Moon Hee Jun is strongly against celebrities revealing their date on broadcast.

When Kim Ye Rim guested on QTV’s Pretty Boy Communication on December 3, she shared her thoughts on revealing her dates on broadcast.

“I want to do something that any ordinary girl in her twenties does, such as date,” said Kim Ye Rim. When MCs asked her if she wants to keep her future boyfriend a secret or be open about it, she answered, “Yoon Jong Shin (her label ceo) gave me permission to reveal my future boyfriend.”

Then Moon Hee Jun stepped in to share his opinion on the topic. )

It’s been recently revealed that the model-turned actor, Kim Young Gwang will be enlisting in the army, serving as public service worker.

On December 5, Newsen spoke with Kim Young Gwang’s agency, who stated, “Kim Young Gwang will be enlisting in mid-December and will serve as a public service worker. He has currently completed filming for his upcoming movie, Boil Youth. He won’t able to participate in movie promotions in January, but will do his best in the army.”

According to Korean laws, Kim Young Gwang will be serving as a public service worker as his father was a level 3 man of national merit after serving in the Vietnam War.

The agency staff said, “Kim Young Gwang’s father is a Vietnam War veteran, who passed away due to the aftereffects of the war when Kim Young Gwang was in elementary school. So Kim Young Gwang will be serving as a public service worker for about six months.”

Meanwhile, Kim Young Gwang showed impressive acting in his most recent work, KBS’ Good Doctor. He finished filming for the movie Boil Youth and also made surprise appearance on MBC’s Infinity Challenge for the Milano special.

Not really caring what people say about her, SISTAR’s Hyolyn confidently admitted to getting double eyelid surgery.

On December 4’s broadcast of MBC’s Radio Star, Hyolyn brought up the topic of plastic surgery, which she mentioned during her last visit to the show.

However, Hyolyn said that the episode was edited out to make it seem like she was denying plastic surgery rumors.

“I also went on a different show before Radio Star and truthfully talked about my double eyelid surgery, but even then, it was all edited out,” said Hyolyn. “Now people are saying that I’m admitting it now because there are proof pictures.”

Hyolyn talked about how frustrated she felt when she’s been telling the truth the entire time.

Kyuhyun then joked saying they’ll be editing this conversation out as well.

Consistently giving to those who need aid, Shinhwa’s Kim Dong Wan donated 30 million won to help the victims in the Philippines.

On December 4, UNICEF shared that Kim Dong Wan sent in 30,000,000 won for the Philippines relief fund after one of the worst typhoons in history hit the country.

After hearing about the unfortunate events that occurred in the Philippines, Kim Dong Wan began to search for many ways to help, in the end choosing UNICEF to donate to.

This isn’t the first time the Shinhwa member has donated to help out.

Meanwhile, Kim Dong Wan is currently acting in the musical Le Passe Muraille.

Korean star couple Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon will raise their voices to promote unconventional wedding.

The celebrity couple will appear in EBS’s environmental show “Only One Earth” , which will hit air on Friday 8:50 p.m. KST, the channel said on Thursday.

In the preview of the show, Mr. and Mrs. Lee unveiled their views on wedding ceremony and the reason of their unusual wedding held at a small villa located in the Jeju Island this September.

“Every time I go to a wedding hall, the ceremony ended in half an hour and the couple don’t even know who were there to bless them. I felt that kind of wedding is so vain that I wanted to do it in a different way in the future,” said the K-pop star.

She went on that, “We did everything about the wedding by ourselves, which make the ceremony unforgettable than any others. I hope that kind of ‘free’ wedding would be more popular.”

The husband also agreed, saying that he wanted to be able to talk more with close friends during the wedding.

“I wanted to have a ceremony that did not push the time limit,” he said.

On December 5, 2NE1 appeared as guest on the “Big Star Special Show” segment of SBS Power FM’s “Choi Hwa Jung’s Power Time.”

Korean idol star Lee Joon of group MBLAQ has put off starring in his second-ever movie after his debut movie “Rough Play.”

