Kim Bum’s Childhood Story Part 2: Young Casanova?

Posted by Nez 0 comments
(Description from Kim Bum’s mother with IS PLUS)

Kim Bum is especially popular among girls around his age when young. One reason could be attributed to his handsome look, the other was maybe because of his maturity, that didn’t really fit his age. He often played the leadership role among the kids.

During his kindergarten, everytime the lunch break is over, the girls would often look for Kim Bum with their storybooks. They even had to compete among themselves in hopes of getting Kim Bum to select their book. This situation became even more visible when parents visited the school. As Kim Bum was the most popular among girls, I naturally became the most popular among the group of mothers.

Kim Bum is extremely hygiene conscious. Firstly, he doesn’t like to have any dirt or stains on this body. One day, his grandma told him that “building sandcastles will aid in his brain development”, and believing it, he went to the park to play with sand right after. As he was worried that the sand might glue onto his clothes, he just squat there, and used his two fingers to stir the sand. There was another time when I brought him to perm his hair but he wasn’t too satisfied with the end product, which was a curly/crooked hairstyle (likely the top picture). Therefore, he would often wear a hat onto the streets. I feel that his hygiene conscious could be one of the reasons for his affinity with girls.

Kim Bum often mentioned about his future dream, which was to film in a movie. Kim Bum loved movies, so much so that whatever he spoke were lines adapted from the movies he watched. Beginning around 3 to 4 years old, whenever he watched a movie, he could see it for the entire day, with no concept of the time passed. During his kindergarten stage, he could already make comprehensive critiques on the movies he had seen, which really amazed all of us.

During that time, children around his age would mostly prefer singing to movies, and many even aimed to be a singer when they grow up. However, Kim Bum didn’t like to sing. Sometimes, the kindergarten’s Cultural and Arts Council would let him perform on the stage, but he just stood there quietly. In actual fact, as a mother, I was a little disappointed. However, I’m pleased now that he has become an excellent actor, and most importantly realized his childhood dream. I feel that young Kim Bum actually behaved more like an adult than his mom.

Posted by Nez 0 comments

Boyband FT Island – along with their new member Song Seung-hyun – is representing Litmus. The casual clothing brand chose the boys because of their fresh and vibrant image.

It looks like the investment in the boys is paying off as popularity for Litmus wear has been steadily growing, thanks to FT Island’s fan base.

The change in one of its members has not hampered the band from moving forward.

The FT Island boys released their first mini-album entitled Jump Up on Feb 17. The title song of the album is Bad Woman

W-inds member Keita's Reply to “Which Celeb Have You Been Interacting With Lately"

Posted by Nez 0 comments

"At the end of last year, when TVXQ attended a variety show, JaeJoong said "Please come to Korea. I welcome you." We even exchanged numbers. Although the show ended, I hope we can still meet during music programs. I feel really happy."

There is a great bond between these two groups. They both attended last year's CDTV event. When TVXQ's name was annouced, W-inds immediately stood up and shouted "Congratulations!" Jaejoong then thanked them. They're very friendly with each other backstage too.

Kara Han Seung Yeon will take one year break from her studies, “focusing her music career in 2009”

Posted by Nez 0 comments

Kara’s Han Seung Yeon has decided to focus on her entertainment career in 2009.

Han Seung Yeon decided to take a one year break from her studies at Kyunghee University, the school that she is enrolled in right now. Starting from last year, Han Seung Yeon was enrolled into Kyunghee University and she was majoring in acting and movie production.

The DSP Entertainment said, “Han Seung Yeon has decided to take a one year break from her studies. This year, Han Seung Yeon wants to focus on her music career. She chose this path because she didn’t want to do two things at once and not give a hundred percent when doing them.”

In recent interview with Newsen, Han Seung Yeon said, “I have planned a lot of things in 2009 for my music career. Because of this, I think I would not be able to handle both things at once. I am really considering about taking a break from my studies.”

On the other hand, Kara has been rising to popularity with ‘Pretty Girl’ and ‘Honey. ‘Honey’, right now, is competing against SNSD’s ‘Gee’ on many different music portal sites.

Kara Sweet Melody in First Love

Posted by Nez 0 comments

Kara becomes the 2nd active girl group in recent memory to have their pictures taken for starhwabo.com (star pictorial/photo). On the afternoon of 26th February, all 5 members of Kara gathered at a coffee joint located in Nonhyeon-dong, Kangnam-gu, Seoul for a press conference about their pictorial and with their photoshoot filming opened to the media.

The 5 girls on average changed into over 100 outfits during the filming of the photoshoot which bought out their unique cute charisma. The concept of the photoshoot was titled Sweet Melody in First Love and simply put, is about young girls (played by each Kara member) who have fallen in love for the first time. If you are scratching your head over why is SS501 Kim Kyu Jong there, well he appears in support for his juniors as the role of their senior (sunbae). Fans in Korea will be able to download them through their mobile phones.

The cliched question, which is your favourite picture? Kyu Jong is also a candidate.

Lee Min Ho Takes a Fall, LOL!

Posted by Nez 0 comments







Lee Min Ho, while walking on the red carpet at the 45th Annual Baeksang Arts Awards, tripped over a step and went down with a harsh fall. While many netizens are feeling sorry for him to have suffered such a humiliating fall in public, I thought it was pretty damn funny. In the first picture below, I couldn't help but compare Lee Min Ho to a flying squirrel.

Despite this "humiliation", Lee Min Ho took home the Best New Actor Award, going against candidates Kim Bum, Uhm Ki Joon, Lee Sang Woo, and Jung Gwu Woon. He thanked everyone for the award and also addressed the incident.

Thank you very, very much.Truthfully speaking, this is my first award and I am embarrassed that I fell. Today while I was walking on the red carpet, I don't know if it was because I was very anxious, but I took a very big fall. Although I am embarrassed, the feeling of receiving an award feels good.

Congratulations on your award! Hopefully, the next time goes a bit more smoothly!

And because it was funny, once again in sequence (thanks to unregistered user, secret).

Kim Bum to Leave for New York

Posted by Nez 0 comments




So looks like Hyun Joong isn't the only one planning to come to America.

After following a demanding schedule, fellow Boys Over Flowers's star Kim Bum is planning to take a short break in New York. Kim Bum's management announced that upon finishing filming of Boys Over Flower, they are planning to go to New York for about 10 days for a photo shoot as well as to rest and relax. The main reason for the trip is Kim Bum's exhaustion from a packed schedule. Kim Bum has shot movies I Like it Hot, GoSa (Death Bell), and dramas East of Eden, & Boys Over Flowers back to back without resting.

On top of that, while filming for Boys Over Flowers he got into two car accidents from which he hasn't had time to recuperate from. Despite this, he is expected to go into shooting for his new movie Emergency soon after the drama ends in late March.

Poor baby...seriously there should be laws against this.

So on top of all of this craziness, he still found time to shoot the spring catalogue for Spris which has been receiving attention for having a fresh, light spring casual look.

Actress Kim So Eun recently uploaded photos from her latest photoshoot for Ceci magazine onto her Cyworld minihompy to share with her fans. The concept of the photoshoot was based on using flowers that bloom in spring as a tiara, to show that spring is coming. From the photos, we can see the cute charisma that Kim So Eun has as she becomes a spring girl. Netizens generally gave good comments about the photos with one saying, "Compared to the beauty of Kim So Eun, the flower tiara on her head just loses its lustre."

Goo Hye Sun’s Name Is Pig

Posted by Nez 0 comments



On the recent Happy Together episode with Goo Hye Sun, Kim Joon, Kim Hyun Joong, and Kim Kyu Jong, the nicknames of Goo Hye Sun and Kim Hyun Joong were revealed. Goo Hye Sun said that "during school, my nickname was pig because I ate so much. When I hung out with my friends, I ended up eating for 18 hours one time." Kim Hyun Joong's nickname, "Is it a dog or a horse", was one that his members had given him because "he has large eyes like a cow and he looks like a maltese".

