Kate expressed that the most she could do was reveal her back and waist. When the reporter mentioned that she wore a bikini in the series "Moonlight Resonance" she said that was her limit. Also it took alot of mental courage. Before she filmed that scene she had to adjust her diet in order to get a more toned figure.


Afraid of exposing herself

Myolie who wore a revealing dress stole the limelight and all eyes were on her. The paparazzi's complimented her for being so brave.

When the reporter said she had stole the limelight, she replied by saying it was just only average, nothing special. "At first I only saw photos of the outfit and was worried it would be too much in daylight." Asked if she had looked in the mirror before going out? "I had looked Up, down, left and right, almost everywhere. I didn't ask my parents if they felt it was okay to wear such an sexy outfit." Myolie had alot of compliments for appearing sexy, asked if she will decide to follow the sexy girl image? "The company doesn't need to use me, there are many pretty girls in the company. I prefer to look tomboyish more."

SNSD went to GaRak high school to perfom…Overall, it was a fail. During kissing you + babybay…fans were pushing each other and many people fell and got hurt. Some non fan shouted “this is why DC happened” + “Soshi fans are idiots”…In other words, it was a complete chaos. As the situation exacerbated, our girls were worried. Some fans said, “Sunny had this depressing look…” Anyways, due to chaos, they had to stop the performance; our girls went back in while the MC tried to pacify the wild crowd. Few moments later, our girls came back to peform GG and it was much better. However, many people kept pushing each other. As a result, some people left.

Rain is being called to Hawaii on November 4th 2008

Rain is being called to Hawaii on November 4th 2008. But the trip is not to show off his English skills.

Instead he is being called to testify in front of a federal court for the abrupt cancellation of his concert last year in June 2007. Local promoter, Click Entertainment, is suing Rain and demanding that Rain and his organizers, JYP Entertainment and Star M pay more than 4 million USD for the Aloha Stadium fiasco.

Rain and his previous management have avoided the call to court in Korea. And now faced with a court date in Hawaii., they will likely push to postpone the appearance. If granted, that would buy an extra 2-3 months. But, why postpone? He really should just be a man and take responsibility for his actions. Because, no matter how you slice it, Rain has to go to court anyways. So a few more months is not going to make the pain any less.

Rain’s current management company, J-tunes is washing their hands of any responsibility.

Last year, Rain also abruptly cancelled his concerts in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

2PM join with 2AM form a mega boyband known as "One Day"

JYP has his pride on the line for "2PM", his newest boyband since the days of legendary G.O.D.

2PM finally released their much anticipated single album "Hottest Time of the Day" on August 29. JYP revealed that "this group is my pride and reputation" because 2PM is his newest boyband in 10 years since the creation of G.O.D. The title of their album "Hottest Time of the Day" implies that 2PM will reflect the bussle and activity of mid-day by working hard as a dance group.

2PM's title song is "10 points out of 10". And I definitely give them a perfect score - "10 out of 10" - because this song will be the next sensation Their single album contains 6 tracks, including "Only You" and "Angel". Their title song "10 points out of 10" is a fusion of rock(ish) guitar ripples, electronica, with a hip-pop beat that shows JYP's daring style.

The music video was created by the same producer, Jang Jae Hyuk, that made the MVs for Wonder Girls and Rain. It was set in the new W hotel in Seoul, showing a chic, trendy vibe. The MV is about the 7 guys in 2PM being awe-strucked by a gorgeous lady that walks into the hotel. They give her a "10 out of 10" for her beauty, simultaneously playing out their erotic fantasies. I feel like I lost my innocence while watching the MV and the lyrics are filled with sexual innuendos. JYP has made 7 dandy clones of himself, liberally indulging in voyeurism and self-titillation. And Wonder Girls' Yoobin makes a sexy entrance at the end, looking smoking HOT! 2PM gives Yoobin a "10 out of 10" and I can't agree more...haha. The girl featured in the MV is Gina Choi, who is Yoobin's friend (both met at Good Entertainment before they moved to JYPE together).

2PM will soon join with 2AM to form a mega boyband, known as "One Day".

