Bae Yong Joon still frequents the doctor

baeyongjoon_20080325_popseoul.jpg
Bae Yong Joon didn’t fully recover from his Legend injuries, which ended last December with high acclaims. His mangement confirmed that the gloved one still visits the doctor to receive treatment. Bae Yong Joon suffered from four injuries while shooting The Legend and many are worried because he’s no longer a spring chicken.

Despite my distaste for his ajummafied looks, I hope that he gets better soon.

Bae Yong Joon will be the voice behind the anime version of the Winter Sonata. More details will follow after the press conference on March 28th.

    Bae yong joon is what got me addicted to Korean dramas and korean guys. I hope he gets better soon.

  6. 6 ozeanblue March 27, 2008 at 12:00 am

    I don’t consider him old due to me 38 or 39 yrs now? that’s still young these days! I wish you complete recovery and hope you make another drama (not an epic one) much like the drama Winter Sonata, Did We Really Love and First Love! I also hope that you wear your hairstyle as you’ve had before not the ajuma style please! May God continue to guide you and bless you in your career! Sarang!

  7. 7 ozeanblue March 27, 2008 at 12:01 am

    uncle joon, please get well soon!

  9. 9 Hmm March 27, 2008 at 12:13 am

    Aside from his looks and talent, he’s a wonderful person. BTW, he’s just 35 years old. Not too old for me.

    Get well soon cos the K-ent needs you.
    Your fans are missing a lot.

    what is the big hype with this guy. winter sonata is WAY overrated. the drama was very cliched.

  15. 15 YES I WOULD March 27, 2008 at 4:31 am

    rent “untold scandal”. you’ll see what the big deal is.

  16. 16 mi*in March 27, 2008 at 4:53 am

    get well soon, Bae Yong Joon ssi!!! when are u going to OFFICIALLY settle down???
    THE LEGEND is just AWESOME!!! he’s one of many 30-something actors who could really survive in the industry!! LOVE him!

  17. 17 JP March 27, 2008 at 4:55 am

    They already did the musical ,the concert AND the video game For
    Winter Sonata….haha

  18. 18 JP March 27, 2008 at 4:59 am

    This picture is more than 3 years old PS! You can do better.

  19. 19 Just curious March 27, 2008 at 5:41 am

    Is he gay?

  20. 20 tricky March 27, 2008 at 5:50 am

    Winter Sonata video game? Like a first person shooter where I take down a bunch of crazy housewives at the airport? Yonsama approves!!

  21. 21 jojo March 27, 2008 at 7:16 am

    I agree with Nozomi Winter Sonata got me hooked on K dramas and is one of my favs! Oh, and about his looks - in the eye of the beholder and honey he is one fine speciman in my book!
    And 35 is NOT OLD!!!!

    Here’s hoping he gets well!

  22. 22 Eugene March 27, 2008 at 9:07 am

    He’s hot for an oldie:]]]]

    i like his smileee

  23. 23 bored girl March 27, 2008 at 9:12 am

    ah.. finally chopped off them long ponytail.

  24. 24 Dumpling March 27, 2008 at 10:04 am

    He hasn’t chopped his tail off. That photo there is a few years old. His tail is still going strong.

  25. 25 Dumpling March 27, 2008 at 10:06 am

    BTW, speaking of milking Winter Sonata for all it’s worth: there’s a WS pachinko machine in Japan.

  26. 26 wolfblade March 27, 2008 at 11:22 am

    dude i`m not a big fan of his, but hope he gets better soon

  27. 27 spin March 27, 2008 at 12:52 pm

    I love this man, but please tell him to put veneers on all his teeth - just not the first 6 or 8.

    He’s so talented, hugs and kisses, make yourself perfect - you’ve gone this far, go all the way!

  28. 28 Leigh March 27, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    He scares me. O____o

    He was really good in Hotelier though. =}

    Get well soon!

  29. 29 Dovey March 27, 2008 at 1:47 pm

    Ewww, the hair he’s sporting in the above image is ugly. Aside from this, I hope he recovers from all of his injuries. And just like Wolfblade I’m not really a big fan of him, either.

  30. 30 Maybell March 27, 2008 at 3:06 pm

    Just wondering why some ppl
    always include in their comments
    “I’m not a fan of him” kind of phrases.

    What is wrong if you are a fan?
    He has a wonderful personality
    that is very rare in the ent. industry.
    I’m so proud say that I to look up to him as my model
    plus he is really intelligent .
    I don’t go for guys who has nothing inside their brains.

  31. 31 marvinn March 27, 2008 at 4:10 pm

  32. 32 gina March 27, 2008 at 5:11 pm

    He’s way sexy. Unlike all those pubescent little girlyboys…

  33. 33 IS HE VIOLENT? March 27, 2008 at 7:39 pm

    i heard he has a violent temper and beats his staff. truth?

