It has been known late that 6-member international idol group A’ST1 has disbanded.

The group’s agency DSP Media said in a phone interview on the 6th, “A’ST1 has recently disbanded. The members are now going their own ways.”

The staff interviewed has avoided questions on reasons for the group’s disbandment. Earlier, the group leader Park JungJin wrote on A’ST1’s official fanclub Eunice official site the news of the group’s disbandment on 27th November.

He revealed, “I find it hard to believe too. We are sorry”, “Currently the members are all doing well”, “And each members are working hard at where they are now”, “Thank you everyone all this while, you were our strength and we love you”.

The group, consisting of members Park JungJin, Seong InGyu, Im HanByul, Byun JangMoon and Chinese member Haiming and Japanese member Tomo, debuted back in 2008 with the song ‘1234BACK’.

[News] Kim Hye-soo’s brother pursues acting career



Kim Hye-soo (Style) has been a top star for a number of years now, and now her younger brother is getting his shot at acting: The 31-year-old Kim Dong-hee (above) has been cast to play the younger brother to Gong Hyo-jin’s character in the new MBC drama Pasta. He said, “At home, Hye-soo noona gives me a lot of acting advice. I want to learn a lot from Gong Hyo-jin sunbae.” (Gong is older, but as an acting veteran, she is Kim’s senior and therefore gets called “sunbae.”)

Every now and again, it’s interesting to take a look at stars’ siblings, such as with Ha Jung-woo and Jo In-sung. Perhaps the best examples of both siblings being successful in their individual careers are the Uhms (as in Jung-hwa and Tae-woong) and Kim Tae-hee and Lee Wan.
The Kims have a third sibling who’s also in the business: middle brother is 35-year-old actor Kim Dong-hyun, who has had roles in dramas Mun Hee and Secret Lovers.
Kim Dong-hee has appeared in music videos, but his official acting debut came as one of Sorabol’s ten Hwarang warriors in Queen Seon-deok. In Pasta, which incidentally takes over Seon-deok’s Monday-Tuesday timeslot, he’ll play a studious medical student. Pasta premieres on January 4.

[News] After School “7 Member Transformation, Musical Foundation Strengthened”





Female group After School has expressed their thoughts on its rebirth from a 6 member group to a 7 member group.
After the departure of an original member, So Young, in October, After School has recruited Raina and Nana and reorganized as a 7 member team. As a new 7 member group, they have just released their first single “Because of You.” The new single, which is a sentimental, electronic pop track, is rising on many music charts across the board and is being received well by fans.
On December 2nd, the 7 members of After School, Kahi, Jungah, Jooyeon, Uee, Bekah, Raina, and Nana, had an interview with Money Today Star News, and the group commented on various topics ranging from their thoughts on their transformation into a 7 member team to their new single, “Because of You.”
The group’s leader, Kahi, stated, “With two new members joining, it’s become much more lively and energetic than before,” and added, “the most important thing is that with Raina joining, our vocals have become especially stronger.”
Jungah also agreed that “the musical foundation has become stronger” and “a track like ’Because of You’ was possible due to this renewed strength.” Jooyeon also reiterated the other members in saying, “the vocal portions have considerable support now, and the team atmosphere has become more elegant as well.”


In response, Raina said, “I was always a fan of After School, but now that I get to perform alongside everyone as a member, it’s a big honor for me,” and continued, “and on top of everything, I’m being complimented so much that it’s made me very happy.”
Now as the youngest member, Nana stated, “I’m so thankful to the other members who have treated me like family and taken care of me,” and added, “I will continue to do my best and live up the After School name.”
One of the original members, Uee stated, “I was afraid that ‘Because of You’ could have been received as a dull or boring song because of its sad and mellow tone, but I am so glad that all of our fans have shown much love and support for it that I am very happy these days.”
Bekah added, “[the new single] is more heavy and somber than previous releases, but After School has taken things to the next level through transitions such as this… We are very thankful for our fans’ loyal support during our transformation.”

[News] New ‘Sunday Night,’ who did the PDs pick as the rising MC stars?


