manager VS Shin Hyeon-joon

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

Shin Hyeon-joon has been sued by his manager for harrassing him and now he has honestly revealed his point of view finally.

He apologizes for any worries and issues brought up.

The manager had been late in schedules for a film festival and a conference interview that led to a dutch rub on the head!

In addition, there was an incident that the manager was also late from a car wash that a public event got delayed. Shin disciplined the manager by hitting him with a newspaper.

However, the manager has a different story that Shin had punched him in the chest because of mistakes.

Shin said that because they have been working together for 6 years and have been like brothers that recent problems might have hurt his feelings. Furthermore, Shin wanted to announce a public apology statement, but it was no use for the manager.

Inspecting the manager's point of view has been delayed by the police. More investigations will be made on this case.

The movie star is currently filming the new movie, "Family Picture".

[etude.livejournal.com]

4Minute HyunA (17) continues to be enveloped in criticisms against her over-revealing performing outfits. For 4Minute’s performance on ‘46th DaeJung Film Festival’ on 26th September, the safety shorts that she was wearing underneath her mini-dress was seen exposed once again. This is not the first time that this incident had happened. Previously, netizens have raised concerns over the super short mini-dress, that she was wearing to performances on music shows.

A fancam video of her performance was also uploaded on Youtube showing the mini-dress that she was wearing constantly going up and she had to pull it down many times during the performance.

Koreans separated for more than 50 years reunite

[pinkiyoojin.livejournal.com]

South Korean Lee Jung-ho, left, cries with his North Korean elder brother Lee Kwae Seok, right, who joined the South Korean military and was taken prisoner by North Korea during the Korean War, during the reunion meeting, on the Diamond Mountain in North Korea, Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009. More than 120 South Koreans, most in their 70s or older, arrived in the Diamond Mountain resort on North Korea's east coast on Saturday for the reunions, according to the Unification Ministry handling inter-Korean affairs.



SEOUL, South Korea – Lee Dong-un cried and held the hands of his 60-year-old North Korean daughter Saturday during their first meeting in more than half a century. They were one of hundreds of families reuniting as part of a program revived by Pyongyang in an effort to ease tensions with South Korea.

The meeting was bittersweet for Lee, who left behind his pregnant wife and daughter, then 2 years old, in North Korea when he fled to the South during the Korean War. The 84-year-old burst into tears after his daughter told him his pregnant wife was killed when a bomb fell on her North Korean town.

"I always thought about you. I've never dreamed that we could meet," the elder Lee said, according to South Korean media pool reports. No foreign journalists were invited to the reunions.

BoA sings for Namco’s Tales of Graces

[etude.livejournal.com]

BoA, who has been trying to make a break in the US, temporarily returns to Japan to record the new title song of the immensely popular video game series, Tales.

Namco Bandai announced at Tokyo Game Show 2009 that the main theme song for Tales of Graces, the 12th installment of the famous Japanese RPG (stands for role-playing game) series, is "まもりたい～White Wish～" (I want to protect her～White Wish～). Unfortunately the song has not been released yet, but I think it's safe to say that since it is BoA working with the Tales series (which has been known for its beautiful soundtrack), something amazing will come out. This may be the perfect combination for the avid video gamers and BoA fanboys (or girls). Tales of Graces is set to be released this December.

Below is the official trailer for Tales of Graces:
