Bae Yong Yoon : the blue cardigan of worry

[alexandral]

My admiration for this guy knows no bounds but the latest pictures of him and his blue cardigan makes me worried:



I need your opinion on this. To participate you don't have to be a fan of Bae Yong Joon or even know who he is. The gender of participants is not important too. (But please be kind – I lurve him :D)

I don't know why some people (ie. Popseul) are so averse towards 'ajumma' audiences. I mean come on, what's wrong about it anyway. I say age ain't nothin' but a number, LOL. Perhaps because in Asia most of the big stars, or the A-list ones anyway, are still relatively young compared to Hollywood/western actors. Like JE guys, for example, who are bigger than life in Japan. They're practically teenyboppers. The number of older actors who are as big as them aren't as many in comparison.

What's the "small face" beauty philosophy, btw? I haven't heard that before :D

I don't like the style in the picture - he looks too much a girl there , I must admit!
Me too!!! I like BYJ in The Legend and since that's his latest work then I am fine with the image I am left with, LOL ^^

Hee! Mee to! Especially considering the "virtual" character of the modern-day media.

As to actors' age - this really makes me think. Among Japanese (and particular, Korean) dramas it is a rarity to see a drama with actors around 40 in the lead roles. Japanese dramas are less like that, I think. There are more "mature" theme dramas. Take "Karei naru", "SP" just out of the top of my head. The new Takuya's drama "Change" too. In Korean dramas older actors move into supporting category. I wonder why.

As to JE boys - there is a similar thing here in the UK too. They call them "boy bands" that attract huge following of teenage girls. Judging by ratings of few JE boys dramas they are not as popular drama-wise with general population as Takuya, for example.

I came across this in blogs, I think. It seems to be considered beautiful to have as small face as possible (for ladies) in Korea. I noticed few jokes about it in dramas too.
