I see him in a lot of ads. My gf claims there's not a single Korean woman alive that doesn't think he's the hottest thing on the planet. I'm not jealous. I just don't get why a guy who looks like he's one spot out of the medal platform in the Asian Mustache Olympics is so darn hot hot hot:

Silly question but what exactly is the difference between Geon and Geun? Especially in this case since both "e"s are silent resulting in the same sound....or not? I mean if Gun is ok, why not Geun with the silent e?

I swear spelling Korean names is truly an art form that I can't quite get Embarassed

He lives in a penthouse suite near Sunae station and Jeongja in Bundang. My former co-worker lives in the same building with her parents. Don't know why I can't remember the name of it. It's along the river, and has a high-class fitness club as a part of it. Not the I-Want, Not the Royal Palace ... ugh, my memory is failing me.

BTW, current college Freshmen think he's a little old.

Maybe not, but, if you were a woman posting a pic of another woman in the OP, a lot more would have been made of this statement by now, including speculations on your current appearance, heckling to post your own pic so we can compare, etc. etc.
