[article] Kim Hyun Joong… JAKSAL HERO



By: LazerKim               Kim Hyun Joong doing the dishes at Jaksal made big news not only at the different internet sites, but also at the local news paper of HongKong!! Can you beat that, the Jaksal Hero just popped out!! I can’t help but laugh as someone from the twitter posted the local newspaper from HongKong and having the pictures of Kim Hyun Joong doing the dishes! To the fans who took picture shot of Hyun Joong at Jaksal and sharing it with us, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made many people happy!!
Now I’m having certain conclusions that Hyun Joong’s fans are indeed resourceful and can bring out good news about Kim Hyun Joong that we fans always take pride. I was thinking Hyun Joong might have seen the picture at the internet, and he knew how his fans miss him a lot. Hyun Joong immediately reciprocated by writing his message to us, and that was very thoughtful of him and so sweet as he mentioned, he was itching in letting the public know that he was not lying but working, as Hyun Joong stated what to look forward from him after being away from the cameras for quite sometime.
I knew it the moment that picture was out there at the internet would be a surprise it not shock to the general public even the photos were not intended for publicity, considering that certain moment captured by a fan cam was during Hyun Joong’s private period since he wasn’t working as an artist but as a restaurant owner. Without Hyun Joong even being aware of, it was a good example of being a businessman’s role model. As a star who ventures in a different field should learn how to go down to basics no matter how far his fame had taken him.
By this way and by the time a star falls down from the sky would not be too painful to endure!! What I’m trying to say is that, in showbiz there’s such a thing as expiration date, just like the products we are buying. In reality, being an artist in showbiz is not a lasting profession. And I’m sure Kim Hyun Joong is very much aware about this as I was reading from his interview that he set his lay out plan for his career, from the present till he reach his age 30 and after his military duties.
Hyun Joong is so smart that he started building his restaurant expanding it and maintaining a goodwill name of Jaksal.  In reality, Jaksal can be Hyun Joong’s fall back when the time comes he closes down down his curtain.The first time he exposed the existence of this restaurant was back in 2008 during the time he was filming BOF, and disclosed the history of Jaksal.
For a briefer, the name Jaksal was derived from Hyun Joong’s dog name, which I do not know if he’s still alive, but I understand his dog name Jaksal was being owned by his family. When Hyun Joong was still in high school, he had two childhood friends whom he is currently keeping. The three of them made a promise that whoever became successful they will put up a chicken restaurant. These are kiddie talks and dreams that who would ever expect to come in reality? Hyun Joong was the first to became successful, and went back to his friends to fulfill the promise. Hyun Joong placed the investment and start on the first outlet.
In one talk show, Hyun Joong was asked if he ever has a financial handler and he said he does his financing by himself. This talk show was only last year so I was assuming he is still on his own, which doesn’t surprise me at all, because even in his kiddie years he already knows what a bank is and what its purpose. Hyun Joong grew up saving money and he’s a practical financial handler. He’s not a big spender that will only end up in a trash can that no one can benefit from. He is smart when it comes to money matters but never been selfish, he always have a slice of the cake for his family and the less fortunate.
From his younger years he learned the value of life and money since everything he earns comes from his own sweat. We all know how Hyun Joong struggled learning about life the hard way yet still manage to provide to the needs of his family at the young age. We know very well how he never fails to share what he got to the extent of being stingy to himself so as he has something bigger to share with others. That’s him until at time and have not change ever since.
Being an entrepreneur it is just right to know the responsibilities of each subordinate an owner has, and it is just right to have a hands on experience in running the business. Although in the case of Hyun Joong being the CEO of the Jaksal he has store managers to run each outlets respectively. I understand Hyun Joong is the major financier of Jaksal that he doesn’t need to physically operate the entire nine outlets. In short, he is being a responsible owner, if he loses any of his staffs he can fill in and do the job. In small business entity this can be done but since Jaksal is getting to its expansion of nine outlets, there’s much more that Hyun Joong is responsible with.
In my other articles I have written about Hyun Joong’s being a commercial model, that he has to keep a good personal reputation, that it is not only looks that big companies look for who can be their official endorser and to represent their prestigious company name. Just the same with Jaksal, the fact that Hyun Joong owns the store, he represents the name not only as a commercial model for Jaksal but as the CEO. One of the Jaksal managers who is Hyun Joong’s partner stated, that they are very careful in terms of the restaurant reputation because they carry the name Kim Hyun Joong.
In this case it’s two way traffic there, Hyun Joong has to keep his name clean or he loses the integrity of Jaksal or Jaksal management has to keep a good restaurant reputation since the store carries the name of Kim Hyun Joong. I would say this is a big responsibility for Hyun Joong to be taken extra care of. Global expansion for Jaksal can be possible, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there may be business proposals with Hyun Joong on global franchising of Jaksal.
Franchising is good although there are advantage and disadvantage considering the name Kim Hyun Joong is attached with the franchising. Let’s not forget he is not a commercial model for Jaksal, he is the CEO. And the more the business expands the greater Hyun Joong’s responsibilities are being the CEO of Jaksal. In the restaurant industry there are many matters to consider in terms of global expansion for obvious reasons we’re talking about food here. Business wise this can be a good strategy since Hyun Joong’s growing popularity in Japan is a great advantage and this goes with Jaksal too.
Since the store is becoming popular too specially with the recent incident happened as Hyun Joong was caught unaware doing the dishes in his restaurant!! And knowing it was totally innocent not intended for no reason,  just a fan happened to be at the store while Hyun Joong was caught up unexpectedly. Now the news had reached HongKong, I will not be surprised if by this time it’s already in Japan and I’m telling you the Japanese would love that and would say “Hyun Joong san kawai”! Meaning cute! Not unless Japanese media will again suppress the news!! If you know what I mean!
As Hyun Joong’s fans, we do attend to his concerts and his other events, we watch his dramas, we support his albums and probably anything that is being attached to his name. We do follow whatever updates we can read about him but we are not aware what may be currently behind him other than being our idol. Hyun Joong had disclosed the existence of Jaksal and here I am talking about his other basic responsibilities as a businessman in the world of restaurant industry. Hyun Joong has so much on his shoulders both as an artist who craves for further talent enhancement that he’s been working very hard, and as a businessmen who’s responsible in providing food service to everyone who steps in to Jaksal.
He has all of these in hands jointly, if he losses one he’s bound to lose the other, likewise if he succeed, he wins both. His restaurant staffs depends him as the CEO, KeyEast depends on him too being their artist representing the company. With all these responsibilities would you still be surprised if even his personal desire takes the back seat? One single mistake on his part can blew up what he had build for himself. I can only speak for myself but as a fan, my blog is always prepared to defend and protect the Prince. I guess this is the essence of this blog site other than sharing love for the Prince.
Hyun Joong has been very truthful and honest to himself and to those whom he deals with which is vital to any business. He’s smart, he knows exactly where he stands, keeping his feet firmly on the ground no matter how the heights of his success has brought him to, as Hyun Joong maintained his good reputation as star and as a person in reality. He is an independent minded person that no one can dictates on him, but he do listens to wisdom.
He knows his priorities in life and he knows exactly what he wants and what he is capable of attaining. Except for one thing, he lives with no high expectations, that he just kept going and never stop trying his best giving everything what he got and that is why he was totally overwhelm by the returns he receives from both success in his career and in business. He remained humble and modest at all times that made other people draws near him.
Kim Hyun Joong is one person at a very young age that we can learn a lot from him in his experience and from himself as a person, being a truly role model to anyone regardless of social status. What seemed to be a childhood dream with his kiddie friends turned out a dream come true! Hyun Joong and his friends may just be dreaming of a small business entity just to survive, but that dream was more than Hyun Joong’s expectation of what Jaksal should be. By simply being himself in reality in keeping a good reputation had brought his Jaksal to even huge success just like in his career, that we take pride being his fans and followers.
Kim Hyun Joong once said “big dreams made me a better person.” A star hero he made in the showbiz world and a Jaksal Hero he made in the business world, both are dreams made possible through his humbleness and sincere hard work….

