[08.06.29][diary] Dongwan - Kappa Coo's prayer

Kappa No Coo To Natsuyasumi (Summer Days with Coo) is an award-winning Japanese animated movie based on a book of the same name, about a young boy who finds a Kappa (river imp). More details about the movie here*


"To the gods of this land.
Please allow me and my father to temporarily live here on this land
Please allow me to be able to fish in this river while I'm alive"

From the movie "Summer Days With Coo"



p.s. I hope people will pay more attention to the voices of the gods and nature

[08.06.29][diary] Dongwan - Echidnas

*courtesy of wikipedia - Echidnas, also known as spiny anteaters, are four extant mammal species belonging to the Tachyglossidae family of the monotremes. Together with the Platypus, they are the only surviving members of that order. Although their diet consists largely of ants and termites, they are not actually related to the anteater species. They live in New Guinea and Australia.

Even if echidnas
Want to give each other some of their own warmth
But as the distance between them decreases, the sharp spikes on their bodies are more likely to hurt each other
As a result
There's a fear of that pain in their hearts,
And they eventually become cowards.

It's the same for children

Sooner or later they would know
When they grow up...
Alternating between getting closer and distancing themselves
Trying to find the right distance where they will not hurt each other...

[08.06.27][News]'Strongest Chil Woo' Eric-Jun No Min forms a team


KBS 2TV drama 'Strongest Chil Woo' Eric and Jun No Min formed a team to scout for delicious food.

With Eric and Jun No Min leading the team, the cast of 'Strongest Chil Woo' will be on a trip to find delicacies during their 1 day break every week.

Jun No Mon said in a phone interview on 26 June, 'I share the same taste in food with Eric and the rest of the cast. During our 1 day break, we will definitely be out for a feast. We just had a barbeque on 24 June at my house when there was no filming'.

Eric plays a low grade official in the day but when night comes, he turns into an assasin and Jun No Mon plays a yangban who also engages in assassinations when night falls. This is their first attempt in a period drama.

Jun No Min says, 'Our team includes me and Eric, as well as other cast like Shin Seung Hwan, Jung Jin, Park Joon Seo etc. Last week, we went to a curry shop to have all kinds of curry near a University. Of course we had a few drinks but as we had filming the next day, we had to watch ourselves. All of us love tasty food, especially Eric.'

'Strongest Chil Woo' achieved over 10% ratings, closely behind SBS TV 'Gourmet'.

[08.06.27][news] Junjin: Once I got drunk and slept in the car for 18 hours

Making an appearance on the June 28 episode of MBC variety show Park Kyung Rim's Wonderful Outing, Junjin shared some interesting stories about his reputation as a 'drunkard' and his drinking 'adventures'.

Reputed to have a drinking capacity of 15 bottles of soju, Junjin said "I used to be able to drink 15 bottles, but not anymore. Rather than to say that I like to drink, it's more like I like the atmosphere of drinking with friends", thus explaining the origins of his 'drunkard' reputation.

He added, "But there was once when I got drunk, and slept in the car for 18 hours."

He also talked about drunk-dialling a girl that he liked, "I wasn't thinking at asking her to be my girlfriend, but I did like her a lot. I called her once after I drank but I ended up falling asleep during the call because I was so tired. All she could hear was my snores and breathing, and I was so embarrassed that I didn't dare to contact her for a week."

[08.06.27][news] Andy trapped in a tram for 30 mins during filming in France


Shinhwa member-turned-solo singer Andy was trapped in a tram in Tignes, France during a summer ski session.

Andy was in Tignes for the filming of Cable Channel Olive TV's "Rediscovering France" - due for broadcast at the end of August - and was preparing to head for a summer ski challenge when he got trapped in the electric tram due to a power outage.

He was travelling up the mountain in the tram towards the summer ski which is 3,500m above sea level when the tram suddenly stopped moving just after 5 minutes. After 30 minutes of waiting, Andy and the crew had to manually get out of the tram in the cold.

Andy, who will be in Paris from 19 June to 1 July, will visit various attractions and meet with famous people from the culinary, literary and sports fields in his 12-day trip to fully experience French culture.

In his latest diary entry to his fans, Andy mentioned that he was even busier in Paris than in Seoul. "I started to miss Korea since the first day I arrived here, now I'm just waiting for the day I go home~~ But I've not only seen a lot, but I've felt a lot too, so even after I go back I will still remember lots of things. I'm now going through a very good experience."

JUNJIN RECAPS HIS 10 YEARS IN SHINHWA

Shinhwa member Junjin appeared on Golden Fishery, and recapped his 10-year career on the show.

As a Perfect Man, as Shinhwa members are often called, Junjin said that the image that he has presented for the last 10 years isn't his true self. "Even if I was hurting inside I had to put up a strong front." He also said that he isn't a player, "I've never ever dated more than one girl at a time."

He also shared other interesting stories about himself, such as eating squid rice at the same restaurant for 3 years; how he was selected among 4,000 people at a dance audition but the company ended up going bust in the end; and how he went home to practice more because he didn't want to lose out to the other members. He also talked about his panic disorder.

JUNJIN "ONCE THOUGHT OF LEAVING SHINHWA"

Shinhwa's Junjin appeared on the 25 June episode of MBC's Golden Fishery, sharing many candid revelations.

With tears in his eyes, he talked about his childhood, how he grew up with his grandmother, and the heartache that he experienced being separated from his birth mother. When he attended a charity event at an orphanage, he could understand the loneliness that the children felt living without their parents.

He also disclosed, "When some people said that I was intentionally talking about the hardship and the heartache that I experienced, I was so hurt that I thought about leaving Shinhwa. However when Kim Dongwan said that 'Shinhwa without Junjin isn't Shinhwa anymore', it gave me strength to continue. I'm very grateful to him for that."

