All About Kenneth

May 17, 2005

To all fans of Kenneth of All About Eve, this article is for you!

We all know the handsome gentleman in All About Eve named Kenneth, who’s in love with Nicole (played by Chae Rim), who in turn is the mortal enemy of Erica (played by the hottie actress/model Kim So Yun), who in turn dumped Warren (played by Han Jae Suk).

He’s Jang Dong Gun, one of Korea’s talented matinee idols. He was born on March 7, 1972 in Seoul. He studied in Han-Gook School of Arts, majoring in Drama. But due to his busy schedule in his acting career, he quitted school in his third year. He started his acting career in 1992.

Since then, he has starred in many movies and TV dramas. His latest movie is The Promise (2005). (I think it’s also shown here in the Philippines? Parang nakita ko na ito eh. I’ll verify…) His TV dramas include All About Eve (2000) and Myth of A Hero (1997). He received many awards in acting, such as:

1994 - Baek-Sang Arts Award: TV Drama New Actor Award

1997 - Baek-Sang Arts Award: Popularity Award

1997 - MBC-TV Best Actor Award

1997 - Chung-Ryong Movie Festival: New Actor Award with Pae-Ja-Bu-Hwal-Jun

1999 - Chung-Ryong Movie Festival: Supporting Actor Award with In-Jung-Sa-Jung-Bol-Gut-Up-Da (”Take Nothing into Consideration”).

His hobby is singing. In fact, he sang in Episode 14 of All About Eve, entitled I Will Give You All. (But unfortunately, it was not included in the show’s OST.) He also plays basketball and ice hockey.