Kyujong and Hyunjoong also shared stories about events that happened while living with each other. Kyu Jong exposed the fact that the two weren't very good at japanese and "because Hyun Joong explained that the eczema medicine was toothpaste, I ended up using that for a week." Hyun Joong replied that "I thought that the toothpaste was face wash and kept using it when washing my face for a while." Oh man, these boys are hilarious! I guess more than my kind of fun goes on in those boy dorms, although I'm sure a fair share of that occurs too smile

The second part of this show airs next week on 5th March. Guess who's going to be watching it wink

TVXQ to be on Music Station… Finally?

Posted by Nez 0 comments



We did a story back in July of 2008, asking why it seemed TVXQ was banned on Japan's Music Station? Then it seems relations were improving when we wrote about SM Entertainment and Johnny's Entertainment being more friendly to each other. Still no invitation to Music Station but an invitation to SMAPxSMAP. Well, after all this time it seems TVXQ was finally invited to perform on Music Station!

On TVXQ's official Japanese website it states that TVXQ will be performing on March 6th's Music Station just four days after SMAPxSMAP:



Awesome! They also showed the covers for "The Secret Code"



Congratulations to Tohoshinki! It's a great honor to perform on Music Station, all the hard work finally paid off. Can't wait for the performance! Thanks to Jaejin for the tip.

MC Mong Wows Japan,

Posted by Nez 0 comments
Rapper MC Mong seems to have won a new legion of fans in Japan. Korea's pop rapper has held "V.O.S.-MC Mong Big 2 Concert" in Tokyo last Saturday and earned sizzling response from both fans and music critics. Some Japanese fans were already well-aware of MC Mong from such programs as MBC sitcom "Nonstop" and KBS variety show "Two Days and One Night".

MC Mong's representative said that all the audience stood up and joined in the singing during the hour-long concert. His popularity was so huge that concert organizers ran out of all the concert merchandises and MC Mong's CDs. Japanese media is reportedly very interested in MC Mong, because there isn't a group in Japan that performs his type of music. He began to gain in popularity in Japan in 2005 when he took part in the K-pop Concert. At the time he was courted by several local entertainment agencies, but he turned them down because he wanted to work further on his career in Korea. MC Mong is currently working on his fifth album due out later in the year.

Big Bang ‘Remember’ album to be labelled ‘No Sales Allowed For Those Under 19′

Posted by Nez 0 comments
Under the Commission of Youth Protection, Big Bang’s 2nd album ‘Remember’ has been labelled harmful for teenagers with the reason that the song ‘Strong Baby’ in the album contains inappropriate/suggestive lyrics.

From 6th March, Big Bang’s 2nd album ‘Remember’ will have the sticker ‘No Sales Allowed For Those Under 19′ labelled on the CD.

A YG Entertainment representative said, “We did not arrange for a new recording for a clean version of the supposed problematic song ‘Strong Baby’. We will just have to sell the CD with the sticker label on.”

As to whether this order will affect SeungRi’s solo activity, “This coming 1st March will be his last performance, hence we see that there shouldn’t be any hindrance to his solo activities.”

Goo Hye Sun In An Accident

Posted by Nez 0 comments

It was reported today that Goo Hye Sun was involved in a traffic accident this morning and became the latest Boys Before Flowers star to be afflicted with bad luck on the road. While returning to Seoul from the Changwon film site, the vehicle that Hye Sun was in bumped into another vehicle from the opposite direction as both attempted to change lanes.

After the accident, Hye Sun transferred to another vehicle and continued her journey back to Seoul and is now getting a thorough check-up at a local medical facility.

According to YG Entertainment, "Thankfully, Hye Sun did not suffer any major injuries. She is just in shock. But according to those in the same vehicle, there was a fine line between a minor and major accident. Judging from the present situation, it's unlikely that she will be able to film today. As for tomorrow's filming session, we will have to wait for the final diagnosis."

This is not the first time that Hye Sun had suffered an injury while filming Boys Before Flowers. Earlier, she had hit her head against the floor of the swimming pool while filming and suffered a minor concussion. But having yet to recover fully from this, she is now in shock from this accident. Fans are really worried about her health condition right now.

