Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na dating for real

Ji Hyun Woo has been in the headlines all month due to his surprise confession to actress Yoo In Na. It seems she’s finally given him a response, as the two were caught by the cameras of Sports Seoul on a nighttime date!

Just 10 days after his public confession, the couple was spotted taking a stroll through a park in Kyungkido on the morning of June 17th. Their date was said to have been as romantic as their relationship on their tvN drama. The two were seen holding hands while circling the park around Yoo In Na’s home late into the night. The way they gazed into each other’s eyes and smiled gave away their feelings immediately.

On empty streets, they were even seen getting more comfortable with skinship by hugging each other’s waist or slinging an arm across a shoulder. As if she was genuinely happy to be spending time with him, she gave him aegyo looks which Ji Hyun Woo responded with ecstatic smiles and laughter.

A representative of their drama, Queen Inhyun’s Man, explained, “Compared to other leading couples of dramas, the two were exceptionally caring and taking care of each other well. Their kiss scenes were realistic, and many whispered about whether they were dating in real life or not.”

Another official said, “They’ve been public with their relationship to the point where staff members of the hair salon they both go to already know about their relationship status. It seems their feelings for each other grew from not only the drama set, but also from how often they saw each other at the hair salon.”

Although Ji Hyun Woo is two years her junior, his masculinity was what caught her attention. He’s never been shy about showing his feelings towards her in public places.

A representative of Ji Hyun Woo’s agency expressed, “We first have to check with them. We have nothing to say at the moment.” Yoo In Na’s agency gave a similar response, stating, “We will have to check with them.”

Fans and netizens who read the news excitedly commented, “For those of us who wanted them to date in reality, our prayers are finally answered”, “Yoo in na made the official announcement on her radio. So happy for them”, “I hope this feeling is REAL and not some left over feeling from the drama”, “Any women would fall for a confession like that,  in front of the public and bravely telling the fans”, “FINALLY!! THE ARTICLE WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!! WE ALL KNEW IT, BUT WE JUST NEEDED AN ARTICLE :)”, “LOL at the agencies.."we first have to check"...WHAT IS THERE TO CHECK WHEN THERE ARE PHOTOS LIKE THESE ALL OVER THE INTERNET?!” and much more.

Siwon has a son...?

Who would have thought that Mr. Gentleman Choi Siwon of the famous Korean boy group  Super Junior has this funny side in him? When everyone was so used to seeing the other members joke around, the usual prim and proper Siwon just laughed with them. However, he updated his twitter with a hilarious photo recently.


He wrote, “Introducing my son! Aigoo, the road ahead seems dark...” and shared the photo below. It brought so much laughter among fans and followers as it was actually a photoshopped photo of his groupmate Eunhyuk.

Eunhyuk replied after seeing it. "This guy has bright future!” the dancing machine wrote. He is a year older than Siwon but from the looks of it, Siwon can joke on his hyung any moment of the day, showing their brotherly closeness.

Christian and Carla getting stronger

Balladeer Christian Bautista is apparently thrilled over getting to spend more time with his Romanian-Chinese girlfriend Carla Dunareanu now that she's staying in the country for a year. The singer-actress, one of his co-stars in the Pan-Asian musical series The Kitchen Musical, is currently working as a disk jockey for Magic 89.9 DWTM.

In previous interviews, Singapore-based Carla has expressed her openness to try local showbiz, and has also started learning the Filipino language. Christian looks to be in the relationship for the long haul. Initially not a fan of long-distance relationships, he took a shot with Carla and now that she’s temporarily staying in the Philippines, “traffic na lang sa EDSA ang katapat,” the balladeer quipped in a recent interview.

Since officially becoming a couple last February, Christian’s relationship with Carla has become deeper especially since he said they spend more time together. Their respective families also support the couple’s young relationship. “They’re happy, my family is very okay with Carla. She’s also very happy. She’s already become part of my family”, Christian enthused.

He has likewise introduced her to his friends, and even to his ex-girlfriend Rachelle Ann Go. The meeting took place when they watched The Little Mermaid the musical, in which Rachelle Ann starred. Christian is currently busy with his singing commitments, as well as his comeback to acting via primetime series Princess and I.

Bada: You're that Kyuhyun from Super Junior?

Super Junior is probably one of Korea’s top hallyu performers of this generation so obviously, their popularity is quite undeniable. Thus, when singer-songwriter Bada innocently revealed that she didn’t know Kyuhyun was a Super Junior member, everyone was in disbelief.

The hilarious incident happened when Bada guest-featured on Radio Star together with veteran singer Kim Wansun and Hyorin of Sistar. The original idol goddess opened up about her days as a member of female idol group S.E.S saying, “All of our songs became hits. The songs were good, and so was the company,” referring to her former company SM Entertainment.

MC Yoon Jong Shin then said, “S.E.S laid the foundation for SM Entertainment.”

MC Kyuhyun, who is currently under the mentioned giant company, seemed to agree about it. But this seemed to surprise Bada who said, “Kyuhyun is under the same company? SM? You’re that Kyuhyun from Super Junior?”

A dumbfounded Kyuhyun responded, “This is the most flustered I’ve felt all year.”

“I'm sorry. I really didn’t know, you look like a solo singer,” she immediately said in an attempt to comfort him.

But an adorably upset Kyuhyun evoked laughter with his own counterstrike saying, “To be honest, I liked Fin.K.L better,” talking about S.E.S.’ biggest rivals.

Yoon Eun Hye interview with High Cut Magazine

Korean actress Yoon Eun Hye, who has been resting since her movie My Black Mini-dress last year, sat down and granted an interview for High Cut Magazine. The actress talked about her studies as she is currently majoring in Film Production at the Graduate School of Advanced Imaging Science, Multimedia and Film (GSAIM) of Central University. She also talked about blind dating, her ideal type and of course, Running Man and Kim Jong Kook. Since the interview was quite long, I'll only be sharing the lovey parts. If you want to read the whole thing, click here. Read and enjoy!

Have you ever been set up on a blind date while attending school?
I never had that experience. But whenever I see people on a set up or a blind date, I wonder if it's really possible to end up dating after the meeting. It's strange that they can talk to each other at such an awkward meeting. Of course, I understand it better now that I'm older but I may not be able to do it if someone asked me to.

But we have a problem. You may be at an age where you need to go on blind dates.
Ah, why are you being like this to me? (laugh) In any case, I think it'd be tough since I tend to keep distance with strangers and the atmosphere would be awkward.

Who’s closer to you ideal type: Kang Ji Hwan or Joo Ji Hoon?
Haha, I guess I’m more comfortable with Ji Hoon. We were in Goong together as colleagues who have grown up (in career) together like friends. He’s honest and I still have good memories of him from back then. Honestly, both are not really my style as an ideal man. Kang Ji Hwan has a pretty man style and is kind, but you know how women don’t like men who are kind to every woman (laugh). So if I must choose between the two, I’d give a vote to Joo Ji Hoon with a caring mind.

The second match: Gong Yoo or Lee Sun Gyun?

Ah, this one is tough since I thought Gong Yoo was closer to my ideal type back then. However, Lee Sun Gyun has become more attractive after his marriage. If I had to pick an ideal type, I think Lee Sun Gyun is closer it.

What about between yesterday and today’s hot trends, Hyun Bin and Kim Soo Hyun?
Well, of course you’d have to go with today’s hot trend, right? (laugh) I don’t know Kim Soo Hyun that well, but I think he has a nice voice and he acts well. His image when he acted was very attractive since his debut days.

The final match: Jung Il Woo and Kim Jong Kook?
Wah~ between Jung Il Woo and Kim Jong Kook? Aren’t their styles too different? Il Woo may be disappointed if he hears this but I don’t really like younger men. Il Woo is more of a hard working cute friend to me. I think Kim Jong Kook would be closer to my ideal type.

I guess you like guys who are big and muscular?
No. It’s just that I like a man who makes me look thin when I’m standing next to him. I think since I was a young girl, I’ve always wanted to be feminine when standing next to guys.

We have decided on who will be the candidates for the second round. But we’ll just skip the round and go straight to the final. Who is the final winner of the ideal type from Joo Ji Hoon, Lee Sun Kyun, Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Jong Gook?
Wah~this is so tough. Either Sun Kyun oppa or Jong Gook oppa. Ji Hoon oppa makes me nervous because he is too handsome. And I shouldn’t consider Kim Soo Hyun since he is so much younger. That would almost be a crime, a crime.

We have two people left, who’s the final winner?
As for physical appearance, it would be close to Sun Kyun oppa. As for personality, it would be close to Jong Gook oppa. Sung Kyun oppa is a family man who works hard. It’s really great to see how he is these days because he loves his kids and is very caring to his wife. Jong Gook oppa is good at taking care of himself. I thought it’d be great to be the girlfriend of someone like him.

Let's talk about SBS Running Man. I've heard that there were lots of requests from Running Man asking you to appear in their show. Do you have any plans to appear on that show?

Running Man PDs are the same people who were with me during the X Man days. They are very close to me. Since Running Man is such a popular show, I'd be grateful if they'd want me in it. But I'm not doing much these days and I'm going to school so what would I be able to show? (laugh) I think if the opportunity comes around, it'd be fun.

When can we see you with your next project? Even though nothing has been decided yet.
In the second half of the year. Since I have to study as well, I plan to work more when I have the time. Even if it's a small role, I don't think the significance of a role is important if the project is good. I'm looking at many scenarios right now. I want to enjoy working. Instead of being an improved Yoon Eun Hye, I would prefer to be the improving Yoon Eun Hye.

Likely to become After School's new leader: Jung-ah or Nana

The moment every fan fears to happen. Since Korean girl group After School has a unique concept of admission and graduation, which means members' withdrawal and addition come naturally, loyal fans are always heartbroken when a member graduates.


One of the first class members Soyoung withdraw from the group in 2009 and E-Young was added late 2010. Rapper and my favorite member Bekah graduated just last year and Ga-Eun was added just recently. On the 5th of this month, it was announced that leader Kahi will be graduating, and thus, will not be appearing in the group's upcoming comeback. The news literally shocked Kpop, although it was kind of expected already because of her age. Still, I personally think that Kahi is a great loss since she makes After School a high-class group due to her outstanding dancing/singing skills and superb leadership, not to mention her amazing choreography.


Anyway, because of this double-header news of leaving and imminent comeback, attention shifted as to who will fill Kahi's shoes and be the new After School leader. A reliable source tipped, "It seems that the empty leader position will be taken on by Jung-ah. Although there are still discussions on going, Jung-ah as the oldest member, unless something happens, will be promoting to the leader's position."


However, eagle-eyed netizens spotted what may have been a hint in one of the group's teaser photos for their comeback. In the picture, only Nana was wearing a pair of gold-plated shoes instead of the usual black pairs that the others are wearing. During their Bang! comeback a couple of years ago, then-leader Kahi showed a similar style with her trademark gold drum, differentiating her from the rest and marked her position as the leader.

Pledis Entertainment neither denied nor confirmed this, stating "You will know during their comeback stage on the 21st."
