The one (더완)

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:31:01 -0500

I have recently been listening this great Korean singer's music and I am totally loving it.

Most of his songs I got from OSTs; I found very little information about his music, but couldn't find anywhere any personal details, not even his real name.
Does anyone know his real name or where I can find more details about him?

Lee Min Ho vs Kim Hyun Joong vs Kim Joon vs Kim Bum

Thu, 14 May 2009 06:31:38 -0500

If Taiwan has Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Vaness Wu and Ken Zhu, then Korea has its own version of "them".

Here in the Philippines, Boys Over Flowers just aired last monday and the "F4 fever" is back! Lee Min Ho played as Koo (also pronounced as 'Gu') Joon Pyo (leader of F4), Kim Hyun Joong played as Yoon Ji Hoo (quiet type), Kim Bum played as So Ee Jung (playboy) and Kim Joon played as Song Oh Bin (neutral friend).

I like Joon Pyo

how about you?!?

The drama first aired on January 5, 2009 on KBS as a Monday-Tuesday miniseries.

Do you know any korean celebrity which has a college degree?

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 10:22:00 -0500

Knowing that Kim Sun Ah just graduated last February 18, 2009 in Kyung Hee University with a degree in Theater Studies(Arts), makes me feel very proud and inspired as her fan (though it's kinda late for her age ). I'm just wondering if there are other celebrities like her who values schooling/studies as much as they value their (acting/singing) career. So, do you know any korean celebrity which has a college degree?

Please help lift the ban on Park Shin Yang

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 13:01:38 -0600

Hello there!

If you don't already know, Korean actor Park Shin Yang has been banned by the Corea Drama Production Association since Dec 5, 2008 - he is permanently suspended from future TV drama work. Reason? Last year, Park Shin Yang sued the production company for unpaid wages on his engagement in the drama "Money's Warfare" bonus episodes, and he only received half the money contracted. He is taking legal actions to claim what he's been promised of. Now he got a lifetime ban. Regardless of the amount owed, filing a lawsuit is his legal rights, correct?

You can do something to help, yes you can!

We Got Married First Season Couples Thread

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 19:37:42 -0600

Hosts: Lee HyukJae, Jung HyungDon, Park MyungSoo

[First Season Couples]

Alex and Shin Ae -- they are known as the "movie couple". Their relationship from beginning to end makes you wish you had that kind of relationship with your lover or spouse. Eventually, Alex will leave the show around episode 8 to concentrate on his solo album, My Vintage Romance. Within 2 months time, they will reunite again for the first time. Will it be the same for the both of them again?

Andy and Solbi -- this couple is known as the "dorky" couple. They like expressing their love for each other in public and often get cuddly within living with each other. You would enjoy this couple's company right from the start.

Jun Hyung Don and Saori -- they're known as the funny odd couple. How they quarrel and interact with each other will get you laughing from the beginning to end. Lee HwiJae is the lazy guy that never likes doing anything but sleep. Which is why he known as the, "Fat" guy. While, Jo YeoJeong tries her hardest to get her "husband" to spend time with her. He would abandon her.

Eventually, they will get replaced by Lee HwiJae and Jo YeoJeong during episode 9.

HwangBo and Kim HyunJoong -- they are known as the comedic couple. Hyun Joong is always making jokes and she would always laugh at everything he says. There will be times you'll see her laughing so hard, she would fall out of her seat.

In some way, this couple might make you feel they're more like brothers and sisters than a married couple.

CrownJ and Seo InYoung -- they are known as the cute quarreling couple. CrownJ acts and dresses like a rapper because of this, you often will see him interacting in English with his wife, InYoung. They often quarrels and disagree in a lot of things but eventually in the end, they will make up for it.

[Temporary Replacement]

Lee HwiJae and Jo YeoJeong -- they are known as the odd couple too! They can't seem to bridge the gap between their 10-year age difference. You also might find that they don't got any chemistry between each other because their likes are total opposites. In example, Lee HwiJae's music like the oldies and wifey would love the "current" music! On the other hand, they're pretty supportive with each other.

Choi Jin Young (39) & Lee Hyun Ji (21) -- The concept for them is to see how they overcome the age difference. If you thought the 9 year gap between former couple, Lee Hwi Jae (37) and Jo Yeo Jeong (28) was big, wait till you experience the difference of 17 years with this new addition to the program.

UPDATE:
Unfortunately, due to tragic event of Choi Jin Young's sister, Choi Jin Shil committing suicide. The couple of Choi and Hyun Ji will no longer be part of the show!

WGM: Do you think any of the WGM Couples will ever become a real couple?
