...Hallyu began roughly 12 years ago when the rest of Asia discovered Korean soap operas. One of the breakthrough dramas was a series 'Winter Sonata' starring Choi Ji-woo & Bae Young-Joon.

J.Tune Entertainment has denied that singer-actor Rain will be entering the military in October.
A report earlier in the day said that Rain, real name Jung Ji-hoon, will serve in the military in three months time but an official at J.Tune told 10Asia over the phone that a date has not been set.
"It is true that he plans to enter the military this year but nothing has been set on the exact time of his military entrance. He hasn't even received a draft notice," the official added.
Rain was supposed to enter the military last year but was deferred to this year after he requested for a postponement, initially to study for his master's degree and then for career reasons.
Since then, he had starred in TV series "Fugitive: Plan B" and has been filming his movie "Take Off: Closer to the Sun" (translated title) which is a remake of 1964 pic "Red Muffler."
"Rain is currently preparing for his nationwide tour and is in the process of wrapping up filming of his movie...... Then we'll think of what he'll do next," the official explained, while adding, "He does plan to release another album before he enters the military but this too hasn't been set."
Rain, considered one of biggest stars in Korea and throughout Asia since the start to his solo singing career in 2002, will tour Korea throughout August and September.