As Park Choong Jae, and not Junjin, his wish is to be able to "show the best of me and being able to smile happily, whether it's on a programme or at a concert."

Revealing his painful childhood, Junjin sheds tears on Golden Fishery

Junjin didn't meet his biological mother until he was 23. His mother had left the family soon after Junjin was born, and he was brought up by his grandmother. As his father had to work, he could only send living expenses. When his father remarried when he was in high school, Junjin found it hard to get accustomed to his new family having been brought up by his grandmother.

There was no one to prepare lunchboxes for him, and he often had to share lunch with his schoolmates. This made him appreciate homecooked meals and parental love earlier than most other people did. As he talked about how he is still unable to say "Mother" naturally, his tears flowed.

He finally got to meet his biological mother, after an arrangement made by his stepmother. But when he heard that his mother now had a son, he didn't want to cause any unhappiness to his half-brother, and he had never met his biological mother ever since.

"When my grandmother passed away, I couldn't forgive myself for the insensible things I had done to upset her. I found it difficult to go to orphanages, because I couldnt control my emotions when I saw the children who were going through the same experience as me. But because I had to present a tough image, I couldn't cry even if I wanted to."

I thought about leaving Shinhwa because I had to be someone that I wasn't. But Kim Dongwan said that 'Shinhwa without Junjin isn't Shinhwa anymore', and it gave me strength to continue. It's the greatest thing that Shinhwa members were able to meet and be part on one another's lives."

Although the journey was tough, but having overcome the difficulties, Junjin said that he would try his best to earn applause from his fans and in future, be a good father.

Topping the sales chart for the first half of 2008 with 100,000 copies of their 9th album, Shinhwa will soon be releasing 20,000 copies of the limited edition repackaged 9th album.

The special limited edition and regular edition of their 9th jib, released on 3 April and 10 April respectively, Shinhwa has successfully topped the sales chart with sales of 100,000.

Like the Special Limited Edition, this White Edition will also feature a serialised hologram from 1 to 20,000, making it yet another collectible.

The new song, 흔적 Heun Cheok(Destiny of Love), was originally slated to appear on the original 9th album, but the members decided that they wanted the song to be done in an R&B style, thus the song had to be redone. This is another collaboration by the lyricist and composer of Oh (from Shinhwa's Brand New album), Shin Hyesung and Lee Minwoo.

[08.06.25][news] Eric Moon, the Great ChilWoo... what's with the fake horses?


Viewers complained about the fake horses in the drama 'The Great ChilWoo' used for closup scenes of Eric Moon from ShinHwa taking the lead role as ChilWoo chasing JaJa, Lee Eon previously from 'Coffee Prince'. It seemed as if KBS2's drama, 'The Great Chilwoo' went back 10 years in time for using old fashioned action techniques. Way to lower the drama quality.

Korean ㅠlockbuster movie such as 'D-War' and an MBC drama 'The Legend' have set the bars high enough that such techniques would definitely bring out criticism and dissatisfaction against such products. The viewers can't watch a drama solely because the storyline is fun. Not anymore. They ask for higher quality and some investment into these kind of scenes!

[08.06.25][Interview]Andy's T map (T magazine)


Andy: Idol group’s youngest member, cross-dress, nerdy student, cute boy, heart dance. These are what we think of Andy through the ten years. And now, in his own company, releasing his solo album, he has just begun his own show, displaying who he really is.


(Kang Ho Dong: We always meet; Hyun Bin: Still remember the nerdy student? ; Solbi: Do we really want to date?; Kim Min Joon: Challenges and failures; Shinhwa: Shinhwa’s youngest)

Shinhwa: For the past ten years, there were no disband or change in members, Korea’s longest running idol group Shinhwa. They have not only produced the most albums, but each member has also had their own solo activities. However, their path has not always been this smooth.

When they first debut with ‘Hae Gyul Sah’, the response was lackluster. They tried to use the dance song, ‘Eusha Eusha’ to gain support but during this time, there were stiff competition from other groups. Because of this, Shinhwa members have decided if they do not get anywhere with their 2nd album, they will go their separate ways. With such a decision, they tried all ways to cut their expenses. They would go hungry, and to save on make-up expenses they will go to sleep without removing their make-up and go straight for filming after that.

Andy nearly became part of HOT when he was 15, but because his family opposed the idea as they felt that he was too young, he joined Shinhwa 2 years later. And later on, he left for America for personal reasons, leaving only 5 people during the forth album, ‘Wild Eyes’. At that time, Andy feared he could not return to the group and at 17, when he felt so alone in this entertainment industry, he started drinking. At one look, Andy seems to be the innocent and cute boy but in actual fact, he had to deal with a continuous mental struggle.

Hyun Bin: Actor. Appeared in MBC with Andy. When Shinhwa ended their contract with SM, they did not carry out any solo activities. It was Andy and Junjin who took the lead with . Andy was know for his long line earlier in the show, ‘In such times when the economy is not doing well and where 50000 young people are unemployed, if you do not make thorough preparations for examinations how are you going to live on?’

Later on in the show, he was involved in a love triangle with Han Ye Seul and Hyun Bin, taking on a greater role in the show. Andy and Hyun Bin built a strong friendship through the show. Audiences of instead of the ‘An-Seul’ of ‘Hyun-Seul’ combination actually preferred ‘An-Hyun’. In series, singers were seen to be able to act just as well as actors, and indeed, this was a stepping stone for Andy. Andy and Han Ye Seul were classmates back in primary school, and Hyun Bin was in ‘Spin Kick’ together with Kim Dongwan.

Kim Min Joon: Actor. In SBS , he was Andy’s brother but they had different mothers. Having starred in and SBS’s banjun dramas, what was left for Andy was actual dramas where he chose . At that time, Andy took the advice from Jang Geun Suk who played Jeon Do Yeon’s brother, ‘not give people the impression of a small boy’ and thus took up a serious character. ‘It is untrue that there is no burden being the youngest. I dislike to hear things like, ‘Why don’t you just return to Shinhwa’’.

For a scene where Andy calls Kim Min Joon ‘Hyung’ where the latter got into an accident, it took 18 hours and this shows Andy’s passion for acting. has enjoyed high ratings but this has little to do with Andy’s efforts. For Andy, the show did not leave him happy. With regards to his acting skills, even he felt it was not good at all. And so until now, Andy has not taken another drama.

Kang Ho Dong: MC. He has appeared with Andy on ‘X Man’, MBC’s ‘Golden Fishery’. When Andy first debut, KHD was his favourite sportsman and on ‘Golden Fishery’ they kissed in the segment ‘My Name is Kim Sam Soon’. Also, Andy first revealed his parents were divorced on KHD’s show, ‘Ya Shim Man Man’.

After Shinhwa’s 7th album, their main focus was on solo activities and for Andy who discovered he was lacking in acting decided not to take on anymore dramas, and was not active as a solo singer as well. But he was constantly on variety shows. In ‘X man’, Andy was always the one to create the atmosphere with his dances and in , he went all out for the show, putting away his idol image. He also hosted SBS , doing his heart dance on stage, and singing Propose. And on MBC’s ‘We’re Married’, we see another side of Andy, and his heart dance.

Andy took part in the musical and has showed us what he is capable of, other than being Shinhwa’s youngest member.

Solbi: She appears on ‘We’re Married’ with Andy. They have come a long way together in the show, and recently Solbi has said she is worried that her feelings in the show for Andy might become real unknowingly. They are often bombarded with the question if they are a real couple but this is not important in the show. What matters is that both of them have gained a lot from the show.

Compared to being active as a group, a variety show helps to show who Andy really is. Solbi has changed her unpopular image to a girl who has her cute side through the show. Andy on the other hand, became ‘good man’ from the ‘cute boy’ that he was always known as in Shinhwa. Andy has shown everyone that he is someone who values family, thinks for his family, and he looks forward to having a partner in the show. This is something that cannot be easily seen through Shinhwa activities, but it is all evident on ‘We’re Married’.

Not only are fans interested in this, but the mass audience is now putting more attention on Andy. But again, he is feeling uncomfortable. Because right now, he hasn’t been able to be involved in what he wants to do, acting. As a solo singer, he has not entirely succeeded but at least for now, he is not only Shinhwa’s Andy, but we can see him for who he really is.

The fear of being eliminated in the group, the fear of unable to be an actor, the fear of not being able to be a solo singer on his own, the fear of not protecting his family well, these were on his mind for the past ten years. But in the next ten years, he should have a lot less fears.

[08.06.25][Interview]'Andy can't make it' on his own

Last year, this is something that was heard so often on the musical stage. For 10 years, he has succeeded as Shinhwa. Indeed, there were tough times then, but what is important now is for Andy to present his best in his first musical. And so, those hurting comments did affect him.

During rehearsals, there were times he felt wronged. After the musical ended, he took a break for close to 5 months and he was troubled. 'Where is the problem', 'Why does everyone say I can't do it', 'If this is the case, where did it go wrong?', and even 'If I am not a celebrity, can I live as a normal person'.

Practice, makes perfect. Andy started his journey, alone, from this minute. He tried all he could to turn the 'impossible' possible, and he was thankful that he had the time to do so.

And so, not long ago Andy has been selected to be part of the musical, 'Polaroid' from 1 July. Although he is busy with his new songs and variety shows, he still made time for the musical.

The same went for his solo album. He released his solo album earlier this year, but the sales did not meet expectations. And so at the same time, he held a 6-day concert in Korea, a solo concert in China, and a concert on 14 June in Japan. This has helped him to strengthen his position as a solo singer.

Additionally, Andy is on MBC's variety show 'We're Married' where he as gained a lot of support from female audiences, and was even voted as the 'Best Groom'. Once content with being Shinhwa's youngest, Andy now is working hard to be as popular as the rest of the members.

'In the past, I'll wait quietly. Whoever brings me clothes, I'll just wear it. But now, I have to depend on myself for the design of clothes, and what I'll wear. There are a lot to be done. Sometimes, I'll get so busy that I can't sleep, and the stress level increases. But what is amazing is that these stress actually makes me feel good. I'll be doing things in a daze when I'm hungry, and I never knew it felt like this'. (Laughs)

Although for the past ten years, the achievement wasn't his own, those ten years were valuable to him. It made Andy realise that he is lacking in many areas.

'Until now, I have received a lot of help from other people, but from now on, I have to go on alone. When I heard things like, 'Andy can't make it' I was hurt, but I could only perservere and continue. No matter what I was wearing, if the clothes do not fit, I need someone to tell me 'No'. During that time, it was troubling but through work, I managed to know myself better. That is the path to growing up'.

Recording for today has ended. We all went to Vink's house after that, the one who makes great music. His place is one where you can get a beautiful night scenary, and this is where he works as well. It's like an office hotel. We were just chatting, talking about music and I found an interesting book.

