Not long time ago we read our Korean friends are worried about how bad KDramas are doing in China … so they started their reinforcement plans on the Chinese-speaking regions … we saw they dragged Kim Jeong Hoon off his last screen in Witch Amusement with his desktop computer and even stopped his music promotions in Japan to cast him off with a Dual Chinese-Korean drama production. Then joined him with Jang Nara as publicity ambassadors of Korean dramas at the Shanghai New International Expo Center in China. Not long time ago Ivy, Kangta, Son Ho Young, Mina also had Hallyu concerts in China! Now here comes the new story about Kangta! KBS annonuced that Kangta will appear in a special TV drama produced by Chinese broadcaster CCTV. SM Entertainment, said the six-episode drama will mark China’s National Day on October 1. Here is the story-line if you are interested …. I swear you can totally guess the story by yourself but here it is … drama is about three sisters and their adventures in romance. Kangta will play a top Korean singer named An Chil-hyun (Kang’s real name), who loses his memory after an accident!!!!!! Didn’t i tell you? He showed up at the announcement of the drama’s production by appearing in a traditional costume with his partner, Huang Sheng Yi, which happened to be surprising to the press!
Also let’s not forget on JunJin from Shinhwa who spent the last couple months promoting himself as a singer in China! … the latest on him is his debuting news on his first Korean Drama BYulSoonGum (a 20 episodes drama!) JunJin has done other projects like “Let’s go to the Beach” (HaeBYunoologayo), Nine Tailed Fox and “Nonstop4″! Junjin’s Character in this story is said to be about a man named KimSaYool(JunJin) that has to give payback to a young woman who killed his father! So sad huh?
and finally speaking of Hallyu in China brings only one pop boy band in mind!! That is Super Junior …. according to Sohu.com on July 20 the boys attended a charity concert held in Shanghai and only ten of the 13 Super Junior boys made it to the show. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross Society of China. The Shanghai show was the last leg of a three-city charity event jointly sponsored by Cyworld.com.cn and Sohu.com. The show stopped in Beijing and Guangzhou in mid-June. Participating musicians included Chinese American singer and songwriter Lee-Hom Wang (insert a HEART here please *giggling*) and Jun Jin.
Let’s finish this post with one more news on Super Junior. It was kind of sad that Lee Teuk and GyuHyun got into a car accident couple months ago. The accident also made these two in a greater loss, due to their very bad health condition, LeeTeuk had to give his role in the new movie “Pretty Boy Terror Event Series” to Heechul. And even worse Gyuhyun wasn’t able to be in the movie because he was in more worse condition than LeeTeuk! Hopefully suju will make another movie after this and all 13 members could be in it~
