Junjin meets his match in Lee Shi Young

Lee Shi Young – who caught the attention of viewers with her role as Oh Minji in Boys Before Flowers – made her appearance in MBC’s We Got Married Seollal Special as Junjin’s ‘bride’.

On the episode aired on 25th Jan, new couple Junjin and Lee Shi Young completed their ‘wedding ceremony’. Junjin, who mistakenly thought that his ‘bride’ would be Kim Shin Young, was unable to hide his pleasant surprise when he saw the attractive Lee Shi Young instead.

However Junjin, member of 10-year group Shinhwa, was driven to exasperation by newcomer Lee Shi Young who has been in showbiz for only a year, creating quite a interesting scene for the viewers.

During the solo interview, Lee Shi Young said, “He doesn’t really have the kind of looks that I like, I prefer someone like (comedians) Jang Dong Min or Ahn Sang Tae. But, he’s not bad too.”

After the ceremony, Lee Shi Young brought Junjin back to her home, and said that as her father always cooked for her, she wanted Junjin to make her some curry too. Without saying another word, Junjin headed straight for the kitchen.

While Junjin was taking a tour of Lee Shi Young’s home, he gave her a high score for her guitar performance. But Junjin was constantly feeling the pressure from Lee Shi Young, and in order to establish some degree of a husband’s authority, he brought her to the dance studio, ultimately he ended up giving her a thumbs-up for her dancing skills instead.

Right until the end where the two of them had to decide whether or not to continue living as a ‘married couple’, it was clear that they shared good feelings about each other.

Sung Yu Ri takes on her first movie

Posted in korean ent. news, sung yuri with tags on January 26, 2009 by irene

Korean actress Sung Yuri will be playing a leading role in a movie for the first time! According to a staff from her management agency Sidus HQ, Sung Yuri has reached an agreement with the production company of “Rabbit and Lizard” and will be playing the leading role in this upcoming movie.

This is not the first time Sung Yuri has participated in a movie though. She acted in both “Emergency 19″ and “How to Keep My Love” in the past, but they were either a cameo or supporting role. A movie leading role is the first time for her.

The plot of “Rabbit and Lizard” revolves around the life of a girl (Sung Yuri) who was adopted by a foreign family at a very young age. She grew up overseas and only returns to South Korea after 23 years in search for her own identity.

To prepare for the movie, Sung Yuri has taken the effort to study the script everyday. “Rabbit and Lizard”, which will be directed by Director Joo Ji Hong, will begin shooting in February.

Definitely a busy first-half for Sung Yuri as she has to make transverse between “Swallow The Sun” and this, but I’m sure she will be able to cope with it.

Infinite Challenge takes on Boys Before Flowers

Posted in boys over flowers, korean drama with tags on January 24, 2009 by irene

The emergence of the Infinite Challenge F4 has captured the attention of Korean netizens.

On Jan 22, once news was released that MBC’s Infinite Challenge members will be doing a parody of KBS hit drama Boys Before Flowers, the Internet was abuzz with commotion.

Photos of the cast of Boys Before Flowers were also combined with images of the IC members to form hilarious parodies of the actual characters.

The parodies cleverly weaves the IC members’ profiles into the original characters. For example, female protagonist Geum Jandi becomes ‘Geum Soodi’ (Park Myung Soo), the daughter of a fried chicken shopowner, and enters Infinite High School with her singing talent instead of swimming skills.

Gu Joonpyo now becomes ‘Gu Jinpyo’ (Junjin), part of the Hallyu conglomerate Shinhwa, who ends up at Infinite High. Original character Gu Joonpyo is fluent in multiple languages as he lived abroad, but ‘Gu Jinpyo’ can speak at least 5 languages with his concert tour experience.

Yoon Jihoo, played by SS501 member Kim Hyun Joong, is now ‘Yoon Suk Hoo’ (Yoo Jaesuk), the heir to the Grasshopper Conglomerate. In addition, ‘So Yi Chul’ (Noh Hong Chul) and ‘Song Ha Bin’ (Jung Joon Ha) completes the F4 grouping.

Netizens’ comments include ‘the person behind the parody is a genius’, ‘the effects are just spectacular, it’s really fun’.

For the parody of the drama itself, Park Myung Soo is slated to play the role of Gu Joonpyo, Yoo Jaesuk as Yoon Jihoo, with Jung Joon Ha and Noh Hong Chul completing F4. Female lead Geum Jandi is expected to be played by Junjin, and Jung Hyung Don as Jandi’s friend Ga-eul.