It's called, 'I'm now an action hero too'.
These are the things on the content page
Ways to ruin a wedding
How to attract someone in a party
How to get hit by a falling chair
Ways to get someone off your back
How to escape from a sinking ship

And it goes on..There are other interesting things in the book...
Things that seems like it will come out on Infinite Challenge^^
As there was not much time today, I could only look at the content page. If there is time, I will want to buy one home
Somewhere in everyone's heart, we all have a desire to be an action hero
Do take a look at the book. Tell me more about the book here if you read it before me.

By now, I suppose everyone has seen that line and noticed that recording has ended?
Hye Sung has recorded Vink's song today. We're all in a good mood.
Needless to say, I'm sure we all know Vink has written a few songs for Hye Sung's second album as well as Shinhwa's ninth album.
I have mentioned it before, Vink and I, we go a long, long way back, when we were both good-looking guys^^We knew each other back then...
ㅋㅋㅋ
There were songs in Hye Sung's second album that signifies a new beginning, and the pain of waiting
Shinhwa's ninth album presented memories, and their journeys ahead alone.
Vink thinks about the feeling the album is supposed to bring, and he really does it well.
He will analyze and do various experiments to let himself immerse in the music, he really is a very great friend.

The topic today at the recording was 'Waltz'
There was no such atmosphere, as to why we came up with this name, I'm not too sure really
Just that when we got the song, how should i say this....
It feels really romantic
As if your lover was just at your ear, whispering sweet nothings?
Ai...sh I'm reminded of an actor called Grant...^^
Aren't you all curious...You can hear it soon...
At that time, listen to the song bearing in mind what I've said...

Although it hasn't been settled, we will try various things on this album
And in future we will as well, will slowly let you all in on this.

It's coming to 5...
Time to sleep
Rest for a short while, and it'll be morning soon...^^

[08.06.24][news] Overwhelming response causes temporary downtime on SCW messageboard

On 24 June, the Strongest Chil Woo messageboard experienced temporary downtime due to overwhelming responses from local and overseas viewers.

As a member of Shinhwa, and also active as an actor, Mun Jung Hyuk is hugely popular in Korea and also overseas territories such as Japan, Thailand, China, Taiwan and other Asian countries. The immense amount of support shown to Mun Jung Hyuk and to Strongest Chil Woo was the cause of the temporary downtime.

A staff member said, "The downtime was caused by fans from Taiwan, China, Japan and other countries logging on at the same time."

Episode 3 of the drama was aired on 23 June, and the messageboard was filled with praises and good reviews of his performance in the episode.

The ratings battle is raging on for Mon/Tue dramas on all 3 stations. According to TNS Media Korea, ratings for 23 June were 16.4% for SBS drama Gourmet, 11.6% for MBC drama When Night Comes and 10.5% for Strongest Chil Woo.

[08.06.24][news] Great acting from Eric dispels all criticisms


Shinhwa's Eric (Mun Jung Hyuk) has dispelled all criticisms about his acting skills with his excellent performance in KBS2 drama Strongest Chil Woo.

On Episode 3 of the drama aired on 23 June, Mun Jung Hyuk delivered an even better performance than last week. In the first 2 episodes aired last week, there was some truth to the criticisms that he was having some difficulty with his enunciation and emotional delivery in his first sageuk drama. However in Episode 3, he was able to deliver his scenes very well even though he was acting one-on-one opposite veteran actor Jeon Noh Min.

Chil Woo (Mun Jung Hyuk) and Min Seung Kook (Jeon Noh Min) finally meet, both hoping to silence the other party in order to conceal their secret identities. Upon meeting, Min Seung Kook asks Chil Woo why he killed Heo Won Do, to which Chil Woo replied, "Only because as an assassin, I received orders from my sister Woo Young", and Min Seung Kook replies, "So it's only because of revenge". Chil Woo's grief and anger slowly shows behind his seemingly nonchalant words. This powerful scene alone has more than proved the critics wrong.

The anger that he showed in response to the wrongful murder of a young girl, the traces of awkwardness he shows in front of So Yoon, and his playfulness when arguing with his foster father - the multiple facets were all played out very naturally, leading some viewers to question whether the Chil Woo in this episode is the same character as the one in the first 2 episodes.

After the episode was aired, contrary to last week viewers left very encouraging messages on the messageboard such as, "Today's scenes were great, his performance is comparable to veteran actor Jeon Noh Min", "It's great that he has managed to fully display the repressed emotions within Chil Woo", "His acting is more natural, and his enunciation is better now. The showdown with Jeon Noh Min was very engaging", "As an assassin he fully emits masculine charm".

Only in the third episode, Mun Jung Hyuk has already displayed an impressive performance. The audience is now looking forward to his future performances more than ever.

[08.06.23][news] Strongest Chil Woo will feature a different case in every episode

KBS2 drama Strongest Chil Woo, which started its run on 17 June, will feature a different case in every episode.

Episode 1 saw the process of Chil Woo becoming an assassin, while Episode 2 featured a case revolving around the Yeolnyeomun. Some viewers have expressed that this concept is rather refreshing, increasing their anticipation for Episodes 3 and 4 to see what other cases will be featured.

While the main storyline is still about Chil Woo, his assassin friends and his first love So Yoon, there will still be new cases to solve every episode. Episodes 3 and 4 will shed more light on the sacho (historical document) that discloses the truth behind the murder of Prince Sohyeon, which inadvertently led to the death of Chil Woo's sister Woo Young.

A spokesperson from the production company Olive9 commented, "The truth will be revealed about the death of Prince Sohyeon on Episodes 3 and 4. Other customs and traditions such as the initiation rites and Yeolnyeomun in Episodes 1 and 2 will also be seen in upcoming cases."

The drama is aired every Monday and Tuesday on KBS2 at 9.55pm (Seoul time)

Singer Solbi's confession towards her reel-life husband Andy has sparked off a hot topic of discussion among viewers.

