“Gentle” singers Lee Seung Gi and Andy become troublemakers

The proper boy with model behaviour – Lee Seung Gi – plays a haughty chaebol heir Sunwoo Hwan in ‘Brilliant Legacy’, while romantic and sentimental Andy plays a loafer who insists on keeping up appearances. From singers to actors, they portray characters who act completely opposite of their images for the sake of doing well in their roles, and this is a step in their transformation process.

Lee Seung Gi plays Sunwoo Hwan in ‘Brilliant Legacy’, a character that defies every part of his existing image. He said, “Because the difference between my image and the character is really maximum, it seems that the viewers are curious and they find it interesting.”

Of course there was some suffering at the beginning due to the controlled pace. On his 180-degree change from the existing image of Lee Seung Gi, there were comments from viewers such as, “It’s like he’s wearing clothes that don’t fit him” and that he couldn’t conceal his sense of awkwardness. He said, “The viewers’ sobering assessment made me re-analyse the character. The troublemaking but clumsy Sunwoo Hwan, slowly gives away his cute yet emotional side.” The result is a great success, giving Lee Seung Gi a taste of success, with his first drama in which he’s the male lead, garnering ratings of more than 30%.

On playing Sunwoo Hwan, Lee Seung Gi said, “I hope I can be viewed in a different light, that there’s a possibility of me being an actor.”

Andy has also undergone a successful transformation with his role as Yoon Nam Joon in ‘Two Wives’. Although he doesn’t own much material wealth, neither is he capable, he insists on keeping up with appearances all the way and is somewhat insensible and immature.

Andy’s first scene in the drama was when he returned to Korea a penniless man after getting conned of his money, with his shabby appearance giving viewers a refreshing surprise.

His management company has expressed great satisfaction at the results. “There wasn’t a special intention to change his image, it’s just he received an offer for the project, which he happened to like, that’s why he agreed to take part in the drama. There are numerous differences between the image he has and his drama character, and in the end he achieved a successful transformation. “I had the thought of wanting to give it my best shot”, and it seems that the viewers are aware of that too. “Because I’m the youngest member in Shinhwa, my maknae image has left a very deep impression on everyone. Now I hope to let everyone see me as a man.”

[09.06.29] Lee Minwoo’s Vol 4.5 mini-album hits #1 within first week of release

Singer Lee Minwoo’s new mini-album has garnered good results within the first week of release. His Vol 4.5 album, Minnovation – released on 23rd June – has topped the Hanteo aggregate sales chart.

On the Hanteo charts dated 28th June, Minnovation overtook 2PM and Lee Seung Chul to grab the number one spot, and has also took first place on the Kyobo and Hottrack charts for the month of June. According to a spokesperson for Lee Minwoo, the reason why this album has received so much attention is because Lee Minwoo has personally produced the album and he also wrote the lyrics and music for Minnovation the title track.”

And especially since the 18,000 copies of the special limited edition album are about to be sold out very soon, Lee Minwoo has plans for another round of production.

An official from MRizing said, “Minnovation is a song whose charm you can feel more when you combine it with the visual appeal of Lee Minwoo’s dance choreography. From early July onwards, he will be actively participating in various music programs and variety shows.”

[09.06.29] Lee Minwoo is now “grooming the second Shinhwa”

Shinhwa’s Lee Minwoo has attracted attention with his announcement that he is currently grooming the second Shinhwa.

During a recent interview with Star News, Lee Minwoo said, “I’m now grooming a batch of new singers, and my goal is to groom a second Shinhwa.” Lee Minwoo has been involved in production since setting up his entertainment management agency MRizing Entertainment.

“The title song has already been chosen. I hope to create a boyband-group like Shinhwa.”

He further explained his point of view, “The concept of the new groups these days tend to overlap, and it’s difficult to do well. The attractiveness of the pop music of this generation has declined, thus it will be very important to find a distinct color to the group’s music.”

When asked about the driving force behind his challenge to create the second Shinhwa, Lee Minwoo said, “Because the Shinhwa members all believe me.”

