Boy Meets Boy director comes back with a second film

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

Director Kim Jo Gwang-soo added an entry to the small-but-growing category of Korean queer cinema with his short film Boy Meets Boy, starring rising pretty-boy actor Kim Hye-sung. He is following that with his second film, Friends? [친구사이?], which isn’t quite feature-length but clocks in as a mid-length film at 50 minutes.

Friends?, like Boy Meets Boy, is based on the director’s own experiences; while Boy depicted two high schoolers meeting in a first-love experience, Friends? is a little more mature and the characters a bit older. It also ups the skinship quotient. (Boy’s allure was in its lingering looks and silences, while these still shots from Friends? depict the two young actors kissing, and there is reportedly also a bed scene.)

For being such a short film, Boy Meets Boy garnered a fair amount of attention, partly because it was a sweet narrative with nice directing, and partly, I believe, in symbolic support as a queer film. (Personally, I think it was a cute film — yes, singing Cupid notwithstanding — although I found myself wishing it were longer. As it was, it felt like a beautifully shot, atmospheric music video.)

Boy’s success means that Friends? was able to command more of a budget and shooting schedule than its predecessor (which was shot over a weekend). It recently wrapped filming and now enters post-production.

Seohyun and Yuri In The Recording Studio For Miero

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

You guys all know SNSD / Girls' Generation have been releasing diaries through the Miero drink website, right? Well, the next clip is out and it features Seohyun and Yuri. In the clip, the two girls are in the recording studio just having fun taking pictures, playing games, and recording themselves singing and acting as if they are the recording directors.

They are probably recording their new song here, seeing that they muted out the scenes where the girls are singing together. But you could hear Seohyun singing her line in ‘Gee’ and even singing a bit of trot. Now if only they had shown a preview of their new song Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" being sung live, this would’ve been the best episode out of the Miero Beauty N Diary 24 collection.

4Minute’s car damaged and belongings stolen – Who did it and why?



It has been known that group 4Minute’s car has been damaged together with their belongings stolen.

PlayCube Entertainment said on the 22nd, "On the morning of 21st June, the girls’ van parked near their practice rooms in Cheong Dam Dong had its rear window damaged and the girls’ belongings stolen. There were traces that the car was searched, and a video camera containing videos of the girls’ activities was stolen. We have already reported this to the police."

Is this the doing of a 4Minute fan, or is it done by their anti-fan is still unclear. Just 1 week into their debut and they have already have their belongings stolen and properties damaged. It seems that they are really making Hot Issues. A representative said, “Who did it and why? We will investigate it.”

Meanwhile the girls had their debut stage on 18th performing "Hot Issue" and have received great responses from their fans.
