[k news] bits and pieces

news of hallyu stars buying property abroad is the topic of talk in some fora today. i read that the soon to be married kwon sang woo [stairways to heaven], bought a penthouse apartment in australia for 1.8m dollars [source : ReviewStar dated Jul 23]. according to ksw, he bought the property 2 years ago.

another hallyu stars who was reported to have bought property in LA is jang dong gun [all about eve, taegukgi, brotherhood of war].

with the money they are earning, i believe that it's alright for them property abroad. but would they be able to live in the property they bought when their bread and butter is in their home country? or could they be thinking of it as their retirement home?

again, it makes me wonder, could yong joon also be thinking of buying property outside of korea?

in another news...

the teaser poster for the movie 'rough cut' [originally known as 'movie is movie'] which stars kang ji hwang [hong gil dong] and so ji sub [i'm sorry i love you] was out yesterday. the movie is set to be released in seoul on september 11.

'rough cut' is the first movie of sjs in seoul after his release from the military almost 2 years ago. and it's kjh's follow-up project after the success of the drama 'hong gil dong'.

'rough cut' is a movie that revolves around a gangster character, kang pae [sjs] and a reckless actor, soo ta [kjw].

btw, did you know so ji sub and kang ji hwang invested some money in this low budget movie? hmm, could he be learning from the 'boss'. likewise, the sponsor for the promotional shirt is 'dressed to kill' and the wardrobe that they used in this film is being endorsed by ji sub, sieg fahrenheit.
