Yong Joon showed up

Baefans have been wondering since the announcement of Mgr Yang's wedding last month if Bae Yong Joon will be attending the wedding ceremony of one of the directors of Boundaries of Forest and one of his best buddies, Mgr. Yang.

Apparently, today a little over past 5:30pm Korean time Yong Joon walked at the reception hall wearing dark glasses [which i hope he had removed], dart suit with dark see-through shirt.

Here are photos from the reception hallway.

Some of the stars who attended the wedding are 2AM who sand 'Confession', Park Ji Bin [Boys Over Flowers], Lee Bo Young, Lee Na Young, Lee Ji Ah, Kim Bo Seong. Aside from 2AM and Kim Bo Seong, the names i wrote are all under contract with Boundaries of Forest [BOF].

;

There are more photos from other portals but won't be posting all since i'm having a hard time saving them and some are just the same as the others.

Btw, Yong Joon has dropped a lot of weight. And I just read on BYJGallery that he has lost another 10kg. Not sure how and why, but I'm guessing it's probably because of working too hard for the book.

p.s. it's nice seeing Mr. Shin once more. The chubby guy always at his side. He is his main security man and he's so nice.

p.p.s. i didn't see yong joon's beautiful smile in any of the photos.

Quick News on Bae Yong Joon & Mgr Yang

I had a busy morning and it's only now that I'm checking all the regular sites that I visit everyday.

I actually read this news yesterday but didn't quite took it seriously until I read the English translation of lynnzhoulily which she shared on BYJ thread @ soompi.

Chnese to English by lynnzhoulily on BYJ thread @ soompi

Snowkin on loveyongjoon shared that according to Innolife.net, BYJ has begun a life in seclusion till the end of Sept. Before his Japan trip in this Sept, BYJ will focus on his travel book for the final stage and he will no longer be available by cell phone. Only one manager will accompany him and if there is any emergency, he will be able to get connected through public phone.

I guess that Yong Joon is already in the final leg of the book that will be published in September. This also means that there'll be less news about him in the coming days.

Some might ask, who is Mgr Yang? Mrg Yang is one of the Directors of Boundaries of Forest [BOF] and a close friend of Yong Joon. The reason why I'm including him in this post is because there's this news going around Bae community that Mgr Yang is going to get hitched on August 21.

What's the big fuss, some might ask? Well, it just so happen that in Bae community, Mrg Yang is the 2nd most famous man. He's nice, young and quite handsome. He's also friends to many other stars too.

With the news of him getting marriend, there are rumours that there is a tour company that organizing a tour for the important day of Mgr Yang and that the tour is already sold out.

I'm sure many Mgr Yang 'fans' are quite shocked to read this news. I wonder how they're taking this. ^^ Hmm, Yokee do you still visit my blog? bb, 'your' mgr yang is getting hitched. ^_^ Only Yong Joon is left.

i wish we could taste that kimchi!

thanks to tomato99 for translating and sharing mgr. yang's latest blog entry on byj's quilt.

i bet, if the kimchi that yong joon made will be sold, it'll break so many records. ^^

Dear family, annyong　hasaeyo.
This is Yang Geun Hwan.

These days, Bae Yong Joon is devoting his energy to the book to introduce Korea.
He personally visits the pla*ces where he plans to introduce,
he would meet and interview Korea’s craftsman for the book.

Other day, he learnt how to make kimchi (kimjang) from a famous kimchi maker,
and he even made homemade kimchi himself.
‘Kimjang’ is Korea’s winter tradition to prepare kimchi you eat during winter season.

Bae Yong Joon gave me kimchi that he made himself.
This is just between us, I did not have high expectations about its taste,
but it was really delicious!
I even thought, I want to share it with everyone.

Ji Sub @ the red carpet

Last night while watching the 29th Blue Dragon Awards aside from So Ji Sub I was looking for Mgr. Yang. I didn’t see him anywhere near Ji Sub last night so I assumed that he didn’t go wit Ji Sub since I also didn’t see Ji Sub’s bodyguard.

Glad that someone one from SJS thread @ soompi posted these photos during the red carpet parade capturing the dashing Ji Sub as well as Mgr Yang.

And click here to watch the red carpet clip from Baidu


Ji Sub has already won 2 awards for his role in ‘Rough Cut’, Best Actor in Film Critics Awards and Best New Actor in this year’s Blue Dragon. Next stop will be the 7th Korea Film Awards on Dec 4 wherein he's nominated again for the Best Leading Actor.

BYJ had a CF yesterday?

i read the post of miemi on byjgallery about the above sighting yesterday [11.19.08] but can't decipher the details. good thing that lynnzhoulily posted the translation from Baidu to byj thread @ soompi. thanks so much lynn!

here's the translation ~

On 11/19/2008 , around 11:00am BYJ went to Jung Saem Mool beautyshop for a CF.

But it didn't state very clear whether he had a CF in JSM beautyshop or he had a CF for JSM Beautyshop, hope we will get more details later on.

she also added a trivia on her post regarding the numbers 2 and 4 on Mgr. Yang's blog.

lynn wrote ~

Oh one of my friend who knows Korean told me sth. about Mgr. Yang's blog. His address is www. cyworld/bofyang24. At first, I can not understand why he use number "2" "4" as his blog address, but my friend told me that the pronunciation of number "2" "4" is similar with the sound of “理事” （Manager or director).

So Ji Sub as Best Actor

i blogged yesterday about so ji sub....

it was his birthday yesterday but he went to Beijing to film a movie. he was supposed to come back to day to accept his award as Best Actor for the movie 'Rough Cut' given to him by the Film Critics' Society but he wasn't able to come due to the filming.

In his behalf, Mgr Yang accepted his trophy and bouquet.

this is the Best Actor trophy of Ji Sub.
hmm, nice finger nails Mr. Yang. ^^

Mgr Yang seems to be in a hurry...could it be
his catching a plane to Beijing? He was in
Beijing too last week with Ji Sub.

btw, though so ji sub was not around to accept his award, his fans came to the venue.

CONGRATULATIONS SO JI SUB!
