Boys Over Flowers ...Again

It just won't stop. It's Boys Over Flowers / Boys Before Flowers once again, but this time in Japanese... sort of. Lee Min Ho and Kim Joon were featured in a photo shoot for Samsung Haptic, while the full F4 were featured in a yet unknown Japanese magazine.

The photo concepts for the Lee Min Ho and Kim Joon photo shoot looks similar to that of SS501 U R Man concepts. Maybe a bit of the Late 70's / Early 80's flavor mixed it. There's also a little bit of the bromance seen from the Super Junior photos.

Don't these poses look like those junior high school pictures the popular kids used to take with their friends at the mall after school? Well, maybe it was before some of your time. Anyways, check out the photos below.

SS501’s YoungSaeng talks about his friendship with DBSK and Suju

TRANS
People Often Compare SS501 with TVXQ
I don’t think of anyone as my rival, but people see TVXQ sunbae, who are now at the highest position as our rivals. Of course, we feel good, feel honoured.
TVXQ has released a lot of albums and has risen to a very high position, but we are just preparing to rise.
This is common in the music industry. Just like H.O.T sunbae and Sechskies sunbae, perhaps because of rivals, it makes everything more meaningful.

Very Close to TVXQ and Super Junior
I’ve been close to TVXQ and Super Junior from the very beginning, I think the viewers all know that. I was a trainee together with TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho, Hero Jaejoong, Choikang Changmin, Super Junior’s YeSung and HeeChul.

Choi Si Won’s Classmate
I attended the same school with Choi SiWon and was even his classmate. I was really close to him at that time. He had to go to China under his company’s orders, but he would call me. In the end, we both debuted at almost the same time. We always played together when we were trainees, but meeting him now feels so weird.

A lot of New Artists Debuting
I don’t really know how to say this but a lot of strong, charming artists are debuting. Other artists start to feel stressed and work harder. I often look back to when I debuted to see the difference. Now, everytime we see younger artists, it brings comfort to us, it inspires us to work harder, (smiles dorkily XD) thank you!

Eternal Rival???
I don’t like seeing anyone as my rival. I don’t go figuring out who’s my rival and what I need to do to be better than them. Naturally, my biggest rival is myself. I think about surpassing myself, I don’t want to beat anyone but myself. So I don’t see anyone as my rival. Moreover, we are a group, so we have to work together. Although having rivals is a good thing, but overemphasizing isn’t. So don’t think about this too much.

Lee Min Ho Interview With Vogue Girl

Vogue Girl met with Lee Min Ho for an interview along with a photo shoot in London, England.

Vogue Girl (VG): Your blood type is A. (Type As) abide well by social norms, have a timid side, and are perfectionists. Is your personality similar to that? Is it not?
Lee Min Ho (LMH): My personality is not like a type A. First of all, I can’t become a perfectionist, I’m not shy, and I don’t maintain social norms well either (laughter). Neither am I that precise.

VG: Are you a morning person or an owl-like night person ?
LMH: I’m like an owl. To the extent that the oriental medicine doctor said that my physical constitution doesn’t allow me to use energy in the daytime. Although due to my schedule, there have been occasions recently that make me a morning person.

VG: What does the owl Lee Min Ho usually do at night?
LMH: It’s not possible now, but before I’d go out with friends to eat good food or play [computer] games at home.

VG: If some time frees up in the middle of the afternoon, do you do outdoor activities like basketball or soccer or play games indoors?
LMH: It depends on [my] condition. I like sports so if [my] condition’s good I guess I’d play basketball or soccer but if it seems bothersome, I play games or watch movies. If I were to choose now…, I like activities I can do at home.

VG: Which acting style would you like to adopt – Choi Min Sik’s way of melting into heartbreaking, wretched characters or Song Kang Ho’s way of making the character his own to the point that it’s provoking/detestable.
LMH: I think it’d be half-half? If [I] put in effort to melt into the character, wouldn’t it become my own? Even if I think I’m wholly true to the character, I think my [own] image would still appear. Because I’m human.

VG: If you were to choose a movie to dissolve stress, which would you watch between a blockbuster action movie, mystery crime thriller, and a slapstick comedy?
LMH: Mysteries or suspense are what I like but if it was to relieve stress, it’d likely be a blockbuster movie.

