[news] Lee Byung-hun cleared of gambling charges


Korean actor Lee Byung-hun has been cleared of illegal gambling charges filed against him last year by his former girlfriend.

The Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office ruled Friday that "there is no evidence" Lee had been involved in habitual gambling overseas, an allegation made early December by the Korean-Canadian woman identified only by her last name Kwon.

A legal dispute between the two fired up when Kwon lodged a complaint to court saying she was allured into having a sexual relationship with the actor on his false promises of marriage and demanded she be compensated for physical and psychological damage she suffered.

She also accused the actor of gambling while on shoots overseas and distributed a photograph of the two of when they were a couple to backup her claims.

Prosecutors also acknowledged that Kwon had tried to defame Lee's reputation, as the actor's legal representatives had claimed through a countersuit, but ordered a stay of prosecution with Kwon having departed for Canada.

Meanwhile, baseball player-turned-TV personality Kang Byung-kyu, who too was sued by Lee, was indicted without detention for defamation and attempted blackmail.

Kang had already been indicted for his alleged involvement in an assault case on the set of TV series "Iris" which he visited in mid-December over talk that Chung Tae-won, chief of Taewon Entertainment and producer of the hit show, had spread false rumor that he was behind the feud between Lee and Kwon.

Lee, 39, has appeared in numerous Korean dramas and films, including TV series "All In" and director Park Chan-wook's 2000 film "Joint Security Area".

He also debuted in Hollywood last year with a supporting role in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" alongside Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller and starred in action thriller "I Come with the Rain" with Josh Hartnett and Takuya Kimura which also showed in theaters in 2009.

[news] 15000 ELF attended Super Junior's first Malaysia concert


(Super Junior 2010 Super Show 2 Asia Tour Malaysia stop) was held at Putra Indoor Stadium Bukit Jalil yesterday with 15,000 people attended which fills up the whole stadium and high through the roof!

This trip, 10 of 13 Super Junior attended with Kibum, Hankyung and Kangin missing the concert similar to previous Shanghai stop but this did not ruin the performance of concert at all. All 10 member of SJ is singing and dancing on stage energetically as if they have not grown up. Leeteuk and Eunhyuk kisses each other on the lips, Heechul raised Shindong’s hand pretending to smell at his armpit, even dressing up as girls and twisting their butt towards (Chu). In the end, SJ and ELF ended up playing with water!

Leeteuk, Heechul, Shindong, Sungmin, Donghae, Kyuhyun, Yesung, Eunhyuk, Siwon and Ryeowook’s performance on stage was eye catching. When 10 of them appear, everyone will be mesmerized and ended up not knowing who they should place their eyesight on. Siwon was being playful by pulling the tip of his shirt showing the green colour band of his boxers. When performing “sorry,sorry” he even put off his buttons to show his chocolate abs. Donghae’s solo dance has the shadows of Michael Jackson. Kyuhyun sang “Please forgive me” which shows off his singing skill. While singing “Puff the magic dragon”, Shindong act as a baby while other members got into bug costumes such as dragon fly, beetle, spider and many others.

During the performance of , all 10 SJ members appeared at different positions on stage. Leader Leeteuk was positioned at the middle of stage. When they sang until the end, he even shed tears. The reason behind him shedding tears was it because he was too touched and happy to see fans coming all the way from China, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia?

Not to be forgotten, ELFs are very protective over SJ. When Leeteuk and Ryeowook was dancing with female dancers be it holding hands, touching their face or dancing together, all these intimate actions brought screams from ELF as if they are not agreeing towards those female dancers touching their idols. Other than that, SJ have also brought water guns to play with ELFs. Any ELFs in their view shall be sprayed with water. However, some ELF have known about this before hand not only brought blue towels to dry up but brought their own guns as well. They ended spraying each other with SJ members.

Towards the end of the concert, ELF throw all gifts such as toys, soft toys which was prepared earlier to the stage. Shindong even wore the life buoy causing much laughter. The whole concert was more like a party. The interaction between SJ and ELF was warm and touching. In SJ’s first Malaysia concert, sub-group’s member Henry and Zhoumi attended and performed too.

SJ starts performing about 8pm and ended at 11pm after singing 35 songs. Leader Leeteuk brought other 9 members together with Henry and Zhoumi and bowed 90 degrees to fans of 15,000 as token of appreciation and ended the 3 hours long concert.
Recap of concert: A concert worth 100%

Writers likes the concert presented by Super Junior in Malaysia this time. Rather than the design of the stage, all spectators are able to see all members clearly with zero distance! The stage design, sound system, lighting, effects and skills are all first class. This also shows the sincerity of SJ towards ELF. On top of that, the design of entrance gave me a shock as well. When concert was starting, Kyuhyun was escorted by security guards and appeared at the exit, leaving only a distance of 5 steps between writer and him! Seeing Kyuhyun at such short distance makes me feel as if it is a little unbelievable.

I really like the interactions between SJ and ELF. While singing “Sorry, sorry”, honestly speaking I felt like standing up and dance together with the fans!

[news] Lee Kikwang's 'Roof Kick' Ending… Will Repay BEAST


BEAST's Lee Kikwang revealed his sadness about the end of the MBC day by day sitcom 'High Kick Through the Roof' (known as 'Roof Kick') and his sorry heart towards his members.

Hwang Jungeum, Choi Daniel, Yoon Siyoon, and other stars who prepared the ending of 'Roof Kick' on the 19th were produced. Lee Kikwang was one of those few. Lee Kikwang, who was recently met with a reporter, said, "'Through 'Roof Kick', I received many things and learned a lot" and "Now, I will gradually repay me sorry heart to my members."

In 'Roof Kick', Lee Kikwang received a lot of love by appearing in the role of Kang Saeho, who is a friend of Jung Joonhyuk (Yoon Siyoon) and likes Hwang Jungeum. Lee Kikwang said, "Through this work, I felt the excitement of acting. Also, because I was taught by the sunbaenims and the staff, it will give me a lot of help in the future."

But, Lee Kikwang, who debuted as BEAST one month before appearing in 'Roof Kick', were in many cases where he had to miss choreography practices with his members, causing him to have a sorry heart for his members.

Lee Kikwang promised, "Because of my personal schedule, I couldn’t even practice the choreography or music during the broadcasts with my members, so I am really sorry. From now on, while I work hard in team activities, I will repay my sorry heart to the members."

However, BEAST gave idle remarks by saying, "As soon as we debuted, I think we were able to introduce the group BEAST with Kikwang's help. Therefore, we are thankful" and "Next time, you can just buy us one big meal."

In the meantime, BEAST recently released their 2nd mini album 'Shock of the New Era' and while rising to first place on the Hanteo album sales chart, they are receiving hot reactions. In addition, with their title song 'Shock', BEAST is carrying high ranks in music sources and album charts, and is adding a spur to the top.

BEAST hardened their determination by saying, "We were not taken aback by other people, and we came out as we held on to the music that we wanted to do. Although the anticipation of the fans can be a burden, we practiced our music and our choreography really hard to thank each and every attention that was sent to us. We will always show you our improving selves."

[news] HONGKI & JONGHUN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, 2010.03.21 - HIHAN小嗨 @ BAIDU


The birthday party and fanmeeting started on 21st at 3am and ended at 5.30pm.

First Hongki and Jonghun made birthday wishes. Hongki joked saying that his wish was that he hopes this year Jonghun will be more sensible~~ Jonghun said that he hopes everyone will be healthy.

The other three members gave presents - Jaejin gave roses, Seunghyun gave perfume (cologne). It is said that during adult ceremonies, they must receive three presents, which are "roses, perfume and kiss". When Minhwan was told to give a kiss, he was embarrassed, so Seunghyun took the initiative to run and hug Hongki and Jonghun and gave each a big kiss.

