Why does Kim Joon feel Lonely?

Before his live performance on KBS2TV Music Bank this evening, Kim Joon revealed his frustrations at doing solo promotions. He told reporters during the afternoon rehearsals, "It's very lonely doing solo promotions."

Kim Joon had been doing solo promotions recently with his song, Joon! Be Ok and had received a good response from fans. He added, "It's more tiring than when promoting with T-Max. I have to do everything by myself unlike the past where the workload is shared. I have a bigger burden."

Kim Joon is fast cementing his position as an all-round entertainer. Besides going solo on music shows, Kim Joon is a permanent fixture on Invincible Baseball Team variety show while also doing a musical Youth March. He became an instant box-office draw as ticket sales for the musical went up by 30%, a near sellout, when he performed for the first night (he rotates with another guy). His musical ends on 25th October.

Kim Joon said, "You need a lot of preparation before you act in a musical but I didn't. So it might look like I am lacking in a lot of areas. But I am giving it my best shot for the musical. I am also very happy for the support that my fans are giving me."

Kim Joon's Fans Prepare to be Heartbroken

Yes you read that right. Hearts will break when the next episode of Mnet Scandal is aired because T-Max and Boys Over Flowers F4 member Kim Joon is going to be on the show. Now for all you guys who haven't seen Mnet Scandal before this is what's basically going to happen:

a. Kim Joon is going to be on a date with a non-celebrity (fake date that is)
b. They'd do things a normal couple would do like dine out, text, go to a theme park etc.
c. The girl gets to be Kim Joon's girlfriend (how lucky!)

With that, I know many fangirls would would cry their hearts out because of jealousy. But that's what the show is aiming. And here are some comments from the netizens:

• “If my comment becomes a best-voted comment here, Mnet will be demolished” [This comment did went up to the best-voted comment]
• “Ahh really, let’s make this programme disappear please”
• “Looks like fun, even though you curse about this, you have to admit the programme is fun to watch”
• “I hope Mnet Scandal dies”
• “I was relieved for a while that the whole OneDay was not on the show and suddenly Kim Joon appears! AHH”
• “He’s so pretty ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ”

And some photos taken from the show:

Oh! The girl is pretty and they look cute together. But to all the fans out there don't feel bad...It isn't real anyway. Let's just wait and anticipate what would happen.^^

BOA in Cosmo Girl

Five Questions with BoA
The Korean pop star dishes about the best relationship advice she’s ever gotten, her celeb crush and more!

WHAT’S IT LIKE BEING A POP STAR/FAMOUS IN KOREA?
“Well, I definitely feel a difference when I’m here in the States and when I’m back home. It’s a difficult lifestyle and a lot more guarded. That’s why it’s cool to be in L.A. and walk around wherever I want.”

HOW DO YOU LIKE THE UNITED STATES SO FAR?
“Well so far I still haven’t been all over America but I’ve gone to several cities since I moved here for radio promos. I live in L.A. and I kind of enjoy it. But I have to say that I really, really love New York City. Because it feels like my home.”

WHAT AMERICAN ARTISTS OR MUSICIANS DO YOU ASPIRE TO BE LIKE OR LOOK UP TO?
“There’s so many great artists out there like Kanye, T-Pain, Lady Gaga. So I used to really, really love Michael Jackson so my dance moves came from his moves. But these days I’m more focused on pop. To learn more about the American music industry.”

WHAT IS THE BEST RELATIONSHIP ADVICE YOU’VE EVER GOTTEN?
“Be honest. Honesty is the most important part in a relationship because it builds trust, which is just as essential.”

WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH?
“The actor from The Hangover. Also in He’s Just Not That into You. [It's Bradley Cooper]

2PM's Rising Popularity

2PM is getting popular everyday and they are not only loved by their fans around the world even celebs are obsessed with these guys. Well who wouldn't right? With those perfect figures and pretty boy faces plus their dorky but still lovable personalities, even a man would be obsessed.
See what stars like Lee Hyori, Solbi, and Chaeyeon have been saying about the current darlings of k-pop:

“2PM is the general trend now. I am obsessed with them these days.”
-Singer Lee Hyori on MBC Come to Play

“Before HaHa, who’s in the army right now, comes back, I want to go on a secret date with 2PM’s Jaebeom.”
-Broadcaster Ahn Hye Kyung on MBC Come to Play

“Singer Lee Soo Young is currently obsessed with 2PM, so whenever they come on TV, she goes up and touches the screen.”
-Comedian Park Kyung Lim on KBS Happy Together

“Whenever I see 2PM these days, my heart momentarily shakes.”
-Singer Chaeyeon on KBS Star Golden Bell

“When I think about their looks, I like 2PM’s Nichkhun.”
-Singer Yoona of Girls' Generation/SNSD on KBS Champagne

“2PM’s Nichkhun is the first celebrity I went up to first and begged to take a picture together.”
-Singer Solbi on Mnet Ice Princess

“If 2PM’s Nichkhun asks me to marry him, I would say yes right away.”
-Announcer Park Eun Young on KBS YuhyoomanmanWhen asked what they attribute their popularity to, leader Jaebeom answered, "We have no typical style like other idol groups, and I think we appeal to fans by not worrying about our individual images and just playing, talking, and dancing as we feel like it on stage. It seems like our fans call us ‘animal idols’ because of our barbaric personalities."

Fellow member Junsu replied, "I think there are a lot of fans who like us for directly saying things and just saying everything we want to say on shows." Thailand-American member Nichkhun added, "I feel like that’s why the fans think we're sexier."

Kim Hyun Joong Thinks among the F4 Kim Bum is the Prettiest Boy

On a recent broadcast of MBC Good Day, SS501 leader and Boys Over Flowers star Kim Hyun Joong picked cutie pie Kim Bum as his choice for "Best Pretty Boy in F4."
He explains, "Pretty boy refers to one who has more of a feminine side than a masculine side. I can’t say that I am one." He then jokingly adds, "I'm a pretty boy all the time when I put on makeup.”

He must be kidding.^^ Personally I think, among the F4, Hyun Joong is the prettiest boy. Seriously. But at least he is praising his co-star.

First still shots from My Fair Lady

We’ve seen the promotional photos (and Yoon Eun-hye’s character photos) for KBS’s new drama My Fair Lady [aka Please Take Care of the Young Lady, 아가씨를 부탁해]. Now the production has released the first set of still shots from the drama’s first day of filming; the show’s inaugural shoot took place on July 24 in Ilsan (Kyunggi province) and Seoul.

In these scenes, Yoon’s character is ordered to do community service. (I’m just speculating, but perhaps as punishment for rich-bish bad behavior? I wonder if this has something to do with how she meets Jung Il-woo’s human-rights lawyer character.) Therefore, she ends up at a children’s day-care center, looking after kids and cleaning out a chicken coop. Her character is an arrogant and difficult “princess” type from a rich family.

Yoon Sang-hyun, on the other hand, used to work at a nightclub, is poor, and comes to be Yoon’s household manager/butler.

My Fair Lady premieres August 19.

The other photos:

She looks so chic here^

2NE1 on Entertainment Live

Entertainment Live is like a Philippine version of E! and yesterday they featured 2NE1. I think the interview was conducted when 2ne1 made their comeback stage on SBS Inkigayo. Though I'm from the Philippines, I'm so frustrated I didn't get to watch it because I have a class! But then again its still a huge thanks that 2NE1PH uploaded the video. So to all you guys who haven't seen the video here it is:



Yes that's it. Did you see the wave they did when they said we love you all? Well that's one of Sandara's trademarks here in the Philippines. Pinoys loved her because of that cute wave while saying 'Mahal ko kayo'[I love you all]. So the interview mainly focused on Sandara and what she misses here in the Philippines. But it was really good to hear CL, Bom and Minzy's voices. And did you see how shy maknae Minzy was when she said 'Ako Minji'[I Minji]. And before I forget Dara said that they would like to perform here in the Philippines, my my let's keep our fingers crossed that they would come here and set the roof on fire.

Kleb Spotlight: Ku Hye Sun

Digging to know what's up with Ku Hye Sun after Boys Over Flowers? Well I have some news for you about her. She did an interview for Elle Girl and you can read it here:

Elle Girl (EG): You surprised [everyone] by publishing a novel this spring; this time it’s drawings. What are you feelings about opening your first art exhibition at La Mer Gallery?
Ku Hye Sun (KHS): I’ve thought about it from awhile ago, but I didn’t know that it would be exhibited like this. After receiving the proposal from WITH (YG Entertainment’s charity campaign), I figured it would be more meaningful to do it [like this] than by myself and proceeded quickly.

