Joo Ji-hoon, a model-turned-actor, set heart beat wildly when he portrayed Crown Prince Lee Shin in the hit list Drama Series Princess hours per week / Goong in 2006.

The six-foot-two hunk first time as a model in 2003, strutting his hotness for brands like Calvin Klein, Levi's and Reebok.

His debut was active in Old Love but it was Princess Hours - an adaptation of Park Sun-hee's Manhwa series - that in him a star in Asia. In the drama, he plays the cold heart blueblood, is forced to marry a citizen. Of course, if a drama is very popular, you creep, filmmakers, a second season of the show, but nothing is in concrete. Also Ji-hoon's hectic schedule may prevent him from reprising his role.

The well-built actor then went on a strict diet for his 2007 drama The Devil. He lost only 5 kg of chicken to eat and exercise three times a day! Phew, what discipline! In the drama, he starred opposite popular actress Shin Min-a.

The 25-year-old, reportedly, is a very private man (MMM, mysterious, I like), then went on a trophy on 30 March 2007 at the 1st Astar TV Drama Awards, which took place in Seoul. It was for his potential to become a top Asian star. Other recipients of the award include Daniel Wu from Hong Kong, Fan Bing Bing China and Wilson Chan of Taiwan.
