Sweet Temptation: My #2 Favourite Korean Actor

After I blogged for my most favourite K-actor, Song Seung-hun, in last month, now I would like to blog for my #2 favourite k-actor, Bae Yong Jun. I believe many people; especially lady likes Bae Yong Jun after watching the TV series of “Winter Sonata”. No doubt, I am one of them. :P Haha! Actually before “Winter Sonata”, I have seen his another TV series named “Hotelier”. Bae Yong Jun looked so smart in that TV series and of course good-looking! :P

Anyway, please allow me to brief about Bae Yong Jun. Bae Yong-jun is borned August 29, 1972 in Seoul, South Korea. He is a South Korean actor best known for his roles in numerous television dramas. He is also known as Yon-sama (ヨン様) to his Japanese fans. In Chinese, his name is 裴勇俊.

Born in Mapo-gu, Seoul, he was educated in Il-mun Preschool and Myung-il Elementary School. He eventually went to study in PaiChai Middle School and Hanyoung High School. Bae Yong-jun acknowledged that he had a girlfriend named Lee Sa-gang (aka Sagan Lee, Sagang Lee, 이사강), and a photograph of her has since been distributed on the Internet. However, according to a 2005 edition of the I-weekly, a MediaCorp owned magazine in Singapore, Bae has since separated from Lee, citing personal reasons. He has since decided to keep his marital status private. Sources, notably HanCinema, maintain that Bae is still single. Bae's agency, KeyEast, reported that Bae's apartment at Samseong-dong, Seoul caught fire on May 7, 2006 around 8:00 p.m., due to a short circuit. The house was empty when the fire broke out, thus causing no injuries. However, the fire caused damages costing up to 10 million won. During an August 2005 visit to Taiwan, Bae went to the hospital to see a cancer-stricken fan, who is a mother and who has drawn hundreds of Bae's portraits.
