Gong Yoo’s upcoming army release
by javabeans
Another upcoming army release! Get ready to welcome back Coffee Prince actor Gong Yoo — while fellow actor Chun Jung-myung was released today, Gong Yoo will be discharged on December 8. Both enlisted at the height of their popularity last year, and the fan love is still going strong as they prepare for the their returns.
Gong Yoo enlisted on January 2, 2008, when he was still riding high from the high praise he received for his role in Coffee Prince. While he’d had lead roles before, that was the one that garnered him a solid reputation as a strong actor. Already he is being targeted with “love calls” (calls of interest for possible projects) for his comeback project from as diverse genres as romantic comedies and thrillers.
As we have seen time and time again, there’s always a high level of interest in the first projects taken on by returning actors. Some jump right back into the fray, while others like Won Bin and Go Soo have taken their time. We’ll have to see if Gong Yoo falls into the former category or the latter.

Gaaaahhhh!!!!!!! So so excited!!!! I initially typed my name in all caps, then realized, what am I doing?!? Oh Gong Yoo, you definitely definitely tickle the cockles of my heart!!!
I don't feel so sad about YAB ending anymore, I am so looking forward to MY Gong Yoo!!!
I wish I could target him with a "love call", too... for a totally different reason. :P

You just made my day. I absolutely ADORE GongYoo ever since I watched 건빵선생 과 별사탕 for the first time and I've missed him so much since he's been away. His return will make up for the recent departure of Kim RaeWon since I'm still missing him like crazy.
Thanks JavaBeans!
