    As far as I’m aware, Mr Kimura is divorced, not married. Or did I miss reading about he having got married again?

  2. 2 drea November 14, 2007 at 2:41 am

    I dont know if it’s just me, but 4A pic resembles Eric a bit

  3. 3 hearmeroar November 14, 2007 at 4:43 am

    as IF i wouldn’t recognize my future husband (wonbin ;D)!

    …hey, a girl can dream, can’t she? >:( hahahhahahaha

  4. 4 jessy November 14, 2007 at 5:55 am

    Some people need some serios TRUE facts on KimuTaku here!
    MONALISA, no Kimura and Kudo are STILL MARRIED! This month is actually their 7th anniversary.
    DUMPLING, Kimura got married when he was 27. It is a young age to get married for a lot of reasons. 1)His wife was 30+ 2)He was the first and only Johnny’s to get married(all the rest of SMAP guys are all in their 30’s now and still not married)
    SNOWQUEEN, you gotta pic of her daughters? can you send it to me? plz!

  5. 5 Meru November 14, 2007 at 7:00 am

    I think it’s a lot of the fan’s fantasy that Kimura’s divorced XD Especially since they don’t like Kudo and speculations that he married her coz he got her preggers. And I thought Goro, or Nakai was married once.

  6. 6 tangy November 14, 2007 at 7:20 am

    aaahh man i got the first on wrong……wow binny’s had some major double eyelid surgery
    haha the first B looks like se7en ^^

  7. 7 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 8:09 am

    It’s not a speculation that Kimura married Kudo because she was pregnant. It’s a fact.

    Which doesn’t mean he doesn’t love his wife and didn’t want to be married. It is also speculated by some that in fact Kimura DID want to marry Kudo and the “accident” pregnancy was on purpose because Johnny wouldn’t have “let” Kimura marry any other way except if his girlfriend got pregnant and then Kimura would have to. Kimura seems to be a VERY happy, satisfied family man and I’m glad for him.

  8. 8 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 8:10 am

    One more thing: if Kimura didn’t want to be married and only did it becuase of the pregnancy, then he and Kudo wouldn’t have gone ahead and had a second pregnancy less than 2 years later. Kimura WANTED the family he has. Screw the fans.

  9. 9 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 8:12 am

    @ Jessy

    Thanks for the correction.

    And…

    TODAY IS KIMURA’S BIRTHDAY. (It’s the day before mine) He is 35 years old today. :)

  10. 10 queen juliebee November 14, 2007 at 8:25 am

    they’re both HOT! but personally, kimura appeals to me more.. it’s the charisma~~!

  11. 11 Meru November 14, 2007 at 11:01 am

    Unless Kimura himself made that statement to the public, then they’re all speculations. And his fans are a part of his fame, so meh, anyway can’t expect much facts from a gossip blog.

  12. 12 Bloo November 14, 2007 at 11:02 am

    I hope you’re fkin’ joking when you said Takuya is Won Bin’s look-a-like. Have some respect for your elders man.

  13. 13 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 11:06 am

    Whatever, Meru. You don’t exactly have a track record for bright ideas.

  14. 14 Meru November 14, 2007 at 11:13 am

    Getting personal? Please, you’ve said enough.

  15. 15 sasuke November 14, 2007 at 11:41 am

    Dang they look so alike! I like Kimura’s child picture better, but in general I prefer Wonbin. Like duh.

  16. 16 sasuke November 14, 2007 at 11:42 am

    PopSeoul, you should do more of these kinds of posts.

  17. 17 madyjune November 14, 2007 at 3:11 pm

    The 3rd picture would have confused if I hadn’t seen that picture of Won Bin before.

  18. 18 honeyTHEhottest November 14, 2007 at 5:08 pm

    ^me too. that 3rd pic was reaaallly confusing. still, won bin is younger, so i prefer him…plus kimura is married. :(

  19. 19 blinkable November 14, 2007 at 8:00 pm

    only a bit similar..I totali can differentiate them!

  20. 20 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 10:45 pm

    @ Meru,

    No, Meru, YOU made it “personal” when you wrote “meh, can’t expect much from a gossip blog”. You basically either called some of us liars, or some of us ignorant. People CAN (and often do) post *facts” on gossip blogs. Just becuase it’s a gossip blog doesn’t mean everything written here is a lie or speculation. Some of us actually know what we’re talking about.

    Like I said, you aren’t exactly the harbinger of bright ideas…or deep thoughts. So next time, if you don’t want someone to “get personal” then don’t follow up other peoples’ comments with “meh” and then proceed to invalidate their contribution unless you are prepared to offer FACTS to prove them wrong. If you can’t prove them wrong then “meh” just makes you look silly.

  21. 21 rita November 14, 2007 at 11:23 pm

    No surprise they have similar facial features because they are the best looking man from Japan and Korea respectively. Won Bin will shine when he comes back. He is still very handsome and hot.

  22. 22 pelican November 15, 2007 at 1:16 am

    I don’t see much facial similarity except in some pics when they both pout their rubber-like lips lol. Takuya has a somewhat girlish look, skinny face with sharp chin while Won Bin’s face is distinctly fuller,squarer chin, higher cheek bones and larger nose. Surprise! Takuya and I have the same birthday!

