It’s Bae Yong Joon. The Legend of the Four Kings star picked up the Best Actor award at Part II of the 2007 MBC Drama Awards on December 30th.

The ajummafied actor was interviewed by MC Shin Dong-yup who thanked him for the generous monetary wedding gift and jokingly reminded the actor that he will be expecting a child in February (traditionally, monetary gifts are given in Korea for the milestones such a birth of a baby, wedding etc).

Bae Yong Joon apologized for his injured appearance and told his fans that he will be back again in better shape.

The inflatable life-sized doll must have helped speed up his recovery from his hand injury. Now, I wonder what fans will send for his leg?

    OHH FIRST!! Wow he looks… yeah… interesting. I won’t say I dig the tail. In fact it looks AWFUL!

  2. 2 calla December 31, 2007 at 10:56 am

    “The ajummafied actor was ….”" LMAO!!! Clever, clever POPSEOUL!!! Aptly described, indeed. I cannot stop giggling!!!

    But, I do not understand the hype on him. Can somebody explain? He is not bad at all, but not too good either. His old drama with Choi Ji Woo (which supposedly MADE him, esp. in Japan) was good but compared to others, it was just okay. Am I missing something?

  3. 3 junsufan December 31, 2007 at 11:00 am

    why is michael jackson as option, LOL..

  4. 4 leo/cancer/leo December 31, 2007 at 11:05 am

    Dear POPSEOUL,
    you should recognize NAM SANG MI for wearing the right clothes for her age. She does look young and lovely that night. No more granny look for NSM

  9. 9 FEAR December 31, 2007 at 11:42 am

  20. 20 Jennifer December 31, 2007 at 2:43 pm

    ~*~*When I saw M.J. as an option I was like “Oh, Hell to the No that ain’t no M.J.!! Funny POPSEOUL, funny! Loved it! :P*~*~

  21. 21 ohgeeze. December 31, 2007 at 2:51 pm

    I don’t know why people think like him so much for his looks.
    He’s the least bit attractive.
    Besides those shirtless pictures that are like way buff for some reason.
    Like he’s got something to prove.

  22. 22 d0a2 December 31, 2007 at 2:57 pm

  29. 29 eli December 31, 2007 at 3:51 pm

    oh so predictable.
    when will he cut his hair off?
    he looks better with short hair.

  30. 30 Bewoulf December 31, 2007 at 4:46 pm

    Heh. Do not underestimate the power of ajummmas!

    Bae Yong Jun is getting used to his long silky hair which he can use to swish into the hearts of even more ajummas, lol!

    byj looks younger and sexier with longer hair. maybe just keep it for awhile. his hair is very clean and sheen.

  35. 35 varms December 31, 2007 at 6:33 pm

    that was weak…

  36. 36 Rich December 31, 2007 at 7:21 pm

    Now, I wonder what fans will send for his leg?
    ***********************************************
    They’ll send him lemo, benz, porche, jaguar,
    ferrar..and expensive cameras and all kinds of branded
    stuff. Do you know that they used to send him those
    gifts but he begged saying he doesn’t have a place to
    store them when 3 to 4 tons of gifts sent in on his
    birthday? He asked his family instead to donate their gifts to charity. That’s why during his b-day, his fans do a lot
    of activities for charity.

  37. 37 Shanny December 31, 2007 at 7:31 pm

    She’s hot.

  38. 38 nurkeyandie December 31, 2007 at 8:00 pm

  40. 40 Doggy Supreme January 1, 2008 at 12:10 am

    MC Shin Dong Yup? Sounds Similar To MC Mong’s Real Name… Which Is Shin Dong Hyun…

  41. 41 k-addict fan January 1, 2008 at 12:14 am

    i’m a big fan since Winter Sonata, Did We Really Love, etc. but i hope his filming finished so we can see BYJ’s natural image, i.e. short hair! this long hair makes him look so feminine let alone his face already says so! pls short hair next time! (smiles)

  42. 42 Arie January 1, 2008 at 12:15 am

    He looks pretty o-O
    His hair is nice, I want sleek black hair like his lol

  45. 45 Tina January 1, 2008 at 2:53 am

    I’d take him…if no one else wants him-

  46. 46 Wicked January 1, 2008 at 4:48 am

    that hair cut has to go, the man looks real cute in legend and all, but now it’s time for a cut, the drama is done with…just doesn’t look right for his face.

  47. 47 nx512 January 1, 2008 at 8:19 am

  48. 48 iinda January 1, 2008 at 8:52 am

  52. 52 sweety January 1, 2008 at 6:35 pm

    haha, that crutches was painted black by his manager :)

  53. 53 Sigh January 1, 2008 at 8:40 pm

    It’s already 2008 but popseoul is still into the ponytail and MJ thingy…tsk..tsk.. Lacking in creatibility and
    this topic is getting to be so boring..

    What else can she/he write about YJ that is sarcastic
    aside from his looks and acting…nothing..nothing at all..

    His name doesn’t deserve to be written in this site bec
    his personality lacks what popseoul is trying to do for
    so long..bashing K-artists..making fun of them..bec they’re
    jealous of their popularity..This site should be renamed
    K-artist bashings.

  54. 54 Anne January 1, 2008 at 9:54 pm

    He looked like an Eastern Vampire in clutches. LOL

  55. 55 kdramafan January 1, 2008 at 11:20 pm

    instead of like those chinese actors who put on wigs for period drama, BYJ prefer to keep his hair long so that he doesn’t have to put on a wig. it makes their hair looks natural than those chinese period dramas…..Yet there are people who simply have to criticized him for his professionalism..

    and stop calling his fans ahjumma!!!

  56. 56 Dumpling January 1, 2008 at 11:43 pm

    I like BYJ, but I’m sick to death of the hair. It suited him perfectly as the character and with the costume but it does not suit him outside the movie. And he had on way too much lip gloss that night. All this does is make the haters carry on about how effiminate he looks. His natural, normal self does not look effiminate at all. It’s only when his stylists get their hands on him. I loved his tux though. Just too much hair and lip stuff. It’s awesome that he won the top awards. Super!

  57. 57 rockmyboat January 2, 2008 at 12:24 am

    BYJ made me sick everytime i saw him while my parents were watching taewangsashingi
    ewwww

  58. 58 Booyah! January 2, 2008 at 6:45 am

    lol MJ? that was funny :p

  59. 59 he's hot January 2, 2008 at 1:47 pm

    BUT his hair GOT TO GO!

  60. 60 Kelly January 2, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    Ewww……….He’s GAY!!!!!!
    I heard he had a crush on a guy once! Seriously, I think he’s GAY!!!!!! Why is he still single….come on…that’s common sense!

  61. 61 bleh January 2, 2008 at 2:36 pm

    Kelly,

    not his fan, but gay or not it’s none of your business. People like you, who keeps saying without knowing the truth that this or that actor is gay always make me sick. You are very immature and i’d even call you no manners.

  62. 62 Sigh January 2, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    Kelly,

    Now Kelly, that’s below the belt.

    You have to present your proof/evidence/source if you’re
    accusing anyone. It’s your words against YJ’s 13 years in
    showbiz. He’s never been accused of being gay not until
    he became famous overseas. You Korean haters should stop
    false accussations if you cannot prove it.

    That’s really immature.

  63. 63 Sigh January 2, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    There are other actors in ther 30s that aren’t married
    yet. JDG and LBH are older than YJ but they’re still
    single. YJ is not friendly with the media since his
    debut bec he doesn’t have to. He has nothing to hide.

    Lot of gays I know are macho and looks physically
    strong. YJ is just too cultured and well mannered.

  64. 64 Yeppeda January 2, 2008 at 4:26 pm

    Huaaaa… Kelly, you’re out of the line!!

    You’re accusing someone with no fact, that is only ‘what you think’…..so immature!!

    You better use your words wisely from now on, starting this new year!!

    Thanks

  65. 65 lydia January 3, 2008 at 9:21 am

    wow..at first it looked alot like michael jackson..lol..but i didnt wanna vote so i clicked on reading more and found out it was the dude from hotelier?!?!!..YIKES!!hed look SOOO much better with short hair.long hairs goes with that one dude..in all about eve.

  66. 66 Naqiyyah January 3, 2008 at 10:22 am

    I KNEW IT!! It’s so abvious that that’s Bae Yong Jun. and Michael Jackson’s in the list (???) HAHAHA.

  67. 67 DieuAn January 3, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    That is funny, really!
