Kim Joon is Not Cool


No, no, no, stop your finger-wagging. I love Kim Joon (Woo-Bin of F4 fame). I think he might be the cutest thing since beagle puppies. However, cool is not the word. Did you SEE those Haptic commercials? (You didn't? Well, then you missed Kim Hyun Joong being more beautiful than Edward Cullen on steroids, but that's another story.) Anyway, Kim Joon is a cross between your dad and your investment broker. I mean, was there ever anything more hilarious than watching him make Lee Min Ho toe the mark, or trying to keep Kim Hyun Joong on the straight and narrow? Other people might have just gone along and giggled, in manner of Son DamBi, but Kim Joon is not those people. Kim Joon, Ladies and Gentleman, is HYUNG.
On top of the whole "I have to make everyone younger behave," thing, there is the dorky laugh and junior-high attitude toward girls thing, or the complete lack of smooth behavior. I cannot cite a single example of this. It is far too pervasive.
If you put the F4 in a line, you have Lee Min Ho, who is a dork but is so charismatic that he comes off cool, Kim Bum, who oozes cool to the point that dorkiness runs from his presence, and Kim Hyun Joong, who is not cool on earth but is so awesome that he makes you believe that he is the coolest alien on whatever alien planet he comes from, and finally, you have Kim Joon, who looks adorable and sort of befuddled.
As my sister pithily put it, Kim Joon had better not stop rapping, because that is the only time he ever looks cool. Yep, pretty much,
Rock on, Kim Joon. Up with nerds.
