F4's Funny Side

What I have for you today is a video of the Korean F4 in Japan. I guess this was recorded while they were promoting Boys Over Flowers in Japan. The video contains a little bit of interview and a lot of goofing around. If you wanna see the pretty F4 boys do funny faces you have to check this out. And yeah I agree with Min Ho when he said that the other host was a bit scary. Haha

It was revealed that fans who buy the photo book will be able to see the F4 members, together with the natural beautiful scenery of Korea as the backdrop, showcasing a different charisma from their drama characters. There will also be a DVD included which contains private movie clips.

Lee Min Ho, Kim Bum, and Koo Hye Sun supports SS501

Lee Min Ho, Goo Hye Sun and Kim Bum reunited to show support for their Boys Over Flowers co-star and friend Kim Hyun Joong who’s back in the concert scene with his group SS501. Sweet!

The threesome were seen together watching SS501’s concert at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium in Seoul. I read that Kim Joon was supposed to show up too but unfortunately his musical Youth March had a show running.

Actress Gu Hyesun is seen in SS501 1st day concert along together with fellow Flower Boys ‘Kimbum’ and Lee Minho.

Hyesun stated that she visited the fellow Flower Boy Kim Hyunjoong in the waiting room.” Kim Hyunjoong expressed his thank you for my attendance “, she says while laughing.

Gu Hyesun, Kimbum, and Gu Hyesun arrived at the concert site 1 hour earlier, so they can meet and chat with Kim Hyunjoong.

All of them met in the Boys over Flowers drama, and being friends since then.

SS501 will also visit Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand for their Asia Tour Concert.

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.

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:
