Move aside Monday Couple, Lee Seung Gi and Lee Kwang Soo might be the next big couple on SBS’ “Running Man.” Okay, perhaps not in the context of Monday Couple, but the brotherly love between the two stars might just make you laugh.

A newly released image of Lee Seung Gi and Lee Kwang Soo show exactly why this week’s “Running Man” is a must watch. Preview photos of the December 1 episode of Running Man show actor Lee Kwang Soo receiving a piggy back ride from singer Lee Seung Gi. Known as the show’s giraffe, the actor disregarded his towering height, and instead resorted to being his humorous self by clinging on to the singer’s back. Wearing matching green beanies and winter gloves, the unlikely couple displayed a teamwork that ultimately resulted in Lee Kwang Soo’s desperate attempt to cling on to Lee Seung Gi’s legs.

A representative of the show expressed, “Lee Seung Gi, Han Hye Jin, and SISTAR‘s Bora joined the filming and participated in the show’s race. The members welcomed Lee Seung Gi warmly as it was the singer’s return to the show in about a year.

Lee Seo Jin Shares Opinions after Watching “Nunas Over Flowers” soompah.blogspot.com

soompah.blogspot.com ® Lee Seo Jin Shares Opinions after Watching “Nunas Over Flowers”

If you imagine Lee Seo Jin watching the new tvN show “Nunas over Flowers,” the first image that probably pops in to mind is the actor laughing an evil laugh while watching Lee Seung Gi struggle to lead a group of prominent older actresses through a trip in Croatia. Don’t get me wrong, Lee Seo Jin is not evil; rather, the actor, who has had his share of stressful moments and struggles while filming “Grandpas over Flower” earlier this year, is free from being the baggage boy for a group of older gentlemen, and can relax at the misfortunes endured by the new baggage boy, Lee Seung Gi.

On December 1, Lee Seo Jin’s agency Hook Entertainment expressed to Star News, “Lee Seo Jin has watched the November 29 episode of ‘Nunas over Flowers.’ When watching the show, Lee Seo Jin was both surprised, and at times couldn’t hide his laughter.” The representative shared that the actor felt bad for Lee Seung Gi’s struggles, and at the same time remembered his own experiences as the baggage boy.

Lee Seo Jin further commented, “It’s inevitable for Lee Seung Gi to be surprised. There is a difference from the grandpas.” The difference was apparent when the older actresses went about and tried to resolve their problems without waiting for Lee Seung Gi, unlike the older actors who had waited for Lee Seo Jin to solve every issue. To Lee Seo Jin, what was helpful was when the ‘grandpas’ had waited for the actor to resolve the given issue. However, it seems that is not case in the new series of “Nunas over Flowers,” as the actresses showed their bolder sides, taking charge of the situation with their own hands.

Despite the differences, audiences can find themselves laughing at the adventures of Lee Seung Gi and the four actresses as they travel to Croatia. You can catch Lee Seung Gi, Yoon Yeo Jeong, Kim Ja Ock, Kim Hee Ae, and Lee Mi Yeon on tvN’s “Nunas over Flowers” every Friday nights at 10PM (KST).

soompah.blogspot.com ® Park Shin Hye: “If I Had To Choose Between Kim Tan and Young Do…”

Our lovely heroine of the SBS drama “The Heirs,” Park Shin Hye, has recently made a surprise phone connection on a radio show, showing her wit and humor.


On November 29, FT Island‘s Choi Jong Hoon made a phone call to Park Shin Hye on the KBS radio show, “Super Junior’s Kiss The Radio.”


During the phone call, Park Shin Hye played a speed quiz game that was given by Choi Jong Hoon. FT Island’s Lee Hong Ki, who costarred with Park Shin Hye in “You’re Beautiful,” commented, “I’m really enjoying ‘The Heirs’ these days.” Then Park Shin Hye replied, “Our drama is doing even better due to Lee Hong Ki’s OST song. I’m really loving FT Island’s music these days.”


Then, DJ Ryeowook also commented, “I am watching ‘The Heirs’ diligently with Kim Hee Chul. But let me ask, Young Do (Kim Woo Bin) versus Kim Tan (Lee Min Ho), who do you like better?”


Then Park Shin Hye answered, “In the drama, I have tried hard to avoid both Tan and Young Do. So if Eunsang is going to say who she likes better on the radio, it will cause a lot of trouble.”


Then Ryeowook quickly turned the wheels and said, “Then how about Hong Ki versus Jong Hoon?” To that, Park Shin Hye jokingly replied, “That’s like asking if I like my mom or my dad better. I used to be closer with Lee Hong Ki but he hasn’t contacted me in a while so I’m a little mad.”


