Three More Dramas for Telecinema,



For the two country Telecinema collection of mini-dramas, here are a couple synopses for your future reference. As we all know TVXQ / DBSK's Jaejoong will star in 'Heaven's Postman' and Big Bang's Seungri and TOP in '19,' so below are details to the rest of the dramas.

My Love, Ugly Duckling or The Relationship Between the Face, Heart, and Love (μ–Όκ΅΄κ³Ό 마음과 μ‚¬λž‘μ˜ 관계) is directed by Lee Jang Soo (Love Story at Harvard, Stairway to Heaven) and written by Ooishi Shizuka (First Love). The story surrounds Kang Tae Poong, played by Kang Ji Hwan. He's a superficial/shallow architect, only looking at women for their sexy appearance (typical guy), coincidentally, he ends up having something happen to his precious eyesight. As a side effect, his vision is altered and becomes attracted to an unattractive magazine writer, Wang So Joong, played by Lee Ji Ah. Showing of her range of acting, Lee Ji Ah will play both the dual roles of pretty and ugly.

In Triangle (νŠΈλΌμ΄μ•΅κΈ€), Lee Soo-kyung, Ahn Jae Wook, and Kang Hye Jung end up in a complicated love triangle. Directed by Ji Young-soo (Oh Pil-seung, Bong Soon-young) and written by Ozaki Masaya, in this drama Ahn Jae Wook plays the part of a CEO of an art exhibition company and he's being pursued by a detective who suspects him of robbing a bank. Lee Soo Kyung is also woven into the story as a wealthy widow with a rather expensive art collection. It's described as a thriller and company, so I don't know how exactly that's going to work out.

After the Wedding (κ²°ν˜Όμ‹ν›„μ—), directed by Kim Yoon Chul (My Name is Kim Sam Soon / My Lovely Samsoon) and written by Yokota Rie, is a story about six middle-aged college friends, who reunite at a wedding and discover a shocking revelation... one of the friends had a daughter and the father is one of the friends at the wedding! The cast includes Ye Ji Won, Bae Soo Bin, Shin Sung Woo, and Go Ah Sung.

It's Confirmed : Park Ye Jin and Lee Chun Hee Leaves Family Outing,



The miracle didn't quite happen as SBS made the much dreaded announcement that Park Ye Jin and Lee Chun Hee will indeed be leaving Family Outing. Replacing them will be Park Shi Yeon and Park Hae Jin, with discussions for their participation at the latter stages. SBS expressed, "Park Hae Jin and Park Shi Yeon are No.1 on our list, but it's not confirmed as yet." Just a matter of time, I guess. Park Hae Jin will be joining the filming of Family Outing in mid-June after concluding his Famous Princesses drama promotions in China. Park Shi Yeon will do likewise after finishing her drama filming of Story of a Man/The Slingshot in early June.

Park Ye Jin and Lee Chun Hee 1 year contract with SBS for Family Outing will be ending soon and they chose not to renew it so that they could focus 100% on their acting careers. Their popularity had soared tremendously over the past year thanks to their weekly Family Outing appearances and have led to their schedules being jam-packed with lots of work. They had no choice but to give up on Family Outing in the end and will be filming their farewell episode on 1st - 2nd June next week (showing on 21st, 28th June). SBS said, "The other family members can't bear to see them go either but they will continue to support them in whatever they do in future."

On the other hand, MBC and SBS have announced that all variety programs which have been stopped for a week might resume on 30th May after ex-president Roh Moo Hyun's state funeral on 29th May. Short of confirming the schedule, both tv stations have said that they will react accordingly to the situation but it's highly likely that everything will be back to normal. KBS declined to reveal their plans at the moment.

Kim Bum drops movie 71

Kim Bum has decided to drop his movie '71'. Earlier this year, Kim Bum along with Big Bang's Seung-ri and Yoo Seung Ho was reported to have been cast in the war movie.

'71' relates the story of seventy-one South Korean trainee soldiers who valiantly fought the war on the morning of 10 August, 1950 against the North Korean army. It was planned that Kim Bum would play their commander Park Ha Seob.

Kim Bum decided to drop the movie because of his tight shooting schedule. He will also be in the SBS drama Dream and had to make an emergency decision to drop '71' due to a clash in his shooting schedule. The current prime time saguek drama Ja Myung-go will see an early exit due to low ratings. This pushes up the shooting schedule of Dream, which will begin this June.

Kim Bum is now learning two kinds of martial arts in preparation for his role in the drama Dream. He plays a struggling mixed martial arts athlete, who meets a hot-shot sports agent (Joo Jin-moo) in the drama.

[2NE1 series interview] Sandara Park, “I have no regrets about giving up on entertainment career in the Philippines”

Sandara Park talks about not having being able to continue on her entertainer career in the Philippines as “no regrets”.

She said in a recent interview, “I was promoting as an entertainer in the Philippines, but I took the bold step and went on as YG trainee. But I have no regrets about not being able to continue my entertaiment career in the Philippines.”

