BOF ends tonight. BAWWW
2009-03-31 01:52 pm
Finally, we’ve reached a much-needed post-BOF period. EXCUSE YOU SEOULBEATS. Both on the actors parts and ours. For one, that’s bye bye to pink squiggly BOF font for everything in the world of advertising!
Now for the news. It’s been widely announced that final filming took place on the night of March 29th, ending a 5-month long filming period. The production team has announced that fans will be “appeased” with their finished product.
The end brings the cast on a whirlwind-gruelling filming schedule from all over Korea to Macau and back to an aquatic centre in Incheon. Everyone in the main cast was involved.
Post-BOF, Lee Minho was first to express his afterthoughts. On location he had been numb to end-of-filming and all that goes with it but upon reaching home it finally struck him that everything Goo Jun Pyo was no more. Met with a heavy heart, he had this to say on his web page on the 30th:
“This is the last time I’m writing as Goo Jun Pyo. Filming ended today and it didn’t hit me that all has ended till I got home.Lee Minho is probably missing this. Don’t be alarmed, it isn’t some spoiler, just a happy photo-taking session among the crew and cast after filming wrapped.
I don’t know why but there’s this empty feeling and I can’t sleep. From Autumn 2008 to Spring 2009, it’s been neither a long nor short duration… and it’s been a difficult time for everyone. In the time that filming was ongoing, accidents on and off set were especially many therefore when I felt like I was having a particularly hard time I would wish for filming to end quickly. But everytime this happened, I thought of the fans and all the support they’d given me which gave me the strength to spur on to the finish.
I will always remember the love and support everyone has bestowed upon me and this will make a better Lee Minho in the future. I hope you guys will keep anticipating more from me.”

Kim Hyun Joong, on the other hand, has been only too happy to share his goodbyes with fans. After reportedly spending a bomb on gifts and a personally organised “Goodbye Yoon Ji Hoo” session, fans are reciprocating by forever cementing “Korea’s sunbae” in history. The whole lot of them got together on March 27th to organise a special fund-raising event that amounted to 3.5 mil won. As a final ’send-off’, fans donated the hefty cheque to a charitable organisation under the name of Yoon Ji Hoo instead of KHJ. LOL WOW. Sunbae would have been proud.
And to further express their gratitude or whatever leftover infatuations they had for the fictional character, fans came together again to buy a newspaper advert to send a shoutout to their beloved Ji Hoo sunbae / Kim Hyun Joong.

(Huge text reads: Goodbye Yoon Ji Hoo, Thank You Kim Hyun Joong!)
Oh the extent to which fans can do things…
And of course, catch the LAST of BOF tomorrow night at 9.55 on KBS2TV.

Date: 2009-03-31 12:33 pm (UTC)I have a Korean friend who basically LOL'd when we first talked about BoF, she was like "......is that Lee Min Ho?". Apparently he was in her graduating class back in HS... she says that she never expected him to become famous. I only wish that she had brought her yearbook with her to the US...
