Jang Yoon-Jung and No Hong-Chul Are Now Dating

June 8th, 2009 § 0

Jang Yoon-Jung and No Hong-Chul are now a celebrity couple.

No Hong-Chul had been asking her to date him for 2 years. Jang Yoon-Jung liked his unchanging mind/love for her.

No Hong-Chul has an image of being weird, noisy, and enthusiastic.. like people who are happy all the time, and that do not care for much, which could be seen as being very rude. He only shows people his ’stupid person’ image, but he showed Jang Yoon-Jung his serious side and she liked that. In regards to Yoon-Jung, she has a special knack for making so much money from all kinds of events, like hosting or singing.

They officially started dating a month ago. Before they announced the relationship and let people know they are dating, No Hong-Chul said his ideal woman is Jang Yoon-Jung. They were filming in the same show, which is about 6 girls who are in their thirties meeting guys and having blind dates to find love. No Hong-Chul was one of the hosts for that show.

Kim Yu-Na Ranks First For Preferred Commercial Model

May 12th, 2009 § 0

Not only a world-reknowned figure skater, Kim Yu-Na has become the first choice among models when it comes to shooting commercials.

The ice skater even beat out Jang Dong-gun and Kim Tae-hee for the top spot; Jang being the preffered choice most of the time. She first appeared in a Kukmin bank commercial in January of 2007 after winning the World Senior Grand Prix Final skating competition. At that time she ranked 52nd for preferred commercial model, and when July rolled around her ranking dropped to 115. But after she started winning competitions, she ranked 10th in June of 2008 and now she’s the top one.

It seems like depending on how well she does in figure skating determines how much commercial exposure she can receive. She was first just an athlete but now she is a star among Koreans.

May 10th, 2009 § 0

After dating secretly for about 2 years, Song Yoon-ah (age 36) and Sul Kyung-goo (age 41) are getting married.

He had a family, but divorced around 2006 and has a child, so it was harder to get their parents’ agreement for marriage.

During their secret relationship, Sul Kyung-goo moved to where Song Yoon-Ah’s agency office is, right above the office actually, and they usually had dates in the office and at his place.

The wedding is scheduled for May 28th. Some are questioning whether she’s already pregnant, but they say they’ve never done anything like that. They’re getting married in a Catholic church.

What is Han Ye-Seul’s Real Age?

May 5th, 2009 § 0

There is a controversy going around about what Han Ye-seul’s real age is.

Her profile on Naver says she was born in 1982, but some people put up her high school graduation pictures which say that she went to Cerritos High School and her graduation year was 1998. That would mean she was born in 1980, not 1982.

Her agency claims that when she began her career she stated her age as the international age, and when she started to do work in Korea the international and Korean age got mixed up. It seems like the problem arose becuase of the different ways in which Korea and the rest of the world count age.

At any rate, the agency says her real birth year was 1981.

Lee Min-Ho Tries to Buy a Benz and Gets Criticized

Lee Min-ho

There’s a rumor going around that BOYS OVER FLOWERS drama star Lee Min-ho bought a Benz.

He is very interested in that type of car so he went to look at it, but because of the poor economy and since he just became famous it seemed that right now was not a good time for him to buy it.

In the end he decided not to buy it but people are still saying that he did, so he’s having a hard time with that rumor right now. I guess being in the public spotlight sometimes does have its disadvantages.

Choi Song-hyeon

Presenter turned movie star Choi Song-hyeon turns herself from the nice and business-like woman people used to know into a sexy leather jacket-wearing smoker in her first movie called INSADONG SCANDAL. The film shows a completely different side of the former presenter. “It was very difficult to distinguish the life in the movie from reality,” she said about her role in the movie.

Choi worked at KBS for two years until she shocked everyone by quitting her job and pursuing her dream to become an actress.

The movie is about the restoration of a cherished treasure from the Chosun dynasty. Choi’s character plans a scam with the person who is in charge of restoring the item.

Vampire Movie Thirst is a Hit with Korean Moviegoers

May 3rd, 2009 § 0

Sang-hoon (Song) is a committed Catholic priest living peacefully in the house of God, similar to Adam in the Garden of Eden. His only weakness is that he is far too reckless – he never feared to sacrifice whatever it meant for salvation. Despite the disapproval of his father role-model, Father Noh (Park In-hwan), Sang-hoon volunteers for a dangerous medical experiment in Africa that the Church has yet to approve. While there, he catches a virus, called Eve, and dies, but a transfusion with mysterious blood brings him back as a vampire. The movie also stars Kim Ok-bin as his lover Tae-ju.

The film attracted more than 600,000 moviegoers in its first 3 days after release. It is expected to surpass 800,000 Sunday.