Lee Minwoo also expressed his hopes, “The relationship between the Shinhwa members is such that, for every one thing any of us receives, we will give two things in return. Because of this implied agreement between us, we have faith in each other’s music and performances. Being an original member of the original Shinhwa, I hope that I can groom them in such a way that they grow with some of our distinct characteristics, and it will be best if they can be a source of strength to us in future.”

Lee Minwoo has just released his new mini-album ‘Minnovation’ on 23rd June.

[09.06.28] Dongwan’s memolog: Relationships.

here we go again, another one of Dongwan's mind bogglers. what the heck does he mean here.
================================================

Even if I have a go at it as if I’m crazy.
If I were to feel even just a little hindrance to my time.
The intention to maintain the relationship will completely disappear.
Being terribly sensitive, I’m confirming today that the dreadful selfishness has increased.
Why on earth…

[09.06.28] Lee Minwoo: Michael Jackson’s death stings my heart

World-class pop star Michael Jackson has passed away on 25th June.

Amidst the outpouring of grief around the world, Korean dance singer Lee Minwoo, who has just released his new mini-album Minnovation, also expresses his regrets.

In an interview with Osen on 26th June, he said “The sadness is really indescribable, it’s like in 1995 when DEUX member Kim Sung Jae whom I really liked and respected, passed away. When Kim Sung Jae passed away, I was heartbroken, and I placed his album in front of me as I prayed.”

“When I heard about Michael Jackson’s passing this morning, I felt a sting in my heart. It’s like I have a big wound in my heart. Michael Jackson is my hero, and I’ve been working hard in order to achieve what he has achieved. Now that I’m a step closer to my goal, my hero has left the world, and I really feel very sad. Although he lived a spectacular life, there were many unfortunate things as well. I believe Michael Jackson’s energy will live on. I really regret not being able to watch Michael Jackson performing live anymore.”

Hyesung and Ji Hoon – InStyle July 09 (scans + translation)

(pictures will be posted later) :)

ROW 1, PIC 2
No.1112, Route 2 Road
“On a road with no mobile phone reception, if the car breaks down, then we’ll have to ask the other vehicles for assistance, right?”
Lee Ji Hoon follows Shin Hyesung’s instructinos. Even if they don’t say it out loud, they know what each other is thinking, and that’s what true friends are. Driving on No.1112 Route 2 towards Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak), one can fully take in the wide plains on both sides of the road and little streets formed by rows of fir trees.

SHIN HYESUNG & LEE JI HOON
Friends On A Camping Car Road Trip To Jejudo

There is only one reason behind the decision of the well-known showbiz buddies to travel to Jejudo. That is, “It’s going to be fun.”
“I probably go travelling with Hyesung about two to three times in a year. We would swim, sleep, play golf… Mostly it’s to rest and relax. But driving a camping car to Jejudo this time round, it really ignited our curiosity. We even played rock, paper, scissors to decide who gets to drive (laughs)”

Shin Hyesung, Lee Ji Hoon and Kangta are well known as best buddies in showbiz. Their relationship dates back to ten years ago when they weren’t enjoying popularity as idol stars and were going through difficult times. They had experienced all kinds of pain and setbacks after becoming entertainers at such a young age, but the three of them supported and encouraged each other throughout. As Kangta is now serving his military duty, the three of time rarely get to meet up, but they would definitely spend any days off together.

“During the period while Kangta is serving his military duty, Ji Hoon and I have been going on trips, so Kangta gets pretty jealous and say that we’re neglecting him. Though it’s nice to travel alone too, but it would be more fun to travel with a friend who shares your interests. Ji Hoon and I have similar hobbies too.”

In the summer, they would go fishing by the sea or by the river, and the two sports-loving buddies just returned from a golfing trip in Shenyang, China.
“Actually we just came back from China and now we’re off to Jejudo. We went to China purely to take a break, so we woke up really late, ate lots of good food, we’re pretty lazy, aren’t we” (Ji Hoon)

Having decided to travel by camping car, the two of them quickly prepared food, game machines and movie DVDs etc. While looking at the map, gourmet Lee Ji Hoon declares that he will visit every restaurant in Jejudo.
“The best thing about travelling is being able to taste the local delicacies, isn’t it. Ji Hoon and I would try all the local specialties when we go travelling.” (Hyesung)

Deciding whether to have abalone stew or black pork for dinner, the two haggle for a while and then starts planning the next stop.

