5 Memories From That “One Summer Night” When Jung Hae In Gave Us So Much Love

Unlike most idols and actors, Jung Hae In started his acting career late. He has already completed his military service and finished his tertiary education when he signed under FNC Entertainment, home to FTISLAND, CNBLUE, Lee Dong Gun, and Yoo Jae Suk.

For a fast-paced and competitive industry such as the Korean entertainment industry, debuting at the age of 26 will require double the hard work to make his solid mark. And Jung Hae In did just that. He started off with supporting roles in the television series Bride of the Century and The Three Musketeers, headlined by his labelmates Lee Hong Ki and Jung Yong Hwa, respectively.

From 2014 to 2016, he went on to appear in supporting roles and make cameo appearances including as Kim Go Eun’s first love in Guardian: The Lonely and Great God. Little by little, people are coming to know the name Jung Hae In. And in 2017, his team up with Lee Jong Suk and Bae Suzy for While You Were Sleeping became the turning point — that big break he has been cultivating in the past years.

The name Jung Hae In became a household name. His filmography continues to list outstanding works including dramas Prison Playbook, Something in the Rain, and One Spring Night, as well as, films The King’s Case Note, Conspiracy: Age of Rebellion, and Heung-boo: The Revolutionist, and his reunion project with Kim Go Eun titled Tune In For Love, Soon, it will include the romance drama Half of a Half with Chae Soo Bin.

And if there’s one more proof of the immense popularity and Hallyu star status of Jung Hae In, it was last Saturday, September 28, at the New Frontier Theater, where fans from all over the Philippines (and the world) gathered to spend ONE SUMMER NIGHT with the dashing and ever-charming actor.

Presented by Wilbros Live and FNC Entertainment, the One Spring Night actor returned to the archipelago to once again meet his Filipino fans and captivate them with his charms, values, and wisdom through the JUNG HAE IN FAN MEETING TOUR 2019 – ONE SUMMER NIGHT.

Reminisce the night with us as we list down five (of the many) memories from that night that we will forever remember and treasure deeply.

#1 Sweet Serenades from the Man of the Hour

Jung Hae In kicked off and ended the night with sweet and heartwarming serenades that got all fans falling over and over again with him. He also captivated everyone with his soothing voice through his rendition of “When The Wind Blows”. In addition, he generously granted fans’ request for a “sample” of a song by Paul Kim whom the actor revealed he likes and listens to.

Although we did not get to personally hear him sing or dance to the boy group’s song, the actor also named popular boy group BTS as one of his favorite artists during the press conference held at Marco Polo Hotel on September 27. According to him, he personally owns an album of the septet and considers their music as a “healing” to him.

#2 When He Gamely Drank Calamansi Juice

Nodding in approval, he then drank the juice in one shot, clearly loving the mix of sweetness and sourness of the drink.

Fans watched in astonishment and were obviously impressed by the actor’s willingness — their proud smiles gave it all, to be honest. Aside from giving his approval to the calamansi juice, the actor also admitted wanting to explore the Philippines and have a leisure trip in the country in the future.

Pharmacist Jung offered prescription and wise advice to the fans depending on their concern.

For the fan who felt lost and struggling with her future, the actor said, “Your studies are not always the answer. Explore. Try many things you enjoy and through that process, you will find something you are good at. Everyone goes through the same thing, so don’t worry. Fighting!” He then gave her a journal to help her organize her thoughts and as an avenue to write down her feelings.

To the fan who flew all the way from Indonesia and revealed that she broke up with her boyfriend recently, Jung Hae In offered a wonderful advice — love yourself. Although he appreciates the love of the fan, he relayed his wish for her to put herself first among anyone else. “I hope you come to a place where you love yourself more than anyone else,” he said. He “prescribed” her with a magnifying glass.

Lastly, a mother who struggles in waking her son up for school and worries about his future received a mug as a “prescription” from Jung Hae In. He also said, “I hope you will remember that, at the end of the day, what is important is your son’s happiness. Support him in whatever he wants to do, so he will be encouraged.”
