonata. his dye-job was just not working for me. in my opinion, he looked the hottest in “first love”. he was manly in that drama. :)

  26. 26 AIL October 9, 2007 at 2:09 pm

    mmhmm exactly what i was thinking…pre-surgery he had this clean cut and very prim image to him but he shaved his jaws and now his face kind of droops and it’s unappealing…AND i noticed a couple days ago when sung si kyung came out on a college singing competition…but it looks like he underwent jaw reduction too o_O GROSS

  27. 27 YooYoo October 9, 2007 at 2:38 pm

    He’s still a korean superstar. Whatever looks, he has now, i think he can carry it. And bcoz he’s filming a historical drama that his character needs to have a long hair.

  28. 28 uh...are you stupid? October 9, 2007 at 2:52 pm

    MY GOD!!!!! He has his freakin hair like that for a reason!!! He’s in a feakin historical drama and is not allowed to cut his hair! I’m sorry but the people who make fun of other people without truly understanding that situation make me sick. Leave the poor guy alone, god.

  29. 29 lazybum October 9, 2007 at 3:02 pm

    i hope he wasn’t prettier than the bride at the wedding… that wouldn’t be so good…

  30. 30 jo_TVXQ October 9, 2007 at 3:08 pm

    is it the manager wedding year????
    2 manager marry in least than 2 months!!!!!
    i enjoy the legend ost more than the drama!!!

  31. 31 DM October 9, 2007 at 3:22 pm

    uh…are you stupid?:

    Calm down, will ya? I think you’re taking all our jokes/comments way too seriously… Relaaaax.

  32. 32 uhuh October 9, 2007 at 3:22 pm

    get a haircut yonsama!!! but his face is still gorgeous!

  33. 33 lalala October 9, 2007 at 4:20 pm

    he’s starting to look like a korean michael jackson…. freaky

  34. 34 jackie October 9, 2007 at 6:12 pm

    oh my gawd!!!

    no, oh gawd, no!!!

    ajumas love other ajumas curling their hair, hahahahah!

  35. 35 bt October 9, 2007 at 8:12 pm

    never like him and this picture is not helping.

  36. 36 Lana October 9, 2007 at 8:43 pm

    That man is still fine. The only thing that’s changed from ‘02 is his hair.

  37. 37 daewanghumamaroxy October 9, 2007 at 9:42 pm

    Oh well Popseoul, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my dear.

    In my case, I don’t think he looks one since he manages to stay gorgeous in everything he wears.

    And oh, by the way, what can you say now that BYJ’s THE LEGEND continuously soaring high in ratings, contrary to your fearless prediction that his series will flop? You better go and check the ratings…

  38. 38 Naqiyyah October 9, 2007 at 10:19 pm

    Awww MAN!! I liked him!! Well actually my mum is a fan of him :p

  39. 39 latifah October 9, 2007 at 11:30 pm

    tsk tsk tsk popseoul you’re getting to be soooo boring and predictable…same with your usual faithful band of byj haters…same old same old negative comments on bae yong joon…can’t you think of something else to write about byj? be an intelligent writer for once ? please????

    btw, BAE YONG JOON IS THE BEST !!!!!

  40. 40 JP October 9, 2007 at 11:40 pm

    He is prettier than ALL the brides of the many weddings he attends and he stands right behind them in the pics! Not sure I would invite him. 100 Japanese ladies went to the hotel just to see HIM

  41. 41 JP October 9, 2007 at 11:47 pm

    Not jaw surgery just lost a lot of weight since 10 years ago
    He was much bulkier. Love him anyway and don’t know why,

  42. 42 ew October 9, 2007 at 11:54 pm

    What??? He looked so boyishm frail and nerdy in his beginning of career [Papa, First Love, Salut D Amor Days] and I say he looks more manly and rugged now. Have U even seen those 90s drama of BYJ popsy??? Well, I guess you didnt coz his looks now is much much more better back in the 90s (:

  43. 43 Raye October 10, 2007 at 1:40 am

    Now this is someone who is gay! But oddly enough he is kind of hott.

