Ha Jiwon reveals she once received psychiatric help



Actress Ha Jiwon shed tears as she shared about having to seek psychiatric help after filming the movie Sector 7On an episode of Thank You, the guests had a candid discussion with each other and spoke clearly enough to cover the generation gap among the guests.

During the show, Ha Jiwon said, “After filming Sector 7 I received psychiatric help.  I could not break away from my character.  In the movie, the monster and all the people I love died and I was the only one left alive. But for some reason, I could not break away from the pain of that character for quite some time.

After the conclusion of the movie, I needed to go in for the script reading for Secret Garden, but I could not break away from my character on Sector 7 so the entire script reading was a mess.  I knew I could not do it alone so I sought out professional help,” the actress shared in tears.

Ha Ji Won added, “I don’t think I’m a fun person.  I get very invested to my character and when the project ends, I realize just how boring the real Ha Ji Won is.  So even when I am on a break I purposefully try to be more busy.

We are glad Ha Ji Won was able to find help for herself, otherwise we may never have been able to watch the amazing chemistry between her and Hyun Bin in their breakthrough drama Secret Garden.

Sunggyu admitted, “I fought with Woohyun. We had to go practice, but Woohyun wouldn’t get up. When he finally got up, he came at me. But we couldn’t hit each other, and we just had a face-off. It was close but we never threw punches. He apologized soon after and we made up.

SM Entertainment announced, “His military training area is far away, and he wants to enlist quietly. The Super Junior members will not be accompanying him this time.

But even though he enlisted quietly, hundreds of fans from Korea and overseas gathered in front of his enlistment site. As he wished for a quiet enlistment, Yesung didn’t exit his car and drove straight into the reserve enlistment site. He did tweet,Thank you for coming so far.. I told you not to come.. Everyone, be healthy. See you again, ELF ^^”. Even though numerous media outlets stood in front of the driveway, they were unable to snap a photo of him.

Prior to his enlistment,  the idol posted on his Twitter, “I will miss it all. Stages, songs… I look forward the day we meet again, ELF. No worries, love you all!”, and attached the above photo. He will enter through the army division located in Jeonju and receive basic training for four weeks before serving as a public service worker for 23 months.

His final stage performance before enlistment was on March 24 for Super Junior’s Super Show 5 performance in Seoul.

Jay Park is crushing on Bora



With SISTAR‘s Bora rapping about boys that are Gone, Not Around Any Longer, it looks like Jay Park is hoping to fill in that empty spot. On the April 8th broadcast of Taxi, when asked who is the female celebrity that he wants to act with on SNL Korea, Jay revealed that the woman who caught his eyes lately is none other than Bora.

MC Jun Hyun Moo asked the singer, “Do you have any plans to date? It doesn’t seem like you’re dating at the moment”, asking the question all fan girls are dying to know. Jay Park then boldly joked,“Unless Bora appears before me, I don’t think I’ll be dating.

Jun Hyun Moo replied, “This will definitely appear in the news articles. ‘Jay Park won’t start dating unless it’s Bora?’ Do you really like Bora that much?” Jay then revealed how he had come to develop his crush, saying,“I came to admire her watching SISTAR19‘s Gone Not Around Any Longer performances. But I think that if this broadcast airs, it will become more awkward between us.”

Netizens commented “I can't blame him, she is pretty darn sexy”, “Everyone loves Bora and why shouldn't they? She's amazing”, “ Bora is cool but she loves Joong Ki”, “He acts like he is the only one. Get in line, buddy”, etc.


Hyosung and her figure issues


Although Hyosung of popular girl group SECRET is gifted with a glamorous body and is envied by a lot of women out there, the idol revealed that there was a time when her curves caused her some concern. On the May 6th broadcast of Hello, a mother shared her worries about her daughter who tries to be like a man.

The mother shared that her daughter would also resort to wrapping her breasts tightly with bands to flatten them and hide her figure. Hearing this, MC Shin Dong Yup asked, “Perhaps she was embarrassed by her bodily changes [going through puberty]?

The celebrity guests who appeared on the show sympathized with the daughter though, especially Hyosung who revealed that her curves made her feel uncomfortable during her school days. “I could feel the eyes of boys on me, so I was embarrassed. During P.E. class I would run hunched over to hide my figure.

In addition, during another part of the show, Hyosung also revealed the dilemma she faced about losing weight after reading varying opinions from the public. “After reading a comment that said I was short and stocky, I was shocked and decided to lose weight. However, after I lost weight, I started reading comments like ‘She looks weirder after losing weight. She was better before.’ So after reading things like that, I was hurt and didn’t know what I should be doing.

Hearing her struggle, the MCs consoled her saying, “You look pretty either way.

T-ara speaks up for the first time


The members of T-ara N4 talked about their bullying scandal and various other rumors for the first time on an episode of Beatles Code 2.

Hyomin was the first to speak up, and she said, “There were rumors that I was a thug when I went to school. I just hung out with kids who weren't the nicest kids, but that was it. There are also rumors that I was forced to move schools because I had hit another student. I never hit anyone. I’d rather someone come out and say that I hit them.”

She revealed that she had moved schools, but it wasn't because she had hit someone. She explained, “My mom decided that I should switch schools because she wanted to pursue a better education for me. It’s not related to violence at all. The reason why I didn’t say anything back then was because I didn’t want people to look down on my friends because of me.

The girls also admitted that they had an argument with Hwayoung during the SNS controversy. However, Eunjung asserted that there was no bullying, saying, “People might think so if you just read everything that’s online. But even I was rumored to being bullied. To be honest, we had an argument with Hwayoung for about 2 days during the incident. But it was wrong of us to publicly make statements through Twitter. It was wrong to write about the topic, period. The more we stayed silent, the rumors and misunderstandings kept growing. It was so bad that even we were getting confused. I thought I’d lived without any regrets, but I was pained because I felt I’d become a bad person.

On all the hate comments they received, Eunjung said, “Whenever articles about us come out, we get a ton of hate comments. At first, I just read it out of curiosity but I can’t read it anymore because the more I read, the more energy I lose.

Hyomin added, “The worst one was when Soyeon unni got into a car accident, and someone wrote, ‘she should have just died’. There were others who said the entire accident was made up. It was such a bad accident that she got tossed out of the car.

On their Music Bank controversy, Hyomin spoke up to say, “After we argued in Japan, we had a Music Bank schedule right away. It was so awkward. After we came back to Korea, we had a conversation with Hwayoung for about 40 minutes. I didn't want to have fights when it was a stage we were dreaming of. After Hwayoung left, we had an official schedule, but we couldn’t say anything because of the circumstances. We wanted to say something so badly that it even came out in our dreams. I just wanted to say two things: ‘I’m sorry, and I’ll work harder’. But if we tried to explain ourselves back then, the situation would have just gotten worse. But we really wanted to. We wanted to admit the parts that were true, that they weren’t false, and then take time off to self reflect. But in the end, we just became the kids who didn’t care.”

Jiyeon also expressed her apologetic heart to Hwayoung and said, “We had been together for over 3 years, so Hwayoung might have had difficulties being with us. She probably had a hard time adjusting.

Later, the girls added, “If we truly hated her, we wouldn't have even argued. But we disappointed her and made her feel lonely. No matter the reason, we’re sorry and also apologize to have created a disturbance as public figures.
