It has been a long wait but it's certainly something worth waiting for. Actress Yoon Eun Hye will finally be returning to the small screen with a new drama this August after a near 2 years absence with Coffee Prince.

Yoon Eun Hye will be returning with the drama called Lady Castle which is tentatively set for a 19th August premiere on KBS2TV. Lady Castle will be taking over the spot vacated by the lawyer drama, Partners in the Wed-Thus timeslot if everything goes according to schedule (barring drama extensions, etc). Competing dramas will be SBS's Swallow the Sun starring Ji Sung, Sung Yuri, Lee Wan and MBC's horror drama, Soul, starring Lee Seo Jin.

Lady Castle is a story about 3 daughters and the inheritance left by their father. Their lifestyle is disrupted after a poor man disguises himself as a housekeeper/manager of a rich house with an eye on the family’s hidden slush fund. He falls in love with the haughty second daughter (of three), Noh Yura, played by Yoon Eun Hye. Noh Yura is a lady who possesses a goddess-like beauty. She is strong-headed, selfish and the world revolves around her, where all things must go her way. Yet, Yura is lonely and longs to be loved, and for this, Yura is weak in front of true love and is one who you cannot help but love.

Many have been waiting for Yoon Eun Hye's return since Coffee Prince in 2007 and the delay was partly due to the problems that Lee Kim Productions had been facing with the Park Shin Yang saga. Only Eun Hye has been confirmed for the drama thus far but things are going to be accelerated, with the broadcaster now secured. Most are wondering who will be the guys romancing Eun Hye.

Glad this is finally getting a release date. I'm stoked. I love her.

JYP has plans for a new girlgroup to debut later half of this year after their girlgroup WonderGirls. With the WonderGirls busy advancing into the American market, JYP is planning on pushing their new ‘Jewel’ of the company.

When it rains, it pours. I guess last year there were 5983472 boy groups that debuted, this year it's all about the ladies.

Kim So-eun trades her usual long, straight locks for a curly mop and a smoky eye in the July issue of Singles.

Inside the magazine, the interview with Kim talks of the roles she’s taken on as a child actor, as well as her breakout role playing Chae Shi-ra’s younger character in the historical series Iron Empress and, of course, by her popularity as Ga-eul in Boys Before Flowers. In the few months since the latter wrapped, Kim So-eun has picked up numerous endorsement deals for brands like Clean and Clear, Pocari Sweat, and Anycall.

Kim So-eun calls herself “lucky” in her roles, talks about studying hard for university entrance (which friends told her was unnecessary since she’s famous), and recounts how she earned the nickname of “Runaway” in high school because she used to always run away whenever a boy she liked would appear.

She currently stars in The Man Who Can’t Get Married, which just began airing yesterday on KBS. The drama pulled in a mere 8% rating on its first day (competitor Queen Seon-deok is holding strong with 27%). Already she is drawing notice for her new role, which differs from her sweet and innocent Ga-eul character; in The Man Who Can’t Get Married, she displays a bright, lively personality with a hint of slyness. (That’s according to the reviews; haven’t seen it for myself yet. Anybody got comments on the drama?)

Q. How did you feel after winning number one on the day of your comeback stage?

Minho: I was really surprised. At first, I thought that I would be really happy with just being close to ranking number one, but then we actually got number one...

Q. Key had a really unbelievable expression!

Key: Haha, my expression seems to not have been under my control (laughs)
Minho: That day was pretty exciting. Even though winning number one is a good thing, we saw the Super Junior hyungs tearing up for our win, and I just became really excited and emotional.

Q. Though it is well-received, the "Juliette" concept is pretty radical. Key wore a pink halter top that revealed his back on 'Inkigayo'. Did you not feel flustered about it?

Key: When I first wore these kinds of clothes last year, I was pretty flustered. But now I'm not really surprised by it. I actually like it now (laughs).
Jonghyun: Isn't it just like a girl's halter top? (laughs)
Key: That was outdated 20 years ago! (laughs) We have also studied a bit about fashion concepts, and I'd be okay if I had to take pictures with these kinds of clothes again. It feels fitting.

Key: When you're shopping with me, it can never be boring. )

They will be performing on Mnet M!Countdown coming 18th June, both 1st time on this music show for the 2 groups. It will be 2NE1’s first performance on this show since debut and will be the debut stage for group 4Minute.

YG Entertainment said on the 16th via phone interview, “We have decided for the girls to perform on M!Countdown coming 18th. But for the music shows this weekend, we have not yet decided about it.” All this while the girls have been performing just once a week to focus on the quality of their performance. Whether they will perform more than twice this week has not been confirmed

While 4Minute will also have their debut stage performing ‘Hot Issue’ on M!Countdown. They were also the top searched keywords on portal sites after their song was revealed yesterday.

On the 14th, MBC “Horror Movie Factory” starring Girls’ Generation aired their last episode due to low ratings. Yes, and many fans, like me, were very upset that we couldn’t see our beloved girls anymore…

BUT it looks like we won’t be upset for long. Apparently MBC and the girls are shooting a new show where the girls will be helping out restaurants and the team who is gathers more customers win. The show’s new MCs seem to be Kim Yongman, Shin Junghwan, and Boom.

