Unnie looks so luminous and pretty. I want braces too, hahahaha.
Yeo Woon-Kye dies after battling cancer.
It was such a sad week for Korean showbiz. On May 22, a famous veteran actress passed away after battling cancer for two years. Her name is Yeo Woon-kye. She was 69 years old.
You might remember her in famous dramas such as Jewel in the Palace/Dae Jang Geum, My Name is Kim Samsoon, Money War, et cetera.
Here are some pics from her funeral.

It was such a sad weekend.
Omo. Was I sooo late. I just saw the commercial on 5/13/09, hahaha. anyways, I’m sooo happy to see Ms. Go has another endorsement under her belt. And it’s a company that promotes healthier environment. Chukhahamnida, Ms. Go.
PS.
The cf was made in February. Waaahh, it’s been sa long time. where have I been? Hahahha.
Hugreen CF
Kumho Petrochemical is launching the Hugreen brand, which the company says will manufacture premium, environmentally friendly construction materials.
The company, an affiliate of Kumho Asiana Group, has been setting standards with eco-friendly products since 2006. With the new brand, the company is hoping to extend its “green'’ philosophy to other areas such as design, functions and material reprocessing.
The company also hired a top actress to buttress its image among women in their 30s.
Ko Hyun-jung, who became a star with the television series “Sandglass'’ in the 1980s, re-launched her career recently after more than 10 years of retirement following her marriage.
The company ad starring Ko shows a baby sleeping comfortably on the floor of an apartment, with Koh introducing the brand in front of windows.
The company says its philosophy is “Environment Goes Before Business.'’
“This means our products aim to make living environments for humans in harmony with their surroundings,'’ the company said, explaining that its brand, Hugreen, is a combination of human and green.
What else can I say? She’s released these gorgeous and funny pics, I just can’t help but post and share it.
The first set is from her commercial film, Max Beer.
The other and the most recent is from Donga site. I’m not particularly sure if it’s for a news story or magazine article. But for sure, aylabset!

OMO, Omo, omo. Cute, pretty, lovely, sexshii unnie. If I were a boy, I would have drooled here and now, hahaha. But since I’m a girl, I’m just so plain envious.
Pretty unnie, fighting.
Next, I’ll be posting pics from her drama poster shoot. And some updates with my beautiful unnie, Go Hyun Jung and her new drama, Queen Seondeok.
Till next!
On April 16, 2009, the anticipated drama of the year (at least on my part) held it’s presscon in the Hyatt Regency Incheon Hotel for the project’s kick start.
The City Hall (I first thought the word “the” is not included in the title), which will premiere in a few days time, on April 29 to be exact, was introduced to the press. Its stars graced the afternoon meet, alongside the director and the writer.
This is the much awaited return of Cha Seung-Won in drama after being seen mostly in the silverscreen, and Kim Sun-Ah’s next project after When It’s at Night (I loved it, even though others don’t).
Here are (tons of) pics from the presscon. Enjoy!

Sun Ah unnie looked so gorgeous. Love her new bod.
City Hall, Fighting!!
At last, shooting has begun. And what a start. The previews are sooo funny, it gets us all excited.
Sun Ah sure did lose a lot of weight. Waaahh, I wish I have her discipline. All because of her photoshoot for Allure mag and her role for City Hall. And of course, you wanna see her, don’t you? Here are some photos from the allure site.
Yeah, bring it on!
And of course, new pics from City Hall. Yey!

No poster pics yet, aigoo. And their presscon hasn’t been held.
But here’s a funny gif. Makes us wanna crave for more, hahaha.