On the 22 June episode of MBC's We Got Married, Solbi said "I know I shouldn't be saying this, but I'm feeling increasingly umcomfortable with the show."

"I'd feel lonely when I get home after filming, and there are times I think about calling Andy. But I know I shouldn't be doing that, getting confused between reel and real life. It used to be a case of living with someone I didn't have feelings for, but now I can't help but worry about my feelings for Andy."

Andy said, "Solbi is really very attractive. The more I see her, the more I think so."

On this episode, Solbi confessed to Andy about losing the ring, and her heartfelt tears became the topic of the day for many viewers.

[08.06.23][news] Junjin: So embarrassed of Park Chan Hong that I can't go out anymore

What's the reason for Junjin being so embarrassed of his friend?

After Park Chan Hong appeared with Junjin on MBC's Star Blind Date, he has received numerous applications on his Cyworld page. The two, who share a common passion for dance, have been friends for 12 years since high school. However, after the programme, their friendship is undergoing a severe "crisis".

Capturing the attention of the ladies on the show with his wacky lines and actions, yet failing to capture their hearts, he earned the "wrath" of Junjin who said "I'm so embarrassed of you that I don't dare to step out of my house now." Even so, Park Chan Hong is now very popular on the Internet, even increasing the sales on his online shopping mall. "After the show aired, the number of customers have increased by 2-3 times."

As someone who meets up with Junjin thrice a week, Park Chan Hong also divulged Junjin's drinking habits on the show. "When Junjin drinks, even though his eyes become glazed and his body feels weak, he still doesn't want to hear anyone say that he's drunk. If I told him that, he would insist that he isn't and give me a horrifying stare."

He will be sharing more interesting snippets and stories with Junjin on MBC Everyone's Magazine 1 on 25 June.

[08.06.23][news] A msg from Strongest Chil Woo writer Baek Yoon Chul to Mun Jung Hyuk

Jung Hyuk-sshi,

Your performance in Episodes 1 and 2 are the best and the strongest I've seen.

Please do not let the negative comments get to you.
If no one bothers with the drama that would be an even bigger problem. So whether it's good or bad...whether they like it or not...the buzz surrounding this now is a good thing

We've only taken a few steps of a very long marathon
If we put in our best efforts til the end, I believe that we will be able to produce a moving Strongest Chil Woo for the audience.

Gu Hyesun-sshi has done a great job too, Im Haryong sonsaengnim...Kim Young Wook sonsaengnim (who plays Chil Woo's foster grandmother) and Choi Ran nuna (who plays Chil Woo's foster mother) have all given great and interesting performances
Jeon Noh Min-sshi is really great too..
The child stars, Oh Man Suk-sshi who guest-starred, have all put in their best efforts, thank you

The actors, the staff, everyone please continue to work hard...Please stand united with PD Park Man Young to produce an even more interesting drama

Me too, as the writer, I will give it my all even if I can't sleep.

Fighting! Aza! The nasty critics out there, stop!!

[08.06.22][Diary]GOOD Rep's entry on Hye Sung's 3rd album


This is Shinhwa’s 10th anniversary concert when they sang T.O.P… and this is Hye Sung’s solo part…

It seems like we are lying really low until the album is released…
And that we sneakily took part in an OST just to surprise everyone…
Thus I would like to use this space to let everyone in on HS 2008 projects, a little at a time.
Also… to see what people who love HS’s music has to say…

First of all, the most pressing issue is the release of his 3rd album…
We aim to release it at the end of summer, and so we are in serious preparations everyday.
Although we have not decided whether to release a digital single or a PROJECT album before the 3rd album… there are 2 meaningful projects that we can participate in…

This is troubling.
We do have an idea for the 3rd album, but we have yet to decide on the direction of the promotion title…
To go with the recent trend of music… or to have songs that appear several times in variety shows, and that top the charts that suit the mass market… do we have to set a fixed direction…
But what is pretty clear is that we do not want to follow the trend.
It seems like we can set a new trend, leading others to follow HS and his music style.
For this, we are even more troubled. ^^

Below are the lyrics to the song

감추려 외면하고 감추려 노력을 해봐도
Hide the hard work
왜 이렇게 안 되지 사랑이 내게 오나봐
How did I fall in an impossible love
그냥 웃음이 나고 그냥 모든 게 좋아 보여
Your smile is my everything
아이처럼 마냥 즐겁고 행복해
Like a child who only wants to enjoy happiness and bliss
너를 사랑하나봐 이런 내 맘을 너도 느끼죠
Can you feel it the love that I have for you
너와 함께 있으면 나도 모르게 너를 닮아가
When I'm with you I behave like you unknowingly
눈을 감아도 내 눈 앞에는 너만 서있어
Each time I close my eyes you'll be standing in front of me
나도 신기해 널 사랑하나봐
Even I am surprised by the love I have for you
매일 거울만 보고 매일 너에게 보이려고
Everyday I wish to see you just like a mirror
인형처럼 마냥 예쁜 척 하게 돼
I doll up myself for you
너를 사랑하나봐 이런 내 맘을 너도 느끼죠
Can you feel the love that I have for you
너와 함께 있으면 나도 모르게 너를 닮아가
When I'm with you I behave like you unknowingly
눈을 감아도 내 눈 앞에는 너만 서있어
Each time I close my eyes you'll be standing in front of me

나도 신기해 널 사랑하나봐
Even I am surprised by the love I have for you
내가 느끼는 행복 혼자만의 느낌은 아니죠
Hope it's not only me feeling the bliss
이 행복 우리 둘이 우리 같이 만들어가요
This is what we created together
너를 사랑하나봐 이런 내 맘을 너도 느끼죠
Can you feel it the love I have for you
너와 함께 있으면 나도 모르게 미소 짓게 돼
I will smile unknowingly whenever I am with you
잠이 들어도 내 꿈에서는 너만 가득해
You are the only one in my dreams when I sleep

you & I Fall in love 사랑해
you & I Fall in love I love you
영원토록 사랑해
I will love you until the end of time

[08.06.18][news] Strongest Chil Woo Eps 1/2 - Consolidated news Part 2 (3 articles)

IS STRONGEST CHIL WOO A TRADITIONAL SAGEUK OR A FUSION SAGEUK?

A war of words has begun on the nature of the sageuk drama Strongest Chil Woo on messageboards.

Although the production company mentioned at the press conference that it's a traditional sageuk, but viewers have commented that it's closer to a fusion sageuk drama. The premiere episode of the drama on 17 June saw the journey of Chil Woo from his childhood to how he became an assassin.

The costumes, setting, elements and explanatory notes are essentials to a traditional sageuk. However the speech of the characters, their mannerisms, the CG effects tend to be slightly more humorous and manhwa (comic)-like.

Compared to the traditional honorific speech used in traditional sageuk dramas, the characters in Strongest Chil Woo use more modern terms. The mannerisms and actions also come across as a little frivolous.

Particularly for the CG effects for certain scenes, especially during the duel between Min Seung Guk and Chil Woo, these are more commonly seen in fusion sageuk dramas.

The scene where Chil Woo's transformation into an assassin is complete, with him holding a whip while riding the horse, by the edge of a cliff against the backdrop of a huge moon reminiscent of the one in ET - this scene wouldn't have appeared in a traditional sageuk drama. Many viewers have also posted comments that Chil Woo's assassin image resembles that of Zorro.

Viewers have reacted with mixed responses, with one camp saying "It was a disappointing to see a fusion sageuk when I've been expecting a traditional sageuk". The other camp says, "Although it's closer to a fusion sageuk, but this is better since it gets me watching a sageuk which I normally wouldn't."

REACTIONS TO THE KOREAN ZORRO

Mun Jung Hyuk's ending monologue for the new KBS2 sageuk drama Strongest Chil Woo, "The world doesn't change, only people change." His character Chil Woo brings to mind an image of the swashbuckling Zorro.

Firstly, as a najang by day and righteous assassin by night, Chil Woo is very much similar to Zorro - given that they're both commoners by day and heroes who punish wrongdoers by night.

At the end of the 2nd episode, we also see Chil Woo in a get-up similar to Zorro, wearing a mask and a cape while riding on the horse. Other similarities include the masculine charm and captivating glare that both Mun Jung Hyuk and Antonio Banderas (2005's Zorro) emit.

Many viewers posted messages on the messageboards expressing their opinions about Mun Jung Hyuk's performance. Though some viewers felt that "his acting is unnatural", there were still positive comments for his masculine image in the drama.

STRONGEST CHIL WOO PD EXPRESSES REGRET AT CRITICISMS TOWARDS ERIC'S PERFORMANCE

PD Park Man Young has expressed his regrets at the criticisms towards Eric's performance in Strongest Chil Woo - "I'm sad to hear about people doubting Mun Jung Hyuk's acting abilities."

PD Park said, "I couldn't bear to edit any of the footage that Mun Jung Hyuk shot. After looking at the edited footage, I was even more satisfied with his scenes. I have no doubt about his acting."

He added, "He's done better than what I expected. I'm thankful for that, and I'm very proud of him. He has played the role of Chil Woo perfectly."

"Strongest Chil Woo is about how a hero rises from a corrupt society. The world is like this no matter what era it is, good and bad people co-exist. Chil Woo is a hero who exists in such a world."

STRONGEST CHIL WOO PREMIERES WITH FAST-PACED EPISODE



The new KBS2 sageuk drama Strongest Chil Woo premiered on 17 June with a fast paced episode. The drama tells of a najang Chil Woo, played by Mun Jung Hyuk, who becomes a righteous assassin by night.

The first episode opened with Chil Woo's father (played by Oh Man Suk) pounding away on the Shinmungo (Petitioner's Drum) to fight for equal rights for lowly-born citizens in order to build an equal society, but he eventually was killed by soldiers in a surprise attack.

This was followed by the next scene where the adult Chil Woo is now a najang guarding the Shinmungo, preventing citizens from making petitions.

The scenes that took place for the rest of the 2 episodes prompted viewers to comment that the pace was too fast.

Chil Woo was implicated in a case where his sister Woo Young's foster father was murdered in a conspiracy, and as a result Woo Young was also killed, leading Chil Woo on the path to becoming an assassin.

Viewers felt that the 2 episodes, which included having Chil Woo's father, sister and her foster father die one after another, were too convoluted and made the plot difficult to understand. On the other hand, there are also viewers who felt that the twists and turns made it interesting to watch.

Some viewers left posts on messageboards, saying that "The drama should have been more detailed in portraying the reason behind Chil Woo's transformation into the masked hero and it feels too sketchy. For any part of the story, the viewers should be allowed to get involved in the plot, but everything is done too haphazardly. His father and sister dying like that, we can't tell what's going on."

However there were positive comments as well: "It's very focused right from the start. It's a unique theme, so it's quite interesting."

MIXED RESPONSES TO ERIC'S FIRST SAGEUK DRAMA

Mun Jung Hyuk's first ever sageuk drama, KBS2's Strongest Chil Woo, premiered on 17 June, where he plays a najang by day who becomes a righteous assassin by night, a character similar to Superman and Zorro.

