Jung Min just tweeted and said that he just posted photos on Facebook under 'Keep Fit' album and I'm shoving them here.

Whoa! At first I can't believe in what I am seeing. Jung Min working out! The member of SS501 who doesn't like to workout and who would rather sleep that workout is working out! Woot! Woot!

Special online version of “Playful Kiss” will reveal steamy love scene
by jeshicaa / AllKPop

Recently, we revealed that MBC’s official Youtube channel for “Playful Kiss” will release a series of special online episodes starting on November 11th.

On November 1st, Kim Hyun Joong hinted, “Expect a steamy love scene,” at the press conference in Seoul’s Coex mall earlier this afternoon.

He also commented about his “married” life, saying, “This is my second time being married because of the MBC show ‘We Got Married‘. But when it comes to dramas, it is my first time getting married.”

He added, “Since Youtube does not have strict restrictions, we were able to show a steamier love scene than on television. I believe that the couple will look more natural than on TV. Youtube is a place where netizens of the entire world can share and communicate. I hope ‘Playful Kiss’ can participate in the phenomenon and become an international icon.”

Kim Hyun Joong explained that the the Youtube episode will conclude the mini series. “The TV series ended with the marriage, but the viewers are probably more curious about the life of the newlyweds. We included episodes the viewers would have wanted to see.”

Meanwhile, the special episodes of ‘Playful Kiss’ will be divided into seven different videos, about 10 minutes each. The first episode will be posted on Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting on the 2nd.

Wait, but that’s not all! On the 17th and 18th, making-of films including special NG cuts will also be released! Although the drama itself ended, it seems like the hype has yet to fade.

KeyEast Actor to Play Lead Role in Dream High

Some of my followers know that I have been anticipating two dramas from KeyEast, they are Drops of God and Dream High.

Drops of God was already shelved due to some copyright issues if the production will be using all the expensive wines that the author used in the manga. Ahh, this really broke my heart as well as many BYJ fans. The story of Drops of God is really interesting and we are all looking forward to the role that BYJ will be playing and who will be the second lead star for this drama. But really, tough luck.

Anyway, if you are interested to know more about Drops of God you may click the Drops of God label below and you will see all my post related to it. [This is one reason why I love to see Hyung Jun in Caffaine, he's a wine connoisseur, a role in which BYJ was supposed to be in Drops of God but the story is very different but I'm really frustrated for not seeing BYJ in this role so I'll just settle with Kim Hyung Jun ^^]

The other drama that I'm so looking forward to see of course is Dream High. This drama has been in planning for more than 2 years now and we are finally going to see this drama in January! Whoa and I am excited! Want to know more about this drama? Click Dream High again in the labels below. ^^

The production has already chosen an actor to lead in this drama, he is another KeyEast talent by the name of Kim Soo Hyun.

Kim Soo Hyun signed with KeyEast last January. He is 21 years old and grabbed viewers attention with two back to back performance in Will It Snow for Christmas [Young Saeng was in the OST of this drama] and Father's House. Though his role in this drama were short he was very well noticed because of his acting.

He was chosen to play the lead role in Dream High because it seems that this lad is not only good in acting but he has latent in music as well [probably in dancing too!].

I am so looking forward to this drama and excited about Kim Soo Hyun. I hope he makes it big after Dream High and be amongst the young Hallyu Stars too.

Alright, aside from SS501 and BYJ, expect that I will also be posting interesting posts about Dream High if they're available in English. ^^

[News]Kim Soo Hyun is the main actor of the BYJ & PJY’s co-production drama, “Dream High”.
Sports Chosun; 2010-10-26 15:10
Korean to English translation by suehan / Suehan's BYJ's Blog


Kim Soo Hyun, who appeared in “Giant” of the SBS, was selected as the main actor of the KBS new Mon-Tue drama “Dream High” which is the BYJ and PJY’s co-production drama.

