Hwang Bo on why Seung Eun can't get married: Because she lacks the ability to be protected.

Hwang Bo has revealed the reason why Seung Eun cannot get married while she appeared on an episode of a morning programme together with Seung Eun, who was busy preparing for a musical.

Hwang Bo began broaching the subject over a meal with the cast and crew and stated that one of the main reasons why Seung Eun could not meet the right man was because she lacked the ability to be protected. Hwang Bo explained further by stating that Seung Eun is someone who is very independent and would take it to herself to do any task that is raised, even grilling meat leaving the man with nothing to do. This, she stated, was the biggest problem.

Hyun Joong's thoughts on dramas, the future and marriage

Hyun Joong, who has just recently wrapped up his second drama 'Playful Kiss', has definitely been in the media spotlight. The drama did not garner high ratings in terms of viewership, but was a hit online, and the YouTube editions of the drama drew in over 8 million hits.

When asked about his feelings towards the dismally low ratings that the drama received, he was rather positive in his answer as he stated that he was not all that bothered about the numbers. What mattered to him was the experience and lessons that he learnt from the drama. He realized that it wasn't easy to become a leading actor in a drama, and that although high ratings would have been great, he wasn't going to dwell on it as Playful Kiss was a drama that he held dear to him and was a project that he was proud of.

He also stated that while he was happy with his choice of dramas, he would prefer to not take on any roles such as that of Yoon Ji Hoo and Baek Seung Jo as they were too romantic for him. He also said that he would like to take on more beefy roles that would see him in a tougher light.

Hyun Joong also discussed his future, as he mentioned that he had to work his way upwards now, and assert himself as an established actor. As Hyun Joong will be the ripe age of 26 next year, he stated that it won't be long before he will be called to serve in the army, and after that he will have to return to the movie industry and continue to strengthen his foothold in the industry.

Considering such circumstances, he decided that he would not think of marriage anytime soon. Any talk of marriage would have to take place at least 10 years from now. While he had initially hoped to tie the knot before he turned 30, he now knows that it was almost impossible for him to do so as he neither has the time nor a partner in his life at the moment, hence his marriage plans will probably only happen when he is about 40.

Hyun Joong will be working on more overseas activities as well as album recording activities in the first half of 2011.

News Bites

A few quick updates on our favorite man and woman!

1) Hyun Joong's latest drama fizzled on the ratings scale, as it only managed to garner 3.5% to 3.7% of the viewership ratings when it debuted last week. However, there has been rave reviews about Hyun Joong's acting, which has vastly improved since his KPN days, and the fact that there has been a large amount of numbers downloading the episodes. I have yet to watch it, thanks to the evil entity known as work, but I will definitely watch it these next two nights! I have faith!

2) Hwang Bo was also recently in Thailand for a fanmeeting entitled 'A Moment In Time with Hwang Bo 2010! Lucky fans! She also had a photoshoot and several interview sessions while she was in Thailand. Muize, did you go?

3) Hyun Joong has also been signed on as the new face of 'The Face Shop', which has also been endorsed by Bae Yong Jun. I've used products from The Face Shop before, not too bad. But I don't really like the eye shadows, it doesn't seem to last as long as Etude House. Or maybe it's just me.

Will be back with more news soon!