QUOTE:
새로워진 ‘일밤’, PD들이 뽑은 MC 기대주는?
'헌터스' 정용화 · 김현중, '단비' 탁재훈 · 윤두준, '아버지' 황정음 · 정가은 · 김구라 뽑아
2009-12-04 16:08

돌아온 ‘쌀집아저씨’ 김영희 PD를 수장으로 내세운 MBC ‘일요일 일요일 밤에’가 기대와 우려 속에 오는 6일 첫 방송을 앞두고 있다. 새로워진 ‘일밤’은 우리 이웃과 환경을 돌아보고 글로벌 선행을 통해 사랑과 관심을 전세계에 전파하는 공익성 예능 프로그램을 표방하고 있다.

새 술을 새 부대에 담는만큼 이를 진행하는 MC들의 얼굴도 새롭다. 제작진은 정용화, 윤두준, 황정음, 정가은, 김현중, 구하라 등 새로운 얼굴과 김용만, 탁재훈, 신정환, 김구라, 김현철, 신동엽, 이휘재 등 중량감 있는 MC들을 고루고루 섞어 신구세대의 조화를 이뤘다.

여기에 공익근무를 마치고 소집해제한 천명훈과 레슬링 코치인 심권호 씨가 가세해 눈길을 끌고 있다. 수많은 MC 중 제작진이 꼽은 기대주는 누구일까? ‘일밤’ 담당 PD들에게 들어보았다.

▶‘단비’ 성치경 PD “탁재훈에게 이런 면이?”

더 불어 성PD는 ‘단비’로 첫 예능 MC에 도전하는 그룹 ‘비스트’의 윤두준에 대해서도 가능성을 엿봤다고 말했다. 성PD는 “윤두준은 비교적 어린 나이와 적은 경험에도 불구하고 프로그램 적응력이 빠른 편이었다. 회가 갈수록 지켜봐야 할 인물이다”고 덧붙였다.



In English:
Returning ‘Rice House Ajuhssi (old man)’ Kim Young Hee PD has remodeled MBC ‘Sunday Sunday Night’ and is waiting for the December 6 first episode in the face of much anticipation. The new ‘Sunday Sunday Night’ will look at others around us and our surroundings, and it will also work to spread love and interest for worldwide problems through global service.

The brand new faces of the MCs reflect how much the show has changed. The writers mixed new faces such as Jung Yong Hwa, Yoon Doojoon, Hwang Jungeum, Jung Gaeun, Kim Hyunjoong, and Goo Hara with experienced MCs such as Kim Yongman, Shin Junghwan, Kim Goora, Kim Hyunchul, Shin Dongyeob, and Lee Hwijae.

Among these various MCs, who did the writers pick as the rising stars? We asked the main ‘Sunday Sunday Night’ producer.

▶‘DanBi’ Sung Chikyung PD: “Tak Jaehoon had this side to him?”

[irrelevant information omitted]

In addition [to Tak Jaehoon], Sung PD also said he saw potential in group BEAST’s leader Yoon Doojoon, who is attempting a variety show for the first time with ‘DanBi.’ Sung PD said, “Despite the fact that he is young and has little experience, he was quickly able to catch on to the program. He is someone we’ll have to watch closely as the episodes go on.”

[News] MBLAQ wants to get close to SNSD


MBLAQ was on Starry Night Radio where SNSD’s Sooyoung and 2AM’s Changmin are the hosts. The boys of MBLAQ talked about many things including which SNSD member they would want to get close to.

Sooyoung wanted to know who they wanted to be friends with in SNSD. Translation: She asked for their ideal types hoping they’d all pick her.

Sadly for Sooyoung, only one of them did! It’s okay though, she still has a ridiculous amount of fan boys at her side.

Mir chose Sunny because when he talked to her for a split second on the set of Star Golden Bell, they really hit it off. Then another member said, “But your ideal type is Taeyeon.” Ouch, our boy Mir got caught in the act of cheating. But it must be true because he blushed as soon as someone said Taeyeon’s name. I bet he was hoping he was sitting at ChinChin Radio instead.

Thunder said he wanted to get close with Seohyun because on Intimate Note, she seemed to have a huge force. G.O picked Yuri saying she seemed outgoing. At this point, Sooyoung felt a little disappointed and said, “Alright, last person Lee Joon and no one has said me.”

Gentleman Lee Joon finished it off smoothly by saying, “Definitely Sooyoung! I saw you a lot in a hair salon during SNSD’s debut days and you’re so tall.” Sooyoung was a bit embarrassed and said, “Debut days? That’s when we looked the worst.”

Who else thinks these boys picked their ideal types instead of answering the question in the right way?