“Of course, training as a YG trainee, I have no guarantee for debut. I have no guarantee for success, but because I have dreams to be a Korean entertainer, I worked hard on it.”

Dara has been a reporter, actress and singer in the Philippines. She began to gain interests from Koreans after KBS introduced her in one of the programmes. When she went to Korea for a visit, she was given a basic test from YG Entertainment and then joined as a trainee a month later.

She went over to live in Korea and trained for 3 years before debuting as 2NE1.

After first about joining 2NE1, YG was a little doubtful about it. Because it seems that she has yet to get the hip hop ‘feel’. But Dara worked hart to show satisfaction. She kept listening to hip hop music and dance to hip hop dance.

About the photoshoot that became the topic amongst netizens lately taken in the Philippines, Dara explained about it. The idea of the photoshoot was suggested by one of the seonbae. But the photoshoot concept turned out to be different from what she thought.

Plus back then the atmosphere to the photoshoot was serious, she thought she could not run away from it. And with that she did a ’sexy’ photoshoot.

KBS 2TV drama ‘Boys Over Flowers’ OST singer SomeDay had a busy month of May.

After singing the hit song ‘I Know’ off the OST, the boys can’t even rest of the weekend. Since the release of their official 1st album in March, they have been invited to sing for weddings for the whole month of May and the members are starting to fall ill from fatigue.

Their schedule is so tight that they cannot fit in another activity to it. In addition their hit song ‘I Know’ off the drama OST has become the next popular wedding song.

The group is currently promoting the song ‘I can’t be like a man’ off their 1st album.

Song Yoon Ah, Shin Ae Getting Married,

haLloooo ... minna.. im bAck for more updates.. :D
thx to all who visit my blog~ ..
kamsahamnida... *bows*

Photobucket

There will be 2 more celebrity weddings to close out the May Marriage Marathon on 28th May where Shin Ae will get married to her Seattle exchange student boyfriend while actor Seol Kyeong Gu will tie the knot with actress Song Yoon Ah. Besides being hastily arranged in the space of a few months, both wedding ceremonies will also be low-key affairs as a mark of respect to the gloom that has enveloped S. Korea because of former president, Roh Moo Hyun's suicide last Saturday.

At about 5pm, actor Seol Kyeong Gu will tie the knot with actress Song Yoon Ah in a church wedding at Bangbae-dong, Seoul. Exactly a hour later, Shin Ae will get married with her exchange student boyfriend in a closed-door wedding at the Sheraton Grande Walkerhill Hotel. Seol Kyeong Gu and Song Yoon Ah wedding ceremony will be different from other celebrity weddings earlier in the month in that it will be low-key and a simple affair. They felt that it wasn't appropriate to have a too joyous affair while the whole nation is in mourning. There will be no press conference or photo zone for the media. Interviews with guests by the media will also be rejected.

Shin Ae will also be doing the same with her wedding. According to Shin Ae's management, "Deciding to get married was the most important thing here and the couple has decided to refrain from all the extras and focus on a simple and quiet ceremony. Only family members and close friends will be invited to the wedding ceremony and it will also be a close-door affair.

How...normal. That sounded like the most un-celebritized wedding ever but still appropriate. Shin Ae's been through a lot, with the suicide of her best friend, Choi Jin Shil and the ex-president's suicide... Good for her and congratulations to the happy couple! Somewhere though, Alex weeps alone softly. Just kidding, probably not. He already said that he didn't keep in touch with her after We Got Married ended

Lee Min Ho’s Interview for Vogue Girl [Part 2]

Lee Min Ho in Vogue Girl (6/09)
Source: Daum TVzone
Translation By: KPculture
Part 1

Vogue Girl (VG): In the meanwhile, you’ve become more widely known as Boys Over Flowers‘ Gu Jun Pyo rather than by your own name, Lee Min Ho. As an actor, you’re going to have to bid farewell to this name; have you already began this process internally? Or is it too early for your heart to leave behind Gu Jun Pyo?
Lee Min Ho (LMH): I didn’t particularly think that I have to part with it; the process began quickly without me realizing it. You see, I’ve been doing other work without a break after completing Boys Over Flowers. Without time to even feel the aftereffect of Gu Jun Pyo, [the character] is becoming distant.

VG: There’s tremendous discussion on your every action. Through many articles and rumours, (your fans) have been exposed to much speculation on everything beginning from your love life. You must have definitely been scarred. By any chance have you – in a short time – (adapted) a coping method to minimize the scars or shock? Ignore it? Be understanding? Be resigned to it? Be sympathetic?
LMH: I think it’s none of [the above]. Even though I try to ignore it, I’m still hurt to an extent; then I try to be understanding, but it’s incomprehensible (laughter); if I decide to resign myself [to the rumours], they still get on my nerves; with no need for further explanation, I think it’ll be impossible to sympathize. I just get angry, but forget about it because I’m simple-minded; my anger rises when I remember it again and then calms down… That’s what it’s been like.

