So near, yet still so far away. Namoo Actors just issued a press release that basically confirms the fan speculation in recent days that the ever lovely Moon Geun Young has left Korea for a short study abroad experience. She’ll be in New York City until mid-November as she takes English classes and does what any twenty-something living in Manhattan does, namely enjoy walking around the city in the Fall and soaking up the only-in-NYC ambiance.
Fall is my favorite season in the city (moreso than Spring), so I’m sure she’ll have a great time in a wonderfully rich and diverse new environment. This does pretty much mean her name is out of the running for Jang Geun Seok‘s Love Rides the Rain (not that she was ever in serious talks since she was his last drama co-star and Korea doesn’t immediately pair people back together so quickly), which Han Hyo Joo has supposedly turned down, and the grapevine chatter has the role going to an actress from SM Entertainment.
If you’re living in New York and want a Moon Geun Young sighting, she’s taking classes at a language school in East Village (I know the name but don’t want to post it because I hate having people loiter around her school). She’s also been spotted in Central Park, looking like any Asian college student living in the city.
I love how even a celebrity can be anonymous there. When I was going to school in the city, Utada Hikaru enrolled as a freshman and I pretty much saw her around campus being all normal. Part of me wanted an autograph, but the sane me just let her be the normal college kid she obviously was looking to be. I still visit the city a few times a year, so this only means imma planning a quickie Fall trip to see my Geun Young in person. Hope I won’t be tempted to put her in my pocket because she’s so cute.

mgy is one of a kind artist to prioritize her study... she has a dream!!!! good luck, may all your aspiration on your study come true, for sure everybody will miss her, all we can do is to pray for her success and happiness!!!!
Good Luck and Have fun studying MGY. 2 months? surely you will be missed. Lovin your drive to learn more and for prioritizing always education. Hope one day you will inform us that this study is in preparation of your next project...
Magpapaparty ako! ^_^
Wow, Hikki in person? That's awesome ^^
MGY is awesome, all the best to her =D Personally, New York isn't all that special to me. I don't know...I mean, it has its unique flair, as does every city, and parts of it are really impressive and pretty, but it doesn't make me want to be there a lot or something ^^'
I wonder if Jung So-min would go well with Jang Geun-seok. Somehow I don't see it, but I do wish she'd act in a drama again ^^
I want to run into her in NYC...that would be so cool! She seems so sweet and cool! :)
On the Geun-Geun couple front...have any of you guys seen the Knee-Drop Guru episode with JGS?! He supposedly admitted to liking/showing interest in one of three females that he's had a scandal with...although he didn't tell the girl :( The 3 ladies are: BoA, Park Shin-hye, &....Moon Geun-young! I'm inclined to think that it was MGY! Ha!
They need to get together...it'd be so sweet! :)
You bet it is MGY! imo he he...
I was like OMG -- SO CLOSE! It was pretty funny that one MC didn't know who lady M was and so they had to spell it out for him :P
Love MGY, one of my favorite K-actresses, I wish I could do that but in korea, learn the language and stalk all my favourite stars lol
and yay, I didnt know HHJ turned down LRTR with JGS, the plot sounds a bit depressing and boring
I miss Geun Young already :( but yeah it is for the betterment of herself and achieving a dream. I wish she will have a normal study life in NY and enjoy the most out it. I look forward when she comes back she will act again.
Captain, say our hellos to our cutie Moon when you visit her. :)
The nice thing about living and working in nyc is anonymity. When you see a celebrity and he/she knows you recognize them, they say "Hi" and you say "Hi" and keep walking. I've seen actors riding the subway...so I hope MGY has a nice experience during her stay here.
Good luck Captain if your going to see MGY! Lucky you if you can see her in person. ^__^
i bet she'll be taking in a lot of inspiration and head back to Korea as an even better actress (as if she isn't already that good). her career choices really make me root for her more!^_^
You saw Hikki and never bum rushed her? She's from New York so she's used to being normal there