Park Shin Hye left the show with a final comment as she said, “It was good to say hello to you all and I will definitely go on the show as a guest later on. There are only four episodes left to ‘The Heirs.’ I hope you will all love the drama until the end.”

“I like the idol visual poll. I think I am in the higher ranks for female idol visuals,” she laughed as she answered.


Then the reporter continued, “Even in the higher ranks, there is a low, middle, and high division. Which do you think you are?” Then YoonA answered, “Even people who thought I was in the middle when they saw on me TV, tell me that I am in the high rank when they see me in real life.”

On November 30, Taecyeon joined the “Human Condition” members for the latest condition of their show’s project: to be stress-free.


During the episode, Taecyeon shared a deep conversation with the staff during the interview for the show. He said, “I give my happiness level a score of 98 (out of 100). I am very happy,” with a huge smile.


Taecyeon continued, “When I was a trainee, not being able to debut was the greatest source of stress. But Jo Kwon was always by my side. He hadn’t debuted for over 10 years and I was only at my sixth year. Seeing how he was in a more difficult situation than I was, I was able to overcome my stress.”


As Taecyeon talked about his generally happy and positive attitude toward life, the show dubbed him with titles such as “Man of Steel Wall Against Stress” and “The Final King of Optimism.”

Noh Hong Chul and Jung Hoon Ha Go through Shocking Physical Transformation for Their Latest “Infinity Challenge” soompah.blogspot.com

soompah.blogspot.com ® Noh Hong Chul and Jung Hoon Ha Go through Shocking Physical Transformation for Their Latest “Infinity Challenge”

Be prepared to have your jaws dropped because Noh Hong Chul has gone through a shocking transformation!


On the November 30 broadcast of MBC’s “Infinity Challenge,” the members were shown working hard to get back into shape in order to execute their newest challenge: to try out as fashion models in Milan.


In a previous episode, Noh Hong Chul talked about becoming a model in Milan as a passing idea but “Infinity Challenge” is known to take ahold of those passing by thoughts and make them into reality! Therefore, Noh Hong Chul along with the rest of the members met with Korea’s top fashion designers and magazine editors as well as models to talk about the prospects of their model debut in Milan. The verdict that was made called for a lot of intensive training and weight loss to no one’s surprise!


But viewers were shocked and impressed on this most recent episode of “Infinity Challenge,” as they saw Noh Hong Chul’s incredible physical transformation as the TV personality claimed to have lost 15kg (around 33lbs) in just one month. This weight loss and Noh Hong Chul’s intensive training resulted in a slim yet muscular body as he proudly showed off his clear six-pack abs.


The “Infinity Challenge” members could not hide their amazement at Noh Hong Chul’s transformation as they chimed, “I think he can really go to Milan!”


Gil, who had been watching Noh Hong Chul over the past month, commented, “He worked really hard. He only ate chesnuts and sweet potatoes and did not intake a single grain of salt.”


Jung Joon Ha also surprised the members by revealing his slimmed appearance after working hard to lose weight himself. He lost a whopping 18kg (almost 40lbs) and revealed a slimmer body as well as slightly more defined abs.


However, after seeing Noh Hong Chul’s body, Jung Joon Ha confessed, “After seeing Noh Hong Chul’s abs, I’m losing confidence.”


Yoo Jae Suk also brought laughs to the set by commenting, “I feel like I’m looking at the sumo wrestler, Rikidōzan” after seeing Jung Joon Ha’s body.


Check out the screen caps of Noh Hong Chul and Jung Joon Ha! What do you think, Soompiers? Can they really try out as models in Milan?

I’m calling it. The next hot hairstyle trend will be the “Extreme Bowl Cut.” Not everyone can pull off this unique look. Only those with brave hearts and strong personalities will be able to rock those very short bangs.


Super Junior‘s Shindong gave it a shot and posted a photograph on his Instagram and wrote, “Hello? I am Chuburi Chu Sa Rang. Wail. Give me Mickey Mouse.” In the picture, Shindong is scrunching up his face while rocking the “Extreme Bowl Cut” look.


Shindong is parodying the adorable girl Chu Sa Rang, from the variety show, “Superman Returns.” The show is about celebrity dads who must take care of their children by themselves. Chu Sa Rang is the daughter of MMA Fighter Chu Sung Hoon (Akiyama Yoshihiro). She is credited to bringing back the “Extreme Bowl Cut.”


Chu Sa Rang may have brought the look back, but many people that the originator of this hot look goes back to the infamous internet meme, Melon Cat.


Who do you think pulls off the look the best?