ROW 2, PIC 1
1. Phoenix Island – Sopjikogi (on the eastern coast of Jejudo)
“So this is where the famous drama ‘All In’ was filmed” (Ji Hoon)
“But we can’t drive the camping car in here” (Hyesung)
As we want to do the photoshoot at Sopjikogi on Jejudo’s eastern coast, the camping car is driven onto the plains, and the two guys are very excited.
“But I shouldn’t be here at such a picturesque place with Hyesung, I should be here with my girlfriend (laughs)”

ROW 2, PIC 2
2. Camping Car For A Week
Travelling by camping car isn’t troublesome and allow travellers to enjoy the trip freely. The two guys are very happy.
“Accommodation and meals are settled all at once, and the rental cost of a camping cost for 1N2D is only about 20,000KRW. It can become a low-budget trip, I like it a lot” (Hyesung)

3. The Basics Of Food Preparation
“Although a camping car can take care of accommodation and food, you still have to remember to bring necessities like toiletries, chopsticks, spoons, cups and plates.” For the trip, Lee Ji Hoon ambitiously prepares grilled sausages for lunch.
“I packed the vegetables for the sausages in an icebox. I can be considered as a top nominee for best bridegroom, no? (laughs)”

4. Bringing DVDs
Special region-specific camping car TVs aren’t common in Jejudo
“I already checked it out, so I brought along a couple of DVDs. I’m thinking of opening the windows at night, and with the cool breeze blowing, I’ll watch a comedy while drinking canned beer.” (Hyesung)

ROW 2, PIC 3
Having lost to Lee Ji Hoon, Shin Hyesung doesn’t get to have his abalone stew, and he swears to win tomorrow so that he gets to eat it. Drinking away happily, the two guys are after all buddies for 10 years.

Shin Hyesung has been busy with his album and his Asian tour, while Lee Ji Hoon has been busy with his musical. Though they don’t get to meet up often because of their busy work schedules, but when they do, they can’t stop talking, and unknowingly they’ve already chatted til dawn.

“Taking time off to travel with friends, it’s partly to rest and relax, but more importantly it’s to chat, and share our troubles. When either of us is feeling tired and having a difficult time, we want to encourage and help each other out.” (Ji Hoon)
To Shin Hyesung and Lee Ji Hoon, a friendship trip is a good way to temporarily cast aside the drudgery of daily life, and to give time to recharge themselves. When asked about their next destination, both of them replied at the same time, “The US”.

“I did my high school and senior high in the US, and my friends in the US have been asking me to take a vacation there. Ji Hoon hasn’t been to the US, so he wants to go take a look too.” (Hyesung)

The two guys are almost like lovers (?) who want to take care of each other. Shin Hyesung is still busy with his Asian tour, and Lee Ji Hoon is about to start on a hectic drama filming schedule, so it won’t be easy to schedule their next trip together.

When Kangta is discharged from the army, they will have to go on a trip together. As for the destination, they’ve been discussing it for a long time. They’ll let Kangta decide, and then go by camping car.
“Since we’re here on Jejudo, we’ll have to go fishing. I didn’t catch any sea breams the last time, I should be able to catch some together with Hyesung right? (laughs)

ROW 3, PIC 1
6. Looking For The Driving Route
As they are driving a camping car, the two guys seem to have abandoned the thought of being passengers.
“Though it doesn’t feel as satisfying as driving a sports car, but you can drive it to your heart’s content, and it’s really fun. The coastal roads on Jejudo are really suitable for driving” (Hyesung)

7. On The Way To The ‘All In’ House At Sopjikogi
“Since we’re here at Sopjikogi, we can’t miss the ‘All In’ House” (Ji Hoon)
Following the coastal roads is all picturesque scenery, and the mountain range of Sopjikogi is where we’re headed towards

8. OK Seungmajang (OK Horse Riding Ranch)
“I picked up horse-riding not too long ago, it’s really very interesting. This white horse is my first horse. (laughs)”

9. Pyoseon Beach
“Wow~ It’s the sea!” The two guys jump for joy upon seeing the sea. Jeju’s Pyoseon Beach is the only place where the coastal road and the beach are right next to each other, and the naturally formed Pine Tree Campground, which is just right for camping car trips.