Linda who has recently released her debut album went to Toronto for 2 days earlier to do a live show. She had the opportunity to sing 8 songs and felt it was like performing her own concert. However, she didn’t sing her own songs because she was worried the audience may get bored since they weren't familiar with them. Also her album was currently not available for sale overseas. Therefore, she sang other artists songs. "My fan’s in Toronto asked their friends in Hong Kong to help them buy my album. While I was doing autographs, many fans handed me the CD they brought for me to sign. I will certainly sing my own songs for them next time I'm there. Although, Linda was busy promoting her album and filming new series "Dogs on the Beat", she still found time to earn extra money by doing live shows. She claimed that she will go on vacation right after she finishes filming the new series to reward herself for her hardwork. She has chosen to go to Cuba with her family as it’s cheap and a beautiful place.

But under the guidance of the photographer, they eventually completed the bobo scene after some difficulty.

Hwang Bo expressed in her interview, “Because he’s like a younger brother, I don’t know if this was possible. But it should be fine for a younger brother to hug his older sister right?, as she revealed how much she doted on Hyun Joong. Meanwhile, Hyun Joong expressed generously, “Although there might be a little problem in future after that bobo scene, but the feeling was great.”

Hwang Bo’s close friend, Shin Ae-ra visited her during her photoshoot and offered some advice to her since she was already a mother of 4 children with her actor/husband, Cha In Pyo. She told Hwang Bo, “You are really not suitable to date a younger man?”. But at the same time, Shin Ae-ra showed her interest in the young groom, “You have finally returned safely from Japan, must have been really tough?”, her straightforward words leaving everyone in stitches.

Nam Gyu-Ri promoting Kim Bum movie GoSa

Nam Gyu-Ri (23), who is promoting her movie GoSa by going to cinemas and personally greeting guests apparently declared that “Wherever there are fans, I will go.” Upon hearing that noona was going to Jeju-do, Kim Bum (19) personally called his agency and said that “I have to go to Jeju-do to greet guests, too.” Guess he didn’t want to miss a chance to spend some time with an older woman who already admitted that he was her type of guy in Korea’s no.1 honeymoon spot.

The two supposed lovebirds flew to Jeju-do (that was an unintentional pun) on the 24th, where the Kim Bum added, “I definitely want to greet people who come to watch our movie, GoSa, even if there’s only one guest. I’ll stand on stage with Gyu-Ri noona.”

Wonder Girls released the music video for “This Time”

On 22nd August, Wonder Girls released the music video for “This Time” which surprised many fans and created a lot of buzz. “This Time” is a song that garnered a lot of love along with the title track off their mini-album “So Hot.”

“This Time” MV begins with the Wonder Girls’ members in their everyday life and the storyline progresses when Sohee reads a book titled “This Time.” Actor Shin Dong Wook, who has a strong fanbase because of his great acting skills and looks, plays a designer who falls in love with a mannequin, played by newbie actress Kim Yun Ah, and as a result the love story becomes very complicated.

Another reason why the music video is creating so much buzz is because the winning contestant from last year’s “UCC music video contest for ‘Breaking up in the daylight’’ was the one who produced the music video.

A JYPE representative stated, “On December 2007 we held a contest called ‘The Breaking up in daylight music video challenge,’ where the winner got an award and was given the chance to produce an all-expense paid music video for one of the artist signed under JYPE.” The rep also stated “The contestant who grabbed our attention was Kim Eui Yun who eventually won the contest and was invited to produce the music video for ‘This Time,’ which is thought of as Wonder Girls second title track after ‘So Hot.’ The production team spent three months shooting the music video before it was released today.

The music video was co-produced by director Kim Kwang Eun who stated, “The music video is about the Wonder Girls’ members reading a book titled ‘This Time,’ a complicated love story between a designer and a mannequin.” He explained, “This Time’ is a bright ballad song, so we decided to reflect the mood of the song by using only soft colors in the video. To enhance the composition of the video we used a unique technique called “rotoscoping.”

Contest winner Kim Eui Yun stated, “I’m still an amateur but I want to thank JYPE for giving me the chance to debut as a music video director and making my dreams come true.” Their co-produced music video for Wonder Girls “This Time” was revealed through GomTv last Friday midnight.

Amber Guo’s first drama “Invincible Shan Bao Mei”

“Invincible Shan Bao Mei” is newcomer Amber Guo’s first drama, and she has Ethan Ruan and Qiao En to help her make a breakthrough. In the first episode, she must reveal her entire back, but she has a substitute to stand in for her during that scene. Yesterday, she denied any rumors of being “privileged” and said, “The cast is very thoughtful in protecting artists.”

