Julie Sep 25 2017 12:57 pm I first watched you and Ki Tae Young on “creating destiny”, and was extremely happy you married each other! It’s one the best Kdramas and also can’t get enough watching you two raise beautiful and precious Rohi on “return of Superman”. God bless you all and remain true and faithful to each other. You make one of the most beautiful couples today.

Ignatius J. Riley Sep 22 2017 9:19 am Still the prettiest and sweetest of them all. Eugene, Please maker another drama soon!

IslandGirl4⭐️ May 12 2017 11:44 am Hafa Adai, hope you can come and make a drama here on Guam since you used to stay here...

lrt Apr 27 2017 5:34 pm My favorite Korean actress hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nana Jul 27 2016 6:24 pm I like this actress because she is the only korean lead female that appeared pregnant. She did so many different roles and was good at all of them.

SARANGAE OPPA Apr 05 2016 1:31 am Eugene unni i really i like you esp after knowing that you are married to tae young oppa.you are such a good actress.i really love your cute expressions and you are soo beautiful too!I just finished watching creating destiny.your chemistry is awesome but it is disappointing that you shared less romantic scenes with oppa(probably one liplock scene)but how come you had many kiss scenes in CAN WE LOVE and ALL ABOUT MY MOM.Had i known earlier that you were married to oppa before acting in these series,i would not have watched these series'.unni please stop acting in kiss scenes.I know oppa is soo understanding but at some point of time it might really hurt him.Instaed act in series that really exibits your acting talents more.if any of the eugene's fans gets irritated after reading this comment in future,i would like to apologise to them in advance.i really like Eugene unni but this is how i felt after watching those series.please correct me if i am wrong.anyways,unni my best wishes for you to lead a happy life with oppa and cute rohui and also with your future children as oppa mentioned in TROS.

Hannah Jan 15 2016 10:11 am Eugene, I hope you will do some action drama/film in the future! It's great to be able to see your other side of acting with a different genre! All the best for you & your family:):)

tp Aug 25 2015 7:44 am You're just a beautiful woman!

Tybolt Jun 11 2015 12:22 pm I can't wait until we'll be getting to see the beautiful Eugene on the small screen once again! The only Korean talent who's every movie, or drama, I've seen. I've loved every one of them!!! :)

zabor ilenta Sep 21 2014 4:34 am What i do not understood is in reality how you are now not really a lot more well-preferred than you may be now. You are very intelligent. You realize therefore considerably when it comes to this subject, produced me in my opinion believe it from so many various angles. Its like women and men are not involved except it is something to do with Woman gaga! Your personal stuffs nice. At all times maintain it up!

lj baril Apr 16 2014 8:54 pm eugene kim im so proud of you i want to see you in korea but im 13 years old too much younger but i want to my future to become an actress with you!!!!:)

Brian Regan Feb 25 2014 10:31 pm Someday, I'd just love to spot one single female, anywhere nearly as beautiful as this woman is. I won't be holding my breath though. One a scale of one to ten, Eugene is at least a twelve!

Isata Feb 14 2014 1:18 am I love the she act.. she is a great actress

rickie Feb 09 2014 5:39 pm she is the best actress in all of korea. Speaks good english and gets into the role, no matter what role it is. No one can beat her. you can tell by looking at her she is kind and considerate of others and a sweet person.

Eugene R. Jan 09 2014 10:18 am I really love the character you portrayed in the drama series 'Hundred Year Inheritance'... Fighting! -Philippines :)

SG Nov 21 2013 11:32 pm Love you and Ki Tae Young in Creating Destiny. Hope to see both of you act together again in a drama. Hope and pray God will bless your union with a healthy kid soon.

Great actress Jun 15 2013 10:28 pm I love Eugene,she's gorgeus and will love to see in Hollywood.

Len May 03 2013 4:29 pm Eugene is such a talented actress/singer. I fell in love with her when I first saw "Save the last dance for me". Not only she's beautiful, she seems to be beautiful in the inside too. Wishing AHYI will take the #1 spot.

Gabby Apr 01 2013 4:43 am Eugene, you are talented and one of the most beautiful actress I have ever seen...keep it up! :<3

Cadwalider Mar 29 2013 4:02 pm Beauty beyond compare that has gone unchanged through the years! Any complaints regarding this particular human entity are founded in either green-eyed jealousy or supreme ignorance. Changing her name to "...make her stand out in show business"?!! You really are a "Loony Lizard", my friend.This woman woulds stand out in a crowd of Miss Universe contestants. The fact that she speaks three languages (fluently) is nearly immaterial. She's a stone fox, and that is more than enough to all but ensure her success wherever she chooses to land. The incredible singing and acting talent are but the icing upon this marvelous piece of cake...

mysterygirl Mar 25 2013 12:32 pm I like watching your drama "100 Years Inheritance". It has a good story plot, but i want to see more of you and Lee Sae Yoon. You're one of my favorite actress and I've watched all your dramas. I wish I could see you in person. We'll be visiting Korea soon as a tourist. I'm from U.K., but was born in the Philippines.Fighting!