Anyway, Sun Ah unnie, fighting!
Yey! Sun-ah is sooo busy nowadays, and her fans are the same. Thank goodness the admirers have generous hearts and they keep on updating the overseas fans posted.
First off, Sun-ah graduated from college. Chukhahamnida, unnie.
Kim Sun-Ah, on February 18, graduated in Kyung Hee University with a degree in theatre-studies (????). She started her studying again (she once attended Ball University, major in piano in Indiana, but unfortunately, she wanted to concentrate more in her career so she didn’t finish) after My Name is Kim Samsoon’s wrap. And after three years, she’s finally done it. How wonderful. I’m so proud of Sun-ah.
Here are pics from her graduation (courtesy of Suna-adiks in Soompi)
And she’s done a new CF.
Here’s where you can DL the commercial:

And some pics:
And the new issue for Cosmopolitan Magazine is out. Sun-ah with bestfriends Chae Rim and Kim Won-Hee acted as editors for Cosmo Korea and they shared their input for the March issue.
Some pics:
And I can’t wait for the shoot of “City Hall,” and “After the Wedding Banquet.”
Sun-Ah unnie, Fighting!!!
Well, let’s start with the sunbae first, hehe.
What’s new with Ms. Go? Well, she guested in Golden Fishery. It was hilarious, I’m sure. I watched it and although I have no idea what they were talking about, just watching their expression and how loud Ms. Go laughs made me go LOL too. I’m still waiting for the subs (who isn’t?).
Anyway, here are some stills from the program.
And here’s where you can watch it in youtube.

And here is a news article about her guesting. But don’t take notice of the Dae-mul thingy in the bottom of the article. We all know that the said drama has been scrapped. Still waiting for Queen Seon-deok!
And she also did a spread with Vogue Korea. Here are the pics from the mag. (thanks to joyan)
The article tells about some stories about her marriage, the divorce, her movie, and her first time doing a photoshoot for a magazine. She even apologized that she didn’t love her husband in the past, that she was a bit immature. Well, okay. If that’s how it was, then so be it.
And did you know that Ms. Go has her own managing company? The name is Hook Entertainment, but unfortunately, I can’t seem to find it in the net. Oh well, at least now I have the answer to my question from before. I was wondering who manages Ms. Go’s career. So it was just her all along, or maybe just after her hiatus (you know, the marriage then the divorce phase of her life).
Anyway, one of the company’s prodigy is Lee Seung Ki. He’s a talented young singer and is reported to be managed by Ms. Go herself. She even makes him tag along with her in some entertainment event. (see pics below)
Lee Seung-Ki, Go Hyun-jung and Ji Jin-Hee in the 2006 Seoul Collection fashion show, 29/4.
And why am I mentioning LSK? Well, because he has an upcoming CF with Kim Sun-ah!!! Weeee. A video has been released (unauthorized?) of LSK and KSA rehearsing a dance move for the CF. Can’t wait.
And that’s the segue for the lovely Sun-ah news.
Sun-ah has a new drama!!! Omo, omo, omo. This is sooo exciting.
The new drama is entitled “City Hall.” It’s the story of an ambitious girl who started out as a low-ranking employee but with hard work and everything else that comes along reaching your dreams, she became the mayor. And of course, if KSA is in the drama, expect a lot of comedy, sexy and dramatic scenes to be abundant. And I still can’t get over “When It’s at Night” yet.
In previous reports, it was said that Ryu Shi-Won is going to be Sun-ah’s leading man, but recent news said that he has backed out from the project. The reason stated was that he doesn’t like the plot of the drama. That’s worrisome. I hope the script is not rubbish. Anyway, the director/writer tandem has done Lover’s in Paris, which is okay for me. So I hope everything will work out just fine.
I want an actor who is gorgeous and eye-candy to match Sun-Ah’s bewitching presence, hehe. RSW doesn’t fit that description, hahaha.
And it’s also reported that Sun-ah will be working once again with the director of “My Name is Kim Samsoon,” PD Kim Yoon chul. It’s entitled “After the Wedding Banquet” and it’s going to be a collaboration of Korean and Japanese directors and writers. It’s a two-part drama and will be shown some time in April.
Wooo, exciteness!
Actually, Sun-ah unnie has been lying low again. Hope she has some big surprises for fans in the near (no, nearest) future.
Anyway, new pics are being circulated in the net, and I want to share them with you. I’m a bit late and I’m sure some of you had the copies already, but still, here they are. Just goes to show how Sunauus adiktus eimich is, puhahaha. 
These are from Kim Sun-ah herself.