The eight girls (excluding Yoona who might join later on the show) will be divided with Shin Junghwan and Boom. Junghwan's team will consist of Taeyeon, Jessica, Tiffany, and Sooyoung while Boom’s team will be made up of Seohyun, Yuri, Sunny and Hyoyeon. But the basic idea of the show is for the girls to help people out in different ways, aw!

Let’s wish the girls the best with this show since “Horror Movie Factory” didn’t end so well.

Watch these pictures some by-passers took of the girls (probably trying to gather some customers.)

Rain trying to save money by not wearing shirts


The lawsuit that had to do with canceling of Rain's concert last March in Hawaii was settled outside of courts on the 12th for an undisclosed amount. The juries judgement included that Rain and JYP Entertainment were to pay Click Entertainment $8 Million Dollars, however the Judge acknowledged the judgment of the juries to be incorrect. This settlement is expected to play a role in the Los Angeles lawsuit as well.

Initially, when the Hawaiian jury made their judgment, the judge told the jury to rethink the amount. The judge felt that the juries decision was wrong so he told the parties to try and work it out themselves. It is speculated that they settled for $2.2 Million Dollars, the calculated loss of Click Entertainment.

It is reported that the judge played a huge role in this trial.

New solo female pop act, Dahee (which sounds like “Die” if said quickly) will make her grand entrance into the pop world in August.

Under J-tune Entertainment (that’s Rain’s management company, folks), the 16 year old highschooler (we know) has finished recording her debut album and just has to shoot her album cover and music video.

As for the style concept for the new pop act? J-tunes is keeping it under wraps, but we speculate that she will probably follow in the footsteps of her sonbae, Rain.

With the year half-over, expect more 28-year-old actors to cram in last projects and head off for their mandatory military service, since 1981-ers who have not yet completed their requirement will have to fulfill it this year. Actor and singer Lee Dong-gun has announced that he will be heading off to serve in active duty next month.

Lee recently received his papers and will go without further postponement. His last event as an entertainer will be a fanmeeting to take place on July 18 in Seoul. In contrast with some actors who have busily packed their last months with project after project, Lee has kept fairly under the radar over the last year, ever since wrapping 2008’s MBC drama series When Night Comes (aka Every Night) with Kim Sun-ah. He did release a single album in Japan, but hadn’t really had the chance to do much promotional work for it. The only time he surfaced in the news recently was when it became known he is dating A Star’s Lover actress Cha Ye-ryun.

Meanwhile, actors who have headed off this year for army duty include Lee Jin-wook, Jo In-sung, Kim Jae-won, and Jo Seung-woo. Those yet to enlist who are expected to do so soon include Kim Rae-won, Lee Ki-woo, and Jo Han-seon.

…and that’s because here we have a couple of new photos showing off the hard bod of Julien Kang, an actor who plays a fellow mixed martial arts fighter character in the upcoming SBS drama Dream.

Not only does Julien have the muscular physique to play such an athlete, he’s the real-life younger brother to fighter Dennis Kang — not that this makes him an automatically better fighter, but it does suggest he’s got a certain familiarity with the sport.

Meanwhile, Dream headliner Kim Bum is certainly looking adorable these days, but he’s got a ways to catch up if he wants to bulk up to hold his own as a juvenile delinquent-turned-fighter. (As we can see from his latest appearances and recent movie stills, despite the fact that Kim Bum is purportedly working out for his drama role, he still looks as much a skinny pretty boy as ever.)

Dream premieres in August.

Ariel Lin secretly meets two handsome Super Junior members in Ilan
Tuesday June 16, 2009


For Ariel Lin’s new album “Xin Fu Yu Jian,” [the record company] secretly invited two of the most famous guys among the 13 from the South Korean super-idol band “Super Junior” – Siwon and Donghae – to come to Taiwan and appear in her MV. Yesterday morning the three met in secret at Ilan’s Dasi Station and immediately started shooting a departure (separation) scene, conveying a picture of perfect understanding.

Siwon and Donghae’s secret trip to Taiwan
Sources said this collaboration was made on condition that it be confidential. To keep it confidential, even Siwon and Donghae’s bodyguards – who are usually dressed in suits changed to casual clothing -- to accompany them. But fans are very resourceful and were heatedly discussing on PTT the MV shoot in Ilan. Sources said the news originated from Baidu.

Siwon and Donghae arrived in Taiwan at 8:50pm on Monday via EVA Air’s BR519 flight. The two had hats on and were wearing casual outfits, with the five-member group pushing a cart full of luggage. As the trip was confidential, there were no fans to meet the SJ’s two most famous members. Maybe it was the company’s success in keeping the trip a secret, Donghae even gave a big laugh, face up when he came out of immigration. It looked like he was in a good mood.

Family Outing fans from around the world were shaken by the news that “Sweet and Savage” Park Yejin and “Clumsy” Lee Chunhee will be leaving the show. One of the two casted to fill those sizable shoes is Park Shi Yeon who will be starting filming her first episode with Korea’s favourite family on the 15th.

As you might guess, she’s pretty damned nervous about it. This will be her first time as a fixed member of a entertainment programme since her debut and she revealed that she is a regular fan of Family Outing. “I like Family Outing so much, that when the call came, I was surprised and worried; I didn’t know how to react. But after talking with the PD, I became more ambitious about the project”.