Hongki and Jonghun danced to Park Ji Yoon's "Adult Ceremony"~~ Afterwards, the two played and sang an English song~~ [T/N: Nickelback - Faraway] Hongki said he only learnt to play guitar for two weeks, but fans didn't believe him. Jonghun also said that two weeks isn't enough to be at that level~~ then Hongki "confessed" saying that it was actually two months~~

Jaejin was the sub-MC. The other members formed teams - Hongki and Minhwan in a team, Jonghun and Seunghyun in another team. Five fans were picked to go on stage to pair with the FTIsland members for a speed quiz game, guessing drama names, song names, film names, artists, animals etc. Hongki's team guessed the most correctly, and was praising himself saying he was smart.

Music was put on, and they all danced idol group dances - T-ara's "Bo Beep Bo Beep" and also SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong". (Seunghyun was most into it, rushing to the front to dance and sing).

They were suggested to act spoilt/throw a tantrum~~ (Jaejin was standing with the MC, but the MC let him go over to the others). Hongki performed Jeremy's phrase "Ah! So cold!" [T/N: I don't remember exact phrase he said in the drama]. Jonghun copied and said it four times (which lead to explosive reactions as it was even crazier than Hongki's original version)

The two teams chose paper cups, using the fruit inside to decorate the cake.

The five lucky fans that were selected went on stage to ask for wishes from the members. One asked Minhwan to sing, another even asked Hongki for a kiss... There wasn't enough time to grant wishes for the last two fans, so they received two small cakes that the members had made earlier on.

Each member chose a note which had a topic on it, such as "Japan", "newcomer" etc, and they each said their thoughts about their chosen topic.

Lastly the birthday party and fanmeeting ended. The staff members unexpectedly announced a high five event, so all fans queued up to "high five" with the members~~

[News] 2PM Chansung Interview In Junior Magazine


http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m349/Heurin-942/chansung2.jpg

Actor_Back then I was in secondary school when I watched movies or dramas, I’d think “Wow, it must be fun”. Then my chance had come and my acting career had started. I entered this company when I was in 1st yr in high school. After passing some trainings, I got a chance to play in the sitcom called “Unstoppable High Kick”. Well my character was pretty overacting; it was hard to catch it. But the feedback was good so I enjoyed it.


Badly_ Something bad? Well, I don’t know. Too many bad things I have (laughs). I’m a shy person. It takes a long time for me to be close to someone and to open my heart. Although I have close friends, none of them can understand me completely. Recently when I meet someone, I tend to speak and laugh loudly. Don’t you think it will be awkward to just be silent?. I try to talk more and we’ll naturally get closer.


Color_For actors, it’s better not to have any colors in particular. Each role has its own color for the character. If you want to manifest completely that color, you must be achromatic color. I want to try the roles which are opposite; a really good person and an evil one. The movie “Public Enemy” included curses and swears , this is the first time! Since I was really hooked to it, I unknowingly became like that (laughs). I’d like to try Lee Sung Jae senior’s role in “Public Enemy” and Hwang Jung Min senior’s one in “You’re my destiny”.


Dream_To be a singer and an actor. I want to be like Jamie Fox in “Ray”. Jamie Fox is very well-known in both singing and acting. When I watched the movie, I swore to God to have to become just like him. Actually, I participated in the audition because I wanted to be an actor. At the company since I received both acting and singing trainings so I finally fell for the charm of singing. That’s why I’m preparing to make a debut as a singer. Please wait.


Engrossing_My MP3. I really love listening to music. Drama scripts and books. I still have “Unstoppable High Kick” scripts with me and practice with it sometimes. Lately before I go to bed, I’ll read some books for about 1-2 hours.