SHIN HYESUNG’S JEJUDO 3 MUST-GO’S

Miniature Theme Park

Bulguksa Temple (Korea), Forbidden City (China), the Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italy) and landmarks from more than 30 countries are all featured here, and visitors will be able to have first-hand experience of Jejudo’s local culture . Enquiry hotline: 064-794-5400

Jungmun Daepo Jusang Jeollidae (Jungmun Daepo Columnar Joints)
Visible within 1.75km from the Jungmun Sightseeing District in Seogwipo City, the columnar joints are the most beautiful of Jejudo’s coastal precipices. A result of volcanic lava being shaped by waves and the wind, the rocks look so exquisite as if they were manmade.

Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak)
Seongsan Ilchulbong is one of the volcanoes on Jejudo’s eastern coast, the sight of the sunrise from here is so indescribably beautiful that it will take your breath away.

On my way home I suddenly thought of you
Amidst the familiar sound of rain, I call out for you**

흐르는 듯 한 눈물만큼은 너에게 보이지 않으려
아무렇지 않은 듯 한 모습을 하고 뒤돌아서서
나 아닌 사람을 사랑하고 있다는
오래전부터 느껴왔단 말이야 모른 척 할 수 없었어

I didn’t want to let you see my tears flowing
As if nothing happened, I turned around
I know there’s someone you love
I felt it long ago, I can’t pretend not to know anymore

미련 따위는 내게 남아 있지 않은 것처럼
보다 차갑게 보이기로 했어 이별을 바란 것처럼
나 아닌 다른 사람을 사랑하고 있다는 걸

To Michael Jackson

To the Original King of Pop, Michael Jackson .....

May your soul rest in peace.

You have been my idol since i was young, despite negative press releases about you, i never once judged you. I love you as a singer who made beautiful music and someone who has touched many lives due to your talent.

Death is just an incident that would eventually happen in the near future to everyone, but death wont be a hindrance to those who will always remain grateful to your music.

Sleep well my MJ. Be among the angels that sing up there in heaven.

About Dongwan’s memolog entry: 에너-nim…

Is complaining…
Let’s all express our heartfelt consolation

Hee. ^_^

An explanation I found from Dongwan’s Baidu fanpage:

에너 is a fan who posted (jokingly) a comment on Yoenin (Dongwan’s Korean fansite):

Although I feel happy for the Shinhwa oppa’s finding love and talking about marriage, but if oppa-yam (referring to Dongwan) finds a girlfriend, I’ll stick gum on his hair. ㅡ,.ㅡ

Then she commented on some photos on Dongwan’s blog.

It seems that he wrote that entry as a response to her post… And there was a funny reply to that from another fan, who wrote:

If oppa wants to announce that he has a girlfriend, he’d better search on Naver (the Korean equivalent of Google) for ways to remove gum from hair before he makes his announcement.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[09.06.26] Junjin: In 10 years’ time I’ll be happily married with kids (2 articles)

Lee Shi Young’s boyfriend Junjin (real name Park Choong Jae) said in an interview that in 10 years’ time, he “will be happily married with kids”.

After Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Shanghai and Chengdu, Junjin performed at the last stop of his Asian tour in Beijing on 20th June. Having admitted to dating Lee Shi Young a day earlier on 19th June, Junjin was interviewed by Chinese online portal Sohu, and talked about his girlfriend Lee Shi Young.

During the interview, with regards to his public declaration, he said, “I feel good. I’m curious to know what my fans think about my girlfriend.”