VG: Then what’s the most recent film you’ve seen?
LMH: It’s been too long since I’ve been to a movie theatre. Since A Frozen Flower was the last film I saw. I watched with my manager and stylist. The audience consisted only of us three. I was origally going to go with just my manager, but if it had been so, it would have caused big trouble from the embarrassment.

VG: What if an offer for a character like Zo In Sung’s in A Frozen Flower came in?
LMH: I think it would be a bit difficult right now. Although I think I could consider it after some time goes by and I gain experience.

VG: Which is the movie you’ve thought of seeing out between the recent topics of conversation – director Park Chan Wook’s Thirst or Bong Joon Ho’s Mother.
LMH: If I were to choose just one out of the two people, will I…, be ok (laughter)? I think I’m on the side of Thirst.

VG: They say gatherings between close friends are divided by two types (of people) – those who liven up the atmosphere by being loud and making people laugh and in contrast, those who see the appropriate, opportune responses and laugh. Which side are you on?
LMH: It varies widely depending on the circumstance. With my friends from middle school or high school, I’m the former, but as I began acting and entered [that] social life, I’ve realized that there are times when it’s necessary to be the latter. Now I’m almost closer to the latter.

VG: Is the type of opposite sex that catches your eye like Gianna Jun or Song Hye Kyo? Or like Kim Tae Hee?
LMH: I’ve said a few times before, but Song Hye Kyo’s style.

VG: If a girl who is your ideal type appears in front of your eyes, do you just look ahead and make a move or do you send telepathy while staying away and make her approach (you).
LMH: I think I’d send telepathy first. It’s good to have be cautious in love.

VG: Where would you proceed to – a gathering with close friends that you haven’t seen in a long while or an urgent (sudden) summons from your girlfriend?
LMH: Barring if you have a girlfriend that you can’t live without seeing even for one day, wouldn’t you usually go to a friends gathering where you can see many people at once? When I’m busy like I am these days, I particularly need to and miss meeting up with friends.

VG: Would you prefer Tokyo, Japan or Paris, France if you were to leave on a trip alone?
LMH: Paris, France, since I’ve never been.

VG: Is the weather you like rainy or sunny?
LMH: It’s the cloudy weather preceding rainfall. I can’t stand when it’s hot because of the bright sun, and I don’t like rainy days because it’s damp. That’s why I also like the cool season of autumn.

VG: Is your head clearer at 2pm or 2am?
LMH: I’m like an owl, so 2am.

VG: Which musical artist are you most curious about nowadays, between Girls’ Generation (SNSD) and Kiha & the Faces (장기하와 얼글들)?
LMH: Kiha & the Faces. They’re really fascinating. There was a time I watched a video clip [of them] and they really caught my eye.

VG: Do you tend to listen to a song you like continually for several months or do you diligently check for new song updates?
LMH: I listen to a song I like on repeat but I get sick of it quickly. I listen to it until I get sick of it. Just like how I listened to SNSD’s “Gee” too much until a bit ago, which is why my answer to the previous question was Kiha & the Faces.

VG: Are the shoes you enjoy wearing white-as-new hightops or faded sneakers?
LMH: Faded sneakers, although fans and the people around me think that I’d wear white hightops a lot.

VG: In your closet, are there more black jeans or blue jeans?
LMH: Black jeans. Not only jeans but I mostly wear only the colours black, white, and grey.

VG: When you think of the words, “cool guy”, does George Clooney wearing a fitted suit come to mind or Johnny Depp in vintage jeans and a hat come to mind?
LMH: Men are [for] suits. Therefore, George Clooney.

VG: After trying it out directly, which did you feel “that suits me surprisingly well” about between Gu Jun Pyo’s curly hair and the dark, smoky eye make-up in the beer CF?
LMH: Not so much that it suited me well but I’ve recently gained an interest in new styles such as smoky eye make-up. And it was a fun experience to film with that appearance.

VG: Tonight, if you could just see one production, what would you choose between a musical or a play?
LMH: I think I’d see a play. I haven’t been able to go often since the beginning of Boys Over Flowers. The last [theatrical] production I saw was From the Bottom starring Kim Su Ro sunbae (senior) in the middle of filming [BOF].

VG: Is the sport you like to watch, soccer or baseball?
LMH: Soccer. I played when I was young, you see. For some reason, if there’s a sport that men like, I think they dislike the [sport] matches that oppose it.