  34. 34 ML March 27, 2008 at 9:39 pm

    Hmmm, I wonder why my comment is not getting through?

  35. 35 Hmm March 27, 2008 at 10:20 pm

    IS HE VIOLENT?

    I wonder why those supposedly beaten staff, have stayed
    for many years with him. I think you’re talking about
    the X-Files thingy which contained stuff that aren’t true.

    Popseoul and its ghost writers can never put this man
    down bec he has more credibility that any of your writers
    here.

  36. 36 IS HE VIOLENT? March 27, 2008 at 10:22 pm

    but you have to admit E Ji Ah seems scared to sh*t by him. maybe he doesn’t beat people but i can see him being controlling and domineering.

  37. 37 Just saying March 28, 2008 at 7:21 am

    I’m not surprised if he is.

  38. 38 Dumpling March 28, 2008 at 9:38 am

    What’s going on with the comments?? I just sent one that didn’t go through. Annoying!!

  39. 39 Dumpling March 28, 2008 at 9:44 am

    Comments are not going through. Only comments with one or two lines are going through…

  40. 40 Dumpling March 28, 2008 at 9:46 am

    Part One:

    I as trying to say that EJA did seem to be scared of him. The two of them didn’t even look at each other at all during the MBC awards, even when they had to go onstage together. She claimed to never had a meal with him the whole two years they did The Legend toegether. And they never did any promotional interviews or appearances together for The Legend.

  41. 41 Dumpling March 28, 2008 at 9:50 am

    There’s something wrong with comments field here. I could only post part of the reply. Then when I posted the second part it keeps saying “duplicate comment”.

    Whatever.

  42. 42 Kpop March 28, 2008 at 11:30 am

    He doesn’t look good in close-up. Hope he’ll get well soon.

  43. 43 What's happening? March 28, 2008 at 11:32 am

    There’s something wrong with the comment box.
    @IS HE VIOLENT?
    Aside from the fact that he is her boss, any sweetness or friendliness noticed between them will make them hit the headline the following day.

  44. 44 Maybell March 28, 2008 at 12:26 pm

    I think there’s nothing wrong being tough and domineering bec he is a businessman. Now tell me, who among the bosses you know are not domineering?

  45. 45 Gee March 28, 2008 at 2:32 pm

    @IS HE VIOLENT?

    The ppl behind YJ’s businesses are very respectable and experienced individuals with MBAs. Do you think they’ll just accept his being violent and harsh as you claim he is? Just a plain common sense.

  46. 46 IS HE VIOLENT? March 28, 2008 at 6:45 pm

    nah, you can’t use that excuse that friendliness would cause gossips. nope. he’s been friendly in interviews and behind the scenes with all his other female colleagues. his behavior towards EJA is something unique. i think they hate each other. the question is what caused it? but you are free to think what you want.

  47. 47 what's happening March 28, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    FYI, EJA was rumoured to be YJ’s girl bec they
    questioned her being the chosen as the lead role
    in Legend. The fact is she was chosen by Kim PD, not
    BYJ after 30 auditions. Will that explain or you still
    want to believe what you think.

  48. 48 LEGEND SUCKS March 30, 2008 at 12:49 am

    Hmm… he still haven’t recovered yet??? Well, did already see the series and just got questions as to how and how much the guy got injured in such a slow-paced, more talk less action kinda series??????

    Already almost half a year past yet doctors can’t cure said “injuries”.. can be that this is just a part of their “strategy” so many more would be curios enough to watch the series.

    Well for me, the series is the worst one I’ve seen so far, coz not only is the plot not good..his action scenes stinked. I wouldn’t recommend the series to anybody.

  49. 49 what's happening March 30, 2008 at 1:28 pm

    LEGEND SUCKS!

    That is just your opinion popseoul.
    All other viewers all of other countries
    and of course Koreans enjoyed and are enjoying this series.
    Your recommendation is not important at all.
    The series speak for itself.

  50. 50 LEGEND SUCKS March 30, 2008 at 1:55 pm

    The producer just invested on the “face value” of the lead actor without considering if said actor can really deliver or give justice to the role. All the lead actor did was “flash that great big smile” and “shed some EYEDROP-Tears” and that’s enough for his fans to rave about it forever. If it was what he was paid for, it’s not worth the budget.
    Did watch the series.. gave it a chance… but got to say the lead is not cut for the this. Maybe just stick with love stories.
    And do hope he meets a doctor good enough to cure him of his injuries so we can move on with another topic.

  51. 51 LEGEND SUCKS March 30, 2008 at 3:55 pm

    oops.. typo error: but got to say the lead is not cut for this.

