Ha Ji Won’s 美男 福 VS Im Soo Jung’s 美男 福
美男 = ‘minam‘ = beautiful men
福 = ‘bok‘ – from the context here ‘luck’ seems to be the most fitting word, i.e. ‘luck with beautiful men’, but it also can mean ‘happiness’, ‘fate’, ‘opportunity’ etc.
This is a translation of a hilarious 10Asia article by Choi Ji Eun > http://10.asiae.co.kr/Articles/new_view.htm?a_id=2011011718594573166
Ha Ji Won
“Are you in pain? I’m in pain too,” Lee Seo Jin told her. (MBC <Damo>) Was together with So Ji Sub before dying at the hands of Jo In Sung. (SBS<What Happened in Bali>) Caused Kwon Sang Woo, who had devoted his entire life to God, to break his beliefs. (<Love, So Divine>) Confronted ‘Sad Eyed’ Kang Dong Won in a swordfight. (<Duelist>) Without asking for it, caught the eyes of Jang Geun Suk. He became her first love. (KBS <Hwang Jin Yi>) She even appeared in a song – “My beautiful legs, please be like Ha Ji Won’s~” Was by the side of Kim Myung Min during his last days. (<Closer to Heaven>) Foam-kissed Hyun Bin, and after 5 years of marriage, give birth to 3 children and lived happily ever after. (<SBS Secret Garden>)
In her previous life, she wasn’t just a Damo, she probably saved the whole nation.
How else could all these have happened?
Im Soo Jung
Was Moon Geun Yeong’s elder sister. (<A Tale of Two Sisters>) Nearly became the young bride of Kim Rae Won. (<…ing>) Died after So Ji Sub’s death. (KBS <I’m Sorry, I Love You>) Lover of the world’s most handsome fireman, Jung Woo Sung. (<Sad Movie>) Even when the song went “I loved till the heart is all exhausted,” she still met Jung Woo Sung again. (<Maxim CF>) Was admitted into a mental hospital and met Rain. (<I’m a Cyborg, but That’s OK>) “Me, well, I don’t really have the most exceptionally beautiful face, you see,” this famous end-quote of hers which seduced Taoist wizard Kang Dong Won. (<Jeon Woo Chi>) While looking for her first love, she got Gong Yoo instead. (<Looking For Kim Jong Wook>) After marrying Hyun Bin for 5 years, she couldn’t overcome her excess 福 and left home for another man. (<Come Rain, Come Shine>)
In her previous life, she didn’t just save the whole nation, she probably saved the earth.
If not… this cannot happen, no. The winner takes it all, what else can I say?

who is ha ji won? sorry if there is no drama “secret garden” most of them couldnt even know her. she is not bad but please you are comparing ha ji won with Im SOO JUNG! (korean nb1 actress!) you can search her rank! go and watch ım soo jung movies then come and compare them I never watched anyone who is most unique, talented and lovely as IM SOO JUNG! any movie critics manage to compare her with anyone! but ha ji won pleaseee go compare ha ji won’s talent with other drama actresses but not im soo jung! ıts not fair for HJW the other girl is directors favorite,actors favorite, koreans favorite…. main actress of all blockbuster korean movies, she a lot of foreign award winner and main actress of best korean drama ever (I’m sorry I love you) I love both but of course winner is im soo jung
2012/01/02 at 4:20 pm
excuse me!!!!!! ha ji won is the number 1 korean actress of all time sad to say no one can compare to her a multi- talented and multi-awarded actress …she is so famous eventhough without secret garden, from what happened in bali , damo and hwang jini oh well she is also respectable woman , most of her movies are blockbuster such as miracle on first street, daddy long legs , heundae ,sex is zero and so on so forth she is also one of the called name ha-son-kim the top three actress of korea and she is on top one list , she is also listed as the number one korean actress which named box office star including jang dong gun , won bin and etc..undoubtedly she is uncomparable so pls….stop comparing her with that actress ,,,ha ji won popularity is not only in korea but also around the world that’s why they called her angelina jolie of korea ….pls…pls….pls….don’t compare ha ji won to this actress coz undoubtedly they were not the same level……..and besides i’m not korean but i admired ha ji won so much the only korean actress that i idolized….!!!!!!!!
2012/01/02 at 10:42 pm
I’m indonesian but i know ha ji won..i even known her since ”what happened in bali” and that drama very famous here..also that drama its a looooooonggg time ago before ”secret garden”. Secret garden just make her even more famous. But sorry i don’t know im so jung..Honestly i’m not drama korea addict…its just simple example that how people like me even known ha ji won..
I comment here coz you said she famous becoz secret garden, i think you wrong and you must know that somewhere out there (not korean) know her before that drama and her acting is awesome.
2012/06/16 at 5:09 pm
I think you are wrong,, HA JI WON, best known as a Korean artist NB not because of his series of “secret garden”,, HA JI WON has long been famous since the series “Secret”, “Damo”, “Hwang Jini”, .. not just NB1 series are made but the movie always offies box, the evidence is “sex = 0”, “100 with mr arrogan”, “my love by my side”, “heundae”, “sector 7” ..
IM SOO JUNG and who he is?, I have never heard of him or what series and movies starring her .. and for comparing an HA JI WON and IM SOO JUNG,,, would be very much difference ..
you know what the meaning of an award?,, awards achieved by the HA JI WON from the start of his career until now to prove that he was the best actress that is owned by a Korean.
2012/06/26 at 5:17 pm
Ha Ji Won Unnie Love 4Ever
2012/06/26 at 4:58 pm
I really love the HA JI WON,, no one owned by actress korea now .. if you compare with IM SOO JUNG she,,, waaaaoooo, you are wrong …. Im Soo Jung who is it??,, his name even I never heard, so stop comparing sister Ji Won with any actress because she would not be comparable.,.
2012/06/26 at 5:28 pm
HA JI WON♥♥♥ no one can beat her
2012/10/31 at 8:05 pm
HA JI WON ❤ <3<3 ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ GO QUEEN OF THE DRAMA!!! GO QUEEN OF DRAMA!! NO ONE CAN BEAT HER! 🙂 😀 daebak!
2013/02/12 at 12:28 pm
I don’t know Im Soo Jung. I never watch her movie or drama so can’t judge her acting skill. I love korean drama and Ha Ji Won performace. She always trys so hard to complete her roles (doing the stunt job by herself in King 2 Heart and Setor7 or obtaing motorcycle/scuba diving licenses for her movie) She always show good chemistry with co-actors. I love SG, K2H, and now Empress ki drama a lot. I just read a article that Ha Ji Won is 1st actress sign contract with The United Agent and she may head toword Hollywood after Empress ki. Anyways Thank you for all hard work to bring us good drama Ha Ji Won fighting. Hope she will continue has many great oppotunities to prove her skill in acting career.
