Kim Min-jong for Oh Boy!
by girlfriday
Oh, oppa. I don’t care to admit how much I loved you back in 1994, but suffice it to say, my love is making a comeback. And so are you. Kim Min-jong (Athena, Return of Iljimae) is making a splash with his roguish Athena character Kim Ki-soo, the Northern intelligence agent who defects to the South and then becomes a double-double-agent (quadruple agent?) for the North. Or something. Mostly he cracks jokes and follows Jung Woo-sung around like a puppy, which is as awesome as it sounds, though not as frequent as I would like. There’s just something endearing about a spy who doesn’t know which way the scope goes on a sniper rifle.
Ever notice how all the best characters in the IRIS franchise are the North Korean officers? What’s up with that? There must be something about border-crossing Northies doing right by national security, akin to loving a bad boy with a heart of gold. Lord knows that Kim So-yeon and Kim Seung-woo are my favorite characters of the franchise, and Ki-soo is a close third. Last week’s Episode 17 with Kim So-yeon’s cameo was unbelievably kickass (the TWIST!) and it makes me excited for IRIS 2 for the first time ever. I just hope they take Ki-soo along on that story. See, people? I TOLD you that ZEUS would be the best thing ever!
Anyhoo, here’s Kim Min-jong in a shoot for fashion mag Oh Boy!, rockin’ some weird concept that’s a cross between I’m-too-sexy-for-this-suit and don’t-mind-me-while-I-eat-my-pizza.

I have loved him since Guardian Angel. He is just this awesome mix of hotness and sincerity that I find sexy.

omg Guardian Angel! I remember watching that and wondering who the ahjussi with the big eyes was lol.
He looked a bit like Lee Dong Wook but that must be a result of my delusional hazy memories lol.

I love Kim Min Jong since Guardian Angel too. Such a wonderful actor, and love love his albums. What a voice. He's one of those rare actor who is also a singer. I mean a real singer who can belt out a tune, not just those idol singers who cross over to acting.

I finally got to watch Feelings and he and Lee Jung Jae are my favorite too! So addictive, those two.

Who is the designer(s) of the clothing? It's great to see some fashionable clothing coming out other than just black, white, grey or beige tones.

Kim Min-jong is so fine, but when I saw these pics the first thing that went through my mind was "that pizza looks nasty"!
I must agree that the North Korean spies rock, and ZEUS would be totally epic.

He looks more than fab :x. My love for him makes a comeback too. I missed Hyun in Feeling but this look brings some new charm of his that I am falling for so easily [sigh]. I guess I need to watch Athena soon soon soon!!

HAHAHA. Oh girls and their childhood crushes. I totally understand because Joe Lando and Kevin Sorbo and their beautiful locks from the 90s will forever be to me what Kim Min-jong means to girlfriday and Lee Jung-jae means to dramabeans. XD

I meant "Lee Jung-jae means to javabeans". But I wonder if at this point most of the people on dramabeans have been brainwashed to love Lee Jung-jae too. XD

The pics tell a story. He eats a slice of pizza, it tastes terrible, he has a nasty tummy ache, he tries a reclining position to let the wind settle, doesn't work, so he gets up, downs a glass of warm water. That last pic where he's staring at us with pallid face? The water doesn't work either, so he's biding for time sitting on the edge of the armchair and fiddling with a camera while trying to decide whether to make a run for the loo. Notice the starkly pale ghastly edward scissorhands-like pallor? It's got PAIN written all over.

While were not rubbing beet juice on our cheeks like they did in the 1800s were not killing ourselves or the bunnies either.Three thousand years B.C. the Egyptians were wearing green eye-show and lining their eyes with kohl. Are your heroines natural beauties or are they dusting their face with rice powder and rouging their nipples?A woman without paint is like food without salt. For a stretch in the 90s my family was like Waltons Mountain without the mountain.

Johnny Deep immediately comes to mind. I didn't really like him in A Man Called God but he certainly shines in Athena from the rest of the cast.
