I don't think they count Eric as "idol" anymore. Otherwise they should have Rain there too, he's an old idol too. And Yoon Eun Hye... though, she's on acting career now.Ethlenn wrote:Where's Eric? He can beat the crap out of TOP any given time.
And what Jung Yonghwa and Choi Siwon are doing here? Jeez...
Although me likes what I see.
I've gotta admit I haven't seen any dramas with TOP nor Siwon. I didn't even know they can act... (Well I have seen Attack on the Pin-Up Boys but it's not worth mentioning )
Even though Minho wasn't on the list, I think he has potential. He was quite good ïn Pianist. (and in traditional play scene in SHINee's Yunhanam way before Pianist)
Happy Birthday to Ryu Deok Hwan!
One of those you might not have heard about because there are no hordes of fangirls kyaaing over serious actors who aren't statues of anatomical "perfection".
Keep rockin' and making good works, you little marvel! Kids like these are my comfort among idols and all these soulless tables.

Private Eye was nice. His character was hilarious. Right up until he gave that Japanese doctor a piece of his mind. He suddenly became very hot in my eyes during that scene.
And I will watch For My Son. I will probably watch it with Maundy Thursday and get all the tragedies/sadness in one go. I've been postponing that one as well, way too long now.
Like a Virgin is noted as well. Must watch. Must keep all of these crazy and talented ones in my radar. Cause you're sure to have fun watching these actors anyway. You never regret.

not to mention he did have quiet serious car accident in 2008 too. this KID worries me a lot.Ethlenn wrote:He was ordered for 3 weeks in hospital due to heart issues.

KID will be fine. I'm sure if it were something severe and already known, he would not have been accepted into the army. It's summer too, so maybe he just got a bit overstressed.
Let's hope for a quick recovery. And hope he can stay safe and stress- free for these 2 years. I'm sure they'll take good care of him. He's a celebrity and all.

ok, I found out more (well, for those who are interested)
HERE
here is the definite case of bad news travels SLOW.
he has been in Hospital for week or so and was suffering with "undiagnosed heart condition"
heart problems are tricky in a way that sometimes they are totally hidden unless you go through some conditions in which they show themselves. of course army training with harsh physical work out can be a diagnostic tool.
how is not detected before? if you are generally healthy looking person, not showing obvious symptoms of heart problems, they are not so easy to detect.
I just wonder what will happen next.

Issy-kins, I wonder if the fact that it took very strenuous activity to have it show itself means it's not too serious or perhaps it's not something he had since birth.
Whatever the case, hope they figure it out and give him proper treatment so that he recovers soon. And then on to the offices with Nam Gil nim and The Creep! ^^
And Ecchan, I like how she tries to salvage the situation with the "makes them seem more approachable" comment.
No it doesn't, woman. You lose all respect you might have when they even try it, despite knowing how much they suck at it.

If they sorted them out into actor and actress category, than maybe, maybe... Oh noez, Heechul is on the list, so no, not even then...Lee Min Ho is leading the way in China: “He is even more popular than Jang Keun Suk”
China fell for Lee Min Ho, while Japan went for Jang Keun Suk. Each of them is popular for different reasons in the two countries, but certainly they are both contributing to the booming Korean Wave.
On the 15th, China’s most popular social network, Weibo, conducted a survey comparing Jang Keun Suk and Lee Min Ho’s appearance. It said, “Which one is better-looking? Jang Keun Suk from Mary Stayed Out All Night or Lee Min Ho from City Hunter?”
The result was interesting: Lee Min Ho earned 6,768 votes with a 69% approval rating while Jang Keun Suk only got 1,664 votes.
Another survey, which involves more Korean stars such as Kim Hee Chul, Kim Hyun Joong, Lee Hong Ki, and Jang Keun Suk, also showed Lee Min Ho as the best-looking guy, with an approval rating of 35%.
This kind of survey initially involved only Chinese stars, but recently Korean stars are listed.
Certainly, it is hard to accept such survey as being objectively true, but they do show how much popularity Lee Min Ho has achieved through the series City Hunter in China.
City Hunter has gotten nearly 200 million hits on a Chinese video website.

