Gong Yoo is the most charming boy next door, or rather, man next door in his solo pictorial with 'Elle Korea'!

The pictorial is described to be a 'lazy boyfriend' concept, and now we're already picturing him as our own boyfriend. Anyways, we love how despite the photos being in black and white, the theme is happy and calming.�

When asked about what he does when he rests, he replied, "Honestly, my life is so simple to the point that it seems dull, but that kind of lifestyle is not bad at all." He added that he spends a lot of time at home but isn't blatantly lazy.

He also revealed that he's into cooking. He said, "I'm the type that likes cooking. Recently, I watched TV and followed and learned Baek Jong Won (from 'House Cook Master Baek')'s recipes." It seems like he has that in common with the rest of Korea as Baek Jong Won's recipes have been all the rage lately!