An official with Lee Joon’s agency J.Tune Camp told TenAsia on Monday that the singer had step off from upcoming Korean movie, tentatively titled “Botox,” due to the delay of its filming which was originally set to last month.

“As we had mentioned preconditions that Lee is scheduled to be back with his music work, we couldn’t do anything about the delayed filming schedule,” said an official at the group’s agency yesterday, according to local media reports.

The official added that Lee Joon is prepping up for a new record of MBLAQ, set to roll out next January, as the follow up to their fifth mini-album “Sexy Beat” released this June.

The 26-year-old star has also received scenarios of renowned directors Ryu Seung-wan’s upcoming film “Veteran” and Lim Sang-soo’s “No Today for Us” (both translated titles), both of which have possibilities of Lee’s next film project.

Opposite to actress Park Jin-hee, Lee was supposed to take on 21-year-old boy named Gun-ni, who falls in love with 42-year-old would-be writer named Young-sook in “Botox.”

Hyorin-One-Way-Love-Feature

As expected, Hyorin’s solo single, “One Way Love,” has taken the top spot on the Gaon chart in its first week out. The SISTAR superstar dethrones last week’s chart-topper, 2NE1′s “Missing You,” which slips one spot to No. 2. The point difference between the two songs is minimal, proving that 2NE1 are actually showing some real staying power with “Missing You” — something that their last two singles didn’t do.

Anyway, with “One Way Love” topping the charts, SISTAR’s total career No. 1s now stands at seven: four as a group, two as soloists, and one as the SISTAR19 subunit.

San E’s “Break Up Dinner” climbs two spots to No. 3, while Hyorin’s other solo single, “Lonely,” debuts at No. 4.

In even better news, VIXX’s “Voodoo Doll” enters the charts at No. 7 to become the group’s first top ten hit and highest-charting single of their career. Their previous best was “G.R.8.U.,” which reached No. 14 back in October. The boys also debut at No. 1 on the album chart with their first full-length album, Voodoo, solidifying their status as one of K-pop’s hottest rising stars right now.

A few spots down, Younha’s “It’s Okay” arrives at No. 9, while miss A’s “Hush” slips to No. 11 after two weeks in the top ten.

2AM’s new single, “Regret,” debuts at No. 18, making it their lowest-charting lead single by a fairly large margin, while Crayon Pop’s “Lonely Christmas” enters at No. 35 to become the group’s third top forty entry after “Bar Bar Bar” and “Dancing Queen 2.0″.

Boom (real name: Lee Min Ho), Andy (Shinhwa), and comedian Yang Sae Hyung have been charged with fines after being investigated for illegal gambling not too long ago.

On November 28, at the Seoul Central District Court, Boom and Andy were charged with fines of 5,000,000 won ($4700). Yang Sae Hyung, who gambled relatively smaller amounts, was charged with a fine of 3,000,000 won ($2800).

These three were not charged with quite as much as Tak Jae Hoon, Lee Soo Geun, or Tony Ahn, who had been investigated at the same time, as they didn’t bet nearly as much money. Andy had gambled around 44,000,000 won ($41,500), Boom 33,000,000 won ($31,000), and Yang Sae Hyung 26,000,000 won ($24,500), and they received the normal gambling fine, which is usually less than 10,000,000 won ($9,400). However, Lee Soo Geun gambled over 1,000,000,000 won ($942,000), and Tak Jae Hoon and Tony Ahn gambled over 400,000,000 won ($377,000), and they were charged with common practice.

On this, each celebrity’s agency said that they haven’t yet received notice from the court, and that they are deeply in self-reflection and regret, but they otherwise didn’t say much.

Tak Jae Hoon, Lee Soo Geun, and Tony Ahn’s first trial will be taking place on December 6 at the Seoul Central District Court.

Jae Hyo, a member of boy group Block B, filed a police report after being sexually harassed by a netizen.

According to a representative of Block B’s agency, Seven Seasons, “Jae Hyo was recently sexually harassed by a netizen through his/her mention of his name on his/her Twitter. The content is at a severe level that it is unrepeatable. Thus, we decided to report the incident to the team exclusively in charge of handling sexual violence at the Seoul Yongsan Police Department.”