To maintain the high ratings of “Fated to Love You”, SETTV invited Ethan and Qiao En to participate in the new drama. The 2 will still play their roles in “Fated to Love You”. Ethan will first go to the Shan Bao Mei’s roast meat shop to buy lunch, then Qiao En bumps into Shan Bao Mei at the lingerie shop, and they try on lingerie together. The 2’s baby “Ji Nian Ri” will also appear in the drama.

Amber plays a girl who has biceps and is flat-chested in the drama. To make her breasts bigger, she goes and buys a machine, but then bumps into Nicholas Teo, who witnesses her bare back. However, Amber has a substitute to stand-in for her during that scene. The first time filming, she already has a substitue; Amber yesterday denied rumors of being “privileged” and said, “This was already decided before filming, the cast is very thoughtful in protecting artists, I don’t need to worry at all.”

In the drama, Nicholas Teo plays narcissistic Sun Wu Di, who owns a restaurant. Nicholas laughed and said, “The character I play is very different from myself. One time, I had to say Wang Ba Dan (bad word in Chinese) but I just couldn’t say it at all and NG many times. Even the director got very annoyed.”

Roy Chiu plays a single father in the drama, and this is his first time playing the role of a father. For the drama, he even specially went to learn cooking. He said, “At first, I burnt all the bean sprouts, and at the end of my practices, my fingers were covered with blisters!”

Bernice never saw such a big crab!

Attracted many people who passed by as well as fans! It took Bernice 45 minutes to put on the kimono and it wasn't just her! She had three skilled Japanese workers helping her put the kimono on, layer by layer. "This is the first time it took me so long to dress up!" said Bernice. "Whenever I had to practice scenes for a series and/or practice takes for traveling shows, I never had to wear anything like it. In total there were four layers and the kimono as a whole was very heavy to wear. When I get married in the future, I definitely will not consider wearing a kimono!"

She indicated that while she was wearing a kimono she had to sit slightly sideways and while she was walking she had to take small step and with each step her feet had to point slanted inward (it looks like this / \, translated literally from Chinese its called "eight character feet"). However, when she saw a big bowl of Japanese food she was extremely happy. She was shocked to see such a big long foot drab and while smiling she said "I never saw such a big crab!"

Stephanie Cheng attended “Battle of Million Superstars”

Stephanie Cheng attended “Battle of Million Superstars” game show yesterday and there was a female fan who looks alike to her. Stephanie Cheng jokingly commented that the female fan looks like herself when she didn’t apply makeup. Even Eunix Lee was being said to look similar to Stephanie Cheng, which Stephanie Cheng agrees but Eunix Lee currently has a short hair style, which does not look alike to Stephanie Cheng now.

Stephanie Cheng had jokingly mentioned that she will change to a short hair style, in which gave a shock to Eunix Lee, who immediately disagree as she has just gone the hard way to avoid looking alike to Stephanie Cheng. Stephanie Cheng had held a barbeque party with her fans at Sai Kung town and she realized many of her fans will further study overseas, leaving her emotionally wanted to scream out loud. She immediately looks towards the sea to calm her emotion to avoid surprising her fans.

Lee Jun Ki tries to shed his feminine

Actor Lee Jun Ki tries to shed his feminine soft guy image in his new photoshoot.

His tough guy attitude is displayed in these pictures for the September 2008 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine (Korea). In the interview for the women’s monthly, the effeminate actor divulges that a fan tried to send him money so that he can buy a new car and also admitted that he was nervous when he met his idol, Seotaeji.

“Hot Shot” went to Malaysia to promote

Coco plays the passionate but serious basketball coach in the drama, and has many scenes with Show, Jerry Yan and Wu Zun. Online netizens think that Show should be with Coco, as in the drama, Zhou Cai Shi is too uncertain about her feelings. They said, “Yuan Da Ying would only experience pain and hurt if he was with her.”

Perhaps it is because fans really wanted Show and Coco to be together, because when “Hot Shot” went to Malaysia to promote, Show and Coco were paired up. However, while filming, it was really Jerry, that Coco had the most interactions with. The 2 had also sparked a “towel relationship”.

Because Coco mostly wears mini-skirts in the drama, whenever she sits down, often she will expose herself. Many times, Jerry would initiate and give her his own towel, saying to her, “Careful, you don’t want to reveal anything.” Coco expressed, “He is very cute, maybe he does not want me to misunderstand because he also said that he the reason he gave me his towel is not because he saw anything, but because he does not want me to reveal anything.”

