Ahn Jae Wook (안재욱)


This man is so unassuming and down to earth that you tend to forget how big a star he really is. Despite having thousands of fans who adore him in Korea, Japan, China, South America and the rest of Asia, Ahn Jae Wook remains very approachable and humble.

Ahn graduated from Seoul Arts University where he majored in theater. At the young age of 23, he made his first television appearance as a blind doctor in the MBC drama Song of Blind Bird.

After Song of Blind Bird, he landed a role in the weekend drama Partner which ran for three years. He was trapped in student roles until he got his big break and was offered the lead in the drama Star In My Heart. That drama catapulted him into superstar status and also kicked off his singing career.

In the final episode of Star In My Heart, Ahn's character performed the song "Forever" in concert. "Forever" - the song was a huge hit and his first album of the same name sold 700, 000 copies. Incidentally, FOREVER is also the name of Ahn Jae Wook's fan club.

Ahn Jae Wook paired up with Cha Tae Hyun to host the radio program KBS COOL FM Mr. Radio from April 16, 2007 - June 30, 2008. During the time Ahn and Cha were hosting Mr Radio it was the most popular radio program in South Korea! On the final broadcast of the program, Ahn told listeners that he really enjoyed his time on Mr. Radio and had not laughed so much in his life.



He is also an avid baseball fan and is known to attend live games during baseball season. Ahn also belongs to his own baseball team called Jemisama.
