Daniel Henney: "I Like a Woman Who Is Proud of Being Herself""

| Source | 2005/06/30 | 4590 views | Permalink | 0 comments Share Buzz

"Clean-cut features, killer body, innocent smile, a perfect combination of West and East, His name is Daniel Henney. I said he is the one".

It is part of "the song in praise of Daniel" which is gaining popularity on the internet. Daniel Henney (27) is the one in the song which is adapted from a song in praise of Gi Pa Rang called "Chan Gi Pa Rang Ga" (Gi Pa Rang is a member of youth elite group of Shilla dynasty). In the MBC drama "My Name is Samsoon Kim", he plays Henry Kim, a radiology doctor who shows dedicated love for Hee-jin (starring Jeong Ryeo-won), who came to the U.S for cancer treatments.

An increasing number of female fans are using "DanielLove" and "MyLoveHenny" as their nicknames in the cyberspace. The "Daniel Effect", a new phrase, has been coined as well.

Female fans say there are three effects constituting the "Daniel Effect": his exotic and sexy appearance which you can find only in models for prestigious foreign fashion magazines (Shock effect), his innocent smile which neutralizes negative feelings people might have for his too-perfect appearance (Neutralization effect) and his devotion to one woman even though he is such a perfect guy (Synergy effect).

Dong-A Ilbo sat down with him, a new face to many readers, at Cheongdam-dong, Seoul on June 28.

From an Ordinary College Student to a Promising Fashion Model-

Daniel Henny can't speak Korean. The first question for him was the one his countless fans want us to ask him.

-"Do you have a girlfriend?"

-"I'm very satisfied as things are now. I'm too busy. So I don't think that I would make a good boyfriend. I like things as they are now".

He also said, "I like a woman who is proud of being herself. I like someone who can make her presence felt by others".

His mother is a Korean adoptee as in the drama. His mother, Christy Henney (48), was adopted to the U.S. from an orphanage in Busan before her first birthday. His father is a British American engineer, Philip Henney (58).

"My mother always keeps a traditional Korean bridal doll wearing rainbow-striped clothes. I don't know where she got that. She told me to visit Busan when I go to Korea".

It was his friend who brought this dramatic change to his life as an ordinary college student.

"I was in the car at a parking lot, waiting for my friend to come out of his model audition. Then an agent approached and asked me 'Why don't you make some money and buy a new car?' Everything began right there".

He worked as a model not only in the U.S. but also in Taiwan and Hong Kong in 2002. And in 2003 he became successful, participating in the Paris and Milan Fashion Collections show.

From Fashion Model to Henry Kim-

After making appearances in several commercials such as Digital Camera Olympus (with Jeon Ji-hyeon) and Air Conditioner Klasse (with Kim Tae-hee), his name became known to Kim Yoon-cheol, the producer of "My Name is Kim Sam-soon". Kim made a call to him. At that moment, Daniel was at the airport going back to the U.S.

"After being offered the job, I went to the U.S and sent my video tape showing my performance. I took acting classes at the Deena Levy Studio, an acting school in New York, whenever I could despite my busy schedule as a model. I even performed in off-Broad way plays several times".

The dramatic casting story created a dramatic character. Can he love just like Henry Kim, not selfishly, but sacrificing love in real life?

(Firmly) "I can, Love is trust. And based on the trust, you can have love".

He answered in earnest. I asked what the future holds for the actor Daniel Henny.

"I want to play a psychotic Bad Guy. I want to become an actor who earns recognition not for his appearance but for his performance just like Brad Pitt. First, I will focus on learning Korean so that I can make Korea an indispensable part of my life.

Happy Birthday Daniel Henney.  You are Amazing inside and out. Hope I can live long enough to find someone as special as you for me.  But in the meantime I still have my dreams and to be able to watch your movies and pictures. *Blush* God has blessed you and I hope and pray that you will have many more years of bringing us continuous entertainment for years to come. I know I will never tire of them.

I can't believe that I turn into one of those people that really have feeling for people on TV. LOL Yes I love to watch movie and drama like the next person but I've never care to much about the actor or actress. A movie is good because of the story line and plot but my whole look in ( just wanna watch a movie to I NEED to watch that movie) change. Ever since I saw "Seducing Mr. Perfect"... I've even got all of my friends and family to watch it (mind you ,I'm the only Cambodian girl in Philly that watch Korean drama). But now every famale n some gay guys that I know dream about our Mr. Perfect. My friends even made fun of me because they always callded me the cold hearted one, I laught because I waited so long for him to play in a movie that I can understand everything that he was saying, than X-man came out! I was so mad at that movie, why my agent Zero!!! LOL.      It's a fact......that if he can get a person like me to crash on him than he can get any (Cold Hearted) girl to wait for months to watch what he will play next!     GOOD LUCK.......I know that he don't need it.

I am so happy to hear a news all about Daniel Henney. I never even know him at all, but i had read a book that states that the hero in the romance book looks like Daniel Henney. Then, thats the start where i began looking for articles and images about him. I can't believe that a guy, which i also dreamt to love is here already. But sad to say, we were far away. huhu. And he even doesnt know me, Poor me.. But, im proud of him that he go famous because of his own hardwork. Thats good. I admired him. I wish i could meet someone younger than him but has the same attitude, and power as him. Sad also to say that he's too old for me, while im only 16. amphuphu.. better luck next time for me!! Good Luck in your life Danuel.. i search every details about you. and boila!! i saw what i am looking for.. hoping for your attention.. hehehe.. lara!! from the Philippines!!
