#khottie

[khottiesofkchatjjigae]

It must have something to do with the change in seasons and light but I’ve been seriously craving waffles. I don’t particularly like them for breakfast, too much sweetness to early in the morning but there is nothing more comforting than waffles for dinner. Thankfully I have friends who are always willing to humor me and so Friday night was waffle night…as awesome as I remembered. I feel like I could wax poetic about waffles for awhile but you are all likely sitting there wondering why I am talking about waffles when I should be talking khottie…

Kim Jae Wook, aka waffle guy from Coffee Prince, is a relatively well-known actor and model. He spent a large part of his childhood in Japan, thus his fluent Japanese. Coffee Prince was his first big role and was one of the first dramas I watched. While I’ll admit I didn’t pay him much attention (my focus was elsewhere…), I recently rediscovered him while watching Temperature of Love. He’s playing a strong B lead that while I don’t particularly love what he’s doing I can sympathize with where he’s coming from.

I didn’t recognize him right away as he’s best known for his long locks.

I’ll be honest and admit I don’t love long hair on men but it does look good on him.

Even better when you add glasses.

You can tell his background is modeling as it was hard to find pictures of him smiling…

You might understand why I didn’t recognize him again… 

I love a good sexy smolder…especially in the tub.

Or in the city.

The ones you’ve all been waiting for.

He comes across, at least to me, as so serious…not always it would seem.

You can find him, minus any waffles, on Instagram @jaeuck.kim.

I’m off to find me some more waffles!

Anybody here play StarPOP?  It’s a phone game that basically lets you keep an idol as a pet – think Farmville, but with more hand hearts.  Until recently they only had SM Entertainment artists, and I had slaved to keep Key and Xiumin happy before I inevitably lost interest in my sweet, but high maintenance, boys. Well, they recently announced the addition of B.A.P to the lineup!  (They have also added CNBLUE!).  I decided to rejoin so I could play with Bang, but his avatar is sort of odd looking, so I went with Winwin instead. However, SaraG is playing with Daehyun, and he’s perfect in both looks and personality for the game.  He’s always been fabulous at fan service.  So in honor of the game, and B.A.Ps impending comeback (Yay!), this week’s Khottie will be Daehyun.

Seriously, SO GOOD at fan service.

One of the things I have always admired about Daehyun is he is very fan focused.  Even when they’re between comebacks, he is always reaching out to BABYs on media or putting out some kind of performance.

I don’t love his solo singing – Sorry, Daehyun – I think he blends beautifully with his group though. And I love to watch him perform – he’s very emotive and dynamic.

Have you watched any of the show on V Live called LieV?  Idols climb into bed, under pretty soft lighting, and talk you quietly to sleep.  I love watching it.  They always look gorgeous, and its really soothing. No games, no screaming, just them talking to you. It’s the best thing ever.

So so pretty!  Daehyun is one of those idols that looks good in everything the stylist puts on him.  The Dude Ranch Cowboy thing for B.A.P’s Rose was a lot to deal with visually, but look how good he looks!

He can wear any hair color.  I found a lot more than even this multitude of colors below.  I wonder what conditioner he uses to keep his hair from turning into straw?

He can do the tough concepts – gangster, street kid – you name it. Especially now that his face has matured and its not as tempting to pinch his cheeks.

The Boyfriend concept (or as I like to call it, “Boys is regular clothes”) is perfect on him.  This is how he appears in the StarPOP game.  So cute!

But of course, my favorite is the sexy concept.  I think they’re his favorites too.  Look at him working that gorgeous little mole under his eye.

So, I hope everyone is looking forward to what B.A.P and Daehyun have in store for us with this Blue comeback!  The last one for Wake Me Up was wonderful and they deserve all of our love.  See you next week!

P.S.  If you join the StarPOP game and want to friend me, just let me know!

Recently, I’ve been watching Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and it reminds me how much I love Ji Soo.  So it was a natural for me to cover him for this week.

I am not entirely certain that he’s a good actor. I mean, maybe he is? Its a little hard for me to tell in the range of parts I’ve seen him play.  But even so, I love him in everything he does.  I think, more than his acting, its his charisma.  Does that make sense?  Can charisma equal good acting?

Here he is in one of my all-time favorite drama scenes.  Slight spoiler for Sassy Go Go/Cheer up!

And he is glorious to look at.  Even all beaten up.

It seems that he gets cast as angry youth/rebel a lot.  And thats OK, because I like to watch him do it.  I have a soft spot for bad boys.

And he frequently plays “not the sharpest tool in the shed” as well.  Which is also OK. Any way for there to be more time for me to stare at him is good.

Can you see that little freckle on his nose?  I love that freckle.  I am sure I am not the only person out there who would like to kiss it.

SaraG pointed out that he has great thighs.  Up until that point, I hadn’t really noticed, but now I can’t stop watching them every time he appears in a scene in tight jeans.

I’m an eyes and lips girl myself, so I had already noticed his mouth.

And that he has bedroom eyes.

Its weird to me to think he didn’t think he would make it as an actor because he wasn’t handsome enough.  It seems like a lot of us disagree!

Thats it for this week.  I’ve had a few requests come in so expect some interesting faces in the next couple of weeks!  Have a good week!

Khottie of the Week: Park Hae Jin

For my birthday this year, Stephanie gave me a card that reads “May this year be refreshingly normal.” At this point, I think we can all agree that ship has sailed…far far far out of sight. I’m finding in these not normal times, having the distraction and escapism of klife is even more important. Last weekend I started the new drama Forest, partly because an article I read said it showed relaxing…

Khottie of the Week: Park Jin Woo

When I told Stephanie in a text that I was quite excited to be doing JinJin for this week’s khottie, her response was “Who is JinJin?” I won’t include my response here but let’s just say Stephanie is going to be very familiar with JinJin by the time I’m done.    (more…)

Khottie of the Week: Im Chang Kyun

Khottie of the Week: Im Chang Kyun

It always feels somewhat bittersweet when the maknae of a group you’ve followed since your early days of #klife turns 24. It’s a made-up milestone that really has no meaning but when you write this post every week it starts to feel like a turning point. A turning point towards what I’m not sure but at least we can commemorate with a post. (more…)

TH_Hottie of the Week: Nawat Kulrattanarak

I was cleaning up my khottie notes and stumbled across a reader suggestion from quite a while ago now. The comment had been about how he’s 40 and still hot in his shirtless scenes and so I decided to take another look…honestly not really sure how I missed it the first time around. Turns out the reader was right and what follows Valentine’s Day Friday better than a shirtless hottie on Saturday.
