As illustrated in the above picture from Nintendo of Korea’s newly launched site, Korean megastar Jang Dong-gun has been hired to be the Big N’s first ever poster boy in the land of the morning calm. Star of the blockbuster ‘Chingu’ (a good flick to boot), he looked better before his recent jaw reduction.
Okay, so I have no definite proof that he got both sides of his jaw cut down, but he completely disappeared from the radar for a few months before returning with half the jaw he had before. Rule of thumb: Whenever Korean stars disappear for more than a month, they’re ruining their faces with completely unnecessary plastic surgery ordered by their agents.
Now hit the link below to head on over and check out glamor shots of Jang testing his brain age with a DS lite. My wife (Korean) took a gander at the site and said the Korean public is gonna eat it up. I think she’s right.
Update: I checked out the official info at the site, and it looks like Nintendo really has done something about Daiwon’s mismanagement — all of the higher-ups are Japanese, and the address is now south river, a welcome change from the red light district of Yongsan. This is really, really good news. I guess Iwata really is serious about Korea
