♥ Yoo In Na confirms that she is dating Ji Hyun Woo ♥

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

After making headlines for over a week following Ji Hyun Woo‘s public confession, and a suspicious stroll through the park together, actress Yoo In Na finally admitted that she and Ji Hyun Woo have started dating.

On June 18th, Yoo In Na opened up her radio program KBS COOL FM ‘Yoon In Na’s Volume Up‘ by stating, “There is something I would like to say on ‘Volume’ today.”

“I knew that this would obviously affect my work, so I was extremely cautious,” she began. “Before thinking about the end result, I asked myself if this was the kind of love that I could attempt. If I wasn’t completely confident, then my work would have been that much harder, but I found that confidence.”

“I agonized over this for about ten days, and we decided to simply and purely respond to our hearts,” she continued. “Two days ago, I called Ji Hyun Woo who calmly waited for me through a very anxious situation, and while we were walking in the park, we decided that he will stop being ‘In Hyun’s Man’ and instead, start being ‘Yoo In Na’s Man’.”

Yoo In Na cautiously admitted their relationship and added, “I like him, I am confident. He gave me that confidence. I want to be in a beautiful relationship, more than anyone else.”

Congratulations to Yoo In Na & Ji Hyun Woo!

Flawless Ageless Beauty Sandara Park's Movies in the Philippines To Be Shown in South Korea

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

Fans would be able to see girl group 2NE1 member, Sandara Park's acting prowess in movies that she made eight years ago.

Sandara Park's movies "Because Of You (2004)," "Can This Be Love (2005)," and "The Lucky Ones (2006)" would be released in local theaters through Home Choice and SK Broadband, this coming June 27th.

Before Sandara Park debuted in 2NE1 in Korea, she was a highly popular idol in the Philippines. During that time, Sandara Park starred in several popular romantic-comedy films.

In the movies, one can see that Sandara Park emits a different kind of charm as an actress. She radiates an innocent and wide-eyed look in the movies, which is different from her fierce image in 2NE1 right now. Although the movies were shot six to eight years ago, Sandara Park's ageless beauty and fresh charm is still very apparent. A youthful Sandara Park can be seen acting out characters in films that are inspired by first loves.

The movies, "Because Of You" and "Can This Be Love" tells stories about first loves, and contains a kissing scene. Sandara Park's fresh acting is already being expected by the fans in Korea who are looking forward to seeing her movies.

Sandara Park debuted in Korean households through a KBS documentary in 2005, showing the hardships that she endured while she was an idol in the Philippines. News of a Korean making it big as a celebrity in a foreign country became a big surprise to fans.

Netizens who saw still cuts from Sandara Park's movies eight years ago commented with, "Your good looks are the same," " I can't wait to see her movies!" "Expecting it a lot already" "Who is this guy kissing Sandara Park?" "There's a kissing scene?! Daebak" "Sandara looks younger now than from eight years ago. Must be the make up," "Looking forward a lot to see Dara's acting!" "I hope to see her in a Korean movie in the future!" "Excited for her movies!" "It's really amazing to think that no matter how I know that this picture was taken 8 years ago, she still looks the same," "Why are her movies suddenly being released in Korea?" "Sandara Park naturally looks beautiful," "When will fans see her star in a Korean movie?" showing various reactions, making it a hot topic.

'Five Fingers' Crew: Joo Ji Hoon Is "The Right Person"

[asth77.livejournal.com]

Despite his dark past, actor Joo Ji Hoon was officially confirmed in his national television comeback with his role in the upcoming SBS special 'Five Fingers', scheduled to air in August.

According to one official working with the drama, his casting was confirmed following a negotiation between the station, production company and the actor. From the beginning, the director, writer and the rest of the production crew all strongly requested for a meeting with Joo Ji Hoon, "leading us to trust their judgment that he was the right person for the lead," said the official.

The path leading up to this major role, however, has not been a smooth one for Joo Ji Hoon. His 2009 scandal involving ecstasy possession cast a large shadow over his career; however, the crew for the drama ultimately made the decision to cast him regardless after lengthy conversations about the actor, marking a comeback that has been in the making for five years since the 2007 KBS drama 'The Devil'.


An official with KeyEast also said that "the decision to cast Joo Ji Hoon is ultimately the right call", adding that "Mr. Joo is deeply regretful for his past actions; his journey to a comeback in drama was not easy. Most important in this process was the actor's own will. In the end, our faith in the drama as a work and the faith in the production crew led to the careful decision to cast him. We are confident that he will prove us right."

The drama 'Five Fingers', meanwhile, is a collaboration between 'A Gentleman's Dignity' and 'OB and GYN Doctors" PD Choi Young Hoon and 'Temptation of Wife' and 'Smile, Mom' writer Kim Soon Ok. Joo Ji Hoon is set to play a prodigal pianist with a tragic family history. The rest of the casting process is currently underway and is set to begin airing in August.

Joo Ji Hoon's drama comeback follows closely behind the upcoming opening of 'I Am A King', which he was cast in after being discharged from the army last November.

Having just released their mini album a mere few days ago, the four members of rookie group 4K, consisting of Cory, Seokjun, SungOh and Kisu, are the first group to make their debut under Cho Eun Entertainment.

The boys of 4K were dressed down in their training clothes having just attended a dance lesson an hour before the scheduled interview. The interview was conducted simply in the practice room, starting with the filming of the intro video. Their live rendition of their title track, ‘Rocking Girl’ was sang with passion and oozed of youthfulness. Their vocals were a blend of sweet and husky, with the members harmonizing perfectly together. This group was no doubt ready to conquer the Korean entertainment industry.
