Japanese celebrity who criticized Hallyu fired from his agency

[jaejunggim.livejournal.com]

A few days ago, we reported that Japanese actor Sousuke Takaoka had made several comments regarding his distaste of the ‘Hallyu Wave’ currently hitting Japan, which drew both withering criticism and cautious praise.

It was recently revealed that due to his inflammatory comments, the actor was fired from his entertainment agency, Stardust Promotion. In a series of tweets he posted to his Twitter account, he expressed his feelings over leaving the agency. He stated, “I was fired from Stardust Promotion. Because of a single mistake, it caused trouble to everyone related to the agency. I feel that this was a logical consequence. Thank you, everyone who supported me”.

He went on to say that he will not be making any protests stating, “I’m not hoping to be viewed as a wise person… I hope the citizens will make their own wise decisions.”

He also added, “I’m scared that there will be made-up reports of my fall from grace, but I’ll take the criticism that comes my way. Those of us in Japan who have yet to catch on will believe those reports. Please remember that I will not, 120 percent, commit suicide.”

Eric Tweets His Spy Myeongwol Character

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

Wherein Eric argues with self. Because why not, really? Eric is one of those stars known for being off-the-wall (he's pretty infamous for being a 4-D Hallyu star), and it seems he's outdone himself this time, creating a twitter account for his Myung-wol the Spy character Kang-woo, and then tweeting back and forth as Eric and Kang-woo. Yeah. He's that loony.

The conversation goes a little like this:

Kang-woo: Eric-sshi, do you know who I am? I didn't think you'd know... it's me, Hallyu star Kang-woo.
Kang-woo: So Eric-sshi does know who I am. Ah, is a Hallyu star's existence something the whole country knows?
Eric: Shut up, you ass. I don't like you, starting with the way you look.
Kang-woo: The way I look... they say I look like you. What do you think? But don't you honestly think I'm a little better?
Eric: Arrogant bastard... Sucker, go braid your hair!!! Are you at least eating, Hallyu star? Pfft.
Kang-woo: I don't have time to eat because I'm so busy...
Eric: Don't eat. Go shoot [your fake drama-in-drama] Assassin. Han Ye-seul, Fighting!
Kang-woo: Eat well too, Eric sunbae-nim. I'll follow you. Especially because you look like me.

Hyomin reacts to her movie being rated 19+

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

T-ara’s Hyomin showed disappointment that the movie “Parasitic Child” in which she acted was rated R.

Media Preview via. Press Conference for the movie “Parasistic Child” was held in Lotte Cinema Avenuel (Seoul) on July 27 2:00 p.m.

Hyomin said, “The movie was rated R because of the scene where the child gets murdered. It was actually supposed to be made for teenagers above 15-year-old as well, so we had deleted several brutal scenes and bad scenes. If we knew that this would happen, we would have let it contain more brutal scenes.”

Park Sung Min, who also acted in the movie, revealed a behind-the-scene story, saying, “I’m upset about it, too. I actually even suggested at the beginning to the director that I act as a pervert.”

Hyomin added, “I am grateful for the chance that I was given to act in a horror movie for the first time.”

“Parasitic Child” tells a story of one soul of a child murdered long ago possessing somebody else’s body to cause terrible murders. It features T-ara’s Hyomin, Han Eun Jung, Park Sun Min, No Min Woo, Lee Hyeong Seok, and Hwang Ji Hyeon. It is to be released on August 4.