Dohee, who is currently playing the character of Yoon Jin in the popular tvN drama, “Reply 1994” recently took a sexy and rather un”Yoon Jin”-like pictorial for Maxim for the December issue.


During a small interview, when asked about who would be her ideal man, Dohee answered, “Before, I used to like someone who was very caring and attentive. Now that I’m 20 years old, I like tough men. Like those who have such big muscles in their arms that the muscles will never disappear or become loose!” and laughingly continued, “And like when a doctor injects a shot into that muscle, blood will automatically come through with no difficulty!”

The singer and actress also said, “And sometimes, I prefer to hear that I’m pretty, rather than being cute because after all, I am a girl too.”

The members explained why they decided to have this special event for their fans, “It seems that the public still sees classical instruments as something that’s difficult. Just like how we’re a string pop band, we tried to find a way to make violin and cello more easier for people. We think that people will have to be more familiar with classical instruments in order to have more interest in our group.”

Super Junior’s Kim Heechul gives his insight regarding miss A’s Suzy and IU’s opinions on the title of “nation’s little sister.”


On November 28, he was one of the panelists on JTBC’s talk show “Ssulzun” where the topic of nation’s little sister was being discussed.


MC Park Ji Yoon asked Kim Heechul, “You know someone who’s close to IU. What does she think of the title?” He answered, “IU and Suzy aren’t interested in the ‘nation’s little sister’ title.” Park Ji Yoon inserted, “But the agency probably is very interested.”


He continued, “They actually say it’s a burden, and I actually asked her about it not too long ago. She responded, ‘But it’s been a while since I didn’t have that title.’”


MC Kang Yong Suk added, “As for Suzy, looks like her agency didn’t really try to take advantage of the nation little sister image. It’s only that the advertisers used her nation’s little sister image after her appearance in the movie ‘Architecture 101.’”


Park Ji Yoon responded, “It’s probably because her agency didn’t pursue that image so she’ll probably have the easiest time transitioning into an adult image.”

soompah.blogspot.com ® Boom, Andy, and Yang Sae Hyun’s Gambing Amounts and Fines Have Revealed

Boom (real name: Lee Min Ho), Andy (Shinhwa), and comedian Yang Sae Hyung have been charged with fines after being investigated for illegal gambling not too long ago.


On November 28, at the Seoul Central District Court, Boom and Andy were charged with fines of 5,000,000 won ($4700). Yang Sae Hyung, who gambled relatively smaller amounts, was charged with a fine of 3,000,000 won ($2800).


These three were not charged with quite as much as Tak Jae Hoon, Lee Soo Geun, or Tony Ahn, who had been investigated at the same time, as they didn’t bet nearly as much money. Andy had gambled around 44,000,000 won ($41,500), Boom 33,000,000 won ($31,000), and Yang Sae Hyung 26,000,000 won ($24,500), and they received the normal gambling fine, which is usually less than 10,000,000 won ($9,400). However, Lee Soo Geun gambled over 1,000,000,000 won ($942,000), and Tak Jae Hoon and Tony Ahn gambled over 400,000,000 won ($377,000), and they were charged with common practice.


On this, each celebrity’s agency said that they haven’t yet received notice from the court, and that they are deeply in self-reflection and regret, but they otherwise didn’t say much.


Tak Jae Hoon, Lee Soo Geun, and Tony Ahn’s first trial will be taking place on December 6 at the Seoul Central District Court.

soompah.blogspot.com ® Rain to Be Investigated Again for Violation of Military Rules?

Singer Rain might undergo investigation by the public prosecutor’s office.


According to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, an ordinary citizen who heard about Rain’s military service controversy on TV has lodged a complaint against him saying, “As a celebrity, he took frequent leave from service, breaking military code and violating military criminal law.”


The citizen filed the complaint against Rain after watching the June broadcast of SBS current affairs program “Scene 21” which featured celebrity soldiers such as Sangchu, Se7en, KCM and Rain leaving camp without official notice, and showed some of these soldiers visiting massage parlors.


A prosecution official revealed with regards to Rain’s investigation, “We will have to first examine the documents related to the complaint, and if necessary we will summon Rain and those around him for investigation.”


Rain’s agency has refuted claims of re-investigation via TV Report on November 28, “We have not been contacted about any investigation. We found out about it for the first time today on the news. Neither Rain, nor the company, has been contacted. We will be keeping an eye on the situation.”


The agency added, “Rain is currently in Japan on tour. He will hold his last concert today and be back in Korea on November 29.”


Rain entered active military service in October 2011, becoming an assistant instructor of the 5th Division at the Recruit Training Center, and transferred to the Ministry of Defense’s Public Relations Department in March 2012. Rain carried out his duties as a celebrity soldier and was discharged from service in July this year.


