He is Jung Ji-Hoon, one of East Asia's finest and well-known stars. Debuting with his first single Bad Guy, he has been called the "Asian Usher or Justing Timberlake" and gained millions of fans with his singing style and choreography.

Ji-hoon discovered his talent for dance when he was in the sixth grade at a talent show competition among classes. "I told myself to 'show them something' and danced the dances I saw on the TV and street without a second thought. There was a burst of clapping hands as my stage was over. I felt the fulfilling emotion for the first time, and a thought crossed my mind suddenly. It said, 'Yes, it's dance.'" (more of the interview)

He earned even greater acknowlodgment when he won the MTV Asia Grand Slam in 2004. He also won Favorite Artist of Korea in the 2005 MTV Asia Aid, the Popular Asian Artist Award from Channel [V] Thailand, Best Buzz Asia Award during the MTV Japan Video Music Award 2005, and the Best Korean Singer award in the MTV-CCTV Mandarin Music Honors. All this recognition earned Ji-hoon Time magazine's second most influential artist of 2006. He has performed in Madison Square Garden alongside Omarion of the now-disbanded band B2K.

In 2003, Ji-hoon starred in his first drama, Sangdoo! Let's Go To School, Ji-hoon amazed everyone with his superb acting skills. It received good ratings - but his second drama in 2004, Full House, in which he co-starred along with actress Song Hye Gyo, was much more popular. The drama is based on a manhwa, and is a heartwarming tale of love and heartbreak with very real and loveable characters. His 2005 drama, A Love To Kill, in which he co-starred with actress Shin Min Ah, was a hit as well, although the ratings weren't as excellent as Full House's. Ji-Hoon's film debut in the movie "I'm a Cyborg, But It's Okay" is said to be released around December.

He is like my favorite asian guy. I admire him cuz he had so though time getting on the top. I´m not into his music cuz I don´t think he´s that good of a singer. But instead I´ve seen all his dramas, he was gorgeous. Hope he will star in more dramas. And man, he has received many many awards!