EG: I’m aware that you dreamt about entering an Arts high school back in your schooling days. How did you become familiar with pictures?
KHS: I liked drawing pictures since I was young. And my friends and I would also paint murals on our neighbourhood walls. But my skills weren’t particularly outstanding, just to the level that my teacher would occasionally post a picture I drew in art class on the classroom wall. The friends I hung out with were so multi-talented that I never thought that I grew up without thinking that I was special. But now I often hear the words, ‘Why do you do so many [activities]?’

EG: You seem like the type of student who is diligent and continually trying to learn something.
KHS: Not at all. My mother always worried about my laziness. However, I’m the type that when I decide to do something, I push forward in a short amount of time. If it took me 100 days to draw pictures, I’m actually the type to play for ninety-nine days and concentrate for one day to draw. My method is to push when the feeling comes.

EG: I heard that you completed your novel Tango while filming Boys Over Flowers. Does exceptional strength flow when you push ahead with something? Your first novel was received quite positively [considering it was done under those circumstances].
KHS: Many have asked the question, “Why is Yeon Yee (Tango’s female protagonist) so popular?”

EG: I concur. She is involved with three men.
KHS: It’s not so much that Yeon Yee is popular, but that there are phases in life when lots of toxic guys approach. And if everyone looks carefully around them, there are relationships with the opposite sex that came about with various emotions. Or please just think of it as a fantasy (laughter). I feel a progressively greater sense of responsibility every time I do something. The thought that even if the first one is unskilled, the next one has to be better. At least so that people who are watching (reading) don’t feel uncomfortable.

EG: If one looks at the back cover, there are words of recommendation from CEO Yang Hyun Suk (of YG Entertainment) and Representative Jung Seung Hye (of Morning, a film production company). Who are those two people to you?
KHS: You know publishers like it if a famous person writes the words of recommendation. Although I have many famous friends, by nature I’m not good at asking for favours. It feels burdensome to receive something for free. [With this personality,] the people that I feel most comfortable asking for favours are my family and President Yang Hyun Suk. Meanwhile, Representative Jung Seung Hye is like the manager of my life. She is the one who encouraged me to write and put me in touch with a publisher. She wrote a recommendation even before I requested one.

EG: This is sad to talk about, but Jung Seung Hye passed away this past May. Your sadness must have been great considering your special relationship; has your heart recovered now?
KHS: There were articles that said I collapsed from exhaustion at the viewing, but I’ve never collapsed. Strangely, there are many false reports such as this about me. Of course I did cry a lot. But it was a situation that had been forecast to some degree, and I didn’t think it was appropriate to sob impudently in front of the person who has left us. My heart was at peace to some degree because I was able to watch over her path to the very end.

EG: I heard that she helped you film The Madonna (유쾌한 도우미). Thanks to her, you uniquely made your [big] screen debut as a director rather than an actress.
KHS: I’m just one of countless people who dream of movies. I wrote the scenario, worked on the script, and conceived the background music on my own because it was fun, but I was lucky to get the opportunity to turn it into a movie, book, and soundtrack. To be honext, there’s not a lot that I know about the technical side of movie[-making]. I’m studying this and that, but people around me have actually told me not to learn it. That [if I do], I’ll try to do everything by myself (laughter).

EG: There were some questions raised whether the reason you were pursuing such diverse activities is because you’re not fulfilled living as an actress.
KHS: By nature, my personality isn’t satisfied with anything. Except for when I eat delicious food and say, “Ah, I’m full!” I think that no matter what I do, there’s no such thing as 100% happiness. To be honest, I’m not sure of myself. A person’s emotions are countless, change everyday, and differ depending on who you’re with. Anyhow, I do think I’m an interesting character.

EG: Film, book, picture…. I’m curious about the next project we’ll see you in.
KHS: There are plans for an album to be released. You could say that it’s a new age record; I did all of the composing and some famous musicians play the music. There’s some orchestra music, and we’re going to put in one song. (KP’s note: I believe by song she means a song with lyrics, as opposed to just instruments.) This record has been in the making for two years and the compositions were finished last year. The book and exhibition were also in the works since awhile ago, but all of the finished products were unintentionally released one after another.

EG: You composed the theme song for The Madonna. How did you come to learn composition?
Other people think that I received the benefit of private education, but our household wasn’t that well-off. However, I was heavily influenced by good teachers when I was young. The instructor at the piano academy I attended during elementary school particularly liked me, so she taught me piano at practically no cost. [She/He] let me come play the piano any time and guided me in chord, composition, and voice training.

