Lee Min Ho is friendlier than Jerry Yan?

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Xiao Xian's straight-forwardness made the battle between Jerry Yan and Lee Min Ho reach its climax! At yesterday's press conference for the Korean version of Meteor Garden, host Xiao Xian stated, "I'm currently filming a drama with Jerry Yan. I feel that you (Lee Min Ho) are much friendlier than he is," which made staff members at the event feel a cold shiver. When Xiao Xian asked Lee Min Ho, who has teeth as white as Jerry's, to "give a smile", Lee Min Ho's face turned green. He smiled embarrassingly and laughed lightly.

Lead actor Lee Min Ho and lead actress Koo Hye Sun from the popular Boys Over Flowers, has finally come to visit Taiwan. More than a hundred fans waited overnight at the airport to greet them. When they both appeared, slight disruptions were caused at the airport. At the press conference, whenever they smiled or said simple Chinese phrases like, "I like Taiwan very much" or "I hope I can come to Taiwan more often", fans would scream non-stop.



Inevitably, regardless of Lee Min Ho's appearance, attractiveness, or the way he talks, he is compared to Jerry Yan. When Lee Min Ho, who is 10 years younger than Jerry Yan, was asked with sharp questions, he showed no tint of inexperience. He expressed that whether it is his skin color, hair, or his double-eyelids, he agreed that he does show resemblance to Jerry Yan. He feels honored to be said that he looks like Jerry Yan and hopes that he can meet him in the future.

But no star wants to be a "bootleg version". Host Xiao Xian ignited some flames twice. Not only were journalists in cold sweat, even fans expressed disapproval. The attendees constantly shouted, "They don't look alike," and "Lee Min Ho is better looking."

Lee Min Ho sincerely admitted that he didn't watch much of Taiwan's Meteor Garden as he was afraid of affecting his performance. Koo Hye Sun expressed that although the Korean version originated from the Manga, there were some big changes made to the storyline, including how the leading characters were high school students, or how she was a national swimming champion, etc. Lee Min Ho's conch hairstyle has become a huge hit in Korea. He smiled and said that he cannot understand why because he feels that the hairstyle looks very much like an "old Aunt". However, he won the lead role because he proactively went to get his hair permed.

During the filming of Boys Over Flowers love rumors were spread between Lee Min Ho and Koo Hye Sun. At yesterday's conference, they avoided in giving a detailed answer and emphasized that it is because the drama got very popular, thus, love rumors were spread. Lee Min Ho, who had to go against his mother in the drama to love Koo Hye Sun, stated that if he loves a girl that his family does not approve of, he would elope with her. On he other hand, Koo Hye Sun expressed that if her family cannot approve of her love relationship, she would choose to give up.

Yeah, usually when you turn green it means you're envious over here.

I think it would be funny to see matsujun and minho stand next to each other irl though.

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

I think Jerry Yan is hotter, although he's cold.. But the fact that Lee Minho smiles too much sort of creeps me, lol idk why.

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

Wtf am i saying. Lee Minho is friendlier but Jerry Yan is hotter.

omona is srsly becoming the best source for korean entertainment

[teukchul.livejournal.com]

not being biased..but i would agree with this one

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

which made staff members at the event feel a cold shiver

LOL TRANSLATION. I see what is going on.

And srsly? Jerry Yan isn't the friendliest person around anyway. He's known to be a cold, standoffish kind of person off set.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

When ever I read that people think someone is cold and stand-offish I always check to see if they were born in January. His birthday says January 1st idk if it's right or not. ppl always perceive us as January bbz cold before they know us :( Me, Jaejoong, and Jerry. It's a hard-knock life fo us.

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

& Ken Zhu is a jealous hater. He's irrelevant now lol.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

Yeah lol he's bitter XD

[ari-meh.livejournal.com]

He smiled and said that he cannot understand why because he feels that the hairstyle looks very much like an "old Aunt"

HE GOT IT RIGHT.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Why do ajummas always have that hair though... idgi.

[paladinfever.livejournal.com]

minho is way too cute! well, I feel bad for jerry, they just can't compare both of them. it's a different thing altogether. well, i wonder how matsujun will feels,if he stand side by side with minho. lol

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

idk someone should do something in photoshop.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

HUAAHH
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO POP OUT HOLYSHIZZ. I knew there would be some frenzy regarding Min Ho in Taiwan 'cause he does resemble Jerry in some ways, and because he's the Korean version of DMS. Glad Xiao Xian brought it up.