Favorite & Fear_Favorite…eating!!! I eat quite a lot (laughs). Right now I’m on diet but when the sun goes down, I want to eat instant noodles and pork’s feet (legs, I guess?). Then what I fear the most must be President Park Jin Young (laughs). We’ll have a practice together when he comes to Korea. If I receive a notification of practicing with the president, my pressure is…(laughs) but sincerely he’s also the person I respect the most. If you look at him you’ll know why he’s called professional. There are many things to learn from him.


Gain_It seems like I’ve gaining a lot after becoming an artist. I have fans and people know my name. But then I realize that there’re plenty of things I have to protect as much as I receive and the number of people who are trying to judge me so I have to be more careful.


Habit_Well it’s the thing that happens when I’m not aware of. Nothing comes to my senses when I try to speak of it.


Important_To be able to have trainings with members is important and reading books! Reading is good. I’m in middle of reading a book called “the story of marshmallow”. I think reading books will help me improve my acting. Hmm my recommendation is “the story of bad dumplings”… it’s about a person who lives, very emotional. Please try it once!


Jobs_I think being an artist is a job that can convey one life, whether it is singing or acting; singing will show you feelings while acting will show you lives.


Kill time_Well since textbooks are my enemies (laughs) then when I’m bored, I’ll listen to music.


Laugh_Every time I’m with members (hot blood), we’ll have a good laugh. If I’m to talk about it that’d be…one of the members has a sleeping habit which is snoring like the devil and another one gnashes teeth so loudly. I can’t sleep and keep toss and turn for a long time. When I think “ah it’s over now” then I hear another gnashing-teeth sound from the guy below (making grating sound). To protect their privacy, I’ll give you only their initials; Mr.L is Mr. snoring and Mr.J is Mr. gnashing-teeth. (laughs)


Messege_I’d like to say something to members. Due to the filming, I’m terribly sorry that I can’t practice together with you guys. Since you have done many skills trainings so I’ll try to catch you up. To my fans, I’ll work hard to the point of your expectations.


Necessary_Isn’t it love?(laughs). Love is really the most important thing. It’ll make a good help in acting because it’ll dissolve entirely all those sensibilities. Ah..I want to go on a date (laughs)


Old_Hwang Jung Min senior’s style is my type. I’ll be a good actor like him and I want to sing as good as Jamie Fox. Don’t you think that I’ll become a singer and actor who’s an all-around entertainer when I’m 30 yrs?


Parents_The moment I told my parents that I’d be an artist, they were so worried. But I show them no tiredness so they seem to worry less and said that if that is your desire, you have to make it come true. Thank you for those words.


Quit_I praticed real hard but my singing didn’t get any better. It drove me crazy that I couldn’t so I thought “Will I never be able to do this thing?”. I seriously kept worrying about it until I started acting in “The Unstoppable High Kick”. I had confidence that I was able to do it well. It’s my pride and also gave me strength.


Respect_The president Park Jin Young. He’s really a respectful person…just be less scary please (laughs)


Secret_Secret? Not that I’m trying to hide but I don’t think I have any secrets.


Thank_I’d like to say something to my parents. Although it takes me about 30 minutes from the dorm to my house, I keep thinking whether I’ll go or not every month. If I go home often then there’ll be a lot of talking and I have to stay overnight. I feel ill at ease so after I see their faces, I go back to the company. I’m really sorry.


Usual_ An ordinary 19-yr-old Hwang Chansung? If I wasn’t an artist…perhaps I’d still be a trainee.


Vacation_I need some sleep. Dancing weakens my body. I have lessons for three hours then practice again. My powers will all be eaten up so sleeping is indeed needed.


Wake_Soon after I get up, I’ll have some cereal, take a shower and practice.


Xeric_The way to refresh myself from dull life/routines? Eat something different from usual. For a change, I’ll go outside and have some delicious meals and watch a midnight movie. I sometimes do this. So I can get rid of stress and freshen up.


Zeal_We’re crazily into games when we’re at dorm these days. I love stimulation games the most and it’s so good that I can play it with members. Because we’re together, though we just sit silently, I’m very happy.