[News]Kim So-Eun: Interview with SOHU



During the Busan Film Festival, SOHU managed to meet up with “Chu Ga-eul” – Kim So-eun. Her scenes with co-star Kim Bum were one of the reasons why many people continued with the series, and the ambiguous ending of their relationship kept many fans waiting for a clear answer.

When SOHU informed her about the passion that China fans had for the “Soeulmates” pairing, Kim So-eun laughed and said that they were just classmates, and even during the filming of [Boys Over Flowers], they were simply friends who went to Chungang University together, and there were no thoughts of taking the relationship further.



SOHU: Firstly, say hello to everyone!

KSE: Hello everyone, I’m Kim So-eun, it’s nice to meet all of you!


SOHU: Because of [Boys Over Flowers], there are many people in China who are fans of you. The show can be considered a turning point in your life, yes? Do you feel that your life is any different now?

KSE: [Boys Over Flowers] was really a turning point for me, because before that no one actually knew who I was. But because of this drama, everyone has started to know who I am and have given me their love, so I’m really happy that I have fans of my own now. In terms of my life, it does seem like there is some difference now. (Laughs)


SOHU: Do you feel that it’s hard to adjust to your sudden fame?

KSE: To be honest, this situation is like… everyone knows who I am but I don’t know who everyone is. Also, being a public figure means that everything I do is scrutinized by the masses. In this area, it was pretty hard to get used to. But now, I’m slowly getting comfortable with this.


SOHU: Filming [The Man Who Cannot Get Married] can be considered taking a new challenge, yes? What have you gained from it?

KSE: In [Boys Over Flowers], Chu Ga-eul is a high school student who’s a bit of an introvert, but in [The Man Who Cannot Get Married], Yujin is a 26 year old who is cheerful and outgoing, kinda like me in person actually. So I was thinking, should I act a little more naturally then? Through this series, I got to understand better the thoughts of people in their 20s, and I also am more familiar with the details of the working world now.


SOHU: Lots of China fans actually want Chu Ga-eul and So Yijung to end up together. What do you think of Kim Bum? Do the both of you have any possibility of ending up together as a pair?

KSE: Everyone keeps asking this question, it’s non-stop! (Laughs) I’m university schoolmates with Kim Bum, and before we filmed [Boys Over Flowers] we were already friends who went to classes together, so I really don’t have any romantic feelings towards him. We’re good friends, yes, so I hope everyone will accept our status as good friends.


SOHU: If you meet someone you like, will you stay silent and watch him from afar, or take the initiative to confess your feelings? If you get rejected like in [Boys Over Flowers], what would you do?

KSE: I’m not really like Ga-eul, I don’t know how to express my feelings very well with words, so if I like someone I’ll hide it in my heart. But for Ga-eul, she’s very expressive if she likes someone, and will be very hardworking to strive for her love. So after acting as Ga-eul, my point of view towards romance seems to have changed as well.


SOHU: Do you have any new projects as of now?

KSE: I’ve received some scripts and am reading through them now. If there is a suitable one, I believe I will see everyone again with a new drama, so please wait for a while more! (Laughs shyly)


SOHU: Do you have any hobbies outside of work?

KSE: I really like exercising, as well as reading, learning and then watching television and movies, to pick up some acting techniques from the actors in whatever I’m watching. I like going out with my friends and playing with them too. To me, being an actress is simply my job, I’m not much different from other girls my age.


SOHU: Who are you closer to, with actresses that in your age group? Is Kim So-eun like Chu Ga-eul in private?

KSE: The very popular Jandi, Hyesun unnie, we’re rather close. Also, Go Ara, because we study in the same university. We’re good friends as well.


SOHU: Do you have any Chinese artistes or directors that you admire?

KSE: Ah, I like Jay Chou from [Secret]! (The reporter’s expression then shows that she likes Jay Chou very much as well, Kim So-eun looks at her) Do you like him as well? I really, really like him very much. I love that movie, and I feel that Jay Chou is really good: he’s a director, actor and singer all at once. I admire him for being so all rounded.


SOHU: Lastly, what do you want to say to your fans in China?

KSE: Thank you for coming to Korea for this interview, and thank you for all the love that everyone has shown to [Boys Over Flowers]. I believe I will be coming out with a new drama soon, please wait patiently. I hope everyone will continue liking and supporting me, thank you! (Waves)