When asked about how Shinhwa would be like 10 years from now, Junjin said, “10 years later we’ll still be on stage, we’ll all be happily married with adorable children.”

Though Junjin didn’t specifically talk about marriage plans, he mentioned in the interview that it was love at first sight for him, and because of that, they were more natural in their portrayal of a married couple on MBC variety show ‘We Got Married’.

—————————————————————————–
(It’s the same interview as above, just that it’s in Q&A format)

Q: Now the fans are most concerned about Junjin’s love life. How do you feel now?
A: I feel good. I’m curious to know what my fans think about my girlfriend.

Q: The fans are curious about what attracted you to Lee Shi Young.
A: She has many attractive points – she’s simple, occasionally very stubborn, and she’s very forthcoming. The first impression is very important to me, and my first impression of Lee Shi Young was very good.

Q: Was it love at first sight?
A: Yes

Q: If that’s the case, how was it like playing a married couple on MBC’s ‘We Got Married’?
A: Because I was attracted to her, I think I was more natural during filming. On the show, we were a make-believe couple, but many couples on the show all faced issues of different personalities. Even though we were also a make-believe couple, I felt that no matter what, you’re most natural when you can feel the attraction from the other party.

Q: It’s been 11 years since Shinhwa’s debut. What will Shinhwa and Junjin be like in 10 years’ time?
A: Even it’s in another 10 years, we’ll still be on stage, and we’ll all be happily married with adorable children. Just like Seo Taiji and Boys, we’ll continue to work hard.

[09.06.24] Lee Minwoo is most nervous when his album goes on sale and when it’s his first stage performance

Singer Lee Minwoo shared his thoughts about the release of his new album via his Cyworld minihompy.

On 23rd June, Lee Minwoo posted a diary entry on his minihompy, saying “Today’s the birthday of the Minnovation mini-album,” and also “If there are nervous moments, it’s when the album goes on sale and when I have my first performance”, clearly displaying his excitement.

“The reason I can’t get to sleep.. It has to be a good present, that’s what I’m hoping.. Because of that… Tonight is going to get even rougher,” he wrote.

Lee Minwoo told Star News on 24th June in an interview that he’s been using his minihompy and online messenger more regularly. “I understand that I can communicate more closely with my fans through my minihompy, so I’ve been leaving messages and uploading photos, and sharing my stories with the fans.”

“I thought that the online messenger can only be used for chatting, but I found out recently about convenient features such as file transfer. It’s fun to find out about these new features.”

He added, “In fact, I used to think that the computer is used mainly for producing music, but now that I know about the new features, I’ll make use of them to communicate more actively with the fans.”

[09.06.24] Dongwan’s Naver blog: 2009 (main page updated)

i heard this story before, its something to reflect on especially by those who think that they’re not worth anything after all the problems/mistakes they mde. Dongwan is on a reflective mood
========================================================

Cassan Said Amer tells the story of a lecturer who began a seminar by holding up a twenty-dollar bill and asking,
‘Who would like this twenty-dollar bill?’
Several hands went up, but the lecturer said,
‘Before I give it to you, I have to do something.’
He screwed it up into a ball and said,
‘Who still wants this bill?’
The hands went up again.
‘And what if I do this to it?’
He threw the crumpled bill at the wall, dropped it on the floor, insulted it, trampled on it, and once more showed them the bill – now all creased and dirty. He repeated the question, and the hands stayed up.
‘Never forget this scene,’ he said.

‘It doesn’t matter what I do to this money. It is still a twenty dollar-bill.
So often in our lives, we are crumpled, trampled, ill-treated, insulted,
And yet, despite all that, we are still worth the same.’

- from Paulo Coelho’s “Like A Flowing River”

Minwoo’s new MRIZING artist homepage

Ok sorry to have digressed… I couldn’t really help it…

Now back to his new artist page – if you log on to

http://www.mrizing.com/08_m/main.htm

This is what you’re gonna see…

Pretty neat, huh? But notice those mass of Korean characters on top of the video screen?

