KARA Goo Hara, “Rumours of plastic surgery? I just did my eyes, nose and mouth”

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

KARA Goo Hara speaks up about rumours of plastic surgery brought up after there were comparisons of her photos during middle school and currently.

Goo Hara was on SBS Strong Heart aired on 5th January when she said, “This is the truth that I’m going to reveal for the first time. There is no female idol singers who will reveal such a thing.” She continued, “To say the truth if you are a female celebrity, you want to be called as beautiful by others. That was what I felt when I was young and I just made myself a little prettier.”

With that, the others around during the show had asked if she has undergone plastic surgery, she said, “I will not say that I didn’t” laughing.

She added, “Even though this is something I reveal here, the double eyelids, I have them since I was young. But our boss said my eyes looked dull in photos and hence we fixed it once.”

“Our boss also said, ‘There is no need for the nose to be higher, we shall just go for one jab shot’” and Jang YeongRan asked, “Are you talking about fillers?” and Hara said, “Yes.”

Goo Hara also said, “I only did my teeth”.

Following that gagwoman Kim HyoJin said, “Isn’t your eyes, nose and mouth the whole of your face?” causing laugther during the show.

Lastly, Goo Hara said, “I feel good inside after saying this out.”

She was really cute while saying it.

jeon jihyun in a new movie

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

It had been speculated that a drama would be Jeon Ji-hyun’s next project following her attempt to go global in Blood: The Last Vampire, but on December 6, her management company, Sidus HQ, confirmed her next role: the movie adaptation of Lisa See’s bestselling novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. It will be directed by Joy Luck Club’s Wayne Wang, co-stars (and is produced by) Zhang Ziyi, and is to be produced in English.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is set in 19th-century China and tells the story of two best friends, Lily and Snow Flower. The plot involves a secret language called Nu Shu, which is used only among women, and Zhang will take the lead role of Snow Flower. Although the book doesn’t overtly draw the women’s friendship as lesbian, their relationship has sensual overtones and includes a nude scene. (This scene is the reason that Shu Qi reportedly turned down the role.)

taeyeon not at fault for laughter?

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

Kim Jungkwan PD explained SNSD's Taeyeon's outburst of laughter during ChinChin radio session.

On 6th, TV Daily had a phone interview with Kim Jungkwan PD and he said, "First, Taeyeon is faultless regarding this matter. The other news articles which claimed 'Taeyeon started laughing while reading a letter from a listener' is wrong".

Kim Jungkwan PD continued, "I am very disconcerted regarding this incident, because it shouldn't have become this serious. There was a reason to why she laughed, but she didn't laugh after reading a letter from a listener or the typo on the script. At that time, there was a circumstance in the studio; Taeyeon burst out laughing because of that circumstance".

Also, he added, "Unfortunately, I am unable to explain to you what that circumstance was because it is an internal problem. At that time, Taeyeon apologized three times and I think it is wrong for her to apologize again during future radio session, when she is not at fault".

Finally, he expressed his frustration, "It is unfortunate to see the portion of media taking advantage of this matter and write malicious news articles that read 'After reading a story about how someone failed a test for college, Taeyeon laughed at it'".

Hope it's okay to post a separate entry for this, mods. A PD spoke out, so I figured it would clear things up.

Andy will enlist on Jan 11th

[jinjja.livejournal.com]

Shinhwa's Andy will be entering active military service on January 11, 2009 2010.

Andy will enter the Choongnam Army Training Facility at 1pm on the 11th, where he will go through basic training, and then leave to fulfill his military obligations for two years.

According to Andy's representative, "Although he is entering the miliatry on the 11th, he had a very busy schedule, which included holding concerts, including his Asia Tour. He is spending the beginning of the year taking care of personal matters before he enters the military."

In 2003, Andy gave up his green card in the U.S. to be a celebrity in Korea, including Shinhwa activities. Among Shinhwa members, Andy will be on the only one entering active military service.

Upon hearing the news that he will be entering active military service, his fans have been expressing their sadness. His fans have expressed their sadness while sending their support by saying, "Andy oppa, it's going to be difficult for you to enter the military when it's cold," "He's going to active military service, that's admirable," and "Will be able to see him after two years?".

