Without further ado, let us present 30 reasons we have an eternal love for Ji Chang Wook!
He is bae
We love him because he’s a bae! Sweet, charming, caring and considerate guy and we’ll run out of positive adjectives to describe this guy. And yeah, of course you can claim him as your bae or baby.
Because he’s our HEALER! No questions needed. Healer probably would be his most iconic role of all time and it’s easy to explain why. Superheroes are hardly represented in Korean dramas/movies and Healer is unlike other superhero. He has some very good skills such as climbing or jumping across rooftops but he’s not superhuman or anything, he’s not mutant and doesn’t have superpowers. He survives as Healer only because he has skills to do it, he becomes a leading professional in his area of work and he simply needs love like any other human being. Ji Chang Wook perfectly embodies all aspect in that role and even made 3 characters (Healer, Seo Jung Hoo, Park Bong Soo), technically speaking, memorable in their own. He is simply the perfect Healer!
There are many handsome actors, but only Ji Chang Wook would never bore me with his handsome features. His eyes, nose, lips (a la Taeyang’s song) are the standout features, especially his eyes! His eyes could speak on its own language apparently!
Anyone watching Ji Chang Wook in any role would agree he’s captivating enough to take your breath away. Whether in drama or movie or even in fansigning, I could hardly take my eyes off him.
He’s our Healer so it’s a given he looks cool in every way. Whether wearing t-shirt and jeans or more formal looks, he just exudes cool aura.
You’ll see a lot of his charming grin and swoony charm if you watch “Empress Ki”. His character is probably the only charming and cheeky one in sea of serious and broody characters. Swoon guaranteed!
Ji Chang Wook could turn you into a puddle of goo via one way or another. He loves to stick his tongue out when he feels shy or awkward or yeah simply because he likes it. He loves to make finger hearts or create heart shape over his head too sometimes during fanmeeting or concerts. So adorable!!
I’m totally Wookie-biased, but he’s such amazing person and actor. He manages himself well and rarely involves in scandal, the only scandals I could think is dating news but that’s just rumour so far since he never admit being in a relationship. He has many friends and still keep in touch with them. His sunbae, juniors and co-stars speak highly of him and always praise him. He also treats his fans well and often interacts with them. What’s not to love?
Yeah what’s not to love when your favorite actor happens to be a great actor. He already showed impressive acting skills in every project and always improve himself to become better actor. Since his first lead role “Smile Donghae”, he’s grown leaps and bounds and now recognized as great actor after “Empress Ki” and “Healer”. For now Ji Chang Wook still hasn’t been at the same level with the likes of Ha Jung Woo or Hwang Jung Min, but rest assured in a few years with right projects and right roles he’ll be top actor and even the representative actor of Korea and many acting awards to match his ability.
Ji Chang Wook is the kind of person who’s eager to learn and hone his skills. He’s now into acting, singing, musical and sometimes even attempted dancing to entertain his fans. Haha. He’s versatile and talented entertainer who showcased his skills in dramas, movies, musicals and even as singer, not only in Korea but also in China.
All this talk about Ji Chang Wook won’t be complete without describing him as cute person. He loves doing cute things and it’s just impossible not to love him. Such a cutie!
Ji Chang Wook is a prankster, he loves to prank and gets away with cheeky grins afterward. You could see his natural cheeky self in BTS videos or pictures from the filming set if you need more proofs. Oh cheeky Wookie!
“The sexiest man alive” probably the right title for him. Something about him screams sexy to us! We’re bewitched by this man apparently.
When he wears a suit, he’s both dashing and dazzling! Like there’s a light brighten up his appearance. I always love when he wears a suit, looks sharp and smart! Ji Chang Wook + suit = LOVE!
Ji Chang Wook always loves sports, especially football, as he joins FC Men club with other celebrities. He also mentioned before that he likes to play basketball. He will be appear in his new C-drama "The Whirlwind Girl 2" as taekwondo coach, so there's a lot to look for. He loves work outs too and it’s pretty evident with his abs and great body. Makes me want to go to his gym and work out with him…
Ji Chang Wook is nicknamed Jinergizer because his spirited personality in the filming set according to Park Min Young. He just loves to joke around and brighten the mood and energy in the filming set apparently.
Okay, definitely we don’t know him personally but he looks like a sincere guy you’d like to hang out with because he’s sincere friend you trust and won’t betray you. In almost all of his interviews, he answers the questions with honesty and sincerity, sometimes to the point you’d wonder if it’s the real Wookie because he gives you an honest, almost surprising answer.
He turns 30 this year but he still looks in early 20s as he always has this boyish look and personality. He loves to play around, joke and sometimes doing childish act. He loves making funny faces as well on his Instagram and Weibo. Boy, does he actually grown up man or a boy in man’s clothing?
Korean people loves to give heodang nickname to everyone looking clumsy, a bit odd and easily confused in variety shows and Ji Chang Wook may take the title as well. His Running Man stint is both funny and embarrassing to watch for his fans because his image is just sooo different in Running Man than the one we’re used to. Not to mention he screams to his mom during rollercoaster ride. I’m pretty sure his mom could hear his scream all the way from Taiwan. LOL. I wish he’ll come to more variety like Happy Together or maybe King of Mask Singer? The variety show will be a joy to watch.
So far he hasn’t made any headlines for worst fashion possible so I think he definitely fashionable enough for netizens. For me he looks great with anything and could pull off any looks and fashion styles. His personal style on the other hand is just casual but still stylish enough to wear, such as t-shirt, jeans and sunglasses. He looks adorable with hair down but looks very handsome and sharp with hair up and I have no problem between two styles.
Charismatic Wookie is what made my heart thumping and skipping a beat. His charisma makes him a more compelling actor as he owns screen presence and gravitas needed for acting in dramas or movies. Oh, don’t forget his charismatic side in musicals like “Jack The Ripper” and “The Days” too, even if you only watch the videos on Youtube you could feel the outburst of charisma from Ji Chang Wook.
Ji Chang Wook rarely rests, especially these days when he’s so busy, he goes back and forth from Korea to China. He’s an actor with a project or more to look forward to every year. Since his debut he consistently appears on television every year with new drama. When he finished up a drama, he usually looking up for new projects, doing movie or musicals, being CFs model, photoshoot and interviews, and doing fanmeeting in front of fans. It’s always good when you get to see your bias in regular basis right?
Korean loves to eat but Ji Chang Wook LOVES TO EAT!! He’s gluttony Wookie as far as know due to his obsession and passion on foods. He eats many kinds of food and unsurprisingly he loves to eat rice! He could eat rice with anything apparently. For Korean food, Ji Chang Wook confessed before he loves tteokpokki, pig’s feet and noodles. While for Chinese food, Ji Chang Wook loves hot pot, lamb skewers, and Chinese bun (he tried and liked xiao long bao and vermicelli soup in Taiwan previously). At “The Whirlwind Girl 2” Fanmeeting last month he hilariously re-enacted a scene with the female lead where he courted her with food to date with him. I still pray he’ll come to “Take Care of My Fridge”, he’ll certainly devour every food presented by the chefs.
One of my friends calls him puppy because his eager personality and eyes make him look like a puppy. It maybe not entirely wrong, Wookie does have puppy eyes and his free-spirited personality just adds a dash of inner puppy side (yeah well we make up that one).
His smile is sunshine! It’s filled with rainbows, unicorns, maybe kittens and puppies too. A whole universe will be a lot brighter with his smile alone.
If his smile is sunshine, then his laugh is the sun itself. When you find him laughing out loud, somehow you’ll laugh too. At him. With him. He doesn’t hold back when he laughs and I find it so refreshing having an entertainer with a roaring and infectious laughs. Laugh as you want, Wookie!
Apparently one of the first reasons I stan Ji Chang Wook is because he cries, and he cries sorrowfully he makes me cry too. Such a strange reason eh? But maybe similar to his smile and laugh that is infectious, I’m infected and affected by the way Ji Chang Wook cries. I just know when an actor successfully makes me cry, it means I care a lot about his character and he successfully conveys the emotion to me. Because almost of his works would feature him crying (sometimes crying in every episode or so) I get plenty opportunity to observe this and would cry alongside his characters too. Crybaby eh?
He never even once flaunts his wealth, house, cars, or other luxury items although I’m pretty sure he’s rolling in cash from starring in hit dramas, musicals and CFs model. He never show up in luxury cars either, usually only pictured in his vespa during his trip with his friends or a van used to drive him to shooting location. He even got in the news few years ago because he spotted riding subway with his manager. He mostly wear local brands or brands he endorsed, sometimes he even wear same fashion items like hats or bracelets over and over again. He probably would be your usual neighborhood friend if he’s not a top star.
Whether it's acting or singing, he's very passionate on things he would like to do. When he's cast in Chinese dramas back to back and mostly active in China, he learns Chinese and as a result he could communicate with his Chinese fans in Weibo. He would also learn any skills needed for the character to came alive, he learned martial arts when he filmed Warrior Baek Dong Soo, Healer and The Whirlwind Girl 2, he learned ice-skating for Smile Donghae and he learned how to play a piano when filmed Five Fingers. He's also not afraid to change his looks, to increase or decrease his weight for a role. His dedication is no joke!
Last but not least, borrowing Super Junior’s song, he’s still sexy, free and single! Not that we would abandon him once he date or marry someone but for now he’s still everyone’s man and every woman’s dream. ‘Cause girls can dream surely. Till he gets caught dating or announce his relationship everyone could claim this man.. Ahahaha. But don’t worries Wookie we will support you as always even if you date someone in the future. You’re in your 30! In our country you’d probably would have married and had little babies already. Hehehe.
Happy Birthday to you.. We’ve shown you 30 reasons why we love you. Come to Indonesia and discover more reasons why we’ll always love you!
Once again Happy Birthday to Ji Chang Wook!
