Han Ji Min Confirmed to Act Alongside Hyun Bin in “Hyde, Jekyll, I”

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

Actress Han Ji Min has accepted the offer to act alongside Hyun Bin in the upcoming drama, “Hyde, Jekyll, I.”

Following reports of the actress considering the role, news confirming her casting were released on October 17. She will be acting the female lead role, and this will mark her return to the small screen after a three-year break, her last drama being the popular “Rooftop Prince” in 2012.

Planned to be 20 episodes, “Hyde, Jekyll, I” is a romantic comedy that depicts the love triangle between a man with two contrasting personalities (Hyun Bin) and his lover (Han Ji Min). Hyun Bin will portray both the cold and harsh Jekyll and the sweet gentleman Hyde.

“Hyde, Jekyll, I” will mark the stars’ reunion after co-starring in the historical film, “The Fatal Encounter,” that premiered earlier this year.

The drama is expected to premiere in January on SBS.

YG lists the pros to CL's American debut

[theemii.livejournal.com]

Article: 'Looks, language, vocals...' CL with the pros, YG on CL's American advancement

Source: TV Report via Naver

Reps, "First of all, there are a lot of pros. CL can both sing and rap. More than anything, there is a scarcity of female rappers in the American music scene. Despite CL being from a girl group, she has a tough and powerful image. She also has an Asian face and is capable of infinite transformations. She can speak four languages (English, Japanese, French, Korean) so there are no restrictions to her expressions in both thought and on the stage.

CL's debut is being made possible by their request and we hope that people think positively of her attempt instead of the results. CL will be our second advancement in America following Psy. We're all curious as to what kind of reaction the American public will give to CL's uniqueness."

1. [+1,270, -209] Please don't act like CL's face represents Asians


2. [+968, -93] Don't misunderstand, while foreigners also think the Asians we think are pretty, they also consider faces like Park Jung Hyun, Mulan, or Pocahontas to have their own exotic beauty in the features... and in a market where even black female MCs have difficulty breaking in, I think it's amazing that CL's even trying.

3. [+939, -163] Her looks......?????????

4. [+601, -279] She does have an interesting look that I think will interest Americans. She looks like Mulan. They'll probably like her for looking exotic if she dyed her hair black too.

5. [+220, -25] I think beauty standards are pretty universal ㅋㅋㅋ If Korea doesn't think she's pretty, she probably won't be considered pretty in America ㅋㅋ

6. [+151, -10] In the end, it's the song that's important. She'll do well if her song does well. If she puts out a song like 'Bad Gizibe' and goes around rapping swag, then yeah I don't think she'll break into the top 100 even.

7. [+145, -17] I've lived in America for 20 years so I know that a face with strong features like CL will definitely not be a problem here... However, I will also say that CL's English is not fluent at all. Not even close to fluent. Americans don't like Asians who aren't fluent, unlike Koreans who think foreigners who aren't fluent in Korean to be cute. CL will most likely be looked down on... She should just study English for 2-3 years before advancing.

8. [+95, -12] Korea keeps saying that Asian faces with monolids and high cheekbones are popular... but it's not true at all... Americans just like pretty Asians, the standards are all the same..

Apparent suicide after deadly South Korea concert collapse accident

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

A day after 16 died in an accident at a concert in South Korea, a man responsible for safety measures was found also dead, the country's semi-official news agency reported. It was an apparent suicide.

On Friday, a ventilation grate gave way, and more than two dozen people standing on it plunged some 20 meters (66 feet) -- or four stories -- into an underground parking structure below, a government accident response task force said.

In addition to the deaths, eleven people were injured, three seriously.