The Study of Mirotic

Posted by Nez 0 comments
DBSK members are becoming topics for educational purposes as well, now. A certain High School in China used a Mirotic article as their comprehension passage. Here's the passage:

FINALLY, the wait is over. Much to the excitement of fans, South Korean boy band Dong Bang Shin Ki released their new album, Mirotic, on September 29. Once again, the five boys have displayed their appeal (吸引力) with powerful beats (节拍) and memorable tunes (曲调).

The title of the leading song, Mirotic, comes from the Korean word "miro" which means "maze" (迷宫) and the English suffix (后缀)"tic".

"It is meant to describe the kind of feeling one has when he falls in love with someone at first sight " said member U-Know (郑允浩). "It's like being trapped in a maze."

It is reported that the album has sold 90,000 copies two days after its release. It has risen to No 1 on the weekly chart in South Korea. While you enjoy the catchy song, don't miss the band's trademark dancing moves. This time Dong Bang Shin Ki worked with famous dance choreographer (舞蹈编排) Kenny Wormald, who once cooperated with American pop stars including Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.

The band began working on the new record in early 2007 and didn't finish until June this year.
"We have plunged (投入) ourselves into the producing work. We see the album as an opportunity to show our fans that we have made progress on a daily basis, " said member Xiah (金俊秀). "We won't let them down."

It is this aspiring (有抱负的) attitude that keeps the band going in the highly competitive entertainment world. The band never sets boundaries (边界) to their music styles. Since their 2003 debut (首次登台), they have tried pop, R&B and ballads (民歌). After winning the hearts of thousands of teenagers across Asia, they haven't slow down. This year, Dong Bang Shin Ki has starred in two TV. (T/N: I think they mean TV commercials.)

FT Island Song Seung Hyun, “Being Oh WonBin’s replacement, I have more than 2000 anti-fans”

Posted by Nez 2 comments

Group FT Island new member Song Seung Hyun talks about his joining the group.

Song has been training under the same company as FT Island for 3 years. And he talks about some of the paings of joining the group, “I was really excited about it. Since my trainee days, I had little fans. But after joining FT Island as Oh WonBin’s replacement, my anti-fans got up to 2000 members. Right now, the numbers are increasing, and we are expecting the anti-fans to exceed 3000.”

“The other hyungs had debuted before me, and if I make any mistakes on stage I feel that I am doing bad to my hyungs. So for my first performance, I thought it will be the end of me if I make any mistakes. I have confidence in rapping. I’ve also learnt piano for 7 years. Now that everyone knows that I am part of FT Island, I hope that everyone will remember my name when they hear FT Island’s name.”

Prettyboy Kim HyunJoong Wants to go USA for Study but Agonized by SS501 Activities

Posted by Nez 0 comments

Acting as Yoon JiHoo in KBS ‘Boys Over Flowers, Kim HyunJoong revealed in one interview on 25-Feb about his plans to study in USA.

Kim HyunJoong revealed that he will end the filming for ‘Boys Over Flowers’ in March and will leave for USA to stay about 6 months to learn dancing.

He said “I am now devoted to filming of the drama, but I want to show a better image as a singer (SS501). My company has been supportive about this.”

However, after the filming ends for ‘Boys Over Flowers’, he still has a lot of schedules which was pushed back, so it seems like it would be difficult to actualize his overseas studies.

His company revealed “It is difficult to confirm his overseas study in USA based on his schedules.” The company representative said that there will be promotional activities in Japan for ‘Boys Over Flowers’ in April and then release of SS501 official album in July which they will have their activities for that and also have their Asia tour.

Goo Hye Sun reveals she suffered from stage fright for 10 years.

Posted by Nez 0 comments
On the 24th, Goo Hye Sun attended a recording of the KBS talk show “Peppermint”. On the show, Goo Hye Sun, along with another member of YG entertainment: Seung ri, got on stage together and sang a song composed by herself and Kim Gun Mo’s “잠 못이루는 밤 비는 내리고”.

