The Netflix original Korean drama 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,' released on Jan. 24, became the most-watched drama globally in the last week of January and the first week of February. Actor Ju Jihoon, who plays the genius surgeon Baek Kanghyuk in this drama, is experiencing the peak of his career as a world-class star. He captivated many female fans by portraying the charming boyfriend Seok Ji-won in the romance drama 'Love on a One-Legged Bridge,' which aired late last year. A survey showed that he was voted first for 'Yoahjeong (The Standard of Nowadays Uncle).' A facial expression researcher could hardly overlook him.

The hairline at the forehead is uneven and bumpy. This is a person who works independently without regard for others' opinions and dislikes interference. The forehead is not entirely round, so it cannot be said that they were raised in comfort. In 'You Quiz on the Block,' he talked about living in a one-room space during childhood. The protruding cartilage in the middle of his ear hints at a difficult family background in his childhood. The middle part of his forehead sticks out notably, indicating intelligence and a strong intuition, leading him to be somewhat stubborn in his self-assurance. However, even monkeys fall from trees; it's good to keep in mind that intuition can sometimes be off. He had various jobs in his 20s due to the uneven forehead. He has a slender build and a darker complexion, which suits physical work, but fortunately, he found the profession of modeling that fits him perfectly and has been thriving as a model. At 25, he encountered the fortunate drama 'Gung.'

The eyebrows are thick, and they exert a strong push. Their pushy demeanor from the start can be overwhelming for colleagues. The sweet and soft image in the romance drama is merely acting.

The first thing that catches the eye on Ju Jihoon's face is his mismatched eyes. The different sizes of his eyes exhibit both extroverted and introverted traits. Thus, he has the advantage of understanding all types of people well. His gaze is as sharp as a bird's claw. He is keen and quickly reads whatever he sees, efficiently storing it in his mind for future reference. There is a fine line of wrinkles above his eyelids, indicating a cautious and meticulous personality. His determination to practice and persist in any endeavor is etched in the wrinkles around his eyes.

Even if the eye shape is different on either side, the size of the pupils remains the same. With large pupils, he possesses artistic sensibilities and a flamboyant personality. The dark color of his pupils suggests realism and an adept understanding of financial flow. Consequently, he is likely to accumulate wealth. Despite being cross-eyed, the clarity of his vision led to favorable fortune in his mid-30s. After breaking away from the romance genre with the 2016 film 'Asura,' he entered a pivotal stage in his acting career. Following 'Along with the Gods' in 2017, he achieved consecutive hits in 2018 with 'Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days,' 'The Drug King,' and 'Dark Figure of Crime,' drawing in 20 million moviegoers in one year. He received the best supporting actor award for 'The Drug King' and his first best actor award for 'Dark Figure of Crime' after his debut. Subsequent successes included starring roles in Netflix's 'Kingdom' and dramas 'Hannibal' and 'Jirisan,' all aligning with his promising fortune between the ages of 35 and 40.

However, his fortune will open even wider in his 40s. The slight indentation at the tip of his nose indicates that his fortune will change for the better in his early 40s. From the side view of his face, the cheekbones rise towards the outer corners of his eyes, indicating development. The cheekbones govern luck in honor and social popularity. Politicians or entertainers appealing to the public need well-developed cheekbones. While Ju Jihoon might appear somewhat grim due to rarely showing a broad smile, the development of his cheekbones suggests that he is actually a positive and cheerful person. He needs to continue smiling and nurture his cheekbones well.

When a horizontal line is drawn across Ju Jihoon's face, the impression of the lower half appears better than that of the upper half. He is currently on the hill of this transformation. In the future, a more magnificent and larger stage will unfold than now.

His nose is sharp and pointed, revealing a dislike for unnecessary things. He chooses a straight path rather than taking detours. He speaks directly without beating around the bush. With a straight-edged nose, he has a straightforward personality and prioritizes principles. Although his sharp and finicky eye traits combine with a straight nose, he performs naturally when playing good-natured roles.

The protruding cartilage in his ears denotes a lively personality, but it could actually be a boon for an actor. No matter how much they are an actor, there comes a time when they must return to being an everyday person, whether it's midnight or dawn. Given his sensitivity and the use of direct speech, if a spouse possesses a similar personality, conflicts are likely to arise. The true nature will emerge when he is with family, so he should find a spouse with a generous and accepting character.

His mouth is large and open, indicating a generous nature. The slight upward turn of the corners of his mouth shows that he is indeed a person who laughs often. Despite having a usually sensitive temperament, he has adapted well socially. His teeth are neatly aligned, and he has a good character. He has a seagull’s lips, is eloquent, and enjoys speaking. The line of his lips is not clear, which might imply a lack of finishing touches, but he tends to be flexible, allowing things to slide despite being critical at times.

The bones on both sides of his jaw are solid and indicate health, determination, endurance, and responsibility. The middle of his jaw is slightly split, and the surface shows shapes resembling peach pits. He is strict with both himself and others. Just as there are no stocks that only go up, life will also encounter downturns. If a period of decline occurs, he should refrain from being too harsh on himself as it will bring comfort to those around him and to himself. This comfort will preserve the flesh and elasticity of the cheeks and ensure a healthy longevity.

The facial structure has distinct features symbolized by the five mountains. Referring to the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw surrounding the nose. If only the three peaks are well-defined, it is said that good fortune in one's 30s will open up. In Ju Jihoon's case, both his nose and cheekbones are well-defined. The path for good fortune in his 30s opened for him in his 30s. The fortune in his later years depends on how well he manages this 30 years. One’s face is not born merely from appearance, but rather shaped by how one has lived their actual life. The face is something no one else can create but oneself, and longevity is something each person must complete.

In drama or film roles, taking on warm characters may expand the horizon of popularity. Ju Jihoon has a long face and strong bone structure, making it easier for the flesh of his cheeks to diminish, which is why he must pay particular attention to both facial management and mental wellness.

In 'You Quiz on the Block,' Ju Jihoon said, "I want to be a person who becomes kinder every day." While others may not think so, does he feel he needs to be even kinder? Anyway, imagining Ju Jihoon's 'even' more wonderful life, living each day like a celebration with kindness and warmth while laughing alongside those around him, makes me smile too.