  44. 44 Meru October 10, 2007 at 2:23 am

    Nah, doesn’t look like MJ, don’t know what people are on to see the resemblence. Having well-groomed long hair doesn’t take away masculinity, if he’s going to have long hair for work, might as well keep it under control. Same with the pale skin, isn’t that trademark of most Koreans? Esp if he’s acting in a historical drama where Korea doesn’t have tan beds and fake tan machines yet.

  45. 45 Dumpling October 10, 2007 at 5:19 am

    @ Meru:

    What are you even talking about with the tanning beds and pale skin?? Bae isn’t even pale. He’s clearly tanned in these photos–as he should be considering he’s been filming outdoors for a year.

  46. 46 dustbunny October 10, 2007 at 8:00 am

    Get a haircut ajosshi

  47. 47 soju October 10, 2007 at 8:07 am

    me no likey shiny suits. o_O

  48. 48 ed October 10, 2007 at 8:22 am

    mmm all stallions need their long manes, right? ;)

    @latifa, how popular is BYJ among muslims?

  49. 49 Rayne October 10, 2007 at 9:05 am

    what the freak is up with korean guys and wanting to be metro?? O.O
    i mean, some guys (LIKE MY BELOVED LEE JUN KI) can pull off slight girlyness, but WOAH.

    pathetic old geezer *hack*

  50. 50 Meru October 10, 2007 at 11:04 am

    That’s tan? Oooho, my bad. Most Koreans/Japanese naturally have light skin, you know, back in the day where they don’t have tanning beds to get that fake tan look that’s popular with celebrities now. I’m not gonna insult you if you think he has a tan, just laugh a little.

  51. 51 Dumpling October 10, 2007 at 12:07 pm

    If you can’t see with your own two eyes that this man is tanned then you are only insulting yourself–you’re not insulting me. Believe me, I don’t feel insulted because you can’t see what’s in front of you. He’s been filming a period drama OUT DOORS FOR A YEAR and you are going to sit there and say he’s pale and something is wrong with ME because I’m seeing a tanned person. Good grief. I really question the intelligence level of some of the people in here.

  52. 52 Meru October 10, 2007 at 12:15 pm

    Haha, dito, only I don’t think it’s your intelligence that’s lacking, just your eyesight. Have you heard of something called sunscreen? Don’t get your panties twisted all over this, if you’re so dead on proving yourself right then make your own blog.

  53. 53 Dumpling October 10, 2007 at 12:58 pm

    Sunscreen protects from sun DAMAGE, it does not protect from sun TAN…and certainly not for hours and hours of sun exposure. But keep trying though if you need so badly to believe Bae Yong Joon is pale.

  54. 54 Narae October 10, 2007 at 1:30 pm

    this is sad

  55. 55 Meru October 11, 2007 at 12:02 am

    Dumpling, that’s call sunTAN lotion, not sunscreen/sunBLOCK, look that up if you still think you’re right. And I’m not going to say anything more about who’s pale or not, so you can go to bed feeling a lot better about yourself tonight, give yourself a pat on the back and have a great day.

  56. 56 Dumpling October 11, 2007 at 12:27 am

    You’re an idiot. You don’t even know that sun BLOCK is made to block damage to the skin, not block a tan. Geez.

  57. 57 Meru October 11, 2007 at 3:42 am

    Ha, name calling isn’t a proof of intellect or maturity. I tried to compliment you and give you the benefit of doubt that you do have some kind of intellegence, but you continued to obnoxiously insult me without getting your facts straight. Even little kids know what sunblock is, it blocks sunlight, sunlight tans people’s skin. It’s over, go back to do what you do best without making yourself look terribly ignorant which is complaining about Rain being a poser.

  58. 58 Dumpling October 11, 2007 at 6:10 am

    Sad. If you don’t have sunscreen figured out yet, I really doubt you’ve got much else in life figured out either.

  59. 59 chia October 11, 2007 at 10:22 am

    To me, he’s still gorgeous. Haven’t seen him for a long time in modern fashion, it’s good to know that he still looks terrific.