On the 26th, according to the drama staff, it was confirmed that he was selected as the main actor of “Dream High”, as Song Sam Dong. Song Sam Dong is the character who wanted to be a ranchman in his childhood, but he fell in love with the main actress Ko Hye Mi at first sight and goes on to Kirin Art School thoughtlessly. Later, his genius musical talent is discovered and he becomes a star.

Drama staff said, “He has showed us basic solid acting ability in various works so far and we have watched him carefully from the early stage for the main character.”, and “He has a gifted acting ability and musical sense. We expect him to play an active role of the drama.” On the other hand, he drew the line regarding the casting of Taek Yeon of 2PM and Eun Jeong of Tiara by saying, “It hasn’t been confirmed yet.”

[Article] Hallyu Fever in Japan Still Hot

I'm not sure if this will interest you but as a fan of many Hallyu stars I'm not only interested in them but also interested how the thing called "Hallyu" is doing.

There was a time when Hallyu somehow waned down especially in the area of dramas. But last year I read a report that Hallyu was saved by kpop idols. And it seems that this year both dramas and kpop idols are working hand in hand to make another wave of Hallyu.

Japan is a huge market when it comes to entertainment that is why many artists not only Koreans are jumping in the bandwagon to make it big in Japan. But I think so far amongst the Asian countries, Hallyu in which BYJ started in Korea is still big in the land of the rising sun. Taiwanese actors I believe are also big in Japan.

Here's an article posted by suehan on her blog which I'm shoving here. Thanks again suehan!

[News]Entertainment firms are “hot” due to “the shift in generations” of Hallyu fever in Japan.
Money Today, 2010-11-01 07:16
[Money Today, Reporter Kim Geon Woo]
Korean to English translation by suehan on Suehan's BYJ Blog

Hallyu fever in Japan, which made generational changes, makes the entertainment firms in Kosdaq (Korea Securities Dealers Automated Quotation) hot. The base of Hallyu’s consumers has expanded to teenagers and people in their twenties as a result of environmental changes of the media. The teenagers and those in their twenties are considered as the new power in the growing Hallyu fever.

(omitted)

“The original Hallyu” Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder of Keyeast. The expectations towards Keyeast from active workers, Bae Yong Joon and Kim Hyun Joong, are reflected in the market. Recently, the stock price of Keyeast increased to 34% in 11 business days continuously rising from about 2,700 won to about 3,700 won,

In November, Bae Yong Joon plans to hold the press conference for the documentary of “The Journey to Discover the Beauty of Korea,” his travel essay, and will participate in the DATV charity project with Kim Hyun Joong in December.

Kim Hyun Joong’s drama, “Mischievous Kiss” of MBC, was pre-sold to 12 countries including Japan. He is considered the Hallyu star of the next generation. Currently, “Mischievous Kiss” is in production of the 7, 10 minute episodes for the Youtube Channel.

Keyeast’s subsidiary company, Digital Adventure owns cable TV, DATV, and the companies that are intrinsic in Hallyu Fever. DATV must meet a quota of 15,000 members, their break-even point, but luckily they are running smoothly with 20,000 current members.

Industry officials said, “Hallyu’s demography, consists of females in their forties – fifties and has expanded to teenagers and people in their twenties. It’s said that Hallyu was regarded as a temporary bubble, but is now recognized for its high-class content. This shift is a direct result of the idol stars and its competitive plans.”

*the chart compares the two entertainment firms,
SM (top) and Keyeast (bottom).

As promised by yangyang0402 over at Twitter she will be sharing on 501_dg video of Hyung Jun when he arrived yesterday early afternoon from Japan.

Well, here's the video guys. It's another close up video from 501_dg again and you can clearly see that Hyung Jun is make-up less. He really has a beautiful skin. Check out his cheeks too, they're fuller.

Btw, if you are waiting for photos from 501_dg from the airport, yangyang0402 said that she only has videos. No photos this time. Still thanks for the wonderful capture of Hyung Jun.
