The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (‘MOGEF‘) have just revealed their first batch of ‘dangerous material’ for 2012.

On January 16th, the MOGEF announced that they’ve censored the music videos for Huh Gak’s “Hello” and Kim Hyun Joong’s “Lucky Guy” due to its inappropriate content for minors.

The MOGEF claims that Huh Gak’s “Hello” is too violent, while Kim Hyun Joong’s “Lucky Guy” encourages recklessness.

Joining Huh Gak and Kim Hyun Joong on the list are Simon D, Tablo, and Yoon Mi Rae. Simon D’s “Cheerz” has been censored because of the MV’s inclusion of “hazardous substances” and “immoral lodgings”, while Tablo’s “Bad” contains “portrayals of violence and appearance of hazardous substances”. Yoon Mi Rae’s “Get It In” has likewise been struck out for its scenes of violence.

The censorship will go into effect starting January 23rd.

Earlier today, CJ Media has released its last official poster for the highly anticipated series “Dream High 2.” Two posters, featuring the six main leads and the entire cast, released last week have stirred a lot of interest and anticipation online. This last poster also features the six leads of the drama – Park Seo Joon, JB, T-ara’s Park Ji Yeon, Kang So Ra, 2AM’s Jung Jin Woon , and SISTAR’s Hyorin – displaying their character’s personalities through their expressions. Park Seo Joon, JB, and Park Ji Yeon look cool and confident, just like their characters; while Kang Sora, Jung Jin Woon, and Hyorin have slightly goofy expressions and smiles.

Park Seo Joon, JB, Park Ji Yeon, and Hyorin take on the roles of Si Woo, JB, Lian, and Nana respectively - four of Korea’s best idol stars. Jung Jin Woon and Kang Sora play Jin Yoo Jin and Shin Hae Sung – two knucklehead music students.



Si Woo (Park Seo Joon) is a good-looking, devilish idol who can easily make a girl’s heart flutter with his killer smile. JB (JB) is a talented perfectionist with a hint of arrogance. Lian (Park Ji Yeon) is a member of popular girl group Hershe, who aspires to one day be the “Queen of the Cannes Film Festival,” but lacks the acting ability to do so. Nana (Hyorin) is a cool and relaxed girl who has a natural talent for singing. Jin Yoon Jin (Jung Jin Woon) is a troubled student, who’s full of himself, aspiring to be a rock star. Shin Hae Sung (Kang So Ra) is an awkward student from an unfortunate background who learns music solely through books, writing, and effort.



Park Jin Young will reprise his role as one of the teachers at Kirin Arts High School, which is in dire financial situation and in danger of shutting down. The second season will showcase the fierce music/dance battles between the top idol stars, who are about to have nervous breakdowns, and the school's troubled students. The upcoming drama also stars Ailee, After School's Gahee, Kim Ji Soo, Choi Yeo Jin , and others.

“Dream High 2” will air January 30 on KBS at 9:55PM KST.

The two S.H.E members contributed cash for the lucky draw during their company's annual dinner

Taiwanese record label HIM International -- which manages girl group S.H.E and boy band Fahrenheit -- recently held their annual dinner.

Upon arrival, S.H.E member Selina Jen quipped, "It's like attending a wedding banquet," after seeing her colleagues dressed in evening gowns and tuxedos.

That night, the artistes from HIM International pooled in a total of NT$2 million (S$86,000) for the lucky draw cash prizes.

When the host of the event asked the audience to help raise the amount, he specially mentioned Hebe Tien. She was recently ranked third in the 'Top Female Celebrity Earners under 30 years old' list.

"I heard that there's a young female millionaire here today. Where is she?" he asked.

Everyone turned to Hebe immediately. The singer stood up, waved and laughed, "Yes, it's me! Thank you."

Hebe generously agreed to top up another NT$200,000 (S$8,600) for the lucky draw.

S.H.E member Ella Chen's boyfriend Alvin Lai, the marketing manager of L'Oreal Group, was also present. He had attended the event as a client, because Hebe endorses their product.

The host did not let Alvin off the hook either. The latter was called on stage, to make a contribution.

Alvin initially wanted to donate NT$30,000 (S$1,296). However, Ella egged on her boyfriend to contribute more. Alvin's final contribution for the night was NT$60,000 (S$2,591).

At the audience's request, S.H.E also sang the acapella version of their song 'Wifey', which received roaring applause.

Taiwan singer Show Luo was named the most generous celebrity boss in Taiwan by Taiwan entertainment tabloid "Apple Daily", with Jay Chou and Singapore's own JJ Lin in second and third place respectively.

