The SNSD member Yoona, who is currently acting in MBC "Cinderella Man," is playing her role as an adult perfectly. She debuted as a singer and crossed over to such a diverse and emotional actress, catching the attentions of viewers.
She's acting alongside the hallyu star Kwon Sangwoo, and senior actor/actress Song Changui and Han Eunjung, showing a cute and lively, and sometimes serious personality. By acting all these emotions, she is showing her "green thumb" in acting to all the viewers.

lol at the last line - she's only the lead actress. I think there's a lot of hype on her acting - from others who are perhaps 24 or older, do you think she's convincing as an agassi? Praise from that affiliate is pretty high, but we've seen how the media and its representatives exaggerate. Now I've got to catch up on this drama.

2NE1 member Sandara Park explains the photos of her and her ex boyfriend surfaced on the internet.
She said in a interview on 20th, “Those were photos I took when I was active for a broadcast program in the Philippines.”
In the photos which surfaced a while back, Sandara Park had posed intimately with a male model. Sandara Park had won #1 on a Filipino audition show and had debut there.
She said, “We were filming a program similar to Korea’s We Got Married and were acting like lovers. The concept of the show is that we do make-believe couples. And those photos were the photos when we were on the program.”

The spreading of influenza in region of Kasai, Japan makes a lot of new artists to cancel all performances, however the current national tour held by Tohoshinki is not yet affected.
Tohoshinki is now running their 4th Japan tour The Secret Code, which was begun in Kobe (May 4th -5th), Saitama (May 9th – 10th), Sendai (May 16th – 17th), etc.
On May 21st Tohoshinki’s spokesperson Song Hwang Ri said, “On May 23rd – 24th, Tohoshinki will have concert in Sapporo and Sapporo is not in Kansai region.”
Thus, up until now, Tohoshinki’s 4th live tour in Japan will be able to run safely. But the problem will raise in the mid-June, where Tohoshinki’s concert finally is scheduled to be performed in several cities in Kansai region: Osaka (June 10th – 11th, June 13th – 14th) and Nagoya (June 18th, 20th, and 21st).
For Kansai region in Japan is currently stated as new influenza pandemic, Tohoshinki’s concert can’t guarantee to be held as scheduled in those areas. There’s one popular singer’s performances which was originally scheduled to be held in that area as well, however due to the spread of influenze cases in Kansai, has been recently canceled.
Meanwhile, Tohoshinki’s Tokyo Dome The Secret Code concert will be held on July 4th – 5th as the last show of the tour.

Group Big Bang leader GDragon talks about the responsibilities he has as a leader to the group.
He met up with some reporters recently and talked about his solo album, “I am very sorry to fans about postponing the release date of my solo album. But as compared to my solo album, Big Bang is more important.”
GDragon’s solo album was initially set to be released in April or May. But a while back, YG Yang Hyun Seok wrote a note on YG Entertainment’s official website saying the album will be postponed till August instead.

I am really doubting his solo album will be in Aug, especially since he's so busy with their Japan activities too. :( Poor bb. :(

Hyun Bin's new Laneige Homme CF
2009-05-21 05:05 pm
Looking better and better these days, Hyun Bin (The World We Live In, My Lovely Samsoon) is the face of Laneige Homme (라네즈 옴므). His last appearance on behalf of Amorepacific's cosmetics brand Laneige was at the last pink marathon with Yoon Eun-hye.
Binnie's new CF is for Laneige's sun block lotion. The commercial was filmed on the roof-top of a building in Gangnam, Seoul. The purpose is to show off Seoul's cosmopolitan skyline.
Hyun Bin, who's in the middle of shooting his drama Friend, Our Legend is sporting very short hair and is looking very lean indeed. This look is very suitable for portraying a sophisticated male style.
All this talk is of no use, you'd just have to check out the videos for yourself.

Seven membered group 2PM (Jaebum, Junsu, Wooyoung, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Chansung, Junho) is in one of their hottest times after their debut. Last year in August, they began rising after their debut single ‘10 Points Out of 10′ and this year release ‘Again & Again’ which created a hit. Currently they are ranked #1 continuously in programs as they could be a record holder for the new kids on the block.
But still they say that “Like our debut days, we spend our time practicing acrobatics” which shows that 2PM hasn’t lost their focus as a new group.
On an average day, they have 3-4 schedules but never fail to lose their goofiness despite how tired they are. We have gathered a behind the scenes pictures of the 2PM boys in their 20s doing selca (self cam) photos along with making their own commentary per photo, explaining the scene before everyone.