It doesn’t really make sense… until you place your mouse cursor over the mass of words… then you’ll get this:

It reads:

Because I love you
Because I want to see you
Because I miss you
Because I hate to be alone
Because I’m complete with the members beside me
Because I don’t know any other color except orange
Because I don’t have anything except all of you forever
That’s why I’m smiling

Lovely. ^^

Fan recaps summary: Eric’s special screening ‘THE LAST’ in Tokyo

The videos

The behind-the-scene videos didn’t have subtitles and were shown more like a ‘No Cut Story’, but it was still interesting because it shows him playing around with the other actors and also the members. Dongwan was the guest star of the day because he had quite a bit of screen time LOL

- the ‘Super Rookie’ filmsite (he was hugging Oh Ji Ho in that vid)
- the ‘Dong Hwa’ filmsite
- the Coca-Cola CF
- the ‘Diary of June’ filmsite, press conference and also the movie premiere where Jin, Minwoo and Dongwan turned up
- the Baeksang Art Awards, Dongwan was there too
- the fanmeeting he had in Japan when ‘Super Rookie’ was aired, the guest was Hyesung
- the press conference for ‘Wolf’ and ‘Que Sera Sera’
- the fansigning session for AnyCall
- the SPAM launch party, Dongwan was there… Again! LOLOL


The video messages from the members (excluding Minwoo)

- Andy was at the filmsite for ‘Two Wives’ and mentioned that he’s working very hard on his 2nd album
- Jin announced that Eric put on weight and looks very adorable, and said some congratulatory wishes
- Dongwan was wearing a white tee and a cap that showed his short fringe, and didn’t have make-up on. He spoke in a mix of Korean and Japanese, a little nervous but apparently still looking VERY cute =)
- Hyesung said he went fishing with Eric and according to him, the atmosphere wasn’t great. UH HUH… LOL Hyesung is so embarrassing…. ㅋㅋㅋ

Eric’s apartment

Then the video showing Eric’s apartment, which was very neat
It was the kitchen after walking straight in from the entrance
He doesn’t cook but his refrigerator is fully stocked thanks to his mom – it was stuffed with lots of food – eggs, vegetables, basically lots of protein

Then the living room where there were the 9th album and the White Edition, and NBA DVDs
There was a tree that was directly painted onto the wall, but according to one recap it looked like it was wilting – HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA I sure hope he didn’t paint it himself!
And there was a cupboard full of caps too. Unfortunately his bedroom was off-limits… BUT WHY~~~~~~~

After that they moved on to Eric’s studio where Eric was – the room had music equipment and also some exercise equipment, somewhat messy apparently…

The interview

He said he did put on weight, and he weighs over 85kg now. He wanted to hit 100kg but everyone told him that it’s not too good for his health, so he has been watching his diet and exercising these days. (100kg! LOLOL that weirdo…) His meals these days consist primarily of grilled chicken breast meat, vegetables and more of protein. He said he should be able to shed the weight within 3 months if he watches his diet and exercises regularly. Moreover he has a crewcut now so his face looks round… according to one recap he looked like a high school kid

During his training at Nonsan, he noted down in his notebook everything he wanted to eat after he completed his training – one food item per day he was there… THAT EXPLAINS THE WEIGHT GAIN! LMAO

Then he said he’s been listening to Minwoo’s songs recently. He went to play at the studio where Minwoo was recording and asked for his demo tape to listen to – YES WE KNOW! You’re the troublesome fellow! LOLOL

He said that it’s pretty good, as did the other members. Though it’s a pity he couldn’t be part of the album, but he’s very glad to see such great music being made.

Then yes… going fishing with Hyesung and catching some pretty big fish, and he had photos to show – although the interviewer kind of doubted him, he insisted that he took those photos. He said it must have been Hyesung’s first time fishing, because he was so happy just after catching only 20 fishes – HEHEHEHEHHEHEH *ouch*

About his work, Eric said he was pretty worried before he started work, but his younger colleagues helped him out a lot and he got used to it eventually. He’s even planning to take a trip to one of the islands with his colleagues and friends.

Work at Seoul Metro is pretty irregular, in the day there might be problems and emergencies, and at night there are many things to do as well, so he doesn’t really have time to go drinking. But if the other members have time, he would call them up.