Luo reportedly gave out some NT$10 million (S$431,500)in year-end bonuses (including an all-expense paid two day one night vacation in Taiwan) to the 120 employees of his fashion store chain Stage.

He also gave out about NT$4 million (S$172,000) in red packets to the production staff of "100% Entertainment", a popular television show he hosts, and will take them to Bali for a five day four night holiday worth at least NT$1 million (S$43,100).

"It's worth it, because everyone had been very hardworking and gone through tough times over the past year," said Luo of his massive NT$15 million (S$647,000) cash haemorrhage.

Chou, who runs a music company, four restaurants, a fashion store called PHANTACi, and more recently, a karaoke outlet, came in a close second.

The star gave out NT$5 million (S$215,700) in bonuses to his restaurant and fashion store staff, with another NT$3 million (S$129,000) going to the staff of his music company JVR Music.

He also put up NT$2 million (S$86,300) to bring JVR Music's staff to Italy for vacation after the Lunar New Year, bringing Chou's cash outflow to a total of NT$10 million (S$431,500).

Homegrown singer Lin, the owner of three SMG fashion stores, is also a generous boss, paying out some NT$6.1 million to his staff and the people he worked with.

His SMG staff got about NT$3 million (S$129,000) in bonuses, and a portion of the NT$2 million (S$86,300) in red packets Lin distributed to his staff, as well as the people he worked with at his music label Warner Music.

Lin has also promised to bring some Warner Music employees on a trip to the Philippines worth about NT$1.1 million (S$47,400).

"You cannot skimp on the year-end bonus and red packets because everyone worked really hard and helped out.

"This is a form of recompense and an expression of gratitude," Lin told the publication.

For the first time, 2PM’s Nichkhun will be acting in a Thai film production!

JYP Entertainment revealed, “Nichkhun will be participating in Thailand’s major filmmaker GTH’s 7 year anniversary movie project. Starting from the beginning of January, Nichkhun has been in Thailand filming. It will be Nichkhun’s first time acting since his debut and the agency, the Thai staff, and Nichkhun himself are all very excited for this production.”

GTH is well known for their movies such as ‘Phobia2’, ‘Hello Stranger’, and ‘Bangkok Traffic Love Story’. For their 7th anniversary project, three directors will be drawing a story about life and love and will be released in three parts in an omnibus format.

Nichkhun will be in one of the three parts along with a famous Thai movie star. Nichkhun will play a major supporting character who helps the hero search for the meaning of love and life. Even though it is Nichkhun’s fist time acting, his passion and hard work had led to endless praises from his seniors working with him on the set.

Nichkhun revealed his first thoughts on acting. He said, “Being an actor was my dream and I am giving my all to this production. Every time I go on set I get ambitious to work harder each day. Filming in front of a camera is a totally different experience from when I’m in front of a camera singing and that is why I am working twice as hard. I will comeback as a great actor.”

Nickhun will be in Thailand until the end of January and will come back to Korea after finishing filming and ending the movie promotions.

Joo Won was shocked. On the latest episode of KBS weekend drama "Ojak Brothers", aired on January 15th, Tae-hee (Joo Won) found out that it was Ja-eun's (UEE) father who caused the hit and run accident that killed his own father.

Tae-hee found out that Ja-eun's father Baek In-ho (Lee Yeong-ha) was the criminal who killed his father while trying to prove that Ja-eun didn't make an illicit admission.

Not being able to believe this, Tae-hee went to find the detective who was in charge of this case then and asked for the inside story, and he logically explained step-by-step what happened.

Still not being able to accept the truth, Tae-hee became angered at the detective and asked, "Why wasn't the case solved when there was hard evidence here!" Tae-hee tried to deny the truth but he just left, stumbling all over the street from the shock.

Ja-eun was worried when Tae-hee didn't come home and he didn't reply to her calls or texts. She went to the police station to find him but Tae-hee saw her first and hid himself.

Hwang Chang-sik (Baek Il-u) told Tae-hee to break up with Ja-eun and it seems that their love will indeed face another obstacle.

"Action is hard but it's alluring, so I don't fear it" (Lee Na-young from movie "Howling"). "I want to become like Ha Ji-won" (Ko Ah-ra from movie "Pacemaker").

It's unusual for actresses to have a thing for action. Most women pick Ha Ji-won as their role-model. There are well-known stories of her practicing to walk on a tightrope in front of her house for a scene that lasted only 3 minutes in the drama "Hwangjin-i" and practicing how to ride a motorbike for ten days in preparation for a scene in the movie "Sector 7".

Ha Ji-won is coming back this spring with another action movie. The movie "Korea" has confirmed its release date and started promotions. It has been confirmed to be released in May.