The prosecution has not yet decided if they will be issuing Rain with a summons for investigation. Rain had previously received seven days probation for his violation of military rules.

After watching his film again for the first time in ten years, Park Chan Wook commented, “I still can’t tell if that was a dream or if it was real.” He continued to talk about the behind-the-scenes stories of the movie.


Park Chan Wook said, “If I knew Yoo Yeon Seok would be this successful, I would have cared for him more and had some more close-up shots.” Yoo Yeon Seok is currently one of the hottest actors due to the drama “Reply 1994.”

Director Park continued, “Yoo Yeon Seok was cast because he did look a lot like Yoo Ji Tae but of course we didn’t only look at his face. He was a good actor too. I was worried since he was a rookie and the scene with Yoon Jin Seo in the science laboratory would have been difficult and scary for him. But he worked very hard and successfully filmed the scene.”


“I was very proud of him for doing his scenes well and I remember praising him as I bought him drinks afterwards since their roles played a big part of the movie,” he finished.


Meanwhile, “Old Boy” celebrates its 10 year anniversary as it was released in theaters once again with a remastered version.

She claimed that she is an actual person who goes through the things in the past drama, “Master’s Sun” and that she has known about the existence of ghosts since middle school. She also claims to have saved a friends life through a seance in the past.


She continued, “Ghosts are precious superstitions. When we die, we become ghosts too so why are you afraid of yourselves! Today will pass and tomorrow will come so let’s just smile and hold hands in a circle.”


Ahreum also confessed her inner pain by saying, “If I were to keep being depressed and not cool, I would have already died! Although it does hurt because I can’t die since that’s just who I am. If I realized that 20 is the peak and the age to smile and shine, I would have quickly found positive energy and happiness…”


In the end, Ahreum made a reference to a childhood cartoon movie and said, “Everyone, try falling into your memories~”


The video she posted contained footage of her pet dog, a screen that had the words, “I am the god of Mi. Mi of beauty” as well as her face. “Mi” can also mean “unfinished” in Korean.

Jang Soo Won and Kim Jae Duk have confirmed their attendance at DSP’s festival concert, making it a Sechs Kies reunion of sorts.


Musical duo J-Walk’s members, Jang Soo Won and Kim Jae Duk, have decided to attend DSP Media’s first family concert “DSP Festival” on December 14. Eun Ji Won confirmed his attendance earlier, and together the three will perform as “Trio Sechs Kies.”


This will be Sechs Kies’ first official performance together 13 years after disbanding. While they’ve appeared on broadcast programs together a couple of times since, they will be standing on stage together officially under the Sech Kies banner for the first time.


During the concert, they’ll perform as “Trio Sech Kies” and will also have collaboration performances with their DSP junior artists to revive the memory of first-generation top idol group “Sech Kies.”


Initially it was unclear if Jang Su Won and Kim Jae Duk would be able to participate in the concert, as they were scheduled to begin preparing for a new album comeback. However, with former leader Eun Ji Won finalizing his appearance, the chance for a Sech Kies reunion after a long separation was too good to pass up, so they made the difficult decision to adjust their schedule to join in the festivities


Fans will be curious to see what special performance “Trio Sechs Kies” can pull off.


DSP Media’s first family concert “DSP Festival” will bring together all the artists who have illuminated DSP’s 22 year history. The festival will mobilize past and present artists, Sechs Kies, Click-B, Park Jung Min (SS501), Kara and Rainbow, and will be held on December 14 at the Jamsil Arena in Seoul.

Trouble Maker is causing quite a bit of trouble with their couple hoodies, with netizens being inflamed by what looks to be an image of the Japanese imperialist rising sun. Their agency apologized, stating, “We apologize for not exercising more caution.”


A representative from Cube Entertainment spoke to OSEN on November 27, “The picture on Trouble Maker’s hoodies is not of the rising sun flag but supposed to be of flower buds. However, we understand why there might be misunderstandings, and we are sorry for not being more careful and meticulous about it.”


The trouble started when SBS MTV “The Show” uploaded a picture of the duo in couple hoodies on November 26, tweeting, “Purify your eyes with a picture of Trouble Maker, who showed us a wild stage on today’s ‘The Show.’”


Trouble Maker took a friendly shot together, with fresh make-up free faces. What caught the attention of netizens were the matching couple hoodies, with what resembled the rising sun flag on the front. On closer examination, the woman in the picture looks like she is holding up a flag, and the tip ends in a flower bud. However, since the colors are red and white, at first glance, it could easily be mistaken for the rising sun flag.


Trouble Maker are in the middle of their promotions for “Now.”