EG: Do you receive counsel about your music from CEO Yang Hyun Suk?
KHS: Yes. I call anytime and beg, “I created a song today; please listen to it once”. But I can’t understand the music that the president makes, and [he] can’t understand the music that I make. He says, “I don’t know because it’s too difficult”, about an instrumental piano piece that I made. So he left us in charge of this album.

EG: ‘Us’ is referring to yourself and the staff, right? It seems like you enjoy working with lots of different people.
KHS: You feel more alive that way. Whatever entertainers do, they are left on their own for the results (judgment). Even when filming a drama with lots of staff, there are many cases where the criticism is just towards the actors. Because of the public eye, there’s no choice but to hide yourself. But that’s not necessary when doing other projects. I can say my opinion without discretion and argue if something doesn’t suit me. And then when the finished product comes out, we’re joyful together.

EG: There are rumours of misunderstanding that these other kinds of activities are for marketing a more elite image.
KHS: That’s definitely not true. I’m actually very ordinary. I’m the most lacking out of all of my friends. Nonetheless, I’m simply jumping into things to enjoy life without being too cautious of judgment [now]. People around me tell me often, ‘Why are you being brainwashed by society? Don’t live so modestly.’

EG: Writing literature, drawing pictures, and making music – what goal are you working towards while doing all of this?
KHS: I have no greed to earn a lot of money or attain high status. I dream of an ordinary life of barbequeing meat and drinking beer with my friends at a house with a yard. Paintings and music are [...] not my life goals. Although as I do it, my greed (ambition) increases, I try not to forget my original purpose at those times. I think I’ll become unhappy if I get too attached.

Kleb Spotlight: Kim So Eun & Kim Bum

Are you a SoEul fan? Do you want to know how much Kim Bum (Bummie) and Kim So Eun (Eunnie) have in common? Yeah? Great, then I have some SoEul mates' trivia for you and some cute pictures that would make you say "ah they're so meant for each other". So lets start with the trivia:

Bummie and Eunnie both attend Chung-Ang University, and have classes together.

Bummie’s idol is Jo In Sung, and Eunnie’s idol is Ha Ji Won. Jo In Sung and Ha Ji Won starred in the melodrama “What Happened in Bali”, which garnered high ratings.

Bummie played the role of a lovable son in “Outrageous Women”, whereas Eunnie played the role of a lovable daughter in “The Show Must Go On”

In “Gosa – Bloody Midterms”, Bummie was stabbed in the back by a psycho classmate, and in “Someone Behind You”, Eunnie was stabbed in the back by her psycho sister.

Bummie played a student in “Gosa”, unraveling the murder case in the movie. Eunnie filmed* “Fourth Period Murder Mystery”, acting as a detective to find the solve the murder mysteries.

Bummie was cast in the movie “71″ with Seung Ri and Yoo Seung Ho, but later had to drop due to scheduling conflicts with the drama “Dream”. Eunnie was cast* for the movie “Fourth Period Murder Mystery” with Yoo Seung Ho, but had to drop due to scheduling conflicts with the drama “The Man Who Can’t Get Married”. Both “71″ and “Fourth Period Murder Mystery” had a common actor – Yoo Seung Ho.

Bummie acted as the youth version of Song Seung Heon in “East of Eden”, and Eunnie acted as the youth version of Chae Si Ra in “Empress Chun Chu”. Both roles had many emotional scenes, showcasing their acting abilities.

Bummie is the model for cosmetic product “It’s Skin”, and Eunnie is the model (along with Yoona) for “Clean & Clear”.

Bummie was the model for Maxim Coffee, Eunnie was the model for Pocari Sweat (both beverages, although Pocari Sweat is an energy drink, but both contain caffeine right?)

In both of Bummie and Eunnie’s new dramas: Dream & Man Who Can’t Get Married, they are the 2nd male/female role, and they both work with their seniors: Joo Jin Mo & Ji Jin Hee respectively. And they both have a character pining for them Hong Ah Reum & Yoo Ah In respectively (Now I notice even the other actor’s names have something in common: JIN and AH).

Both Bummie and Eunnie had a spread in the magazine High Cut.