Carmen Baxter Mar 18 2013 7:12 pm Dear Eugene,

 I'm one of your avid fans here in United States of AMerica but I was born in Philippines.The reason I was here in U.S.A. I married an American guy.I really like all your dramas and I hope you and ki tae young have another drama again.Coz I really love to watch you both.Hope to see you again...

deeyun Mar 17 2013 8:38 am I think dis guy oscar seriously having problem!! whats wrong with Eugene as her name??? As you can see "yoo jin" sounded just the same right? Obviously, you r just sick!

mml Feb 25 2013 1:19 am Dear Eugene, i have finished watching a hundred years inheritance this drama from 1 to 16. Am very upset that you are always being tortured and bullied. Fans, hope you can stay strong and make changes.....

Eugene, 再接再厉，希望得到幸福. Eugene ,加油!! 加油!! 百年的遺產, 加油!! 加油!!

Kelly tran Feb 16 2013 4:45 pm Wow wow I like all of your movies.

black_blood Jan 14 2013 7:11 am @all Eugene Fans : I love Eugene a lot. I have watched every drama and film of Eugene except 'I Really Really Like You / Love Truly'. I haven't watched it because I did not find any subtitles. After searching a lot in internet and asking many, I came to know that these subs are available for the people who have VIA access (should donate atleast 10$ to have VIA access) in WITHS2. Does anyone of you have access to these subtitles? please let me know. If you see my message and even if you does not have those subs, just let me know.

Yume Jan 08 2013 1:15 pm Hundred Year's Inheritance 百年的遺產 백년의유산 this drama i really liked watching, the drama director given you a very good script to act........

Am watching episode 1 and 2 , hope every Saturday and Sunday faster to come then i can watch the rest of the episodes.......

Those who not yet watch this drama, must watch is really worth spending the time to watch.......

Corndog72 Dec 04 2012 9:58 am Wow! The one person that I thought would easily rate 100% is at 91? I owe my entire Korean entertainment fandom to this very lady. Wouldn't miss anything that she appears in. She's enormously likable and talented and simply breathtaking... :)

Lileth Apr 22 2012 10:38 pm Hi! Your acting at the baker's king drama was so good and you're one of the most beautiful faces in Korean drama.. I just learned that you got married, how I wish pa naman that you will be team up with Joo won again, you were so cute being together. with him.. But it's okey.. hoping you have a good married life.. your avid fan..

skilled imaginative young designer Dec 24 2011 9:39 am Heya i am for the primary time here. I found this board and I find It really helpful & it helped me out a lot. I am hoping to offer one thing back and help others such as you helped me.

Ann Dec 23 2011 3:11 pm Eugene! You're the best actress, I already admired you from the drama "King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo"!!! And I'm happy that you found yourself a man :) You're gorgeous and talented. And I hope your sister will be ok after the car accident! So that you can act in a new drama! ~Love from Eugene's fans! <3

LoonyLizard Dec 18 2011 2:48 pm @wth: Those are all shortened versions of traditional girl names in the West; Sam = Samantha, Alex = Alexis, Chris = Christina. You didn't know this?

Like a lot of Americans, I find Eugene to be an odd name for a girl, especially since a lot of TV, movies, and radio programs over here traditionally use it for the roles of weak, socially inept, nerdy men. I get that it's close to Yu-Jin in phonetic terms, but it's something of a shock to expect to see a male loser and then be faced with a stunningly beautiful woman. From my cultural standpoint, ethnocentric though it may be, the first thought that comes to my head is, "Who would hate her that much, to saddle her with THAT name?" I'm just saying this is how it strikes me. If it works for her in her homeland, more power to her. Just be aware that it could hamper expansion into certain Western markets. And yes, that is a relevant point, since Eugene is the woman's stage name, something chosen specifically to make her stand out in show biz.

Melissa Nov 16 2011 10:34 pm OMG I'm watching seeking love really good drama the best it shows her husband there and what funny is they are engaged In the drama she's do pretty and a good actress

cherrylava Sep 14 2011 1:20 am When i first saw you in 'Save your last dance for me" i found you are so cute n pretty but i'm falling head over heel with u after watching 'Wonderful Life'.You're such a talented actress i don't think anyone else fits your role in that drama.Congrats on your wedding with Ki Tae Young oppa!.And nothing is wrong with her name.She's a former SES k-pop girl band and 'E' stands for her.Love you always!