As for Show, he and Zhou Cai Shi also have many interactions outside the drama. He is known to be her saviour, because while filming, the director Lin He Long (who is famous for yelling) would often yell at her. As Zhou Cai Shi is a relative newcomer, she does know director Lin’s personality, and would think that he was picking on her. However, Show often came to her rescue, and would say to the director, “Don’t be so loud, you’ll scare her!” The director laughed and said, “I am other peoples’ worst nightmare, but Show is my worst nightmare!”

She will be "graduating" to CanCam's sister magazine AneCan, targeting women in their mid to late twenties.

AneCan began publication in March 2007. One of the first models to switch over to AneCan was Moe Oshikiri, who was previously part of a well-known CanCam trio with Ebihara and Yu Yamada.

Hollywood movie "Speed Racer" crashing at the box office.

BEIJING (Reuters) - South Korean pop sensation Rain has vowed to keep acting and trying to break into the U.S. market despite his debut Hollywood movie, "Speed Racer," crashing at the box office.

Rain is one of Asia's top-selling musicians and a fan favorite in TV dramas but he has struggled for U.S. fame despite being named as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in 2006 and in People magazine's beautiful people list last year.

This summer, Rain, 26, tested the U.S. waters again with a role in the big-budget $150 million Warner Bros. movie "Speed Racer," but the film failed to ignite audiences with its American debut weekend only pulling in about $18 million.

But Rain said this would not put him off. He has already filmed his next movie, "Ninja Assassins," again by the Wachowski brothers, best known for "The Matrix" trilogy.

"Regardless of its ratings, Speed Racer was my first movie and I think it is meaningful that I get to meet the Wachowski brothers who I really admire," Rain told Reuters in an interview at the Beijing Olympics where he was a guest of Games sponsor Samsung.

"Right now I'm only focused on Ninja Assassin which is very important for me and is coming out early next year. I have plans to star in other movies but there is nothing confirmed yet."

Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, has starred in TV dramas and movies in South Korea and played to sold-out concerts across Asia, where his boy-next-door image has won him legions of fans across language barriers.

But a series of concerts planned for the United States fizzled out last year because of promotional problems.

Rain, who sings largely in Korean and is working on another album for Asian fans, acknowledged he had yet to gain wide recognition in the United States or Europe, but said he was working on it.

"If I do a lot more activities and I do my best I believe a lot more people will recognize me," said the singer, dressed in tight jeans and white-and-silver pointed shoes.

"I can introduce more Western people to my movies and my songs and this type of interview as well will help me cement my name on the global stage," said Rain as he headed out to greet hundreds of screaming fans.

Rain canceled his performance at the Samsung Beijing

Rain canceled his performance at the Samsung Beijing event today due to rain. How ironic. However he did make a two minute appearance at his hotel balcony to thank his fans who waited out in the rain for two hours in hopes of seeing him.

Han Ye Rin isn't the innocent little girl

It was reported that in real life, the fourteen year old (Korean age) actress Han Ye Rin isn't the innocent little girl that's loved by a lot of ajumma and halmoni, but a violent teenager, who smokes at school and bullies others.

It was said that last month, Ye Rin borrowed a skirt from her classmate, due to her unqualification of school appearance (her skirt was too short), and never gave it back. The classmate then took one of her friends and told the teacher about what happened.

Ye Rin got scolded by the teacher and was nowhere near accepting the blame, so she told her friends to get the two classmates that told on her, and beated them for three hours. This caused the one of the classmates to be concussed and both girls having many physical bruises.

After this incident was revealed, a lot of netizens went to Ye Rin's cyworld
http://www.cyworld.com/gksdpfls and scolded her for her wrong doings, causing her cyworld to be closed, as I last checked. Yet, her mother apologized and ask everyone to please give Ye Rin a second chance.

This incident has caused the movie she is currently shooting to stop, and may not even be finished for next year.

Profiles :-
- Han Ye Rin
- Born on November 26th, 1994
- Currently in Eighth Grade

She acted in a few movies and dramas:
-The Crescent Moon (2002)
-Face (2004)

-Hello God! (2006)
-The Famous Princesses (2006)

Ryu Si-won solo concert at the Tokyo Dome on Christmas Eve.

Singer-actor Ryu Si-won and hip-hop group Epik High will visit the Japanese market through separate performances.

Ryu, 36, will hold a solo concert at the Tokyo Dome on Christmas Eve.