Then he showed the presents he received from the fans who sent them to his office, and he also demonstrated how to bait a hook… He said he hasn’t tried lure fishing before, but he wants to try it the next time – I think Eric fans all need a copy of Fishing For Beginners

And he laughed and said not to pass him gifts when he’s on duty…

Q&A With His Manager

Q: Who stocks up his refrigerator?
A: Eric’s mom will bring food over when it’s empty

Q: When will Eric come to Japan for activities after he is discharged?
A: There are no dates, but he will definitely be coming to Japan

Q: Will he take part in movies and dramas after military service?
A: Before the Shinhwa members all finish with their military service, he should be doing a movie or a drama

Q: Which member does he meet most often?
A: He has been going to Minwoo’s recording studio and he went fishing with Hyesung

Ok this bit is funny – LOLOL LEE SAJANGNIM!!!! The fans must have been hitting on him a lot…
Q: Girlfriend?
A: Me? (and everyone cracks up)
Ah, no (when he realises it’s Eric)
Q: And yourself?
A: No

Q: Has he put on weight lately?
A: He said he weighs 85kg, but he’s about 78kg now

Q: Is he working today?
A: Yes

———————————————-

And now for the photos – There was a downpour but that didn’t keep the fans away







A fan letter to Eric, the entry ticket and… something like an Eric brochure? The letter reads:
“Please stay healthy, I’ll be happy if you could do that”


The gift and DVD that everyone received


And finally - a pic of the 10 limited edition tees autographed by Eric himself

[09.06.23] Junjin-Lee Shi Young on ‘We Got Married’ again? ‘Under consideration’ vs ‘No plans’

why do i feel that something is not right in this relationship. i wish I am wrong this time. really want Junjin to be happy
—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Are singer Junjin and actress Lee Shi Young going back to MBC variety show “We Got Married”?

A spokesperson from Junjin’s management company said on 23 June in a phone interview, “After news of their relationship broke, we received a proposal to appear on the show again. However, being an actual couple their own intentions are the most important, and so no decision has been made as of now.” Junjin is slated to enlist for military service this November.

However, an official from Lee Shi Young’s management company said, “We haven’t been offered any proposal for her to go on the show again. Being an actress, her focus will be on acting.” Lee Shi Young has in fact been cast as the lead actress on an upcoming MBC weekend drama which will take over ‘Good Job, Good Job’ in August.

‘We Got Married’ has recently changed its format to feature real-life couple Kim Young Joon of SG Wannabe and actress Hwang Jung Eum. Lee Shi Young and Junjin were previously on the show as a make-believe couple, but have since then become the first real-life couple from the show. Because of that, to appear on the show again would hold special significance.

—————————————————————————————–
Another take from another article in Star News…

According to a MBC staff member, MBC is now in talks with the management companies of Junjin and Lee Shi Young to bring them back to ‘We Got Married’.

He said, “As WGM has now taken on a new format of featuring real-life couples, it will be interesting to feature a couple who got together because of the show, as it will truly show the process of maintaining the love.”

If Junjin and Lee Shi Young to appear on the show again, they are expected to bring to viewers a style totally different from existing couple Kim Young Joon and Hwang Jung Eum.

Junjin and Lee Shi Young had gone public with their relationship on 19th June. They had appeared as one of the make-believe couples on WGM but eventually developed real feelings for each other. The couple had started dating since March, and ended their stint on the show in early May.

[09.06.22] Lee Minwoo comes back with Vol 4.5 album: M has changed

Singer Lee Minwoo (M) is back with his Vol 4.5 album ‘Minnovation’ after 8 months.

‘Minnovation’ is a portmanteau made up of Lee Minwoo’s name ‘M’ and the word ‘innovation’, to reflect the innovative music on this album.

