Do you know Wonho?

Leave a short comment if you do!

I’ve known Wonho for almost 8 years now & he’s a good friend of mine. Beside his socially engaging personality, multi-talented nature & (sort of) charming-at-first-encounter charisma; the guy is eccentrically different than "us".

The late king in his famous saying “من شتى المنابت و الأصول” (From all routes & origins) was inspiringly broad enough to include his family as a Jordanian one indeed! How frequently do you get to be acquainted with a Jordanian guy from a Korean origin who lived among us all his life & commands Arabic probably better than many of us!

A tribute to the Chung family in Jordan & a little “experiment” on the side… please make it a success

Infamous has negative meaning Basem, did you actually mean it like that? (not questioning your command of english, just wondering)

Hey Wonho - My Man! How YOU Doin?! Bros. I know WonHo, as he's living in me house. He's me missus brother, so he is me brother. Oh- and he is also the aunt for my two daughters. Oh, and he can also sing songs. F..k, can he sing songs; and we're not talking singing in the shower, OK? Not sure if he is for hire, but if you need someone to sing, call Wonho - dont forget. This is me first BLOG - feels kinda weird. Not sure whether I wanna spend the rest of my life writing letters to anonymous people, but while I'm at it, I just wannut to say HI, so "HI"

Well Alia, the novelty goes to Mr. Shahrour here, I just implemented the idea with adding a bit of a Basem twist to it, that’s all… otherwise, I’ll take what you said as a complement!

I know Wonho.... I also know so many people who also know Wonho... let us see where this experiment takes us!

Wonho.... everytime I hear the song Gallak i remember you, Mervy and me driving at 3am in the streets of Dubai!!!!

Although i have not seen him in a while, Wonho's presence resonates within the core of my being.

Not Really!!

Wonho is awesome, so many memories (including an orgasming cat! Don't ask!), ambassador kidnappings, and being spotted as "the korean guy from superstar".. but whatever you want to call him, Wonho is sweetness personified.

Thank you Mr. In-Sook for your most gracious gift to the world..

Go Chung Go!

I know it seems annoying to post a comment 3 months after the previous comment was posted, but hey, I'm proud to be annoying.

As a year-2000 Terra Sancta graduate, I was googling for the keywords "Terra Sancta"+blog+Jordan
and I ended up here :)

Wonho is a close friend of my brother Ahmad, consequently he's a friend of mine. He used to come a lot to our house when we were young and we were together in the bus.

Wonho.. a very big HI to you man.

Hey Sary,

So nice to hear from you, it's been ages, literally!!!

Hope you're doing well. I heard Ahmad is getting/got married, is that true?

Well in any case, please send him my best and hope to see you soon.

Take care,
Wonho

Hey Wonho,
Amazing how people could get connected after so many time and in unexpected places (sorry Basem for manipulating your site for talking to Wonho :) )
Well Wonho, yes Ahmad got married last February el hamd l Allah.
Will send him your congrats.
If you want to contact him (whispering to Wonho): ahmad@arabadvisors.com

Salaam,
Sary