  23. 23 Meru November 15, 2007 at 2:11 am

    If my comment somehow was offensive to you, I apologize. You’re trying to start a pointless argument with me and I’m not interested. You disagree with me, I understand and I’m fine with it. I’m not here to prove anyone “wrong” or force my opinions on anyone nor do I think my opinions are superior. You, on the other hand, have repeatedly reply to me with malice and insults. Perhaps you find a sense of accomplishment from doing so, if that’s the case, you have my pity.

  24. 24 jisubaddict November 15, 2007 at 10:42 am

    Kimura’s so gentle with the puppy, Won Bin looks like he’s strangling the poor thing =] It doesn’t look happy LOL. Anyways, for looks yes everyone knows that they look alike but as for age and popularity and talent-wise, Kimura is compared to the one and only Jang Dong Gun.

  25. 25 erica November 15, 2007 at 12:39 pm

    they both smokin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. 26 Annie November 15, 2007 at 4:38 pm

    I’ve watched all of Kimura’s drama. Best actor in Asia in my opinion.

    Who is cuter: Won Bin
    Who would I rather date: Kimura because he’s rich as hell and very down to earth. He’s devoted and I will never fear that he will cheat on me (his love history).

  27. 27 nacom202 November 16, 2007 at 1:03 pm

    i got them all right
    WOOHOOO!
    XDDDDDDDDDDD

  28. 28 DieuAn November 21, 2007 at 6:59 am

    HAHAHA that was just too easy…Maybe because I’ve seen Won Bin’s pics more than 100 times but I don’t even know the other guy.

  29. 29 kikay*..* January 9, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    i love both of them. they are both gorgeous.
    we almost have the same birthday! mine is nov 12.
    yeah, who cares?!

    *..*

  30. 30 umabharathi January 16, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    Dear Takuya your so sexy n i love u

  31. 31 Promote Korean food February 7, 2008 at 6:17 am

    but korea’s weakness is that korean culture and food is not popular like how Japan is. Everybody knows about Japan, but Korea is still not well known.

    Koreans need to work very hard in promoting their country’s culture and food.

    Korean food needs to be popular in every continent.

    Promote Korean food, products, and culture to the world.

    CASS beer rules!

  32. 32 michelle95 February 8, 2008 at 7:39 pm

    OH!MY GOD THEY EXACTLY LOOK THE SAME MAN!

  33. 33 ginger vitality February 8, 2008 at 8:16 pm

    haha.Well what to say, I get all right. Whoa..

    But yes we have to say that it is Kimura Takuya look alike. He is the elder one, come to the industry most outstanding actor in Asia. Very versatile and talented in acting.

    But yeah, this blog is Korea pop, so I agreed.

    Tough I knew the name of both actor first is Won Bin in my life through Autmn in My Heart, but somehow he didnt appeal to me. I heard everyone is over his smoking sexy body, but weird ha, not so ineterested.

    Later on only that I discovered about kimura Takuya. And what the heck! He is extremlly talented and just blew you down with his staring and charisma.

    Nonetheless, as much as I have watched korean drama, no one can exceed my expectation over him. Next come So Ji Sub, Uhm Tea Wan..

    The best performence of him is in Million Star Falling From The Skya and recent one that he won the best actor in Asian award. Didnt remembered the name of the award. But yeah he is one in a million. Pure talent and full charisma.

    He just like that and you will drawn in his character. Beside, his band has lasted until now almost 15 yaers and sold the most and topped charted.

    With a marriage and two daughter or did h get a new born baby? He just the man that you want to be with

    On the other hand, Won Bin is eye candy with sexy look-but Kimura also has known as has sexy look.Good actor in Takeugi…

    But has looooong way to go. Long very long way to go.
    Yet, Won Bin has a lot of potiental and he is smoking sexy, so why not give him chance?

  34. 34 ManduYUM February 9, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    i got them all right because i have seen all of those pics before….
    i am addicted to won bin. but that guy does look like won bin… but won bin is still hotter!

  35. 35 lan February 9, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    You should learn how to judge people not by their hotness only. Know both side then you can judge equally. But yes. Won Bin is hot.

  36. 36 mich February 19, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    that guy is not comparable to Takuya Kimura. TK is 10000000000000000x better than him,,,,his only advantage is he’s younger.

  37. 37 widdya February 23, 2008 at 2:46 pm

    i prefer kimutaku than won bin. takuya is more hansome than won bin,,he is more interesting as well,.

  38. 38 PrincessAyra February 24, 2008 at 12:33 am

    i answered everything correctly.yay!^^
    and i have to agree, it must be the other way around.
    Won Bin is Kimura Takuya’s look-alike.^^

  39. 39 Deniz September 18, 2008 at 11:45 am

    I agree that won bin is not comparable to Takuya! Takuya is overly sexy!!!

  40. 40 kimura takuya fan September 18, 2008 at 6:46 pm

    i love kimura takuya. don’t know much about won bin at all. the other day, my friends and i saw this and obviously i was for kimura takuya while my friend likes won bin. another friend does not know who either one was and she actually said won bin is better looking. but, i made her watch some kimura takuya dramas and she now says that she thinks kimura takuya is better…lol…i think that only after watching kimura takuya act can someone know why he’s so famous, cause he seriously oozes charisma when he’s acting