* Note: Because the director was changed in FPMM, the new director wanted to refilm the entire movie when So Eun had already filmed 80% of the movie already. Since she was too busy with her drama “The Man Who Can’t Get Married”, she dropped the movie deal. Therefore she was cast (and dropped) and filmed (but will be cut out).

more trivia:

• 
  

• Eunnie mentioned in Boys Over Flowers behind the scenes that she hopes her future boyfriend will look at her only. Bummie mentioned in a recent magazine article that once he has a girlfriend, he will look at no one else but her.
• Bummie said in another magazine that when he’s not working, he hopes to be with someone who can make him smile and bring him happiness. In the Bonjuk interview, Bummie mentioned that Eunnie was someone who always greeted others with a smile, and seems to be able to give others energy (make them happy).
• During the SectionTV interview, whenever Ga Eul-yang’s name was mentioned, Bummie’s expression changed, and sometimes seemed like he was fantasizing. He claimed his ideal type was someone who was younger than him, which was different from his old answer of liking petite and older women (this was a long time ago).
• It seems like Bummie’s expression changes a lot when Eunnie’s name is mentioned, because during the F4 Talk Special his smile was a little different when the hosts talked about Eunnie. He even knows the titles of all of Eunnie’s works.
• During a Boys Over Flowers signing session, the host asked Bummie who left him the deepest impression, and he said it was Ga Eul-yang, and thanked everyone for naming them the Soeul couple on behalf of him and Ga Eul-yang.
• During a concert, the host asked how he felt when he was dumped by previous girlfriends. He said he was too busy taking care of Ga Eul-yang to think about that.
• During an interview, Gu Hye Sun was asked to choose her favorites out of F4. She didn’t pick Yi Jeong or Woo Bin, but Bummie said it was fine because he already had Ga Eul-yang.
• During the interview at New Caledonia (the video is on tudou, I’ll fetch it soon), Minho asked Bummie “You have a scene with So Eun tomorrow, do you want to get familiarized with her?” Then Bummie took over the script book, and very shyly requested for the interview to stop.
• Bummie mentioned that he was very glad to have worked with many female actresses such as Kim So Eun, Park Shin Hye, Go Ara… but he mentioned So Eun first, and the rest were in order. It appears So Eun made more of an impression on him, and his fellow co-star Nam Gyuri in Gosa wasn’t even mentioned.
• During a Japan interview, Bummie said that if he got the chance he would still play the Yi Jeong character, because if he didn’t, then he would have to watch Ga Eul-yang get paired up with someone else. When asked what his ideal type was he answered: someone who is younger than him, has long natural hair, no glasses, has double eyelids, doesn’t color her nails, someone he can exercise with, and who likes to wear jeans. When asked if he would choose between love or friendship, he would choose love.

His ideal type sounds awfully familiar doesn’t it? And Eunnie skied for 10 years (which fits with the exercise thing).

Eunnie has said that Ga Eul has become a second name/nickname to her, so it makes you wonder whether Bummie is talking about Ga Eul-yang the character, or Eunnie.

We don’t know whether Bummie knew about Eunnie’s works beforehand because she’s a great actress, or he researched because of her, but the latter one makes more sense since he wouldn’t just research about a random actress he never met right?

And since Bummie would choose love over friendship, if he likes his fellow friend, he would do something about it right?

Hmm now how about some 'coincidental' pictures:

Kim Hyun Joong's Confession

Pretty boy Kim Hyun Joong of SS501 who played the role of Yoon Ji Hoo in Boys Over Flowers confessed that he ran away from home for 6 months. In the drama Kim Hyun Joong had servants serving for him but in real life he experienced lot's of hardships.

He made a living by carried bricks, delivered fried chicken during his 2nd year in secondary school. For 5 years, he has been thrifty and saved up about 1 billion won. With a good business mind, he used the money that he had saved to open a fried chicken store with his childhood playmates in Seoul.

Korean handsome star Won Bin and Yoon Sang Hyun always been mistaken that they came from a wealthy family. In fact, they are both from hard working family before they debut, Kim Hyun Joong is one of them.

When Kim Hyun Joong was in secondary school, he dislike studying but love playing music. Because of this he quarreled with his parents and ran away from home for six months. During these six months, he idled around on the street.

There was time when he felt so hungry that he went to the noodle shop and ate without paying. There was also time when he got drunk and got beaten badly by the gangsters. He slept in an empty house and almost got hit by stones. Being through all these hardships, he decided to save up money and do something great.

Kim Hyun Joong said: “During that time, I carried bricks, delivered fried chicken and work as a waiter in the restaurant. I accepted any job as long as I can earn money from it. After which I managed to save up to 1 billion won and I felt a great sense of accomplishment.”

He started a fried chicken store using the money he has saved up. He even wrote in his promotion leaflets saying: ‘I would be your son if the chickens don’t taste good’. And right now he became the spokesperson of the Korean Hotsun fried chicken.