``The Tokyo Dome is a difficult place for even Japanese artists to perform. Considering the size, budget and the season, Ryu's concert holds great meaning,'' Ryu's agency R's Company announced Tuesday.

Ryu is the second Korean singer to perform solo at the Tokyo Dome, following Rain last year.

The singer in June began an 18-city tour of Japan. Performing in 30 concerts over the past two months, he will finish his long journey at Tokyo's Budokan with a three-day concert ending Friday. The first hallyu star to perform for three consecutive days in the city, Ryu will also release his eighth album in Japan in October and hold a birthday party and fan meeting in Seoul Oct. 5.

Korean hip-hop group Epik High will also perform at the Yokohama BLITZ!, Saturday and Sunday.

Comprised of Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz, the group will hold a joint show with Korean balladeer Tei, who has steadily garnered a Japanese fan base.

This weekend's performance will mark the group's first formal encounter with their Japanese fans.

Epik High was voted the ''most desired group to see in a live performance" on the Japanese Web Site ``Mixi,'' according to the group's manager Woolim Entertainment.

``We hope this upcoming performance will start a continuous relationship between Epik High and its Japanese fans," Woolim said.

The group performed in Thailand early this month to an overwhelmingly positive reception.

Ella and male model Kagami Tomohisa became doggie in-laws.

Ella with her newborn 'grandson' , Tie Dan .

Four months ago, Ella and male model Kagami Tomohisa became doggie in-laws. Kagami Tomohisa’s red Toy Poodle [Peony] was very fertile and earlier gave birth to three little red Toy Poodle puppies. This added a new member for Ella’s home when she excitedly brought back little [Tie Dan], the last pup to be wean off mother’s milk. Yesterday she laughed: [Tie Dan is really too adorable. Perhaps it was because he was not used to being wean off milk yet so he kept rushing up to his father Ah Gui and bit his {family jewel}. The pain caused Ah Gui to turn around and ferociously bites at little Tie Dan. His expression was really funny.]

The relationship between S.H.E has always been very strong. Even the dogs that they have as pets are of the same lineage. It all started with Selina’s beloved pet Pinky giving birth to three puppies. They each kept one of the puppies to symbolize the never-changing and continuation of their friendship throughout the generations. Sure enough, this thoughtful intention of Selina slowly blossomed and bore fruit. Ah Gui, the male pup chosen by Ella in the beginning [hooked up] with Peony, the red Toy Poodle of male model Kagami Tomohisa four months ago. Recently Peony gave birth to three pups. Ella was extremely thrilled. She laid claims to one of the male pup and named him [Tie Dan].

Tie Dan has an innocent look about him and according to Ella’s description, his dark eyes seem slightly cross-eyed yet also slightly slanting and he is super adorable. When he was brought home, his doggie papa was not happy at all and in fact, was a bit sulky about it. She laughed: [Because Tie Dan is too active, jumping and running all over every day. Furthermore, he is probably still not used to being weaned off milk yet. Every time he sees Ah Gui he would rush up to him and ferociously bite on his father’s...(birdie). The pain would cause Ah Gui to get angry and ferociously bites him back. The way these two dogs interacted is just too funny.]

When little Tie Dan returned to Ella’s home in accordance to his heritage, as soon as dog-lover Hebe heard the news, she immediately rushed over to Ella’s place to visit and was teased by Ella [One would think that the dog is yours]. However, Selina, the real [ancestor], was busy that day and thus far, still had not have a chance to see the cute and naughty ways of her [great-grandson]. Yesterday, the trio gathered at the recording company to try out new looks and styles for the upcoming new album. [Tie Dan] was the main focus of their conversation topic. However, because of their desire to present only the best, the release date of their new album kept being delayed. The earliest release date would most likely be the end of the September and they hoped that their fans will understand.

“Moonlight Resonance” popularity has risen.

Fung’s popularity has risen due to the airing of “Moonlight Resonance”, recently he was interviewed by Lam Pak Hei (a radio show host from Metro Radio).

When Fung spoke about his love life, he openly admitted that he would like to be in a relationship. He has also met a girl that he has a favourable impression on, but ultimately he will not take action. The reason is because he’s too busy so he cannot spend a lot of time or energy on it, and it would not be satisfactory for the other person. Plus he is a person who desires perfection, so he will often point out the other person’s shortcomings. So everytime he picks a girlfriend he will be very careful, and he’s also afraid that once a relationship happens the feelings will be different from before. Also, he’s very insecure, which caused his love life to be currently empty. He also said he would like his future partner to be a traditional girl, of course he would like a beautiful girlfriend, but feeling comfortable with her is the most important.