VG: Which event are you confident in between the 100 metre dash and a long distance race.
LMH: 100m dash. I can’t run with perseverance.

VG: Does your sense of humour lean towards real variety show Infinity Challenge or comedy show Gag Concert?
LMH: Real variety. In the past, I had fun watching the show Survivor, where the last person that remains on a remoted island wins.

VG: In your opinion, is the best harmony between ‘beer and chicken’ or ’soju and pork belly’?
LMH: [This is] difficult…(laughter). Alcohol-wise, I like beer but I like pork belly way better so [my answer] would be soju and pork belly. I’m not good at drinking alcohol. Four shots of soju is my limit.

VG: Do you prefer the playing of an electronic guitar or an acoustic guitar?
LMH: Acoustic guitar.

VG: Which animal would you like to raise as a pet – a dog or a cat?
LMH: I prefer dogs but these days I don’t have time to take care of one so I think it might be ok to raise a cat that doesn’t feel loneliness.

VG: If you come across a baby or an animal on the street, do you tend to say something or touch it, or do you just pass by?
LMH: It depends on the situation. In general if I see a baby, I tend to affectionately touch its cheek or foot.

VG: When shopping, do you make comparisons multiple times or purchase immediately if it appeals to you?
LMH: I tend to buy as soon as soon as it catches my eye.

VG: When sleeping, do you sleep lying on your side or on your stomach?
LMH: I sleep lying on my side or my stomach. I sleep most often on my side, but don’t sleep lying properly on my back.

VG: Which do you remember better – your friends’ phone numbers or movie leading actors’ names?
LMH: Movie leads’ names.

VG: Do you like white rice or do you like mixed rice?
LMH: White rice. The reason being that it just tastes better. Meat side dishes suit it best.

VG: Do you like to be seated in a corner far from the entrance of a cafe or by a window?
LMH: A corner seat in a quiet space. That was comfortable from a while ago.

VG: Do you drink quietly while sitting at a club or do you enjoy dancing on the floor?
LMH: As I drink a little bit of alcohol, I dance timidly (laughter).

VG: If there’s something like a missing button, loose thread, or small stain does it consume your nerves the entire day or do you forget about it?
LMH: It completely consumes my nerves.

VG: On a day when the forecast calls for rain, do you make sure to take an umbrella when you leave or do you just go out?
LMH: I don’t take an umbrella.

VG: Do you write a journal or diary?
LMH: No.

VG: Do you suppress your tears if possible or do you cry when you feel like it?
LMH: I suppress [them].

VG: Is your outlook on life one that sets plans (for the future) to abide by or is it happily living a full life in the present?
LMH: I’m devoted to today. I don’t really think about tomorrow and I tend to leave things to flow [naturally]. That’s why I need people around me that set up long-run plans and guide me all the more. Everything tends to be impromptu. Even with trips I like to leave by suddenly deciding, “Let’s go!”, rather than scheduling [ahead of time].

VG: If possible, would you want to stay in your twenties, or do you think it’d be nice to quickly go into your thirties?
LMH: I want to remain in my twenties. Forever. Continually.

Kim Hyun Joong: "hooked on dancing", on the eve of Asian tour in July

Sunday May 21, 2009 Korea

Kim Hyun Joong has been infatuated with dancing while preparing for the Asia Tour concert starting in July. He and SS501 other members had returned to Korea from a one week long trip to LA, after performing for the Hollywood Bowl concert. During the performance in LA, Hyun Joong had met and consulted new dance moves from a famous dance group. Although the duration of meeting was short, he managed to practise and learn some of the well-known American style dance moves.

SS501's entertainment company said, " The moment Hyun Joong returned back to Korea, he immediately starts to practise dacing in the dance studio on 14th morning. During the period when he went to Japan for Boys Before FLowers fan meeting, he also paid special attention to Japanese style of dancing.

Kim Hyun Joong explained that the reason for him paying close attention to the different styles of dancing was so that he could demonstrate a variety of dance movements, different from what he used to dance, during the Asia Tour Concert, which starts from South Korea, and proceed to Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and other Asian countries.

After the recent release of SS501 second japanese album, All My Love, SS501's official activites in Japan are also approaching. Because the activities and public performances are just around the corner, Hyun Joong expressed that he is very nervous.

SS501 will return to Korea on the 18th to continue with their promotional activities for their album, All My Love, and prepare for their oncoming concert.