  60. 60 Maybell October 11, 2007 at 11:18 am

    Here we go again!

    Popseoul made a mistake in bashing his character which is so close to perfection now he/she is concentrating in bashing his look.

    This guy can have any look he wanted but still his inner personality wouldn’t change. Many people don’t realize that it is his personality that gained him a lot of fans abroad.

    There are so many manly, sexy, gorgeous men in this world but nobody can’t be like him. He’s one of a kind.

    Whether you like it or not he’s an icon and he’ll stay for more decades to come so popseoul can and would have plenty of chances to bash him. he..he..

    This is interesting. Stars is not just about looks. Can we have some intelligent discussion about the stars here? Oh.. or this is not the right place to do so…

  61. 61 lol October 11, 2007 at 6:35 pm

    popseoul, you sound like a broken recorder. cant you think of anything new….
    boring…

  62. 62 Shelly Smith November 18, 2007 at 7:20 pm

    “What is the basis for this assertion? Well, nothing really…”

    Popseoul, if you’d stopped there, you would have still been telling the complete truth. The problem is, you went on to vomit all over the keyboard, apparently.

  63. 63 getbi lim November 23, 2007 at 2:58 pm

    byj…..really awesome!!!!

  64. 64 lisa December 9, 2007 at 5:18 am

    i like his hair in the drama :D

  65. 65 JinJoo December 31, 2007 at 10:26 am

    I like him with a shorter hair - he looks like a female with this type of style! don’t get me wrong i’m a big fan of BYJ but i like him better with short hair! i know this is for his movie but just an opinion!

  66. 66 cailyn January 1, 2008 at 1:42 am

    oh no he looks like one ajuma. how feminine he looks. did he do anything on his face? or was it just the long hair?

  67. 67 kdramafan January 4, 2008 at 7:11 am

    BYJ is awesome. For those of you who has questions regarding his sexuality please refer to The Image Volume 1. That man is just hot. The hair is just for the Legend series people.

  68. 68 ltz888 January 5, 2008 at 1:32 am

    I think the image you are looking for is this:

So go bae yong jun! i love you!

    i say “cut your hair!!!you have money!!!” and I bet you he will look 10 years younger XD

  75. 75 uke April 4, 2008 at 2:47 am

    whatever his hair.. short or long… he’s always amazing!!!

  76. 76 mire mire April 13, 2008 at 2:52 pm

    BYJ thr to look more younger since he’s get older..
    haha..
    but his style didn’t match.. heheh

  77. 77 ace April 22, 2008 at 12:28 am

    hahahahahaa.. i thought i was the only one who noticed .. thanks popseoul!
    cant ever have a thing for a guy who looks more beautiful than i am!! :) He is sooo pretty (sissy!)!! :) wonder why some women like him…. i cant watch the legend without puking! :) haaahhaaha… :)

  78. 78 phuong October 11, 2008 at 9:21 pm

    agree , his hair style brings more soft side of him ,i wonder if this kind of hair do is in fashion in Japan at this time ?
    a lot of young men ,professional ones , now having long hair just like Mr BYJ . Anyway he had to shorten his hair soon for his next project .
    I still think that some pictures of him , especially the ones from Legend are very artistic .I do not believe that he is gay , his eye glimpse is so manly .As i have mentioned before i always respect him as a talented artist with great
    manners and personality .Thank you and have the nice weekend for all.

  79. 79 Yujin November 19, 2008 at 6:40 pm

    A gay? Aw,come on! I knew enough of this kind of stupid accusation. Almost anyone who is plain popular,idolized and loved by the MAJORITY are accused of silly things-which in men’s case,the rotting-old line ‘he’s a gay!’-by those pathetic insecure losers who give so much fuzz about someone just because they don’t like him or can’t be like him.

    Well,I clearly understand. I mean,when you hate someone but is loved by almost everybody and you just can’t take it,you say things like ‘he sucks his toe-nails’ stuff,don’t you?

    But really,the ‘HE’S A GAY!-LINE’ is becoming old.
    Try something new,will ya?