"Korea" is a human drama based on the true story of the 1991 Chiba International Table Tennis Championships, where the North and South Koreas had their first victories. It's a new sports drama that joins the ranks of movies like "Forever the Moment" and "Take Off". The movie will translate hopes of unification between the North and South through the friendship between Hyeon Jeong-hwa and Lee Boon-hee, representatives of each nation.


Ha Ji-won is Hyun Jung-hwa in this movie. Li Boon-hee will be played by actress Bae Doo-na. As soon as she was cast for the role, Ha Ji-won trained under the real-life character Hyeon Jeong-hwa. She cried tears and sweat hearing stories of the moment. Ha Ji-won was said to even be ready to compete with a young table tennis player.

It was only recently revealed that Ha Ji-won would appear as Hyun Jung-hwa. She was being trained by coach Hyeon Jeong-hwa and standing shoulder to shoulder with actress Bae Doo-na. Ha Ji-won said, "Bae Doo-na has been a table tennis athlete since she was young so I tried to keep up with her".

Ha Ji-won is currently on break after making the movie. She has never had a break longer than six months since the year 2000. She is the only actress in the county that isn't picky about her films' genres: action, thriller, comedy or melodrama. She said, "My trainer tells me my muscles are quite impressive for an actress". She has been injured several times but she still carries on with the action.

Recently she has been on the casting list for the drama "The King". Her management said nothing's been confirmed yet but fans are waiting. A company recently named Ha Ji-won "The Rising Lady of 2012" along with the launching of its own products, proving that fans out there show her a lot of attention and love.

However, it’s been announced that Kim Soo Hyun had already filmed the scene early on during the beginning of production stages. He will reprise his role as Song Sam Dong, a naïve country boy who goes on to become the first Korean to win a Grammy.

Producers of the upcoming show stated, “Kim Soo Hyun is very fond of the show, especially because he received so much love from the first season.

On January 14, Park Min Young, posted a picture of herself on twitter with the text, “Ta da! See long haired Min Young after a long time. Bbyo Ro Rong~.”

In the picture, we no longer see the short haired Park Min Young from her recent dramas. Her short hair has been replaced by long brown locks. Her hair and her white, furry coat with the hood up, creates an altogether feminine and cute image.

Her followers responded to this tweet with, “Is it a wig? You look so pretty,” “You look good with long and short hair,” and “So cute!"

But the main focus on the photo seems to be on the ring. Through the mirrored image, her left hand (the hand holding the cell phone) proudly sported a thin white gold ring. (The fourth finger on the left hand is typically reserved for couple rings or wedding rings.) Earlier last year, Park Min Young and Lee Min Ho revealed that they were currently in a relationship. Therefore, it is natural to assume that the ring may be a couple ring with Lee Min Ho!

Netizens who noticed the ring on her hand commented, “Is it a couple ring?” “The ring catches my attention first,” and “She now belongs to Lee Min Ho!"

What do you think? Is it a couple ring? Or just a fashion accessory?

[Interview] Jang Dong-gun with Korean Cinema Today.

[Interview] Jang Dong-gun with Korean Cinema Today.
Cr. - http://koreanfilm.or.kr/

After starring in Korea’s biggest budget war movie of all time, actor JANG Dong-gun met with Korean Cinema Today’s LEE Hwa-jung to talk about his work.

Based on a true story, is about the unbelievable journey of a Korean man who was drafted by the Japanese army during World War II. He was captured by the Russians and put in a labor camp, then became a soldier in the German army, and finally was captured by the US army in Normandy. A record of the spectacular struggle of an individual in history, director KANG Je-kyu’s latest action dramastars Jang Dong-gun in the role of Jun-shik, a young marathoner who just wants to get back home.


KCT: Watching the film, it looked like the shooting must have been an ordeal.What was it like?

Jang: Even when a shoot is strenuous, when I check out the monitor and see the camera on me, it gives me strength. (Laughs.)When they took full shots and I could hardly be seen, the energy would drain even more. I knew what I was getting myself into, but the hardest part about this film was fighting the cold. It was the worst when we were shooting the first battle scene. Later on, we wore thick military uniforms for real winter scenes, but at first we had to wear thin summer uniforms.


KCT: This is your second film with director Kang Je-kyu. (The first was 2004’s ).

Jang: When I heard that director Kang was producing this film, I told him, “I’ll do it if you direct.” The trust I have in him came before the character or thefilm itself. It’s good that he knows and is familiar with my strengths, but if you put it another way, the director might not find any of my ways of expression fresh. Director Kang Je-kyu and I kept in touch steadily after our previous film together and we have personal trust between us. But when we worked on he felt like a completely different person on set.


