News Bites

Yes, yes I know I am on holiday and should be updating more frequently, but honestly I have been trying to stay away from the internet and the computer... and trying to be more real. Life is too full of technology, don't you think? A break from it all is good... ^^!

Although I will most likely be getting a Blackberry, which would mean that I will be more tied down to technology.. but never mind. That's another matter altogether. Haha! On to the news!

1) Hyun Joong is the most searched for artiste on the internet in 2009, as he has been appearing on more programmes as he and the other boys carry on their promotional activites. He has also been noted to have one of the most charming smiles. His fans have stated on online forums that his smile is so charming that one is rendered helpless just by looking at him smile so naturally.


2) Hyun Joong and Kim Yoon Ah were selected as the best CF models in 2009 by netizens around thanks to their healthy images and charming smiles.



3) Hwang Bo attended Reebok's PUMP 20th anniversary on the 4th. (Yes, I know very old news. But I just wanted to add her pics in here!)

Hyun Joong: I dated a celebrity before

Hyun Joong openly admitted that he was in a relationship with a famous celebrity before when he appeared on SBS's 'Strong Heart'.

He made the revelation after stating that he wasn't one to lie and said that the other party was also a famous celebrity. He added that the both of them did what most couples do together when they were on dates such as going fishing, going on for drives and going to the movies.

He was in a relationship with her for about five months.

He also said that he did not keep his relationship in the dark and that they had even gone to eat sashimi at an open market together.

His members, Hyung Joon and Jung Min stated that they were unaware of the relationship, but Eun Ji claimed to have knowledge of their relationship, creating much curiousity amongst everyone present.

They asked what kind of girl he dated and he answered that she was someone who was very easy going and cool.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this is what I think it is, but I don't think that it was a mere 5 months. I'm betting they are still in a relationship together!

Muahahahahaha!

Hyun Joong kisses.... Ho Young Saeng

Kyu Joong revealed that he witnessed a guy giving Young Saeng a kiss during Young Saeng's birthday...

And proceeded to bring Hyun Joong to the front, as he said that he would reveal the guy on 'Intimate Note'.

They then revealed that both Hyun Joong and Young Saeng were playing a game, and faced the penalty of having to kiss each other.

Jung Min also revealed that the both of them have always maintained a relationship of awkwardness, whereby the both of them were not able to converse as freely with each other as they do with the others.

Young Saeng stated that they were close, but strangely, the both of them were just unable to talk to each other.

Hyun Joong also admitted that despite being with Young Saeng 290 days out of the 365 days in a year, he was unable to act as informally around Young Saeng as he did with the rest of the members, and that if Young Saeng were to be late for any schedules, he'd just unknowingly say that it's okay whereas if it were the other boys, he wouldn't be as lenient, and would get angry with them.

The SS boys and Kara were both guests on Intimate Note where they were asked to reveal secrets that noobody knew about. The two groups, who are from the same company, spent an enjoyable time together as they sang and danced while having fun together throughout the programme.

This episode of Intimate Note will be aired on the 11th at 9.55 p.m. (Korean time).

News Flash

Just a brief round of updates before I start traveling again! I'll try and update as I wander around, either news or just to let you guys I'm still kicking about! ^^Y!!!

1) Hyun Joong is currently at first place in the Taiwan online poll for Asia's Best Star, after having received a total of 41, 235 votes from netizens. He has been gaining popularity in Taiwan after having played the role of Ji Hoo in KPN. This poll will be held until the 4th of December and the results are to be announced in mid December.



2) Hwang Bo participated in the 17th Korea Culture Award ceremony on the 30th of November, performing her techtonik moves on stage. Looking hot as always!


3) Hyun Joong will be paired together with So Ae in 'You're My Pet', if the both of them do decide to take on the roles in the movie. Which kind of makes me wonder, why are such news articles being released if there is no definitive answer? Kinda makes it pointless in a way, as they are creating such a stir with the possible castings, but should it all fall through it seems like they are gonna be stuck in a situation where people are either gonna love the cast change or just hate it. Gah.. Just my two cents worth.


4) Hwang Bo also performed at the 'I Am Compassion- Because I love you' concert on the 27th of November. This concert is another marker in her hugely long list of charity work that she has been actively participating in over the years.

And this is another reason why I want to be just like her. Beauty, brains and most importantly, a heart of gold.

Hwang Bo JJANG!

Hyun Joong: Life after being Ji Hoo - I can't eat at tteokpokki stalls

Hyun Joong revealed what life was like for him after portraying KPN's Ji Hoo on Happy Together Season 3.

He stated that as he portrayed Ji Hoo, he got used to driving expensive cars and fine dining that after he returned to being Hyun Joong, it was difficult for him to adapt to his usual life such as eating at tteokpokki outlets and all.

However, he said that as his wallet was fast getting thinner and thinner, he is returning back to his normal lifestlye, causing everyone on the set to laugh.

The MCs also asked him if he was was being offered any roles in dramas or movies, to which he replied that he would want to take on roles of that other actors would reject such as that of a fool or of a murderer, revealing his inner drive for acting.

This episode of Happy Together will air on the 26th at 11.15 p.m. (Korean time).

Hyun Joong and Yong Hwa to join forces

Hyun Joong and Jang Yong Hwa have been cast as MCs for MBC's Sunday Night's latest corner, Hunter.

The both of them will form part of a team of seven MCs, and the programme will focus on boar hunting, as the excessive amount of boars are seen as a threat towards agriculture and humans alike.

Both Hyun Joong and Yong Hwa have portrayed the roles of gentle, romantic men that make women fall over their heels in love with through the dramas KPN and You're Beautiful.

*Credits: Naver.com*

I personally think that this new programme will most likely wipe away that image, I mean one can hardly expect guys to be all gentle and accommodating when it comes to boar catching right?

Plus, with Hyun Joong's 4D thinking, I think the boars will be running away as fast as they can. Who knows what sort of ideas he'll come up with in order to catch a boar. Maybe make them join the olympics or eat lettuce or something. Or maybe he'll chase them up Halla San.

Although this does remind me of something Hwang Bo said during their first meeting at Jeju. When she was dressed up all pretty and everything, he looked like an ajussi who was out to catch pigs.

Hwang Bo unni, are you psychic??