Korean "F4" to visit RP

Sunday May 17, 2009 Philippines

The four male lead stars of a hit Korean telenovela, “Boys Over Flowers,” are coming to the Philippines.

Korean superstars Lee Min-Ho (Jun Pyo), Kim Hyun-Joong (Ji Hoo), Kim Bum (So Yi Jeong) and Kim Joon (Song Woo Bin), or popularly called "F4," will visit the country, “The Buzz” host Kris Aquino announced Sunday.

There is no date yet as to when the stars will arrive in the Philippines but Aquino said it is going to be “soon.”

Based on the best-selling Japanese manga "Hana Yori Dango" by Yoko Kamio, the romantic story was first adapted in Taiwan as the phenomenal hit drama “Meteor Garden,” which aired on ABS-CBN in 2003. It starred Asia’s sensational boyband F4.

"Meteor Garden" remains to be one of the most successful Asianovelas aired on Philippine television, with an average rating of 42.9 percent in mega Manila and a nationwide average rating of 62 percent.

South Korea's "Boys Over Flowers," meanwhile, garnered an average rating of 30 percent. The show had a great impact on Korean pop culture as sales of men's cosmetics and fashion items skyrocketed and the female lead's hairstyle ruled the fashion world.

The Korean remake of "F4" also launched the careers of the four Asian superstars.

Aquino said the producers of the Korean show were grateful that, like Meteor Garden, it also became a hit in the Philippines.

Starting Monday, “Boys Over Flowers” will be aired at 6 p.m. before “TV Patrol World.” It takes over the timeslot of “Pinoy Bingo Night,” which will now be aired after “Tayong Dalawa.”

TVXQ Jaejoong to open his own shop

Thursday May 14, 2009 Korea

The store titled an uncreative, "Crebeau-JEFF" for "Creating Beauty-Just Especially for Face" is a cross between a spa and a beauty supply shop. Though personally, I think the prices are a little steep, the store features a variety of beauty products from facial foam cleanser and sunscreen to shampoo and even a spa comforter set! As for the look of the shop... all I've got to say is that, that toilet is pretty epic... though I don't know anyone who would have the courage to sit on something so cute when their about to do something so incredibly NOT cute!

The store's mission statement featuring beautiful Engrrish:
'JEFF' is short for 'Just Especially for Face'. Crebeau stands for the meaning of white, beautiful face, not just about the face, but also for the whole body of skin to look like reborn. We are looking forward to servicing you.

SS501 Introduces A Capella Song in 2nd Japanese Album

Thursday May 14, 2009 Korea


The five members of SS501 are back together to launch their activities in Japan.

Until recently, the members had been busy with their separate activities: Kim Hyun-joong was filming "Boys Over Flowers," Park Jung-min was appearing in the musical "Grease," and Kim Hyung-jun, Kim Kyu-jong and Heo Young-saeng performed under the name "Triple S."

SS501's second Japanese album, which is slated for release on May 13 and entitled "All My Love," shows off a more mature side of the members' vocal skills.

All 13 songs included in the album are performed in Japanese. The new album contains a song that sends a message of hope to a loved one; the ballad "Mermaid," performed by Park Jung-min; the single "Lucky Days," which entered the Oricon weekly chart last year, and "Get Along," which was strongly recommended by the CEO of SS501's agency, DSP Media.

The title track, "All My Love," had drawn the spotlight even before the album's release because it is SS501's first a capella song. Park Jung-min said he and his band mates doubted their ability to perform the song when they first heard about it, but at the same time they believed they had to try it. Kim Hyun-jung, the leader of SS501, said the group practiced hard to perfectly convey the warmth of the song.

On May 17, SS501 will hold a handshaking event for its fans at the TFT Hall in Tokyo to mark the release of its new album and arouse interest in it.

On August 13, the group will hold two concerts at the Budokan Hall for the first time as part of its Asian concert tour.

Ethan Ruan defeats Korean F4, making Korea's lose in the battle between Taiwan and Korea. Fans are trying hard to help promote on the web, while criticizing CTV for cutting too many scenes, horrible Mandarin dubbing, and switching insert songs, making lose its original flavor.

It's not the first time the dubbing has been criticized when Korean dramas are broadcasted in Taiwan. Although the dubbing is to service the majority of viewers, due to cultural differences, the Mandarin dubbing often hinders viewers from getting into the drama. Viewer, Jen says, "Lee Min Ho's sexy and raspy voice is gone...Jan Di's voice sounds fake, and isn't the voice dub for Kim Hyun Joong too girly?"