Both Aug 26 2011 9:41 pm She is really cool!

beu Jun 01 2011 3:10 am hi i heard she is getting married congrats i like u & ur drama very very much and love somebody so that u can hold her or his hand and say i give u my all love and never ever forget it

green030381 May 12 2011 11:43 am She used "Eugene" because of S.E.S. She belonged to SES when she started as a singer in 1997. S (Sea or Bada), E (Eugene), S (Shoo). Also, she grew up in Guam, however, her English name at that time was Gloria. I knew girls with the name "Eugene", so what's the problem with that? Morever, she's getting married to her love interest in Seeking Love/Creating Destiny Ki Tae-Young in July. They really look good together & have been together for over a year. Best wishes & congratulations to them! :)

Hunny21 Apr 25 2011 11:29 pm I dont care her name Eugene or Yoo Jin..for me she just a great actress, talented and beautiful. She my fav Korean artist n luv her..Eugene shi Fighting!!! make me proud of you!

tsion Mar 31 2011 12:25 pm to tell the truth u are very talented than yang mi sooo...and I am so proud of u very much..

karo Mar 12 2011 8:55 am HEY, GUYS! STOP JUDGING HER NAME & HER PERSONAL LIFE! All OF U SHOULD ADMIT THAT SHE IS TALENTED & BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS & SINGER. That's it! Stop gossiping!

michan Jan 19 2011 1:33 am ha...ha...ha... kok ada yg brantem ya! aduh2 ngocol perut bgt. but anyways eugene u`re older than I thought! it surprised me since in bread, love and dreams u were matched with ma jun (don`t know exactly his name) that older than u (1987 Vs 1981) you are as old as my brother, even know my brother has got married and has two sons around..... your face is really identical with pain.... I think there`s no role match you much except for antagonist role..... ha...ha... just kidding..... keep up! it would be a honor to see your face again in another movie!!!!

qeyzn Dec 06 2010 11:59 pm WTH?? what's wrong with this Oscar guy? from where i lived, most of 'Eugene' ARE girls.. Thank god Oscar didn't criticize my U-know.. it's pretty common for Korean to use an ENGLISH name which sounds exactly like their real name..

wth Nov 17 2010 7:40 pm Who names a girl "Sam"? Who names a girl "Alex"? Who names a girl "Chris"?

Who cares if her name is Eugene! Sounds better for a girl than a guy. Sounds tough. Her Korean name is Yoo-Jin so it must've been close to Eugene that's why she had it as Eugene in English?! Plus, she grew up in Australia!

Julie Nov 16 2010 12:53 pm OMg,LOLOLOLOLO ROFL!!! You guyz are the best!! I laughed to death! Keep fighting Oscar and the other one =)) For the 1st oscar : The girl is very pretty and she is a good actress!

marty May 20 2010 9:54 pm Eugene is unisex its just not common to see a girl with it and personally i think its hot.

soybean Mar 18 2010 1:53 am yea, yea..true..agreed...there are many other actors and actresses who prefer to use stage names, and the real thing that matters is just the talent, not the name...zzzz..people nowadays, really, they really like to judge others..sohai noob..-_-"

Jin Dec 07 2009 3:13 am Many folks have stage names. Her character and talent defines her better than a name. ROCK ON!!! Never mind the negativity.

Oscars are idiot Nov 18 2009 2:35 am Seriously oscars are simply idiotic ppl. wake up, OSCARS! oscar's such a cool name but its totally wasted on such idiotic and dumbass ppl like you two. why can't ppl choose the name they like?wats your problem,OSCAR?? you're the one who is mentally challenged, RETARD!! ASSHOLE!!

Oscar Oct 14 2009 9:03 pm Hey oscar the loser, learn some grammar. It's "YOU'RE such a loser". You're too mentally challenged to even insult me correctly.

lelouch Apr 20 2009 6:18 pm i soo want to see her sing again..it's been quite a time since we saw her sing and i really loved her singing..jope to see some news music from her soon and keep it going like this you're one of the most talented actress ever..

The Bunny From Next Door Mar 25 2009 7:41 pm The only reason she has Eugene as her name is because it sounds like yu-jin if you listen to it differently you'll understand. i think she is really pretty and that she plays quite alot of characters i like. I do want to see her act with Lee min ki again. they go so well together..

Arianne Mar 10 2009 1:02 am Ang Ganda Mo Talaga......Luv Lots...............

Oscar the Loser Jan 17 2009 5:35 am common sense naman your such a loser oscar

Oscar Dec 30 2008 3:54 am What kind of a name is Eugene for a girl? In her blind wanting for an English name, she will sacrifice her gender? What a crock. What's wrong with Kin Yu-Jin? Be proud of who you are and where you come from.

peyton Oct 14 2008 9:15 am eugene! you're the most talented and beautiful korean actress ever! =)
