Gu HyeSun has been officially cast as Makino Tsukushi in Koreas’ version of ‘Hana Yori Dango. You have no idea how surprised I was at the news.
I personally like Gu HyeSun as an actress I’ve seen her in two dramas, both funnily enough on KBS who are also airing this one.
Yet, she doesn’t exude the energy that Makino is meant to have. An official of Group 8 claimed though that “During the casting process HyeSun exhbited how varied her acting skills are. And she also has a history with being a female lead and can carry this drama well.” I hope your right Mr. Official, because you guys have made such a humongous deal out of this that this better be the best RomCom drama of the year.
Wow, Im relieved to hear the news, yet not satisfied. Quite a feeling.
What do you guys think, can pretty and sweet HyeSun make a glorious Fiery and headstrong Makino?
To our patient readers who have only shown us kindness… Sorry for the lack of updates, we will be more dedicated in future to giving more updates to the blog. Our forums is where we’ve mainly been updating, nevertheless we will be giving more attention to the blog from now on. So in that respect I will be rounding up some news in one post to get us a little up to date.
Choi JinShils Suicide
Another sad and depressing piece of news has rocked the entertainment industry. Choi JinShil the talented actress and mother of two was found dead on the morning of the 2nd of October. Ms. Choi had committed suicide in the bathroom and was discovered by her mother. Apparently, one of the causes of her suicide was lending money to the late Ahn JaeHwan, who also committed suicide last month. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family and two children, rest in peace Choi JinShil. I came to adore Choi JinShil for her role in 장밋빛 인생 (also known as My Rosy Life), and kept an eye out for her appearances in other dramas, she is truly a great loss to the acting community.
Cast for Hana Yori Dango FINALLY revealed!
Just as the last ounce of interest was about to leave, they announce the F4 lead characters, yet no news on the lead girl. Anyhow, earlier this week Group 8 kindly let us know who will be starring in their ever-so-special Korean version of the Japanese mange “Hana Yori Dango” (Boys over Flowers). F4s Domyouji Tsukasa will be Lee MinHo, Hanazawa Rui is Kim HyunJoong (shock horror), Nishikada Sojiroh is Kim Bum and Mimisaka Akira is Kim Joon. After all this time, you would think that they would blow us away with a high profile cast, nevertheless I am remotely interested after seeing the list. The acting I imagine will be somewhat decent considering two of the boys are actors, whatever happened to all those idols auditioning? What next? The female lead please.
BoA needs her lunch
Whether this entire song is a play on little Miss.Kwon BoAs name we don’t know, but BoAs debut song for the US has been leaked? Released? With SM and Kpop artists/entertainment companies I really don’t know anymore. Check out BoAs American debut single “Eat You Up” though on Toudou…
Damn is the chorus catchy
SeeYa are back as…?
That big bow and hair and wigs and clothes and….O_O
Balladeers go disco. SeeYa come back in to the limelight with a new single titled “Hot Girls”, with an unexpected twist of image. Their clothes remind me of Roller Discos, all that is missing is retro roller skates and SeeYa are good to go….straight in to the 70s. What a waste of talent really, I do not dig the outfits, the hair, the clothes and choreography, the song isn’t so bad though. Whatever happened though to the news of Nam GyuRi leaving SeeYa? To be honest, I actually was egging on the news, since I find the two other members are criminally underrated and I truly don’t get all the interest Nam GyuRi is getting. Anyhow, good luck to them and their promotions, it’s sure to do well since SeeYa are so popular.
Epik Highs new album
Epik High - 1분 1초 (feat. 타루) English subbed by TheAsianMission
Epik High and their music differs from Season to Season/album to album yet still remains the same, and that is what’s so special about them. I have Epik Highs new mini-album and it’s up to par as expected with the talented Trio. 1분 1초 (1 minute 1 second) is definitely worth a listen and a watch for the MV, the rewinding and artistic interpretation of the songs meaning is vintage Epik High and continues to impress you as time goes on. It almost seems like these guys make things so effortlessly. I can’t wait to see them perform, their stage presence is always so captivating.
On a final note, The 7-Day Relay has been cancelled for more up-to-date and regular posts.

Now, the only person I can ever truly be bias with is Seo TaiJi. This man can truly do no wrong, he is an artist in every sense of the word. And when you hear his music and listen to the words, it’s hard not to be moved.
The mini-album “Moai” had three new songs from this Music Legend/God, the light and airy feel of the two tracks besides “T’ikT’ak” made you want to enjoy the rest of the Summer on a road trip. ‘T’ikT’ak’ though, is a song that goes back to Seo TaiJis roots of rock and isn’t as “experimental” as the other two tracks.
The MV holds “heavy” meanings challenging todays society and was released on the 20th of this month, first in Movie theatres around the country. This was a joint project with the Japanese movie, “20th Century Boys” and even contained clips of the movie itself.
Yesterday The DBSK men came back in to action and today we have a Wonder Girls return, music video-wise.
Whenever these girls run off after their intense promotions, JYP makes sure they come back re-energized and smoking! A lot of work obviously goes in to these new concepts and the well-done piece of productions from Mr. Park JY himself. As much as some people can like or dislike JYP when he’s performing or posing for the camera, his talents as a producer are undeniable. Gotta though give the man credit for being able to poke fun at himself, and damn that toilet scene, did you have to?!
The clapping is very reminiscent of their last hit “So Hot“, nevertheless the new single “Nobody” can hold its own. And of course the Wonder Girls are as entertaining as ever.
I also liked the ballad teaser version
This idol comeback end of year bonanza is heating up and getting interesting. Good luck to all of those involved.
With all these dance tracks coming out, it’s hard to stay seated.