In addition, the insert songs are different from the original broadcasted version in Korea, which has lead to big disapproval from the audience shouting out, "No feel". A netizen wrote, "I'm very disappointed after watching the first episode. I think this is too much. I was already very upset with the fact that it's dub, but I never thought that they would also change the insert songs as well." The viewers are also questioning as to why the scenes where Goo Joon Pyo was picking out shoes and when the three students were sent to pull a prank on Geum Jan Di after being beaten with golf sticks were cut.

In regards to the netizens' protest, CTV expresses that what they broadcasted was what was given to them by GTV. They did not make any edits or switch insert songs.

GTV explains that the overseas version of Korean dramas are often not the same as the original, and that they have really not made any edits to the episodes.

Kim HyunJoong, Park ShinHye “Became closer being drenched with 10,000 litres of water together”

Tuesday May 12, 2009 Korea

Pretty boy Kim HyunJoong and lively Park Shinhye playing on the street and enjoying their date? By just looking at their smiles, this couple playing with the cool water would catch one’s attention. This is one scene from their TV commercial for DK (Dynamic Kin), a carbonated drink from Coca-cola.

This DK commercial is filmed at the end of April, where Kim HyunJoong and Park ShinHye presents themselves as the ‘Refreshing DK couple’ in the commercial concept and had to express a refreshing content of ‘Refresh with fresh natural lemon lime and explosive refreshness!’’

In this DK commercial, everything that Kim HyunJoong and Park ShinHye touches with carbonated dink DK will burst into cool refreshing water from all over, establishing a refreshed feeling. Despite the exhaustion of their busy schedules, both enjoying the filming, Kim HyunJoong is always as enthusiastic with everything, bright and lively Park ShinHye is in all smiles from the start till the end of the filming, playing around with ‘Come and catch me~’ and running around in the water sprays.

In order to film Kim HyunJoong and Park ShinHye being splashed with cool water from all directions, they mobilized a tank truck filled with 10,000 litres of water to get the effect for the filming for many hours. In the chilly weather, they looked after each other so as not to catch a cold and it made the other people envious of them.

Park ShinHye was awkward from the start of this commercial filming, she had no rest and had to continuously move around, and her liveliness was seen throughout the filming.

The last scene of the filming is Kim HyunJoong blocking the water with DK and closing up on Park ShinHye and then both fading behind a shade. Being splashed by the water the whole day long and having an enjoyable time, Park ShinHye has become friendlier without her initial awkwardness and finally ended the commercial filming with almost not much NG for the kiss scene.

Kim HyunJoong and Park ShinHye said “Because we are already exhausted from our busy schedules, we were worried and nervous about how we could express the commercial concept of ‘Refreshing DK couple’. We hope that we can bring refreshed feeling to the people who felt exhausted physically and mentally due to their busy work by watching us, so we played with the water and ran around, play around and enjoyed the filming.”

Carbonated drink DK commercial will be released in June.

Kim Bum in New Drama with Son Dam Bi

Tuesday May 12, 2009 Korea

After completing all his movie projects on hand, Kim Bum will next be embarking on a new drama project together with Son Dambi and Joo Jin Mo for SBS Dream.

Son Dambi, more known for her singing and whose Hollywood movie went up in smoke, will make her acting debut in this drama instead. Dambi will be acting as the daughter of a mixed martial arts academy director.

Filming for Dream will commence soon, with the broadcast set for September.

========================

Kim Bum’s had pretty good luck with projects — Unstoppable High Kick, East of Eden, Boys Before Flowers — and we’ll see if he can keep the streak going with his new drama. He’s just announced his next role, in the SBS Monday-Tuesday drama Dream [드림], which also stars Joo Jin-mo (200 Pound Beauty) and pop singer Sohn Dam-bi.

In Dream, Kim Bum will shed his pretty-boy image for a tough guy who spent time in a juvenile correctional facility and now practices mixed martial arts. Because the role calls for lots of skin-baring scenes (topless fighting Kim Bum?!?), he’s busy working out to get into top shape. The drama tells the story of the young man’s journey alongside a sports agent (Joo Jin-mo) as both struggle to overcome hardship and succeed. Sohn Dam-bi plays the daughter of a martial arts director