KCT: Jun-shikclings on to his beliefs throughout the fire of World War II. Looking at the dynamics of his character, he could be seen as a rather unrealistic person.

Jang: It’s difficult not to compare this film to . While followed a storyline focused on brotherhood, concentrates on these characters in this epochal situation of war. When we were shooting, I had a great urge to perform in a way that would stand out dramatically in the frame or scene and attract the attention of the audience.But Jun-shik is not the kind of character you can express that way.He isn’t a character that creates situations, but one that reacts to them and requires that kind of acting. This was the exact opposite of my previous work, so it was really frustrating at first.


KCT: How did you overcome that frustration?

Jang: What’s certain is that Jun-shik doesn’t change. It’s the characters around him who change because of him. In that sense, Jun-shik as a character has a clear goal. I think as an actor, it is matter of choice whether to play this kind of character or not. Even the title of the film is“My Way”, isn’t it?From a broader perspective of the film, Jun-shik is the most important character and is determined by necessity. My job was to figure out the details within that [set-up] and find ways to express them.


KCT: Your previous film and Hollywood debut (2010) did not do as well asexpected. Do you see as an opportunity to make up for it?

Jang: The thing is, withthe focus was not on debuting in Hollywood. Back when I did , it wasn’t my aim tolaunch into Chinaeither. Personally, I felt something lacking, but it was still worthwhile as it was a good experience.


KCT: You’ve practically become an icon of large-scale movies.

Jang: I hadn’t planned on it, but I find that whenever a large-scalefilm is being planned I end up getting offered a part. I’ve refused some, while I couldn’t participate in others even though I wanted to. But I feel a kind of sense of emptiness after completing eachlarge-scale film. So I end up looking for a film that’s different afterwards. The reason why I did [dir. KIM Ki-duk, 2002] was because I went out insearch ofsomething different after finishing <2009 Lost Memories> [dir. LEE Si-myung, 2002], and it’s along the same lines that I was attracted to work with director HUR Jin-ho next.


KCT: There’s a concern that you are doing too many large-scale films in contrast to the more adventurous choices of your past.

Jang: To be honest, I didn’t personally have any desire[to pursue this direction]. Roads kept going that way. Itwas never a roadI set for myself, but they kept opening up in front of me. There are people who want to walk this road but can’t. I’m just there.Sometimes I went just because I was curious. So I may have seemed less eager and enthusiastic in some ways. Now I know that all those experiences have become a valuable part of me, and help me when choosing my next films. It’s become more fun. There was a time when I felt confined. I’ve become freer now after my marriage and the birth of our child. I have more confidence that I can do what I really want to do.

The director Yoo Ha's new movie "Howling" held a production presentation.

Actress Lee Na Young expressed her feelings about acting together with Song Kang Ho at the production presentation of the movie "Howling" -- held at a movie theater in Seoul on January 10 -- by saying, "We had come to have the nickname of 'Tom and Jerry' on the film set due to our appearance wrangling with each other as a senior and junior detectives in the movie." Song Kang Ho produced laughter by responding, saying, "She looks like Jerry, doesn't she?" Lee Na Young will play a new detective named Eun Young who will investigate the murder case, and Song Kang Ho will play a senior detective named Sang Gil who will solve the case with Eun Young as a team in the movie.

The director Yoo Ha produced this movie after a four-year break since he made the movie “A Frozen Flower” in 2008, and the movie is based on the original Japanese novel “Kogoeru Kahi.”




Lee Na Young revealed that Song Kang Ho helped her greatly while filming and she said with overwhelmed emotion, "I was touched by his kindness which seemed genuine, and every time whenever he showed his kindness to me, I really appreciated it and I even thought that I would not finish filming this movie without him. I could learn and realize many things while working with him. He helped me greatly whenever I felt difficulties." Song Kang Ho said, "I would like to explain this movie as a movie that makes a huge wave under a calm and deep lake, and Lee Na Young also looks like a calm 'morning dew' rather than an active and impressive actress. Lee seems to be a very suitable actress for 'Howling' in that point.

Yoo Ha said, "This movie is a story about minorities who are neglected from the city. I wrote the script for this movie while thinking about those neglected minority groups". Song said, "I had always wanted to work with Yoo Ha before, but he seemed to like to work with a handsome actor by seeing those actors whom he worked with". You Ha answered, "Song Kang-ho is also one of those handsome actors, and I always call him 'Song Bin' after the name of the representative handsome actor Won Bin".

"Howling" will be released on February 9.