And the fact that Japan prefers JKS doesn't surprise me a tiny bit.
well, it does NOT surprise me either for a simple fact that YAB and MMM been on air long time ago and it had time to create their massive fan base. City Hunter is not even finished in Korea and I have feeling that mainland China watch their Korean dramas the way we do. but in Japan could be different as they wait for its broadcast on Japanese tv. JKS got his massive Japanese fans after YAB was broadcasted in Japan. LMH got very popular in there too after BOF was aired. so I will wait after CH gets aired in Japan and then judge.Ethlenn wrote:And the fact that Japan prefers JKS doesn't surprise me a tiny bit.
Ori, don't look
Yoo Seung Ho sustains a fracture due to car accident
This damned rain!
Hope he'll be fine.

source: allkpopOn July 29th, it was reported that actor Yoo Seung Ho was involved in a car accident on a highway while moving to the film set of his SBS drama, ‘Warrior Baek Dong Soo‘.
Yoo Seung Ho was rushed to a hospital nearby, as the severity of the crash totalled the entire car.
A representative from his agency explained, “We, too, are surprised with this news. We are currently on our way to the hospital and are also worried because it does not seem like a small accident. We will reveal more information as we find out.”
The film schedule for July 29th has been canceled. A representative for the drama said, “We are watching over the situation, but have canceled the schedule for today. We’re not sure what will happen in the future, as it depends on Yoo Seung Ho’s condition.”
Despite the minor injuries Yoo Seungho sustained due to a recent car accident, he managed to return to filming within a day after the crash.
On July 29th, the day of his accident, Yoo Seungho received a checkup and fortunately received no bad news other than a small cheekbone injury. Although the injury would not have caused great harm to him, the doctor advised Yoo Seungho to undergo surgery. However, Yoo Seungho discussed the matter further with his mother, reaching the conclusion that he would proceed with his current filming activies and not undergo the surgery. Luckily, he has not been shocked due to the accident, and his face has not been wet or bloated since.
Throughout the breaks in filming, Yoo Seungho will wear safety gear. He will act out the action scenes to a minimum, and the script is being revised so that it will contain more words than fists.
The production crew, while very grateful that Yoo Seungho has made such a decision, are surprised at his dedication to the drama. Meanwhile, he has expressed his gratitude to the production crew, stating that his recovery is due to them.
As Yoo Seungho returned to the "Warrior Baek Dong Soo" set, the production crew celebrated his birthday with a cake. His second animation movie, "The Chicken That Came Out of the Yard" (also featuring Choi Minsik), has also recently opened in theaters, and his summer thriller "Blind", co-starring Kim Haneul, is set to come out within the next few weeks.
Yoo Seungho has also shared the features of his dream girl in his latest interview with "Section TV Entertainment" while being awarded as a celebrity who will succeed in his acting and studying.

Hong Gil Dong was a painful experience, but I'm sure he made the series just a little bit better. Nice actor. Kind smile. Would love to see him play someone adorable. He'd be gooood.
And Shamey, the angel on my signature is one I'd gladly yank down from comfort and rearrange his feathers, but he does look awfully cute and content in his lovely cotton hottie case.

Kim Sang Joong also is a host (no weird thoughts, perverts, oh, or maybe I don't quite understand the word) of a show called "I want to know" or something to this kind. But it's a quite heavy show, not that popular and lately it's hard to get...
But if you want, I can look for it. But I bet no (Ji)sub till the Judgement Day.

Uhm, Issy...
It seems that Im Joo-hwan has been in the hospital for 3 months due to heart problems since his admittance into the army. However, he's not considering early discharge from the army.
He joined the 102 training camp in Chooncheon on the 17th of May and was hospitalized for heart problems while getting basic military training.
Considering his condition got better, he was then moved to a medical corps for treatment.
His management says, "He hasn't fully recovered so he's still receiving treatment at the medical corps. However, he's not considering early discharge or whatsoever".
It seems that he was already suffering from heart illness even before he joined the army. He could've been exempted or serve his duty as a public soldier but he insisted he become an active one. (hancinema)
yep. Ori.I think the same too. he might be scared of people's judgement. you know what? I did read some harsh words ones he got admitted to hospital for the first time. some ignorants said, it's good excuse to get out early.
you know how netizens can get crazy. right?
but seriously, this is no joking matters. heart problem in any way way, form or shape should not be taken lightly.
my poor KID, I want him safe and sound out of there.

Who said that, Issy? Let's find'em and kick'em!! What kind of idiot could joke like that?
Won Bin was discharged because of health, he can get too. He should.
On the other note, Ha Jung Woo is considered as a part of some Hollywood noir movie. What's wrong with staying in Korea?? Especially him, he's now recognized worldwide!!

some stupid ignorants on some sites who have no consideration or sense of sympathy. if these were how, some internationals (not fans really) think, then they out to be more people like them among netizens too.
I really hope he can get an early discharge very soon.
Oh no, not Hollywood fame again. believe me, you won't get any more famous by going there. Just making your fans disappointed. trust me, I have been there as a fan.
