WATCH HIS CONCERT VIDEO!!

Although Guardian did not meet with lasting success, having Hyun Jae as a member of this '90s group insured that their music would be remembered. Although the album is no longer in print, the songs can be found on the Internet, and Hyun Jae still sings the occasional Guardian song during his fan meetings.



A Guardian video performance was posted at Everjohyunjae, and it created quite a stir in the English forum. Many had not seen this video, so it was considered quite a find. Hyun Jae is second from the left in the group image.


Jo Hyun Jae, a South Korean actor, became known to Korean television viewers when he appeared for a few minutes as a prince in the epic drama Daemang.

Prior to this drama, Jo Hyun Jae started as the main vocalist for the defunct R&B group Guardians, modeled for some commercials, appeared in three dramas, and was given a role for the movie Untold Scandal, which gave him the incentive to audition for Daemang, which in turn became a stepping stone for him to have the lead role in the Korean drama Love Letter. He also appeared in a number of dramas like Nine Tailed Fox and Only You which was shown in other Asian countries.

His talent as an actor was challenged in his role as the lead character in the epic television drama The Ballad of Seo Dong. He was able to internalize an extensive script given on the same day of shoot; understandably make 50 bloopers yet can continue acting as if nothing happened.

This introvert hunk captured women’s hearts and sensibilities with his sincere-looking gaze and gentle speech making him a very popular male star among women. His fans named his fan site Carpe Diem after Hyun Jae which means “present” in Korean. His devoted fans also sent lunchboxes for six people faithfully on every shooting day of The Ballad of Seo Dong.