**Koreans differentiate between Active and Non-active military service. The only difference is that in Active military service, they have to live in military dorms on base, while non-active members (Eric, DW, JunJin) get to go home everyday (think of it as equal to working a 9-5 job).

Wow, active service! I'm surprised, I would have though he'd go for non-active like the others.

Slowly our time of having a reunited Shinhwa again is drawing closer ^^ And although we say goodbye to Andy this year, we get Eric back in just a few months, and Dongwan around November!

"Witch hunting" on the web. The latest Korean fad?

[anti-tortoise.livejournal.com]

One day you wake up to find your personal life plastered all over the web — photographs of your school days, anonymous comments you made on websites and images of your Facebook page. What do you do?

Most South Koreans would advise you to “disappear” for a while. When a university student, who was recently attacked in such a way, responded by posting more things on the web, it only served to fuel the fire.

IU shuts down minihompy because of angry Yoseob fans

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

On New Years Day, cutie IU got together with Yoseob of BEAST for a special performance of Marshmallow on KBS Music Bank. Well this didn't sit well with the BEAST / Yoseob fans as they went to her cyworld minihompy and posted many negative comments which caused her to shut down her minihompy.

This isn't the first time that this has occurred as Ivy's minihompy was attacked by 2PM fans in November.

Many of the BEAST / Yoseob fans left profanity laced negative comments, there were some fan boys of IU defending her but they were greatly outnumbered. Quite unfortunate that fan girls can get so jealous over a harmless innocent performance. Thanks to elusive for the tip.

Everything Has A Price, Even Free Hugs

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

F.cuz members hospitalized!

Bad news for all you fans expecting F.cuz to debut! Every single F.cuz member was taken to the E.R. due to exhaustion.

This news coming with only a few more days until their official debut on January 8th is terrible news indeed.

A quick review of what happened:

On January 2nd, F.cuz held their Free Hug event at Dong Dae Mun in Seoul. The event proved to be very popular and fans came from all over Korea in the freezing cold weather to get a hug. The entire district was shut down for a while because of the sheer amount of people who came.

The event lasted an hour and the members took the time to hug their fans personally until the end of the event.

Sadly, this event coupled with preparation for their debut led to extreme exhaustion and the members had to be taken to the E.R. to receive a shot of Ringer’s solution (what Ringer's solution is/used for).

A representative of the group said, “The members are overly passionate about their debut stage performance and they have been practicing every night until late, to the state of complete exhaustion. On the day of the Hug Event, the cold weather had been harsh and this resulted in their extreme exhaustion. We looked for a hospital and they received their treatment.” “With their debut approaching, we will check on the members’ health conditions and do our best. Perhaps a silver lining on this is that this happened before their debut.”

Hopefully they’ve recovered fully so they’ll be ready to get down as “JIGGY” will be released on the 8th of January!

Prosecutors prepare to summon G-Dragon to court

[vvvanilla.livejournal.com]

Big Bang's G-Dragon will be summoned to an investigation for the violation of the Youth Protection Act and for lewd conduct.

The investigation will focus on G-Dragon's 1st solo concert last year, “Shine a Light”, which exhibited sexual and violent themes, and the fact that it was rated as "strictly prohibited for pre-teens under the age of 12".

The Eastern Seoul District Prosecutor official stated, “We are in the process of collecting and reviewing all the information on the subject matter,” then continued, “We will determine the specific time frame when G-Dragon will be summoned to this investigation after this.”

G-Dragon held his concert last December which included a sexy performance with a female dancer for his song, Breathe.

The prosecutors are seeking for reasons why “She’s Gone” and “Korean Dream”, which were banned by the same Act in November, were still added to the show.

The two songs mentioned are considered not suitable for minors and are prohibited for sale, rent, screening and/or distributing in any channels by this law.

Individuals who are convicted of lewd conduct according to the Article 245 will face fine not exceeding ₩ 5,000,000 and one-year imprisonment and the penalties for the violation of the Youth Protection Act are ₩ 20,000,000 in fines and three-year imprisonment.

A representative from YG Entertainment gave a statement on the issue saying, “YG will assist the investigators in this process and will take care of it on behalf of the client (G-Dragon)" and added, “we will hereby accept the decision and are responsible for the legal action taken according to the Act.”
