It’s Jang Dong Gun who obviously inherited his good looks from his mommy and daddy.

    idk how ppl could vote for Gong yoo, SJS or wonbin…. the parents’ eyes vote out both gong yoo and SJS, and the parents’ noses count out wonbin

    Happy Birthday to my new favorite Korean actor!

  31. 32 Ladeeda March 5, 2008 at 9:22 pm

    Jang Dong Gun’s daddy is very handsome! The son takes after him, and his gorgeous mom! ^___^

  32. 33 monalisa March 5, 2008 at 9:43 pm

    Seems they even tried to get Mr. Jang senior to do a CF with JDG! Anyway, happy 36th, Mr. Jang Dong Gun! Wish you’ll achieve whatever dreams and aspirations you’ve set your heart on getting.

  33. 34 Passerby March 5, 2008 at 9:49 pm

    JDG does look handsome…He definitely inherit his mom and dad’s good look but his younger brother is really different from him (He has one younger brother)..I once saw the pic of his younger brother when married somewhere but he is not as handsome as JDG..His younger brother is not from entertainment industry I think..Anyway Happy Birthday JDG!!

  34. 35 Dumpling March 5, 2008 at 11:08 pm

    Seriously, it was impolite and uncalled for to point out that JDG’s younger brother is not as handsome as he is. SO WHAT? WHO CARES? Didn’t need to mention that at all.

    Also, I have seen the photo of the younger brother. He is not, by any means, unattractive. He simply doesn’t look the same as his brother. He is clean cut and has a gentle face. He is slightly heavier and a little shorter.

  35. 37 bogul March 6, 2008 at 12:12 am

    dont beat me up, but to me he’s always just looked slightly like an owl for some reason.

  36. 38 invisibelle March 6, 2008 at 1:17 am

    his dad looks like he could be bae yong joon’s brother.

  37. 39 bird March 6, 2008 at 1:24 am

  38. 40 penguin_x3 March 6, 2008 at 1:56 am

    Got most of both parents looks yet his nose is so fake! Nothing wrong with a little upgrade.

  40. 42 Vicky March 6, 2008 at 3:46 am

    he’s still hot!

  41. 43 Dumpling March 6, 2008 at 4:10 am

    “His nose is so fake”? You must be crazy.

  42. 44 BabyGina March 6, 2008 at 5:04 am

    Great picture ,very cute baby and a beautiful family. DG is so hot !!! And I think he inherited all the great genes from his parents.

    Happy Birthday to DG !! All the best to him !!!

    PS: I am so with you Dumpling, that person is crazy.

  43. 45 for real March 6, 2008 at 5:27 am

    he resembles his father a lot. he’s got good genes, his parents are both beautiful

  44. 46 Nathassia March 6, 2008 at 5:35 am

    he looks like his dad… but, those cutie eyes are inheritance from his mother ^^!!!

    Congrats JDG!!!
    Best wishes…

  45. 47 anonymous March 6, 2008 at 6:43 am

    fake nose???

    hahaha….i’ll consider that as a compliment for him cuz his nose is so beautiful that jealous people like you would think it’s fake!

    Happy Birthday DG!

  46. 48 amareally March 6, 2008 at 8:37 am

    How old is he now ???

  47. 49 kim sam soon March 6, 2008 at 8:44 am

    Surely you jest. don’t you see neither his parents have a nose that long! Don’t give me that “he developed” crap a bridge that long is a cartilage implant. I think it looks really good, more masculine. I’m not critizing him at all, it just easier to tell who is who.

  48. 50 Lana March 6, 2008 at 9:03 am

    I knew it was JDG. He’s the spitting image of his Dad.