Dancing behind Cool as backdancers

He revealed the surprising piece of his past on his radio show on SBS Power FM on 19th August, “I should put all these behind me but I was dancing behind Cool as backdancers before debut.”

“Back then in 1996, I took up many part time jobs here and there to earn money. And I went to JeJu Island with my friends and over there we got the part time job to be Cool’s backdancer which gives us an allowance of 40,000 won for working a week. Even though I couldn’t dance back then, I was taught to memorise all the dance steps - which I did, spending all the late nights memorising them.”

“I practised very hard for the ‘Destiny’ dance, and when Cool finally came to JeJu Island and Jae Hoon hyung saw us dance, he gave me and my friend thumbs-up, saying that it was good.”

"Innocent Love" will premiere in October

Popular actress Maki Horikita has picked up her next lead drama role. She will star in the tentatively-titled "Innocent Love," scheduled to air in Fuji TV's flagship Monday night time slot this fall. As the title suggests, the show will be a romance story.

The script is an original work written by Taeko Asano, whose most recent hit was "Last Friends" this past spring. Like that show, "Innocent Love" will focus on the lives of modern youths. The shows also share a director (Yusuke Kato) and a producer (Toshiyuki Nakano).

The story centers around the tragic heroine Kanon Akiyama (Horikita). As a child, she lost both her parents to a murderer, and her older brother was arrested as the prime suspect. Shunned by her town as the sister of a killer, she heads to Tokyo and picks up a job as a housecleaner. There, she has a fateful encounter with a man, but the road to romance is fraught with difficulty.

This will be Horikita's first time starring in Fuji TV's key time slot. Last year, her popularity skyrocketed due to a starring role in "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e." Currently, she appears in the NHK taiga drama "Atsuhime." That series doesn't finish filming until the end of September, so she will briefly be shooting simultaneously for "Atsuhime" and "Innocent Love."

"Innocent Love" will premiere in October.

Hayao Miyazaki's "Gake no Ue no Ponyo" has raked in over 10 billion yen

On Tuesday, distributor Toho announced that Hayao Miyazaki's "Gake no Ue no Ponyo" has raked in over 10 billion yen at the box office in the month since its release. More than 8.4 million people have watched the film in theaters.

The last Japanese film to gross 10 billion yen was the 2004 animated feature "Howl's Moving Castle," also directed by Miyazaki. "Ponyo" took only 31 days to so, compared to 33 for "Howl," suggesting that it may eventually surpass the 19.6 billion yen gross of the latter. However, it didn't quite meet the pace of "Spirited Away," which reached 10 billion in 25 days and went on to make 30.4 billion.

According to Oricon's DVD rankings for the week, the success of "Ponyo" has revived interest in older Studio Ghibli works. "My Neighbor Totoro," originally released in 2001, jumped from #22 last week to #8 on the overall DVD rankings, its first top 10 appearance in close to 7 years. Other titles saw similar leaps:

* "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" (#58 -> #31)
* "Kiki's Delivery Service" (#65 -> #35)
* "Princess Mononoke" (#77 -> #44)
* "Spirited Away" (#84 -> #45)
* "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" (#90 -> #58)
* "Porco Rosso" (#109 -> #83)

4-member girl group SPEED will soon be reuniting again

The 4-member girl group SPEED will soon be reuniting again. They will officially resume activity with an appearance on NTV's charity telethon "24 Hour Television" at the end of this month.

The group debuted in 1996 but broke up in 2000, at the height of their popularity, in order to pursue solo careers. They had two short-lived reunions in 2001 and in 2003. However, this time is said to be a complete return, with plans extending beyond 2009.

The decision to reunite started with this year's "24 Hour Television." SPEED previously hosted the program back in 1999, when they first met a young girl named Yui Nojiri who was battling spinal muscular atrophy. Last year, Nojiri reached her 20th birthday, and NTV producers decided to bring her and SPEED back for this year's show.

After learning about the idea, SPEED member Eriko Imai revealed that her own 3-year-old son is having hearing problems. Motivated to reach her son through song and to provide inspiration for other young children, she asked the other SPEED members to join her.

