From Top Left to Bottom: Lee Seung-gi, Kang Ho-dong, Eun Ji-won, Kim Jong-min, Uhm Tae-woong, Lee Soo-geun Uhm Tae-woong’s inauguration as 1 Night 2 Day’s sixth member aired on March 6, 2011 to positive responses and solid ratings. The show starts off with the regular five members’ introduction. Kang Ho-dong (the main MC) introduces the new member, but Uhm Tae-woong is nowhere to be found. PD Na tells them that he told Uhm Tae-woong that filming started at 11. The members are furious and yell in protest saying PD Na is showing favoritism because he’s a famous actor. PD Na informs them that it’s their mission to wake Uhm Tae-woong up, wash him, dress him, feed him, and bring him back to KBS within an hour!

Back in December, Park Hee-soon was cast in Kabi  along with Lee Da-hae, Joo Jin-mo, and Yoo Sun. However, due to schedule conflicts, Lee Da-hae has dropped out of the project. In addition, the budget has been reduced to half of the boasted W 10,000,000,000 (won). This makes me sad because what I had hoped wouldn’t happen to this movie is happening! There are also rumors floating around that Joo Jin-mo might drop, too, but the producers are adamantly stating that he’s just making sure there are no schedule conflicts. Apparently, Kabi has yet to start filming which is causing the actors to drop. However, a representative from yeuleum (summer) entertainment, Park Hee-soon's management company, has stated that Park Hee-soon has no plans of dropping the project and will adjust his schedule accordingly once the movie starts filming. I wasn’t completely interested in Kabi to be honest. I was simply excited that Park Hee-soon had movies to film which means that I wo...

Park Ye-jin!!?? Say what?! This is no April Fools joke. (it’s March…) Park Hee-soon’s management company has just confirmed that the two have been dating for a month. Apparently, Park Ye-jin is also in the same, overall company (the owner has two managements). The two met each other two years ago through friends, but it wasn’t until they were in the same company did they get to know each other better. Park Hee-soon is eleven years older than Park Ye-jin. I can hear Park Ye-jin’s fans yelling in protest, but I can see why she would fall for him. He’s absolutely charismatic on screen, and everyone who knows him says he’s a really friendly 선배 (senior). Jin-goo (costarring in Bloody Fight with Park Hee-soon) recently stated in an interview that his current goal is to get Lee Byung-hyun and Park Hee-soon married. Ironically, I just finished watching Fortune Salon which Park Ye-jin stars in and liked her in that. However, OH MY FREAKIN’ GOSH!!!!!!!!! This totally caught be off gu...

Park Yong-woo's new film Children opened in theatres on the 17th of February, and not even two weeks after its opening, has reached 1.3 million admissions. It continues to place first in the box-office. The movie is based off a true event about a case of missing children known as the “frog boys” who disappeared in the countryside and still remain missing presently. The teaser is here along with a short list of the main cast. Park Yong-woo plays a middle-aged man and stated in multiple interviews that it was a difficult project. He worried if he had done justice to his character and the emotions of the children’s parents. In addition, Park Yong-woo said that he felt a greater responsibility while filming this one than his previous works because not only did he have to live up to the producers’ expectations, he was now in the position of possibly rekindling interest in this case and moving the masses. It appears his wish for people not to forget the “frog boys” may come true. ...

Min-gyu (Kim Soo-ro) loses his wife. Mi-mi (Kim Ji-won) goes searching for her cancer ridden mother’s last hope. Ji-wook (Kim Dong-wook) meets his grandfather’s forever cherished first love. These people’s sincere love may have opened the doors to heaven! Jang Jin directs another film which he describes as his will to his wife. I like Jang Jin and find his humor similar to my sense of humor. Romantic Heaven looks sweet, and I can already see some of Jang Jin’s specialty of making seemingly unfunny situations humorous. I also have a soft-spot for Kim soo-ro who looks so depressed that I just want to give him a huge hug to cheer him up. Romantic Heaven does not have a set date but plans to open in theatres in March.     Synopsis Via Movie Naver

It's been confirmed that Uhm Tae-woong has been casted as the new sixth member of 1 Night 2 Days! Wait for a minute as I scream and jump in joy! Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! TOTALLY EPIC! I love 1 Night 2 Days and have been an avid viewer for years, but lately the on slaughter of bad news has had its toll on the show. I wasn’t really expecting anyone I knew as the new member, so this news caught me totally off guard. Apparently, PD Na liked how Uhm’s actor-image was different from his actual personality. In addition, he thought Uhm would fit well with the other members. I’m still a little worried for him, though. 1 Night 2 Days is a very popular variety show which also means that it’s under a lot of scrutiny. I’m sure Uhm will gain many more fans but with more fans come along anti-fans. I’ll just pray that he does well and finds his niche quickly. Uhm’s first filming will begin on the 25th! On a side-note, there were many rumors surrounding Lee Seung-gi and how he was dropping the ...

Jung Jae-young posed for some pictures and had an interview with Allure. He worked with a 6 months old Chihuahua (pictured above) and a 5 months old parrot (pictured below). They look absolutely adorable and are too cute for words! He is currently promoting his new film Glove which has surpassed 1.5 million viewers. I'm really anticipating the movie ( trailer ). It looks heartwarming and will probably have me giggling and sniffling at the same time. Via Allure  (full interview here in korean)

His birthday was yesterday in Korea, but I don't live in Korea so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Just sharing some pictures of the one and only Park Hee-soon.

The ever so funny and cool Park Hee-soon graced us with his presence (because he's just that awesome!). Well, he didn't really appear but tweeted. February 3 was the lunar New Year, so Park Hee-soon sent a “Secret Garden Version New Year Message” via twitter. My rough translation: “Hey look! This message I’m sending isn’t the sort of message you’re thinking! This message is from the message-craftsman who for thirty years painstakingly pressed “one letter” “one letter” with his thumb; it’s that kind of message!! Therefore you should sacredly cherish this community leader’s message! It’s fine for you to be thankful!! That’s why I sent it... Happy New Years, this year will definitely have days where you frown, and there will probably be hard and painful days, too. However, I hope there will be lots of brighter days and stay healthy. How can you make me send a message first? You amazing person! Receive lots of luck this year (basically meaning Happy New Year) ^^ ” The actua...

 Finally, Park Hee-soon's movie Bloody Fight has gotten a premiere date! After months of being stuck in a timeless limbo, the movie plans to open on the 24th of February. I don't have much to say about the posters. They look cheesy, but the more I look, they seem better. I just hope the movie itself isn't cheesy. The trailer looks better. The movie also stars Jin-goo and Go Chang-suk. Kim Gab-soo also appears in the trailer for about a second. News via Sports World  (korean)