Here are the instructions. Thanks to angie of soompi.

And while I was windowshopping in Landmark, I saw these pair of slippers (see pic below). Kyaa, now I want to own a pair, huhuhu. This is Sun-ah’s fault, hahaha.
First it was Crocs Sassari (which is, unfortunately, sooo phased out) and now, this Adilette. Kyaa, unnie, you’re so addicting!
Got these in dramabeans.
Go Hyun-jung to take on her first sageuk
November 19th, 2008 // by javabeans
Go Hyun-jung (What’s Up Fox) is a kdrama veteran, but she’s about to make her sageuk debut only now in MBC’s large-scale sageuk drama Queen Seon-deok. This will mark her television return after her previous series, the cop drama HIT. Queen Seon-dok will be scripted by Kim Young-hyun (Hit, Dae Jang Geum) and Park Sang-yeon (Hit, JSA) and directed by PDs Park Hong-kyun (New Heart) and Kim Geun-hong (Yi San).
Initially, Go Hyun-jung was considered for the part of Queen Seon-deok herself, but is now cast in a different lead role. Her character, “Mi-shil,” is a beautiful court woman who manipulates men to bring herself into a position of power, who becomes one of the prominent heroines of Shilla times, along with the main character, Queen Seon-deok.
The drama will air sometime early next year and plans for 50 episodes, with the first portion of the drama to be filmed in China. With Chae Shi-ra leading another large-scale sageuk with KBS’s Empress Cheon-chu and Jung Ryeo-won taking on the role of Princess Ja-myung for SBS, will 2009 be the year of the strong female ruler? Time will tell.

Yey! After the disappointment in Daemul, now, I have another drama to anticipate for next year. And it’s very intriguing that Ms. Go is going to take on a “provocative” role.
But I’m a bit apprehensive on MBC’s choice for the titular role. Sung Yuri is not good in acting at all. She’s just an average actress for me. I mean, if I were to choose who’s a better actress, aside from my unnies Ms. Go and Suna, I will never, ever would have thought of her. Sorry to fans, but that’s just what I think. Sure, she has a lovely face, but that too can be easily overshadowed by those actresses who have stronger personalities (even if they are not pretty). She’s like a wallflower, for me, ahwehwe. She just blends easily in the crowd, doesn’t stand out. LOLZ.
Anyway, I’m sure Ms. Go is going to eat her alive if she doesn’t behave, acting-wise. I just feel there’s no balance in the combination. But it’s a good thing that Queen Seon-dok is going to concentrate more on Mi-shil, Ms. Go’s character. Yey! Can’t wait.
And sageuk, I’m not really sure what it means. Could it be period drama? Well, I hope that this drama will push through, unlike Daemul. Hmmff.
And “You Don’t Even Know is also going to be shown early next year. Gahhh, the anticipation is getting bigger and bigger, hehe.
Ms. Go, fighting!!!
Jung Jun-ho and Kim Sun-ah advocate for goodwill and cooperation
November 7th, 2008 // by javabeansOn November 7, Jung Jun-ho (The Last Scandal of My Life) and Kim Sun-ah (When Night Comes) were named spokespersons for the Korean headquarters of GCS International in Seoul.
GCS is nongovernmental organization (NGO) recognized as a special consultative body by the United Nations Economic and Social Council, whose name stands for its tenets “goodwill, cooperation, and service and contribution.”
At the same ceremony, the presidency of the Korean branch of GCS was passed from its ninth president to its newest, Song Seok-gu, currently chancellor at Gachon University of Medicine and Science.
From its website:
“GCS International advocates strongly for world peace… GCS actively supports peace movement campaigns and scholarly work on peace…
In order to promote the global village ideal, GCS International actively participates in international friendship and cultural exchange programs. GCS endorses sister-city programs and other exchange programs between GCS clubs and sponsors a Global Youth Leadership Program. Examples of such programs include the World Youth Representative Conference Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the UN, Visits of Korean GCS members to international clubs, and Study Korea Programs for Multi-cultural Youth Leaders from LA.”

