Jung Yong Hwa is getting a taste of stardom


Jung Yong Hwa

Actor and singer Jung Yong Hwa is starting to realize his success as a celebrity due to the increase in love calls he has been receiving lately.

More people are starting to recognize this pretty boy by his real name, Jung Yong Hwa, rather than by his You're Beautiful character's name, Shinwoo. Jung Yong Hwa is in high demand to attend several award ceremonies. He has already attended the Golden Disk Awards on the 10th and the 2009 Melon Music Awards on the 16th.

With his rock band C.N. Blue awaiting their debut in 2010, Jung Yong Hwa has already been garnering much interest due to the love of his fans.

The young cast of God of Study

New posters are out featuring the young cast of KBS’s God of Study, aka the kdrama adaptation of Japan’s Dragon Zakura.

The story kicks off when a teacher begins a university prep course with five underperforming students at a high school that is in last place in the academic standings. Leading the group of five students is Yoo Seung-ho as a stubborn and rebellious troublemaker. The group is rounded out by (in order of the cast photo above) Lee Chan-ho, Ji-yeon, Go Ah-sung, and Lee Hyun-woo.

That’s a pretty solid young cast, not to mention the older generation featuring Bae Doo-na and Kim Su-ro.


Lee Chan-ho, Go Ah-sung, Lee Hyun-woo, Ji-yeon, Yoo Seung-ho

In addition to Yoo Seung-ho’s troublemaker, we have:

Go Ah-sung, 17. She was tagged as an up-and-comer to watch in the horror film The Host, and also had roles in Happy Life and Radio Days. Her character is a sincere and honest type who lacks perseverance.

Lee Hyun-woo has great charm and comic delivery, and at 16 years old, he has already had roles in numerous dramas like Queen Seon-deok, Return of Iljimae (he was Cha-dol), Great King Sejong, Lobbyist, and Legend. His character dreams of being an idol singer.

Meanwhile, Ji-yeon, 16, is probably most known for being in girl group T-ara, but she was also featured in horror drama Hon (Soul) earlier this year and did, I thought, a pretty good job; she seems to have a good affinity for the camera. Her character is peaceful and easygoing, though she lacks a sense of purpose.

Lee Chan-ho, 20, is the eldest of the bunch and appeared with Yoo Seung-ho, 16, in Fourth Period Murder Mystery, as well as the teen comedy film Our High School E.T.. His character is a timid type who doesn’t assert himself.

I’m a little less certain of the director (PD Yoo Hyun-ki) and writer (Yoon Kyung-ah), both of whom have mostly Drama City productions on their resumes. The writer’s two entries date back to 2003 and 2006. That doesn’t mean I think they’ll be bad, but that they are somewhat unknown entities. (I would say that being an adaptation of a Japanese drama gives them a leg up in terms of story material, but I’m sure we can all point to cases where that didn’t quite work out.)

God of Study will air on KBS Mondays and Tuesdays. Perhaps hoping to recreate Boys Before Flowers’s youth appeal, it premieres almost exactly one year after it, on January 4.

Shin Ae is forever sober after marriage

Shin Ae with Kim Ah Joong

Anyone recall the virtual marriage of Shin Ae - Alex (AlShin couple) on MBC We Got Married last year? If you do, you'd probably remember how happily-in-love those two acted on screen. But do you think Shin Ae's happy now after getting married for real? Let's see what she has to say.

On KBS 2TV Entertainment Relay, aired on the 19th, actors and actresses joined together for a quick interview to celebrate actress / model Kim Ah Joong's very first fan meeting. Out of surprise, Shin Ae complained, "After getting married, my husband won't let me drink." After hearing her words, Kim Ah Joong asked the husband himself, "For what reason are you not letting her drink?"

Hm, so I guess Shin Ae isn't so happy after all with the whole drinking ban - but of course, I'm sure her husband gives her enough happiness to cover that.
