The Great Procrastinator II

Since I am guilty as charged for my title, may as well live it. LOL

I just found this Korean Herald article from Fan Rain and I want to nitpick comment a bit.. XD 

“..Jung, who launched his acting career with Korean television drama “Full House” in 2004.”

Eeeps! Wrong! XD Although many had known him through Full House, including yours truly, ‘Sangdoo! Let’s go to school’ is his debut drama as an actor in 2003.

“..he has filled concert halls all over the globe, including those in Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, China and the Philippines.”

Oh HOW I WISH that last part was true! LOL! But no, he never filled a concert hall here in my homeland for he never had one.

“According to him, he has done his best to make his role in “Speed Racer” more Korean-like. Initially, the name of the character he is to play was a typical Japanese one, but it became Taejo at the request of him, he said.”

SO that explains why ‘Taejo’ sounds so familiar…as in it’s so Korean. XD While ‘Togokhan’ is undoubtedly Japanese. LOL…that guy! He even insisted on putting hangul letters to flash on the screen to the directors.. XD

“His dance style, according to Jung, combines Michael Jackson’s moonwalk with martial-arts elements, but he always develops his own choreography because he doesn’t want to look like an American singer.”

Take that you people who always label him as the “Korean *insert an American singer’s name here*”! He has his OWN name as a singer and that’s RAIN.