All the while, Goo Hye Sun was fighting her battle with stage fright.. Before the performance, she even took medicine to calm her nerves. Everything was to finally overcome her stage fright that has controlled her for 10 years.

Goo Hye Sun suffered from stage fright up till last year. She could barely lift her head when she was around many people she did not know. There were even times when people misunderstood her intentions because of her quiet behavior.

But since the beginning of “Boys Over flowers”, she has tried hard to correct her personality, so that she could better portray her character in the drama. The lively personality of her character has helped a lot.

Goo Hye Sun was said to have been very nervous before the recording. She feared that she would make mistakes due to her nervousness. Stage fright was the reason why she didn’t appear on as many variety shows/live shows as other actors. This was also the reason why she couldn’t show 100% of her singing abilities on music shows.

Despite everything, Goo Hye Sun ended her performance successfully. She couldn’t hide her happiness at finally overcoming her fear of performing.

Goo Hye Sun revealed, “I even took medicine to calm my nerves.” She laughed as she mentioned, “Still, I gave a satisfying performance. I’m glad.” She happily added, “This is the first time I sang without shaking on stage. I’ve finally beaten my stage fright after 10 years. My heart feels so overwhelmed.”

Hyun Joong News in a flash

Posted by Nez 0 comments

1) Hyun Joong stated in Happy Together that venturing into acting from being a singer was somewhat of a burden as there was a prejudice towards singer-actors. He said that he would often check out the comments that viewers wrote on the board and that he would take the constructive criticism of his work and strive to improve his shortcomings.

This episode of Happy Together will be broadcasted on the 26th.

2) DSP has stated that Hyun Joong is set to go to the US to study dancing and singing for a period of about six months. The dates for him to leave for the States has not been set yet, but it should be after the completion of current activities.


3) Hyun Joong said that if he really was Ji Hoo, he would snatch Jandi away from Jun Pyo and that he would try his best to win Jandi's heart. He wouldn't think of the circumstances and would put up a fight against Jun Pyo for Jandi.

4) He also stated that if he had to choose again about acting in KPN, he would still choose to be Ji Hoo as the character he portrays shows a well mannered, romantic person. He said that his friends who watched him in the drama called him up and jokingly said that they were not going to tolerate the side he showed in the drama. He also said that Ji Hoo is very different from the real him.

Lee Min-ho fever revives Secret Campus

Posted by Nez 0 comments

The Lee Min-ho phenomenon continues on.

EBS, which stands for Educational Broadcasting System, is a public station airing mostly documentary or educational programming, as well as “youth dramas” like this one. A rep explained that following the massive successes of both Speed Scandal and Boys Before Flowers, the website for Secret Campus has been attracting many visitors and requests for rebroadcasts.

First it was a slew of old pictures, old girlfriends, family anecdotes, etc. Now one of his old projects is drawing particular notice: Secret Campus [비밀의 교정], which he acted in back when he was 19. Because of all the heightened attention being given to Lee’s prior work, EBS, the station that originally aired the 2006 youth drama, has announced that they will be rebroadcasting the series.

Part of the intense curiosity about Lee Min-ho’s background and personal life is because he was so unknown before Boys Before Flowers, even despite several film and drama roles.

Not only is Secret Campus Lee Min-ho’s debut role, it was also the debut for a fellow rising star — who happens to be this year’s It Girl — Park Bo-young. Park (19) has been on the rise with her film and TV work, but really hit it big with one of the biggest movies in recent history, the comedy Speed Scandal (과속 스캔들, aka Scandalmakers) also starring Cha Tae-hyun.

The encore run will be shown on EBS on Saturday evenings beginning February 28, with one episode per week. The drama has 24 episodes in all.

Secret Campus is a school-centered drama depicting the lives and conflicts surrounding six very different main characters, who are all high school students.

Lee isn’t the main star of the cast; Park is, and there are a few other roles more prominent than his. In the story, he plays a soccer team member (perhaps art imitating real life?), although his soccer dreams meet with some trials and tribulations. While he is a good fighter and “he seems like he doesn’t have much interest in those around him, he’s the kind of person who takes care of his friends silently.”

Park’s character (Ah-rang) isn’t the brightest student, but her cute, talkative personality makes her well-liked. One day, she’s walking home from after-school lessons and runs into a gang of roughnecks; Lee’s character (Doo-hyun) comes along and saves her, after which Ah-rang starts to like Doo-hyun. Lee Min-ho and Park Bo-young also worked together in last year’s comedy film Our School E.T., and are still friends.

Lee Min Ho Does Dunkin’ Donuts

Posted by Nez 0 comments





The man who is simply everywhere. Lee Min Ho who is now a popular choice among advertisers thanks to the popularity garnered from KBS2TV Boys Before Flowers was at a studio in Apgujeong on 24th February for a Dunkin' Donuts photoshoot.

Among the 40 different varieties of donuts, Berries Donut was the final pick in the end to have the privilege to work with Lee Min Ho for the photoshoot. Lee Min Ho was noticeably pleased with the decision as he is a big donut lover who must have his dose of Dunkin' Donuts daily and is thus pretty familar with the taste of Berries Donut. Min Ho expressed, "I love donuts that has a strawberry or blueberry filling so Berries Donut suits me very well."

During the photoshoot, the staff present were full of praise for Lee Min Ho who was able to bring out the simple and fresh appeal of Berries Donut with his different colored outfits. To commemorate Lee Min Ho's participation, Dunkin' Donuts will release a special flower-shaped Berries Donut (see last picture) and call it the Flower Tart, hoping to ride on the success of Boys Before Flowers.

Hyun Joong Says He’s Actually NOT a Robot

Posted by Nez 0 comments


Which is old news to anyone who watched We Got Married, but for those of you who were introduced to Kim Hyun Joong through the drama "Boys over Flowers," this might be new news. Through a teaser, we can see that during the filming of a Happy Together Season 3 episode, Hyun Joong appears and speaks his true feelings about acting. He announces that "even if they were to remake the cast for the drama, I would have selected Yoon Ji Hoo."

He also reveals that unlike the serious and polite Yoon Ji Hoo, his real personality is not like that at all. I'm glad he isn't though, because I loved him as the silly and blunt romantic in the JoongBo couple.

On the other hand, sensitive boy Kim Joon says that "I don't really have the freedom to choose whatever I want. Right now, I really like my character Song Woo Bin, but I would like to try Goo Joon Pyo's role once." I love Kim Joon's character as the engrish-speaking extra, but I totally understand why he'd want to try the role of Jun Pyo. He might actually get some screen time for once.

Kim Tae Hee Voted #1 By Netizens Again

Posted by Nez 0 comments



Although this time it’s a family affair. Actress Kim Tae Hee and her brother actor Lee Wan took the top spot in a poll conducted by dcinside.com asking netizens their opinion on which celebrity family members had “blessed genes.”

Out of 2,591 votes tallied, Kim Tae Hee and Lee Wan acquired the #1 position with 954 votes. SS501’s Kim Hyung Joon and his brother Kim Ki Bum (U-Kiss member) took the #2 spot with 865 votes. Actress/singer/plastic queen Uhm Jung Hwa and her brother Uhm Tae Woong (actor) came in at #3 with a total of 113 votes. The rest of the votes went to actor Ryu Seung Bum and his brother (film director), actor Ha Jung Woo and his father (actor), and actor Song Il Gook and his mother (actress).

Like most men, when the words Kim Tae Hee and genes are used in the same sentence I can’t help but think of her other jeans and how I would love to see them on my bedroom floor. However, Uhm Jung Hwa is a different story. She is way to freaky looking for me. At first I thought since when does having a plastic face and body account for having good genes? Then I remembered those old pre-plastic pictures of Jung Hwa and, in my opinion, she used to be cute before she had her plastic surgeon chop her up like he was butchering an animal. By now Jung Hwa must have a healthy bank account though, and if she does then she would be a decent sugar mama noona candidate.
