Part 1: Before They Were Famous

Before these two became one of Korea’s top leading men, they once look like the typical target of bullies. Can you guess who they are?

Clue: The first one came into the spotlight after headlining one of the most successful period dramas to grace the small screen while the other one is best remembered for his goofy character in one of the most successful romantic comedies of Korean cinema.

So who are they?

It’s none other than Jumong’s Song Il Guk and My Sassy Girl’s Cha Tae Hyun.

Netizens recently got a hold of this photo of the Lobbyist star when he was a highschool student back in the 80’s. When a celebrity is at the peak of their career, netizens like to dig up their unflattering mug shots so they can feel good about themselves. It kinda works, Song Il Guk was once a normal looking chap now idolized by many– there’s hope for all of us!!

Though the father-to-be looks a thousand miles from his once scrawny, nerdy self– Cha Tae Hyun is still not that confident about the way he looks. He recently revealed how worried he is that his soon-to-be-born son would look like him. Aww.

He showed this photo of him and his highschool sweetheart, for his radio program Ahn Jae Wook and Cha Tae Hyun’s Mr. Radio. They dated for 13 years before tying the knot in 2006 and is currently expecting their first born.
