Chuno’s Han Jung-soo in Men’s Health
by javabeans
Wow, what a gorgeous shot of a gorgeous man. Speaking of Chuno, here’s another of its buzzmaking cast members: slave-hunting warrior General Choi, aka actor Han Jung-soo, in a spread for March’s issue of Men’s Health magazine.
He’s currently making a name for himself as part of Jang Hyuk‘s band of slave hunters. When Chuno wraps, Han will be busy jumping right into his next project, SBS’s Prosecutor Princess with Kim So-yeon.
Of all its achievements, I’m going to be shallow and say that I’m most pleased that Chuno has turned the trend away from the “flower boys” of 2009 to the “beast-men” of 2010. “Beast,” of course, refers to their raw, animalistic appeal, which goes in stark contrast to the slim, sophisticated metrosexual looks that have dominated in recent years. (Not that metro is going out of style, but at least we have a counter to that now!) In the past, there have been a few actors who have been able to carry off strong masculine appeal — among them Shin Hyun-joon, Joo Jin-mo, even Jang Dong-gun — but they’ve been in the minority. If we get to see more of them because of Chuno, that’s something to be happy about.

Okay okay! Now that I have my second wind, your comments about the "flower boys of 2009" and the metro look aren't exactly spot on. Even the beast men have that darn eyeliner action going on! But I'm happy enough. I don't like the willowy androgynous look, either!

every time i hear "general choi" i think of some old guy - EVEN with the screencaps!! - i like these closeup pics - makes him look more youthful (even though he's actually really young than my imagination) and THAT MUCH HOTTER.

It's ABOUT TIME words like "masculine" and "beast" are used to refer to men. It's hard to convince friends that flower boys are really men!

Strangely I love to see men with eyeliner --- if they used it the right way.. not that I expect to see a man using eyeliner on the street. :P
I mean for photo shoots, sometimes eyeliner gives right enchantment.

Why do Korean males wear eyeliner? It looks so gay. Take JSG in "You're Beautiful". I know he plays a pop idol, but that look is a turnoff. He looked so much better in "Hwang JIni" with the natural look.