But what more if the rest of F4 came.
UGH.


I know this is far-fetched but I need to see them do an interview together.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

There should be a show where all actors from all the versions come together :P It would be so epik.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

Can someone kindly please explain

"I'm currently filming a drama with Jerry Yan. I feel that you (Lee Min Ho) are much friendlier than he is," which made staff members at the event feel a cold shiver.
and

Not only were journalists in cold sweat, even fans expressed disapproval. ?

Sorry I'm quite slow today. And I don't get what it's supposed to mean. :(

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

People are uncomfortable with the interviewers questions because they think it's kinda rude and a sensitive area.

[ducknesseyes.livejournal.com]

"Lee Min Ho, [...] stated that if he loves a girl that his family does not approve of, he would elope with her."

WHERE ARE YOU I'VE ALREADY PACKED MY BAGS D:

-

and geez, the host is just dumb. there is NO comparison between both guys. though of course, minho ftw.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

I dont get why they spend so much time comparing the guys when they havent said shit about the lead girls.

[rencode.livejournal.com]

NO. The aftermath would cause the Earth to implode. Dx

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

LMH wins. because he's the cutest. :P

[cynicalsnark.livejournal.com]

I feel stupid because when it said "his face turned green" I thought of Vulcans. D8

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

but jerry's smile is so sweet~

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone could ever resist his dimples. <3

[amorspesfides.livejournal.com]

This was the exact sentence so Imma gonna try to translate it nao:

昨韓版「流星花園」記者會上，身為主持人的小嫻一句「我正在跟言承旭拍戲，感覺你 (李敏鎬)的親和力比他好得多」，讓場邊八大工作人員全部倒抽一口冷氣，而當小嫻要求與言承旭一樣牙齒都很白的李敏鎬「笑一個」時，換李敏鎬臉綠，「呵呵」乾笑兩聲，難掩尷尬。

During the press conference for the Korean version of "Meteor Garden"*, host Xiao Xian's words,"I'm filming with Jerry Yan now, and I feel that you (Lee Min Ho) are more friendlier than him." made staff members feel awkward instead. And when Xiao Xian requested Lee Min Ho, who has teeth as white as Jerry Yan, to give a smile, it was now Lee Min Ho's turn to turn pale green. He gave a dry chuckle and his discomfort was visible.

From what I gather, the "green" actually meant he turned pale green (ie a bit sick and uncomfortable) and cold shiver = awkward atmosphere (ie with crows and huge "..." all over)

*Meteor Garden = crap Chinese name of Hanayori Dango/BOF It's got nothing to do with stars wtf

Hope it helps all those who are boggled by Chinese to English translations lulz

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Thanks bb. It makes more sense now.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

YAY
THANK U BB

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

*to amorspesfides

[amorspesfides.livejournal.com]

Lulz I know it's old and all, but it's COMPARISON TIME BITCHES



and since I'm watching BOF currently (lulz slow, still stuck at ep 11), I may be biased.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

I think all of them did great, they all had their own unique approach to the character.

Though I've only seen the 1st episode of HYD. I can't continue 'cause I don't like the low quality videos of my soju
-_-

And they should've chosen a better picture of Rainie in that thingerr. Haha

[schizofragile.livejournal.com]

Minho is better in all ways. That is all. 8D/

[bluenotepads.livejournal.com]

TRUFAX BB.

OT

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

YOU KNOW WHAT, I WANT TO KNOW WHEN THE TAIWANESE "SKIP BEAT" DRAMA IS COMING OUT. WTF NOAW PLZ.

Re: OT

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

p.s Jerry Yan is supposed to play male lead, so this comment isn't completely random. lol

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

LOL i see that comparisons will not stop.

and hmm, actually i think jerry yan is not as standoffish as people have put it? 'cause when i see the behind-the-scenes for a particular tw drama he was being a dork with xiaozhu and wuzun. LOL.

lee minho is so cute with his constant :D :D :D

[chrissypoop.livejournal.com]

WHO IS XIAO XIAN!?

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

It must be one of the interviewers.

[chrissypoop.livejournal.com]

anw although it's controversial as to if leeminho or jerry yan is hotter, it's universal that kimbum is hotter than ken zhu. so ken zhu shld really do some self-reflection and stop spouting all these jealous crap!

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

hahaha srsly.