    I think all the hype before and even after the series was shown in Korea is overrated.
    The series is a 2-year in the making yet all including the lead did make a lot of catching up to do just to have the each episode aired on time. So what do one expect when things are done in haste.. unnecessarily injuries becomes inevitable.. but to use such to increase the hype for the series.. this is unacceptable for me..

    LEGEND REALLY SUCKS.

  52. 52 what's happening March 30, 2008 at 5:09 pm

    He is not using the injury to hype the series.
    The ppl are enjoying the series that’s why it’s a hit.
    You popseoul stop writing about him…period..
    His fans are just praying that he’ll be alright
    and that’s what is happening. He’s done with the crutches.

    I think you are just jealous of YJ’s success.
    I’m sorry to say you are pathetic.
    You are shouting your lungs out because he is very
    very successul, talented, good looking, smart,
    rich, famous, down to earth, nice and humble.
    You name it he’s got it.

  53. 53 what's happening March 30, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    Because he is so god fearing, god rewarded him.
    He can now shoot his CFs. He is scheduled to do more
    within the following days. You see, this man is tough.

    I think the schedule of the drama is beyond his control. But inspite of all his injuries he is professional enough to finish all the remaining scenes.

    Is it overrated? It is not for you to judge. The majority always determine the barometer. So you can cry your little heart out. He is successful, his drama will be successful as well as all his businesses.

  54. 54 LEGEND SUCKS March 30, 2008 at 9:25 pm

    What’s happening with you? you’re the one shouting your lungs out.
    Can’t take an objective critism, hmm? Just shows how blinded you could be.. even assuming I’m Popseoul? How pathetic you must be.. I ain’t Popseoul and it is not only Popseoul who has a viewpoint like I have.
    You are so pathetic to not even see the points I have raised. So you just go on bragging how good or how great a businessman your idol is. In fact, and I would like to tell you that I admire his ability to exploit every means just to benefit from his fame.. Not that I am discounting his virtues but man,, he just needs to stick with “lovey-dovey” rolls coz I think he is not cut for action. Get it?

  55. 55 Gee March 31, 2008 at 12:00 pm

    LEGEND SUCKS.

    That’s just your opinion no?
    What’s happening is right.
    You’re shouting your lungs out
    because you can not accept that he is a
    great actor and a good person.
    Your opinion doesn’t count bec you
    are not a movie or drama critic.
    It is not for you to judge.

    A lot of ppl feels that he is a good actor.
    You see, whether he is good or not in action
    is not for you to commend. You are neither
    a producer nor a director.

  56. 56 le-GEE-nd Sucks March 31, 2008 at 4:13 pm

    Yeah only your opinion and viewpoint counts..maybe you are any of the following you mentioned: a movie or drama critic, a producer or a director. And because I am not any of them, my opinion doesn’t count. GEEze..
    As far as I know anybody who is a public figure is bound to receive citations and criticisms..solicited or otherwise..
    So it is up to his fans, die hard ones, especially.. how such citations or criticisms would be dealt with.
    But in your case.. anyone can notice that you can’t handle any as your argumentations are out of premise and obviously biased.
    As far as I can remember, anyone is free to post here and it’s up to you if this gets into your clotted nerves.

  57. 57 what's happening March 31, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    @le-GEE-nd Sucks aka @LEGEND SUCKS

    You are you to dictate what career path he’d be going
    to take? Tell me, who do you think is best to portray
    the role of Damdeok in the Legend?
    He is getting into your nerves because he is
    famous and successful and it might hurt however
    you are idolizing, or just maybe, your favorite is the
    rival drama that ate a lot of dust bec of Legend?

    I will tell this once and i will be through with this.
    Baefans knows who you are. You are going in and out
    of bae blogs and posting nasty things about BYJ.
    We are watching your shadow so be careful.

  58. 58 what's happening March 31, 2008 at 7:04 pm

    That “Who are you to dictate what career path he’d be
    going to take”.

  59. 59 le-GEE-nd Sucks March 31, 2008 at 8:49 pm

    Way to go… praising your idol and belittling other’s.

    What’s happening to you now? All I see is that you have transformed now into a psychic, but a poor one, coming up with your claims of knowing me; that you know who my idol is..and that I go to bae’s blogs and posting nasty things about BYJ.. Whew you’re paranoid.. I just come here at Popseoul and express my viewpoints and you went all the way as to think and suspect me of going to all your other BYJ blogs.. I won’t waste my time going to your blogs.

    Now, from your posts I’ve come to realize the following: 1. you belittle other actors just to exalt your “highness” 2. there are others who see or feel like I do with regards to your so called “great, wonderful series”
    3. you are a frightful creature coz you claim you know me already so as to even threaten me even through the internet..
    Beware everyone, not to be in opposition with What’s Happening.. ones’s dear life might be in danger..

  60. 60 what's happening March 31, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    There is only one that is posting nasty things about
    BYJ and that’s you. You are Legend boy and you hate
    The legend. Some ppl may not like Legend but there’s
    only who are truly lunatic and that’s you.
    You keep on telling ppl how bad the series is.
    Why do you have to post to each and every portal
    site that you hate the Legend if you don’t have
    huge grudge about it.

    I hit you there just in the middle.
    How do I know you’re the same person?
    You write exactly that way he/she write.
    Your posts are similar and your words are similar.
    You said mostly the same sentences.
    ..and most of all..you don’t regard other
    people’s feeling. You have so much hatred in your
    heart for one person..You are the one who needs help.

  61. 61 what's happening March 31, 2008 at 10:08 pm

    Just to make one thing straight, I don’t belittle other actors. I was just asking who do you feel is suitable to play the role of the king? I’m sure you did not watch the whole series bec you claim that YJ only smiled and did mediocre action scenes. If you did watch it, you will know that he did not smile althroughout the series. It was just in the beginning when he was a prince.

    ..and I’m very sure you are Legend boy you went to every bae blog and post there. You’re the only one who has the guts to do that sort of things to the very silent and supportive bunch of baesisters. We don’t mess with other actors’ lives so we expect that we will also be respected.

  62. 62 barbie March 31, 2008 at 11:32 pm

    Im bored reading stuffs here and there…
    Watched drama’s of famous korean actors and noticed that
    Bae Yong Jun only have 2 drama and 1 movie of ‘lovey lovey’ projects the rest are story like and the other 1 barefooted youth (did i got the title right) is a action drama mafia stuffs and so on… so I think your opinion about stick to the prince charming image is non sense. Because for koreans who live all their lifes in korea im sure they saw mr.bae’s fame in the more manly way than everybody of us here think.
    if u wnat to take a peek go check his photo album ‘the image vol.1′

    I’ll consider myself a bae fan bec I read so much already. About the injuries he’s still recovering its because he didnt had an surgery(or he didnt had a’major’ one)
    Because thats the best way for injuries to be cured ‘the natural way’ and he dont need to hurry and make new projects not like the others there.
    Its pathetic that your wishing him to see a new better doctor because im sure he can find the best one cause he have the MONEY.
    Im sure you know about that.

  63. 63 le-GEE-nd Sucks April 1, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    What’s happening again to you? If you won’t believe after my posting that I’m not that person who goes to your other blogs.. and now still accuse me that I’m that “legend boy” then you’re sick to the core and I can’t do anything about this already. Just take all the compliments and live in a perfect world with your “king” as if it’d happen. Reality check.. Earth to What’s happening. Well, I’m so through with you.
    on Barbie: you are so pathetic cause you can’t believe that nobody other than BYJ fans like you, do hope BYJ gets well soon. You discredit other people’s wishes to your idol.. Way to go.. your idol would be very proud of you for this..huh. I’m also very through with your narrow-mindedness.

  64. 64 barbie April 1, 2008 at 3:19 pm

    Pathetic huh? Just like what I said.
    Sorry I didnt knew you dont have much vocabolary ;)

  65. 65 What's happening April 1, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    le-GEE-nd Sucks

    Goodbye and may our paths won’t cross again.
    You have too much hate in your heart.
    You need to meditate and seek for counseling.
    Something must be done to your inclination
    for being sadistic..

  66. 66 lousy fans April 3, 2008 at 2:08 pm

    BYJ fans really have a great way and capability to alienate other non fans and create antis for him. In a way, one does see an idol through their fans and you guys are just a scary bunch.
    @ What’s happening, i really have to question your comprehensive skills or are you just someone who cannot accept a single criticism of your idol?? Your denseness amazes me !!!

  67. 67 Nothing Really April 4, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Good luck to everyone!!
    Just enjoy your lives and
    just mind each own business.
    The world is already full of chaos
    so try to be more positive
    cos we won’t know if tomorrow
    will ever come.
    Live life to the fullest, ok?

  68. 68 gemmalynofreneodeleon April 12, 2008 at 12:36 pm

    I WILL PRAY FOR YOUR FULLY RECOVER, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS, MORE POWER.
    my GOD you’re so magaling in “THE LEGEND” nagpapakapuyat ako ngayon para lang mapanood ko ng buo ang the legend sa GMA 7, natutuwa ako kahit na puro commmercial at maikli lang ang episode tuwing gabi, ibig sabihin lang noon, tunay na number 1 and the legend. kakaiba ang kwentong ito, para talagang original. kahit hindi mo ito maintindihan, pray ko lang ang tuluyan mong pag galing at makagawa pa ng maraming maraming teleserye. kahit anong rule alam kong kaya mo, mapa komedy, drama, love story and action, but careful in your action scene. i love you always.