The representative added, “The content was so severe, and we had no choice but to report it. The netizen who posted it hacked the ID, and we requested for the police’s help in tracking down the culprit.”

As far as the progress of the investigation, the representative disclosed, “The investigation has just begun. We will be cooperating with the police investigation and will decide what action to take after the investigation is over.”

Underground R&B singer Shin Bo-kyung, better known as Boni, says K-pop's rise has fueled the departure of underground musicians to the trendy music scene in an attempt to earn money and fame easily.

By Park Si-soo

For Shin Bo-kyung, music is her life.

Born to a hair dresser mother, also a music buff, the 27-year-old spent much of her childhood listening to various kinds of music at her mom’s salon with a broken microphone in one hand.

Her inherent musical talent, especially in rhythm and blues (R&B), was recognized in 2006 by now-defunct duo band 015B, which set the stage for Shin to debut that year with the R&B song “Lost My Way for a Bit.” Having released a debut full-length album in 2010, she is currently studying postmodern music at Kyung Hee University.

In a recent interview with The Korea Times, the underground R&B soloist, better known by her stage name Boni, said her wish in life is to work and play with music rooted in the Western gospel tradition. But she said it’s becoming increasingly doubtful whether her wish will come true.

"R&B musicians in Korea are quickly losing their ground. Simply put, Korean R&B is in the darkness" )

Check Out Boni's Music (psssst it's really good) )

Great read! She touches on some of the things we've actually discussed recently on Omona. I'd like to see people respond to her commentary. Anyway, homegirl's got a new fan <3

Apparently this is the second in a three-part series about declining musical diversity in the K-pop scene. I will post the first article later and the final one once it's released.

At 'Prime Minister and I' press conference on December 4th, Yoon Si Yoon talked about his addiction in reading books.

When he was asked,"Yoon Si Yoon is known as a person who reads many books, to prepare for this drama what kind of books have you read?", he answered,"I study about young politicians. But because of the filming schedule so I haven't read much, I usually read during my break time"

He also added,"I love reading, it makes me relax. I think I'm addicted to it. If I don't have anything to read I will feel agitated. So that's why I have a bad eyesight".

His co-actors also impressed with his habit. Ryu Jin said,"Even on filming set he read many books.This is the first time I saw someone like him. He also knows by heart all of his lines in the script. It seems he read the script at least 100 times, he takes notes on every little details"

Chae Jung Ahn said,"If other men are addicted to drinking,smoking and coffee, then Yoon Si Yoon is addicted to reading books"

In addition, "Prime Minister and I" will be aired on December 9th on KBS2.

Recently graduated from Seoul’s Hongik University in her native South Korea, JeeYoung Lee shoots the invisible. Whereas traditional photography submits extracts of reality to our eyes, the artist offers excerpts from her heart, her memory, or her dreams. Restrained by the inherent limits of the conventional photographic medium, she adds plastic creativity and theatrical performance to it, in order to blow life into her immense needs of expression, and interrogation.

For weeks , sometimes months, she creates the fabric of a universe born from her mind within the confines of her 3 x 6 m studio. She does so with infinite minutiae and extraordinary patience, in order to exclude any ulterior photographic alteration. Thus materialised, these worlds turn real and concretise : imagination reverts to the tangible and the photo imagery of such fiction testify as to their reality. In the midst of each of these sets stands the artist : those self-portraits however are never frontal, since it is never her visual aspect she shows, but rather her quest for an identity, her desires and her frame of mind. Her imaginary is a catharsis which allows her to accept social repression and frustrations. The moment required to set the stage gives her time to meditate about the causes of her interior conflicts and hence exorcise them; once experienced, they in turn become portents of hope.

Recipient of multiple artistic awards including the Sovereign Art Prize (2012), JeeYoung Lee is one the the most promising up-and-rising figureheads of the younger Korean artistic world. Her Photographs have already found their way into public collections such as th Kyoto Photographic Museum in Japan, the Incheon Foundation for Art and Culture, or even Seoul’s OCI Museum.