For "24 Hour Television," the group is scheduled to perform a 25-minute set at the Nippon Budokan on the afternoon of August 31. They plan to stay together for the time being, aiming to keep SPEED alive for at least 2009.

Swiss embassy in Seoul

Ara (who has for whatever reason dropped her last name, Go, professionally) was appointed a “Swiss Friends” goodwill cultural ambassador (i.e., promo rep) on August 18 at the Swiss embassy in Seoul.

She was greeted by Swiss ambassador Christian Hauswirth (who’s working the skeevy eye in one of the pics below, yeah?). Plus, at the ceremony, the article informs us, Ara partook of a “wonderful cowbell performance.”

Previous Swiss Friends have included Jang Nara, Choi Su-jong and wife Ha Hee-ra, Kim Tae-hee and brother Lee Wan, and Jo Han-sun.

“We Got Married” is now being accused of plagarism.

MBC Sunday Sunday Night segment, “We Got Married” is now being accused of plagarism. This plagarism claim was made by one Korean media and it spread like wildfire across the internet, invoking fierce discussions about it.

According to the claim, the basic concept amd some parts of “We Got Married” are very similar to a Japanese variety show called “Koisuru Hanikami” by TBS Japan in 2006. Both shows sets up male and female celebrities together and then hands them a mission to accomplish on that episode. The cameras follows the celebrities around the whole day plus having the same interview segments.

With regards to this, the PDs of “We Got Married” has denied the allegations and insisted that they have not watched “Koisuru Hanikami” before. But netizens are apparently not letting this go away so easily.

Most netizens gave their support to “We Got Married” expressing, “The program has already been airing for a long time, they claimed it’s plagarism because of one similar segment, this is ridiculous”, “Although the Olympics is good to watch, but we also want to watch We Got Married. Not only has it been pre-empted for the past weeks but now with these plagarism allegations, it’s quite a pity.”

There were netizens who were unhappy about this of course, “I thought the program was really innovative all this while. But now with these plagarism claims, it’s pretty disappointing”, “I thought the program was really good to watch, but since all these is copied, I don’t feel very good now”.

The good publicity and vibes of “We Got Married” has gone downhill in recent weeks with the non-show of the program for two consecutive weeks and possibly this weekend included. Will these plagarism claims hurt the show ratings even further considering that “Family Outing” is really catching up? Is Kang Soo Jung really a jinx? Stay tuned as the drama unfolds.

Denise Ho attended Megabox's "你 個 樣 樣"

Denise Ho attended Megabox's "你 個 樣 樣" event yesterday. She claims that her appearance is quite ordinary and it's easy to find people that looks similar to her. In the industry Candy Lo and Faith Yang Naiwen are often mentioned resembling her but unfortunatley they have never had the opportunity to all perform on stage together.

Denise laughs and says when she first joined the industry, an actress approached her and said she had seen her perform and liked her song. Denise felt the conversation was not as it seemed and she realised the actress must have mistaken her for Candy Lo. But she decided not to reveal anything and carried on. She states that this happened quite often and Wu Fung had often mistaken her for Candy Lo. She has got used to it now and that is why she rather not explain herself.

Forbidden Kingdom's Relativity negotiates to produce on smaller budget

The Variety entertainment news source reports that New Regency, a production company based at Fox, no longer has plans for the live-action Voltron film project, while another company, Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media, is negotiating to pick up the project. If Relativity Media signs onto the remake of the 1980s animated robot series, it will finance and produce the film with a lower budget and the use of technologies similar to those used in Zack Snyder's adaptation of Frank Miller's 300 comic. Relativity Media produced or co-produced over fifty projects in the last three years, including Ghost Rider, The Forbidden Kingdom, and Wanted.

Variety reported in April of 2007 that New Regency was negotiating for the rights to the project from the Mark Gordon Company, which is still involved with producers Mark Gordon and Jordan Wynn. The newspaper now reports that New Regency never completed the deal and could not reach an agreement with Voltron's Japanese rights holders. These talks began before the live-action Transformers film earned the fifth highest worldwide box office take of 2007, and before Warner Brothers began negotiating for the rights to another American adaptation of Japanese robots, Robotech.

If the Voltron project still goes forward, executive producer Bryan Zuriff and the other staffers will select a director by next week. Justin Marks (He-Man, Green Arrow) already wrote a script that resets the Lion Voltron story, which was based on the King of Beasts Golion anime, in post-apocalyptic New York City and Mexico after an alien invasion.
