[Magazine] Ji Chang Wook Preview for Arena Homme+ Magazine [updated 21 July 2014]

Or at least, that’s the first thought that came to our mind. If you liked what you saw in Elle, then this might just float your boat.

[Appearance] Ambassador Hotel Cooking Demonstration 4 March 2011

On 4 March 2011, Ji Chang Wook was invited by the management of the Ambassador Hotel in Seoul to put on a cooking demonstration for guests attending through a ticket lottery.  You may recognize the venue as the “Camellia Hotel” used during filming of “Smile Donghae,” and that was the main reason their management decided to engage “Donghae” to help them with the Grand Opening of their King’s Buffet Restaurant.  The event was covered by the usual news reporters, and here’s some photos of the fun!
