Gong Yoo “Wicked Boy” Book of Confessions

Talking Incessantly About Nothing

Unlike the “cold prince” type he portrays in TV dramas, the real GY is actually quite talkative. In this regard, both Kim Sun Ah and Nam Sang Mi who worked with him before, feel the same. During the filming of S Diary, GY would unload all his recent gripes to KSA which would sometimes last for over two hours, making KSA suspect that there must be a woman living inside GY’s body. Unnie KSA also said that it was only every time they finished talking, that she would realize that all GY talked about was nonsense, the kind of things that she would not have any recollection whatsoever. But GY treats women differently, based on whether he is close to them or not, he would talk incessantly beside those women who are close to him, but would not have anything to say to women who are not close to him.

Doesn’t care about bad image

Most people in the entertainment field take extreme care of their image, they must maintain the most perfect appearance and always look like “the prince in the mirror”, but GY in this regard can be said to be thoroughly the “rough” type.

He not only would not bring a mirror everywhere, but he would not have any regard for the basic image that an actor should project , making all his friends around him jokingly refer to him as “not having any movie star consciousness” in him.

Other actors would refuse to have their photographs taken without fixing their appearance beforehand, but GY doesn’t care, and would have his pictures taken any time even when his face has not been fixed by the make-up artist and he is not properly dressed. He feels that even if he is an actor, he should still live like a man and it’s not necessary to be like women who worry about trivial matters like whether their hair is properly arranged and whether the dress they are wearing is appropriate.

No Regard for Age

Behind the scenes, GY is wickedly mischievous towards his leading ladies no matter what their age. In CP, the hot tandem of GY and YEH did not have any scandal because the way they treat each other is really too “MAN(LY)”. Whenever GY and YEH meet in the drama, naughty GY would use his hand to knock on YEH’s head as a form of greeting. Not before long, YEH also followed this gesture, and they ended up greeting each other in this manner hitting each other on the head continuously not satisfied until the other one cries out in pain. How can people think of them as being sweet together? GY and KSA in S Diary acted as a pair of lovers in the movie and as required by the script GY would call KSA “My Baby, My dear, etc…”. But after filming has ended, GY still called KSA, who is several years older than him, “My baby, my dear” and did not use the formal style of speaking with KSA (as per Korean custom when speaking with elders) making KSA grit her teeth as there is nothing she could do about this “disrespectful” younger brother.

Actually He is also very Manly

Although he is not considered to be handsome but he has a strong manly appearance, first rate superb body, and have an exceptional bond with women, GY being like this as he is, constantly gives off dangerous signals to the women around him. One time, when he was asked once again when he had the experience of his first love, GY’s reply surprised everyone, he said that “Although it may sound like a joke, for me my first love is my last love. The girl I finally marry with whom I have a family together, that girl is my first love. I believe that the relationship must have that result for it to become my first love. If somebody asks me who my first love is, I will say that my first love is my wife. The one I love who is beside me now is the most precious one; compared to remembering the past, treasuring the present is more important.”