Sun Ah unnie was presented an award, again!! Yey. Seems her clean-living is a good testament to a lot of people in Korea that’s why she’s been chosen.
By the way, she was awarded with the tribute alongside Jung Joon Ho (Princess Lulu, Last Scandal of my Life). Ooh, they look good together. (Wish)
Anyway, here are pics from the awards ceremony.
Aigoo, I miss Sunny.
Sunny, fighting!!
I read a few days ago that there were Korean articles about My Name is Kim Sam Soon being adapted in the US. And being an idiot in hangeul, I didn’t understand what the articles said. All I know is that NBC is going to make an adaptation.
Good thing I came across an english explanation of some Korean article. Please read on.

U.S. remaking My Name Is Kim Sam-soon
November 5th, 2008 // by javabeans
My Name Is Kim Sam-soon (aka My Lovely Sam-soon), the super-popular 2005 drama that made Kim Sun-ah and Hyun Bin into household names, is being given the Hollywood treatment and remade as a U.S. television series. Hopefully Sam-soon will meet with better success as a remake than other Hollywoodified versions like My Sassy Girl and Il Mare (as The Lake House).
NBC will be producing the series as a prime-time drama, casting has been completed, with the script is in the revision process. Production is scheduled to begin early next year.
A few notes on the U.S. television process: just because a drama has entered production does NOT mean, as it does in Korea, that it will definitely air. The pilot will need to be shot, after which point the network can decide whether or not to order more episodes. If it dies in that stage, we’ll never see it, and if it proceeds, it will usually be given an initial 13-episode order, or half a season. (If the ratings are good, the back 9 episodes will usually be ordered to finish out the season. If ratings are bad, the series may be canceled at any point, whether or not all the produced episodes have been aired. There’s always a small chance that the drama will be picked up to series but canceled before any episodes air.)
Also, I actually heard about this a few months ago (in an unofficial capacity), and if the people involved in this remake are who I think they are, there’s a chance this series may turn out decently well. Also, considering that Samsoon was compared a lot to Bridget Jones’s Diary, the inherent premise of the series is one that translates well to Western audiences.
Via Break News
Omo, I had mixed emotions about this news. At first, I was happy that MNIKSS is given this much attention. I’m sure it’s because of the uniqueness of the story and it’s huge success in most Asian countries. And off course, because of the superb acting of the cast.
But then, I felt a bit of foreboding because US-made adaptations or remakes have poor results. They either do away from the original storyline and they mix the plot with the Western culture or they completely change a huge part of the story.
Aigoo, I don’t want MNIKSS to be butchered. I have a lot of lovely memories about this particular drama. As I mentioned before, this is myn all-time favorite. This is the pinnacle (for me) of the Korean dramas that swept everyone. And this is where I watched Kim Sun ah for the first time.
I wish they (NBC) wouldn’t slaughter this drama. I hope the cast (which isn’t released yet) be at par with Sam Soon and Sam Shik. I hope they wouldn’t taint my memories of this drama.
Here’s hoping that everything goes well. I’m anxiously awaiting the pilot next year.
Let me add this pretty pic of Sam Soon.
Sunny, fighting!!
Sun Ah unnie is being visible recently. First, the Rain comeback show; second, her SK commercial; then her tax awarding. And now, she attended another movie premiere. (Ooh, I wish it was her movie)
She went to the premiere of Miindo (or Portrait of a Beauty as the international title) with Shinee/Shin Yi. Shin Yi is a great comedian (I think). I’ve seen her in Daddy Long Legs and other movies (I forgot most of them, ahehehe). I didn’t know she is chummy with Sunny. Just look at the way she gazes at Sunny unnie, as if she herself is star struck.
Anyway, here are pics from the premiere.
Portrait of a Beauty also has a television counterpart that’s being aired by KBS. The title is Painter of the Wind, and it stars Moon Geun Young (My Little Bride, Innocent Steps) and Park Shin Yang (Lovers in Paris, War of Money).
Aigoo, when will Sunny start a new movie? Or drama? Or even a variety show (where she will dance every week, ahehe)?
Sunny, fighting!!
