MinWoo, Eraser MV New Image

From an artiste to producer, Lee Min Woo was hoping to be JunJin's first solo single album producer but because of the time and music genre, he could only give it up sadly. Lee Min Woo instead became the producer for new female artiste SAT's first single solo album.

The shooting for the MV of the title song of the single, "Eraser" took place in an abandoned school on December 6th, 2006. Lee Min Woo not only produced the single but also participated and made an appearance in the MV. His new image in the MV will be shown to the public for the first time in Sina Entertainment News.

Andy's cross dressing appearance gave fans a good laugh!

"So hilarious!!"

Shin Jung Hwan and Andy's cross-dressing appearance have filled many audiences with laugther.

On the 29th November, during the episode of Gold Fishery 'OK Scene' segment, Shin Jung Hwan and Andy played Chae Gyung, the female lead role in MBC's popular drama Goong. This character who was originally played by Yoon EunHye is about a commoner who became a crown princess, just like a modern day Cinderella.

In the show, Shin Jung Hwan and Andy's "charismatic" cross-dressing gained a lot of viewership.

Shin Jung Hwan got to play the confession and kissing scene of Chae Gyung and Shin, with Kang Ho Dong as Shin. This parody scene brought many laughter. As Shin Jung Hwan's cross dressing seems so natural.

The most interesting scene is the kiss. Shin Jung Hwan who initially felt uncomfortable said I can't do it." But they did a splendid finish after that, this led the whole cast to applause for them.

Andy and Im ChaeMoo played a parody scene of "Shin and Chae Gyung's first night". At the first half of the scene, Andy kept laughing. "When I thought of myself being dressed like that, it made me laugh". This role gave him pressure therefore he ended up having many NGs.

Andy who displayed superb acting skill as good as Shin Jung Hwan's, received a 'thumbs up from the producer. In parody of Kim SamSoon, Kang HoDong and Andy's kiss scene had also received recognition. On the day of broadcast, many viewers had given very good comment on their acting skills.

Singers-Turned-Actors: the Best and the Worst

In Korea, singers don't just sing to make a living any more. They try hard to map out a career cycle as entertainers, with the arch usually taking them into acting ventures of varying success. In soap operas particularly, some acquit themselves well. Others, however, provoke derision from Korea’s merciless Netizens for the way they flounce and pout around the sets.

In fact, the majority of soap leads are played by singers today. The Chosun Ilbo asked 14 writers and producers of hit dramas who the best and worst of the bunch are. We asked them to rank the top three in each category by giving three points to the best, two to the second best and one to the third.


Among men, famously ambitious Rain came top with a score of 29 for appearances in “Full House” and “A Love to Kill.” Praise was fulsome. "He successfully appeals to the public with his ability to express feelings in a sympathetic way and by making the transition from singer to actor very naturally,” one panel member enthused. "He’s a jewel. It would have been such a loss if he hadn’t decided to act.” In second was Kim Chang-wan with 13 points, followed by Kim Dong-wan with 10 points and Lim Chang-jung with 9. Mun Jeong-hyeok or Eric, who landed in fifth with 8 points, got mixed reviews. Some said he was “taking full advantage of his pretty face and ability as an entertainer." Others were less kind.

28/11 Dongwan's Japanese Diary Entry

2006-11-28 (23:29)
It's DongWan!

This diary entry is late.
It's because I drank a lot of beer on our last day.. [in Japan]
Like always, you can't stop [eating and drinking] Japanese beer and Ramen. ^^

Yesterday was HyeSung's birthday.
HyeSung had a birthday party with his family members.
I also wanted to go there very much, but I did not receive a letter of invitation. -_-; ^0^/!
But seeing this, on the night of the 23rd inside the good japan office,
there were still happy memories because HyeSung and I opened our presents together!
haha ...

Today it rained a lot in Seoul.
From tomorrow onwards, Seoul will be extremely cold.
Is it already cold in Tokyo?
Autumn is a little lonely, so Winter is a season to look foward to~!

And although this is late,
thank you to the many people who came to our fanmeeting..
People who happily viewed my performance even though I didn't prepare anything special.
As usual, exile's song is difficult.. -___-;

But JunJin's performance was really refreshing! Right?
But, can I use this word [refreshing] on people?

Hmm..
Today there was a meeting with many actors and it's tiring..
This kind of feeling is good! ^_^

Well then good night~

p.s What is the meaning of the story "Cat which lived for a million times" ?
p.s 2 Photos of my cute goguma~ ^__^

Sungie Says Thank You

To "SyoungIn"

Every year on my birthday, I smile.
Thank you very very much for all the things all of you gave me~~
Nowadays, because I have been living a little quietly,
it seems that there are many people who are missing me.
In order to show a better side of myself, I need time to think on my own and so, please wait for a little while more.
Sooner or later, I will greet all of you with my excellent appearance.
It's winter now, be careful of cold and always be happy~!!

It's Sungie's Turn, Let's Party

November 27 is a red letter day for fans of Shinhwa lead vocal Shin Hyesung. And distance is not an excuse to party so that's what we did (or at least my friends did) last night.

A specially made birthday cake

And what's a party without balloons...orange balloons.
