Uee, a member of the girl group After School, has been picked as a CF model for Samsung Electronics' handset "Anycall."
Just four months have passed since her debut as a singer.
Uee, 21, whose real name is Kim Yoo-jin, appeared in two of the three recently filmed Anycall omnibus commercials, along with Lee Min-ho and Kim Hyun-joong, heroes of TV series "Boys Over Flowers." In the commercials, she showed off her lively, cute image while acting as the lover of the two celebrities.
So far, only top stars such as Lee Hyori, Eric, BoA and Lee Joon-ki have starred in Anycall commercials.
An official at Pledis Entertainment, Uee's agency, was quoted as saying that the agency has been flooded with phone calls from cosmetics and clothing companies seeking Uee to appear in their commercials.
Apart from performing as a member of After School, Uee has drawn popularity by starring in MBC TV's variety show "We Got Married" alongside Park Jae-jung.

ashiva.livejournal.comPolice made public additional video footage of a man suspected of stealing an urn containing the ashes of the late actress Choi Jin-sil on Monday and placed him on a wanted list.
Launching an open investigation, the Yangpyeong Police Station asked for tips and/or cooperation from citizens to nail the suspect, offering a reward of 3 million won ($2,400) in cash.
So far, police have conducted a low-key investigation into the incident that took place on Aug. 5. However, they recently decided to change their method as little progress had been made.
The police showed new surveillance camera images of the suspect caught on Aug. 2 in which a man seemingly aged between his late 30s and early 50s is strolling around the tomb for about 13 minutes, measuring length and writing something.
In previously released images last week, a man, who police presume is the same individual, approached Choi's tomb, made a hole in it with a hammer, and took the urn, at 3:45 a.m.

ashiva.livejournal.comTicket sales for the Korean ski jumping film "Take Off (Gukgadaepyo)" topped 5 million over the weekend, becoming the second most-watched local film among this year's releases, the Korean Film Council said Monday and Yonhap News reported.
Featuring the country's oft-overlooked national ski jumping team, the film drew more than 5.2 million viewers as of Sunday, its 26th day of screening, the film council said.
"Take Off" is the second movie to surpass the 5-million viewer mark among this year's domestic releases following "Haeundae," and continues to top the local box office.
"Haeundae," a big-budget disaster film directed by Yoon Je-kyoon, has drawn more than 10 million viewers, according to its distributor JK Films, becoming the fifth Korean movie to reach the milestone.
Part non-fiction, "Take Off" spotlights a hodge-podge ski jumping team assembled to support a bid by the Korean city of Muju for the Winter Olympics in 1996. Directed by Kim Yong-hwa, creator of the 2006 box office hit "200 Pound Beauty," the film stars actor Ha Jeong-woo, who plays a Korean-American adoptee and former U.S. junior alpine skier.

Big Bang was a featured guest on a recent episode of the popular Japanese show Hey! Hey! Hey! (Hey x 3). Since all members were present during the playback (Daesung included), it seems the recording for this particular episode took place weeks ago. I couldn't understand what they're saying but it was still funny to watch the interactions, they also performed their single "Gara Gara Go." In the past, TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki was on Hey x3 as guests previously on a couple of occassions.
( Heyx3 appearance w/translation! and performance below the cut along with a cut from the Big Bang in Japan segment of the DVD released with the special edition of their latest Japanese album. )

As soon as their music starts, you know it's Crying Nut. The five-member rock band has released a new album after a three-year hiatus. Their sixth album is titled "Uncomfortable Party," and my first reaction to it was that they're still the "bad boys" of the Korean music scene. Bold yet metaphoric and cynical yet humorous lyrics cleverly combined with simple, funky rhythms are, after all, what propelled this underground indie band to stardom.

Actor Kim Myung-min in a scene from his new film "Closer to Heaven"
Constantly transforming, from a callous doctor to a feisty conductor, Kim Myung-min is an actor with many faces, but he was unrecognizably thin in the movie trailer for "Closer to Heaven" (working title), revealed to the press Monday in Seoul.
The 36-year-old star shed 20 kilograms to play a terminally ill man in the film and still carried a considerably thin frame and deeply sunken cheeks ― a striking contrast from past appearances as a tough detective ("Open City") or valiant general (TV soap "Immortal Admiral Yi Sun-shin").

ashiva.livejournal.comPolice are questioning a suspect in the theft of the actress Choi Jin-sil's ashes, they said Monday. "The suspect was caught while demanding money for the ashes. We are investigating whether the arrested man is the actual thief," Yangpyeong police said.
Police earlier released CCTV images of a suspect taken on Aug. 2 at around sunrise, giving a clearer picture of the face than those previously released. W3 million (US$1=W1,242) for information about the suspect's identity and whereabouts is being offered by the police and another W30 million by cemetery management.
The thief apparently cased Choi's tomb thoroughly before stealing the urn. Police said CCTV footage shows the suspect wandering around the tomb for nearly 10 hours from 8 p.m. on Aug. 1 until 6 a.m. the next day."