However, there have been mixed reviews to his performance after the premiere. Some viewers commented that "Mun Jung Hyuk's acting is very unnatural", "He doesn't seem to be suitable for sageuk dramas", "The drama doesn't seem very focused".

Postive comments were posted too, "It's only been 2 episodes, it's a little quick to pass judgement now", "He's doing better than I expected. Especially his crying scenes, those were the best".

Based on research agency TNS' statistics, Strongest Chil Woo garnered 11.5% and 9.1% for its 1st and 2nd episodes respectively, while rival SBS drama Gourmet had ratings of 13.2% and 16.1% for its 1st and 2nd episode.

THE REASON BEHIND THE RESPONSE TO ERIC'S PERFORMANCE
(I don't know who wrote this, but this reporter seems to have something against Eric )

After watching Eric's performance in the first 2 episodes of Strongest Chil Woo, it leads one to recall the article "Who said Eric's acting is good?", written after the first 2 episodes of 2005's Super Rookie.

When that article was first published, many of Eric's fans jumped to his defence. 3 years later, viewers are once again criticising Eric for his first attempt at a sageuk drama, saying that "Eric can only act with his mouth", "Eric can't act in sageuk dramas", "He has shown the limits of his acting skills".

Criticisms about Eric's acting started way before Strongest Chil Woo, in all his dramas and movies. Eric rose up the ranks as an actor with his performance in Phoenix. To be honest, it was more of the role itself plus Shinhwa's popularity that propelled him to the status of a star. Since then, his acting has been much commented on.

However, after his success in Phoenix, Eric hasn't proved himself in his other projects. In Super Rookie and KSA, he had to portray lively and creative characters with natural delivery of lines and good coordination with the camera crew and his co-stars. For him, much improvement was needed.

Despite the flaws in his acting, the production companies only consider Eric's popularity, and fans also show their support for him. In any case, Eric hasn't been able to expand his range in his projects.

This time round, his performance in Strongest Chil Woo has not only been questioned by industry experts, but viewers as well. Eric is no longer a rookie like he was during Phoenix, and he can't be exempt from harsh criticism anymore.

Viewers now are very rational, and they watch dramas not based on the popularity of the cast, but based on the acting abilities of the cast instead.

If the actors are competent they can overcome flaws in the script. On the other hand, a good script can be marred by bad acting as well.

Having humbly accepted the criticisms for the first 2 episodes, Eric now needs to work hard to rectify the problems.

[08.06.15] [News] Let's put a stop to female domination in the gayo world (Kim Dongwan)

Stop female domination! Last year the gayo (music/singing) world was dominated by Wonder Girls, SNSD, Jewelry and other female girl bands. One of the male solo singers who are able to stop the trend has returned to gather with his fans. And he is Shinhwa's Kim Dongwan.

'Not worried about enlistment!'

For men, the burden of enlisting into the army is more than what we imagine. But for Kim Dongwan, he does not feel this way. Instead, he wishes to be able to spend his time before enlistment with his fans, participate in various gayo programmes and to present his best side to fans.

Kim Dongwan mentions, 'This year is my tenth year in the industry as well. As part of Shinhwa and as a solo singer and also as an actor, there really is no time to take a break, all I could do was to look ahead and go forward', 'enlistment will mean a temporary break from the entertainment industry, and making use of this time that belongs only to me to recharge. Instead of fearing fans will forget about me, I prefer to present only my best to fans and this carries more hope', showing his confidence.

No matter what, now is the time to make use of what I have learnt so far. Thus, I am making preparations for my first solo concert. I am not doing it because I feel obliged to, but because I do want to hold a concert and present what I have on stage, and I am working hard for it. It will probably be held in September.

He has been rather active after he released his second solo album. The title track 'Secret' is a electronic song and Kim Dongwan has attracted much attention with his change in music style. The choreographed dance is a trend-setter with its taekwondo influenced moves and it fits in well with the song.

For fans who loved his first solo album song, 'Handkerchief' and 'It's my fault' might have been disappointed with the second album, but nevertheless, the second album has contained his charms.

The first song, 'Man's love' is a rearrangement of Bon Jovi's 'Always'. Its strong beat, its bass, guitar and the moving lyrics has made the song more beautiful. Also, 'Person I like' was written by his composer friend, Ahn Hyung Min as a gift and in this song, the violin has adequately brought out the sadness and pain.

The duet with Jade Valerie 'You Don't Know Me' is an fast-tempo electronic song that leaves a deep impression on people.

There are many songs in his second album that stands out, like 'Honey' where Shinhwa member Eric rapped in, 'Why' which features Heritage, and also in 'Secret', SNSD's Tiffany has a part in the narration.

[08.06.14][News] We Got Married 100th Day Anniversary Special Event






MBC Sunday Sunday Night popular segment “We Got Married” will soon showcase their three original make-believe couples, Andy and Solbi, Crown J and Seo In Young, Alex and Shin Ae celebrating their “100th day” (from 16 March to 23rd June) together on the show in a special event.




In a phone interview with PD Kim

*** The three couples will have a special event to commemorate their 100th day together. Crown J and Seo In Young have done their wedding photoshoot on 9th June, bringing their own stuff for the photoshoot and matching it with outfits belonging to their style.

*** Alex and Shin Ae did their photoshoot yesterday at a wedding studio in Chungdam-dong, Seoul. Alex prepared two suits while Shin Ae wore an elegant wedding gown showing her femininity.

Meanwhile, for highest popularity couple, Andy and Solbi, the PD had decided to keep their special event a secret (ohh, the suspense!!). But it was revealed in another news that Andy and Solbi will have their wedding photoshoot outdoors unlike the other two couples who did it indoors.

Park Myung Soo, soon to become a father, also officially took over the MC role vacated by outgoing female MC, Kim Won Hee who left to film a drama.

There were complaints from viewers that the expansion from 4 to five couples has severely shortened the time that each couple has on the show. But PD Kim expressed, “The viewers might find that the time has become shorter, but frankly the length of the show is longer by 10 mins compared to the beginning.” (yah, great job of not answering the question!)


This wedding photoshoot special event will be shown on 29th June, showing the entire process of the three couples from picking their outfits to the actual photoshoot. No mention was made of the other two couples, Kim Hyun Joong and Hwang Bo, Lee Hwi Jae and Jo Yeo Jeong of their missions.


One more thing to share is Crown J and Seo In Young will meet Kim Hyun Joong and Hwang Bo at the same water park. What fireworks will happen between the two funniest couples? Can’t wait for this Sunday!!!

[08.06.14][News] Mun Jung Hyuk Interacts with Beauties and Elephants


Were there elephants in the marketplace during the Joseon Dynasty? Yes, in KBS 2TV‘Strongest Chil Woo’.

The elephant made its way to Gyeong Buk Munkyeong on 13 June from Seoul Grand Park. The fees a day for the filming is 1000 won, a high price to pay for the special appearance.

This is to film episode 6, where the elephant is presented to the Qing dynasty to improve diplomatic ties. As the main lead in this scene, this big actress was able to carry out the scenes as required under supervision, displaying its ‘acting skills’ and this has impressed all the fans present.

In order to get better shots, the director sat on the elephant and the elephant stretched its legs, giving the audience a feeling it was hanging on due to the weight on its back. The filming with the elephant was enjoyable as it was tame and gentle by nature, leaving a memorable experience for the actors.

The elephant’s appearance caused uproar at the film set for the whole day. Whenever Mun Jung Hyuk was free, he would attempt to touch the elephant or to feed her with carrots. It was either the elephant knew he was the lead actor, or she really liked him, she actually likes to follow him around, and this made actual filming easy, displaying the chemistry between the two.

A related party from the production company olive9 expresses, ‘On such a warm day filming here, nobody could rest with the elephant here. But the elephant was able to adapt and was not nervous. To film more smoothly with the elephant, the actors took the initiative to interact with the elephant at the park earlier on. This made the filming safer and easier.’

‘To prevent any accidents, everyone was on their toes. However the elephant was tame and gentle, and so the filming could go on smoothly.’

Mun Jung Hyuk, Gu Hye Sun stars in ‘Strongest Chil Woo’ that premieres on 17June.

[08.06.13][News]The girl who unsettles 'Strongest Chil Woo' Mun Jung Hyuk?

This is one of Chil Woo’s lines in the recent trailer of ‘Strongest Chil Woo’ that premieres on 17 June.

A charismatic assassin, Chil Woo (Mun Jung Hyuk) gives his heart to one girl, who understands his love but asking him to forget her, So Yoon (Gu Hye Sun). The love story between the two is what eager fans are more concerned about.

So Yoon is Chil Woo’s first love, and she was chosen to be given to the Qing dynasty emperor as a palace maid. Chil Woo was prepared to give up everything to escape with her, but she eventually left him to go to China. After a period of time, she appeared in front of Chil Woo, but as a slave to someone beside Chil Woo.

So Yoon who is played by Gu Hye Sun says when introducing her character, ‘So Yoon is a girl with her hidden stories. You will know it when you watch the show, and you will understand that behind her smiles are sadness and frustrations’. ‘Although there are reasons as to why So Yoon is pushing Chil Woo away, she actually does love him deep inside’.

To Gu Hye Sun, ‘Chil Woo in the daytime is a straightforward, charming and lovable person’, but to So Yoon, ‘thinks Chil Woo who fights for justice is one whom she is proud of’, expressing the two different irresistible sides of Chil Woo.

Additionally, they share a intricate relationship, ‘Although Chil Woo has forgiven So Yoon for all that she has done, when they meet up Chil Woo feels awkward inevitably. Maybe the day will come when Chil Woo really opens up to So Yoon.

The warm-hearted assassin Chil Woo is quiet, but when he is with the strong So Yoon, he can be cute at times. This love story will unveil in KBS 2TV ‘Strongest Chil Woo’ on 17 June.

[08.06.12][News] ‘Strongest Chil Woo’ Mun Jung Hyuk-Gu Hye Sun tired out


KBS 2TV’s new drama ‘Strongest Chil Woo’ has been filming through the night continuously.

At 1pm on 10th June, Gu Hyesun - who plays the role of So Yoon - reached the venue of the ceremony with a very weary demeanor, the result of an overnight filming session.

Jung Jin who plays Sa Na Jang describes Gu Hye Sun saying, ‘She has been looking weary and today, she looks exhausted’. Since official filming has started, Gu Hye Sun has hardly slept in a week. Everyone has only been taking short naps during the journeys between Tae-an, Mun Kyeong and Pyeongtaek.

The leading actor Chil Woo (Mun Jung Hyuk) has not slept in a week either, and has only taken a wink this afternoon.

Mun Jun Hyuk says, ‘I haven’t slept because of the overnight filming, and it is tough. But the strange thing is, once it’s morning, I feel energetic and awake.’

And so, Mun Jung Hyuk will be joking and playing around with Gu Hye Sun, and other people at the filmset.

After this scene was completed, they had to rush to Tae-An to film the horse-riding scenes. And after that, they had to go to Mun Kyeong to continue their filming.

On 13 June, there will be an elephant scene and this will be the first in Korean drama.

Mun Junk Hyuk says, ‘Everyone is working hard for this. I hope we do achieve good results’.

‘Strongest Chil Woo’ premieres 17 June on KBS 2TV.
