Jun Ji Hyun gives off an air of sophistication as she will be gracing the April cover of 'Elle' for six different locations across Asia--China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Singapore!

Jun Ji Hyun is proving her power as a Hallyu star. Beloved for her hit SBS drama 'You Who Came from the Stars' and her now legendary depiction of the character Chun Song Yi, Jun Ji Hyun dishes out details of filming the drama with 'Elle' in an interview and also talks about her upcoming movie, 'Assassination' for the April issue. A sneak peek of the interview can be read here.

According to reports, Jun Ji Hyun has shot separate cover pictures for China and Hong Kong. The Taiwan, Malaysian, Vietnamese, and Singaporean covers are scheduled to be published soon!

150410 Jun Ji Hyun reported to be in a quarrel with neighbors over construction space


Looks like Jun Ji Hyun isn't getting along with her neighbors all too well (a la Cheon Song Yi?). On April 8, it was reported that her neighbors are making complaints regarding the modifications Jun Ji Hyun made to her 7 billion won (approx. $6.4 million USD) villa.

According to one media outlet, Jun Ji Hyun officially purchased her villa located in the Samseong neighborhood of Seoul back on June 25 2014. The actress then began construction, completely demolishing the villa and rebuilding it anew. However, neighbors are complaining that the awkward placement of Jun Ji Hyun's new parking lot has caused them inconveniences for almost a year.

A property representative commented, "The villa is lined up along a narrow road. Jun Ji Hyun's house is located on the C-line. If she builds her parking lot, it will face the D-line building's entrance. Of course it will cause traffic."


Whether Jun Ji Hyun will make changes to her plans or if her neighbors will take legal action is still unknown.

Presently, Jun Ji Hyun's villa is still torn down. Although the actress is not currently residing there, she is known to possess a lot of property elsewhere. In fact, she's estimated to have around a whopping 30 billion won ($27 million USD) worth of property in total. In 2007, she purchased a 9 billion won ($8.2 million USD) building in the Nonhyun neighborhood. Its current market price is around 15 billion won ($14 million USD). In 2013, Jun Ji Hyun additionally bought a 3.1 billion won ($2.8 million USD) villa in the Ichon neighborhood before going on to buy the villa in the Samseong neighborhood.

150409 Jun Ji Hyun looks just as beautiful in B-cut photos for 'Shesmiss'


If you've taken a look at Jun Ji Hyun's photos for 'Shesmiss' a little while back, you might have noticed how stunning she looks. Now the B-cut photos from that photoshoot have been released, and the photos are actually equally as beautiful.

It's a wonder why these photos are even considered B-cut as she showed off her lean physique, looking chic and ready for spring in light jackets and casual clothing.

Take a look at some more photos below! Don't you think they look just as nice as her A-cut photos?



150406 Who Wore it Better: Tiffany vs. Jun Ji Hyun


We're back for another round of 'Who Wore it Better'! This time, our challengers are two fan favorites--Girls' Generation's Tiffany and actress Jun Ji Hyun.

The two starlets were seen wearing a pink, one-piece Valentino dress (can be found here for $2,690 USD). With its A-line shape and flouncy sleeves, it's a bold, girly piece that looks as if it came right out of Barbie's closet. While Tiffany was spotted wearing the dress during the SMTOWN exhibition at the COEX building in December 2014, Jun Ji Hyun gave the dress a whirl on March 26 during a perfume brand Hera event.

The dress makes for a simple outfit by itself, but there are slight differences to how the two women wore it. Tiffany left her dress alone for the most part, wearing nothing else but her silver heels. She offers a clean, uncomplicated look. Meanwhile, Jun Ji Hyun decorates her dress a bit more, sporting a floral collar, chunky rings, and black heels.

I can't say I like the dress. The cut and the color make the dress look as if it were tailored for someone in their teens or even tweens. If I have to pick a winner, I'd say Tiffany wins this round, only because the fit of the dress looks a bit more flattering on her and her silver heels complement the pink nicely. As for Jun Ji Hyun, I'm not a fan of her floral collar as it adds to the childlike and innocent vibe of the dress, which doesn't really suit her mature and sophisticated image.

What do you guys think? Who wore it better?

150318 Jun Ji Hyun talks about Chun Song Yi in stunning shoot with 'Elle'


Jun Ji Hyun exuded elegance and class in her shoot with 'Elle' and talked about her latest project, movie 'Assassination', which she finished filming recently in February. In the film, she plays the part of elite sniper Ahn Ohk Yoon, and the actress explained she did feel some burden to pull off the character well but tried to take it in as calmly as possible.


On one of her most popular roles as the quirky Chun Song Yi in the hit drama 'You Who Came From the Stars', Jun Ji Hyun said, "Honestly, she was a difficult character to act out," explaining how she kept having to portray the character positively, but wanted to show something more, which was a burden. She continued, "While doing 'You Who Came From the Stars', I felt a sense of duty that I had to make people laugh once per episode."


She also explained how she preferred acting out characters that were different from her true personality like in movies 'Berlin' and 'Assassination' because it actually felt like acting to her rather than when she played somebody similar to herself.

150313 Park Joon Hyung confirms it's Jun Ji Hyun's voice in g.o.d's song 'Lies'


On the March 13 broadcast of KBS radio program, 'Jang Dong Min and Lady Jane's 2 O'Clock,' g.o.d's Park Joon Hyung answered the question that was on many people's minds regarding the classic, "Lies."

He had to choose g.o.d's best four songs, so he chose "Lies" as one, which is an excellent choice for sure. He said, "When we perform it, the fans do the narration by Jun Ji Hyun in her stead." His use of "narration" is interesting as, if I'm correct, the only part consisting of a woman's voice are shrieks of "No, no!"

Jang Dong Min replied, "There was lots of talk about whether this voice really was Jun Ji Hyun's." Park Joon Hyung confirmed, "She was in the same agency and we knew her since her period of anonymity, so Jun Ji Hyun ended up doing it. It's a really fun incident."

He continued, "Thanks to this song, we were even able to win the Daesang (Grand Prize) and were able to use standing mics for the first time since becoming a singer." Lady Janesaid, "I was an H.O.T fan, but this song was so good that my pride was hurt. [g.o.d] became popular, so I stamped my feet angrily," making everyone laugh.

150225 Jun Ji Hyun is the definition of sophistication in 'Shesmiss's trench coats inspired by the actress herself


Jun Ji Hyun looks stunning in new trench coats created by women's clothing brand, 'Shesmiss', but even more interesting is the fact that this 'Jun Ji Hyun Blossom Trench Coat Collection' was inspired by the actress herself! With her fashionista status, it's not surprising a line has named a whole collection after her. 

With her tall stature and chic nonchalance, Jun Ji Hyun wows with pastel and neutral colored clothing for the upcoming spring. Just like the rest of us, she is probably looking very much forward to the warmer weather, and she's certainly ready for it looking classy and sophisticated in these transition pieces.