Lee Minwoo made his debut with idol group Shinhwa in 1998 and released his first solo album ‘Un-Touch-Able’ in 2003. Since them he has released a total of 4 solo albums and also other projects such as mini-albums and singles. Lee Minwoo has been polishing up his songwriting and lyric-writing skills since his time with Shinhwa, which were put to good use in his solo activities. This showed idol group member Lee Minwoo’s abilities as an independent musician and he has even taken on the big role of producer.

The mini-album ‘Minnovation’ focuses all the musical abilities that Lee Minwoo has accumulated in his 11 years of experience, first as part of an idol group and subsequently as an independent musician. This is well demonstrated in the title track ‘Minnovation’, where he undertakes the roles of songwriter and lyricist, and even takes care of music arrangement himself.



Starting with psychedelic synthesizer sounds, the song has a ‘M Technology’ hook using the unique Vox Effect on Lee Minwoo’s song rap, and together with the latest sound sources brought in directly from the UK, a powerful catalytic effect is achieved. The kaleidoscopic sounds and the varied rhythm patterns make it impossible to tear your ears away during the 3 minutes 22 seconds while the song is playing.

For this album, 1TYM’s Song Baek Kyung, songwriter Lee Young Joon, foreign songwriters such as Outsidaz and Yota have teamed up with the songwriters from Lee Minwoo’s previous album to combine various styles for this album. Lee Minwoo has also sampled songs from DMA (US), Anders Davink (Sweden), Shusui Kosugi (Japan) and the final product is the 6 songs featured on the album.

A spokesperson from M Rizing said, “There are 6 tracks on this album, and though it isn’t a big number, all of Lee Minwoo’s music capabilities are concentrated in these 6 tracks. People who have heard the album beforehand have commented that ‘Lee Minwoo’s music has moved on to a new level’, so our expectations are very high.” He added, “Lee Minwoo’s music is such that when combined with his stage performance, a greater synergy is achieved, so please look forward to the first performance.”

“As this is potentially Lee Minwoo’s last album for some time to come, he will be more actively involved in promotional activities than ever.”

[09.06.20] Junjin: I want to be honest and aboveboard in front of love

Currently in China, Junjin speaks to Nocut News through a phone interview and talks about his feelings of bliss.

Singer Junjin (29) candidly confirmed that he is indeed in a romantic relationship with actress Lee Shi Young, saying that he “wants to be honest and aboveboard in front of love”.

Currently in China for an album promotional event, Junjin confirmed the news to Nocut News via a phone interview and spoke of his feelings of bliss and happiness.

“It’s a relief to let it out be know than to lie about it,” Junjin said. “I want to be honest in front of love, and independent of my status as an entertainer, as a man I don’t want to have to conceal my love.”

Junjin and Lee Shi Young’s relationship has been acknowledged as a fact within the industry and also outside of the industry. Junjin does not conceal anything when being interviewed by reporters or asked by friends about his love life, and it’s his forthcoming attitude that makes it hard for the media to sensationalize the news of his relationship.

About Lee Shi Young, Junjin said, “She’s a good person who understands me very well. We started dating 3 months ago.”

Furthermore, Junjin also revealed this fact on the 20th June episode of MBC variety show “Infinite Challenge”.

When asked by the other members, “Lee Shi Young is your girlfriend, isn’t she? Please answer with only ‘yes’ or ‘no’,” to which he said “Yes.”

Junjin said, “When the other members asked me if she’s my girlfriend, I just couldn’t say ‘no’, so I just told the truth.”

Junjin also explained the ‘완전 사랑합니다’ (Wanjeon saranghamnida / I completely love you) message on his Cyworld page. “That has been there for a long time now, and it’s a popular catchphrase I used during the ‘Love Letter’ days.”

“That message is meant for the fans, not for my girlfriend. I’d like to leave a more beautiful message on my minihompy page for her.”

He is also preparing to meet the press on 23 June to announce the relationship officially. “I’m sorry to have to ask the reporters to come because of my private affairs, but I’ve prepared a simple press conference to address everyone’s concerns and questions.”

Junjin and Lee Shi Young first met on the MBC variety show “We Got Married” as a make-believe couple, but have since them developed a real-life romantic relationship.

Junjin will return to Korea from his event in China on 21st June.