VG: Although it’s evening here in London, it’s 6am in Korea yet you just received a prank call. It must be annoying when getting these inconsiderate calls.
LMH: There’s a lot of truly unique people from those who prank call. As well as people who are fun[ny]. I don’t answer with hostility because they [could be] fans. First I pick up the call and get a rough idea of the situation; after I hang up, I save the number as spam so that I don’t answer next time. These days prank calls are done so intelligently that I fall for them often. During the shoot earlier, I got a call saying, “It’s me, Eun Hye!” Since I actually have a friend named Eun Hye within my network I thought it was her, but it was a prank call. It’s like that.

VG: Do you directly look up reviews or article comments about (Boys Before Flowers or yourself)?
LMH: I don’t look too much. Because of the recent Benz rumour I read a little and there really were so many negative comments. It was the first time I saw that many. I got a lot of scars too. If it was really something I did (buy the car), I would have agreed and reflected over my mistake. But I was hurt that there were such negative comments attached to an article written based on presumption.

VG: You seem to handle the explosive interest quite well, not feeling too burdened.
LMH: It’s not as burdensome as one would think. But there are times when I’m surprised. Really trivial matters are publicized and become news articles. That’s burdensome.

VG: Some people say the way for Lee Min Ho to survive is to shed the Gu Jun Pyo image as soon as possible, while others say that your next project should be a lovelier one that shows off Gu Jun Pyo’s charm. Which way are you more inclined to?
LMH: Both are the same. If I suddenly shed Gu Jun Pyo and take on a completely different role, I think it would feel strange and unfamiliar to viewers. Because [Gu Jun Pyo] was such a strong image. But then if I did a similar role, I suppose people would say that there’s no change. There’s nothing I can do either way. I think I’ll have to shed it progressively.

VG: Looking back at the Gu Jun Pyo that Lee Min Ho portrayed calmly in the midst of filming with barely enough time to breathe, how do you feel?
LMH: There’s so many parts that were lacking. Every moment. Because it was a drama that was filmed with time chasing us, I think there was insufficient time to adequately investigate and grasp the character. I think the great response [from viewers] was because of the good character Gu Jun Pyo, and they were easy on me since I’m a rookie actor.

VG: As Lee Min Ho, an actor in your twenties, are you satisfied with your face, voice, and other parts of your body? And if there’s a part you’re dissatisfied with…..?
LMH: Yes. I’m satisfied. But I’d like it if my voice was a bit deeper. There are times when a slightly nasal sound comes out, so that’s a bit dissatisfying.

VG: As an actor, is there another actor’s appearance that you covet?
LMH: I like the appearance of someone who can clearly show both a face of virtue and a face of evil. Which actor can do that? Ah~ I can’t remember. (Thinks for awhile) Forget it. This. Even if I covet it, I can ‘only’ covet it. Then…. just…. there is none (laughs)!

VG: Besides for getting extremely famous from the success of the drama, what’s the happiest aspect of your life these days?
LMH: Experiencing many things that I’ve wondered if I’d ever be able to do in life. Also that my parents are happy. I’m content when I see my mother’s smiling face. She was happy for me when I first said I’m pursuing acting, and she’s happy just to see me on TV.

VG: If you have one, what’s your clearest and nearest goal at the moment?
LMH: To show a good image with a good project. In May, I’ll complete the schedule that was a result of Boys Over Flowers. In June, I’ll get some personal time that I haven’t been able to have. The plan is to discuss my next production after that.

VG: How would you like your twenties to be remembered?
LMH: I’d like it to be the busiest time of my life. I want to do lots of productions and lots of work. I want to be remembered as Lee Min Ho who lived diligently and worked hard.

Lee Hyori and Son Dambi battle it out

Leehyori_0521_1

But guess who wins this one?

On the night of May 22dn, Lee Hyori and Son Dambi went high-heel to high-heel at the 60th Anniversary of Kyunghee University concert. Although After School and Rain also performed, all eyes were on the two pop rivals.

But according to onlookers, Son Dambi was no match for the seasoned diva. The younger up-and-comer wore little makeup and had only 2 back dancers as she lip-synced her way through her hit tracks, “Saturday night” and “Crazy.”

In contrast, Lee Hyori went all out – full makeup, crew of back dancers + rapper, full makeup and her trademark black plastic pants. The girl was on a roll….

Battle of the divas:

Lee Hyori does bikinis for Instyle

Instyle_0521_4

What is summer without Lee Hyori showing off her bikini body?

First, there was the sizzling but toasted skin flash in Cosmopolitan Magazine (Korea) and then frolicking on the beach with some dudes in Ceci Magazine the following year…and now the pop diva gets to lounge in swimwear on a luxurious tropical resort. Life is not fair! Here I am munching on soft melt-in-your-mouth Krispy K. donut, sitting in front of the PC and feeling the extra donuts stick to my already growing caboose…..and Lee Hyori looks taunt and tanned to perfection.

Lee Hyori is featured in the June 2009 issue of Instyle Magazine (Korea).