[News] Kim Hyun Joong Was Looking Good, Hyuna Charmed Japan, G-Dragon Picked Favorites and More

Credits  enewsworld.mnet.com


Hope we haven’t lost anyone yet as we rewind to one year ago in the world of Korean entertainment.

Today, we travel back in time to September 16, 2011, when one hallyu star and one girl group member were getting face time in Japan. Meanwhile, in the world of acting, one actress was cast in what would become one of the hottest dramas of 2011, and another starlet was named G-Dragon’s favorite fashionista. 




Kim Hyun Joong heat up Japan

Just a year ago, hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong was named the new face of Japanese clothing brand Heatfact.

That may have been a year ago, but Kim Hyun Joong is still on fire today.

Coincidentally, Kim Hyun Joong has been heating up the music charts all summer long with his latest release in JapanHeat.

You know you’re hot when real fireworks are involved.

Haha loved on Yoo Jae Suk

Kim Hyun Joong wasn’t the only one feeling the heat, as Haha was warming up to Yoo Jae Suk last year.

If anyone knows how to boost Yoo Jae Suk’s ego, it’s Haha, and the funnyman did hold back on expressing hisadmiration for the MC on KBS’ Happy Together.

But Haha can’t be showing his affection for just anyone now—seeing as he’s going to be a married man
very soon.

We still can’t get over the fact that our favorite big kid is taking the plunge, but we all have to grow up sooner or later, right?

4minute’s Hyuna charmed Japan

Japanese fans confirmed 4minute member Hyuna’s popularity by naming her the most charming Cube girl in a survey among the fans in the country.

We couldn’t quite get over the weirdly specific title, but it was a compliment nonetheless, as Hyuna beat out her fellow 4minute members and sexy songstress G.Na.

In case you were wondering, Hyuna is still her charming self today. Or at least, last we checked.

Flower Boy Ramen Shop took off

We’re all about tvN’s Reply 1997 these days, but last year, another tvN drama was driving us crazy: Flower Boy Ramen Shop.

If Reply 1997 is tugging at our H.O.T. fan girl heartstrings right now, Flower Boy Ramen Shop had us riled up over…the hot boys.

But the drama would not have been the same without actress Lee Chung Ah, who was cast in the drama around this time last year.

TvN has been on a roll with their dramas!

G-Dragon named names

Big Bang leader G-Dragon is a one-of-a-kind trendsetter when it comes to his music and clothes, but who did he deem his favorite fashionista?

None other than actress Kim Min Hee, and we couldn’t agree more.

The stylish actress can pull off a potato sack, that’s for sure, but what about these signature G-Dragon hairstyles?

We have more blast from the past star news coming your way, so stay tuned!

And check in for more Readers Appreciation Specials,highlighting YOU guys throughout the month!

[News] JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun Hit Up Thailand, SS501’s Kim Kyu Jong Turned Us On, Monday Couple Was on the Rocks and More





After counting down to our anniversary by looking back on some of the hottest celebrity news from last year, the big day is finally here!

EnewsWorld was born one year ago today, and we’ve been doing our best to bring you the latest news in K-Pop, K-dramas and film ever since. So what were the stars up to on this day last year? Read on to find out!



The Monday Couple’s days were numbered

We were all rooting for the Monday Couple on SBS variety show Running Man around this time last year, so we got a little nervous when Gary seemed a little too excited to have actress Lee Yeon Hee as a guest on the show.

If only we had known then that actress Song Ji Hyo would later drop the bomb that she was in a real relationship with an agency rep, breaking all of our hearts.

Gary said he was doing fine at the time, but for him to say recently that he doesn’t plan on getting married anytime soon, he must’ve been burned pretty badly.

SS501’s Kim Kyu Jong flew solo

Following in Kim Hyun Joong’s and the other SS501 members’ footsteps, Kim Kyu Jong was revving up for his solo activities last year with mini album Turn Me Ontrumpeting his return with a shocking new image.

Fast forward a year, and while many top stars serving in the army are expected to return to civilian life by the end of this year, Kim Kyu Jong is just getting started, having entered the army this summer.

JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun took Thailand by storm

Meanwhile, another idol star, JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun, was solidifying his hallyu status in Thailand through an exclusive fan meeting he held for popular drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

While the event was a special time for Park Yoo Chun’s Thai fans, his fans in other parts of the world came together in a big way last year as well to help the victims in Korean hit hard by the floods last year by donating 10 million won in the singer’s name.

Coincidentally, Park Yoo Chun was in Thailand just a few days ago to close out his Asia fan meeting tour in front of a sold out crowd of 5,000 fans.

Park Yoo Chun sure loves Thailand!

IU gave back

We love to see celebrities giving back, and last year, we reported that IU celebrated her third anniversary in a meaningful way, by preparing gifts and personally delivering them to her fans at the Inkigayo recording, where she was serving as the music program’s MC.

After taking a short hiatus, IU returned to her host position last month. IU said last year, “I wish I could be the InkigayoMC when my 30th anniversary rolls around as well.” And although the young singer still has a few years until then, we think she’s well on her way.

Meanwhile, the singer took to Twitter this year to commemorate the fourth anniversary of her debut with a cute photo.

Insooni’s tax troubles surfaced

The celebrity world wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies last year, however, as legendary singer Insooni’s past tax troubles surfaced in the wake of comedian Kang Ho Dong’s tax evasion scandal.

Besides serving as a judge on Super Diva 2012 earlier this year and starring in the musical Chicago, Insooni has been lying relatively low since.

That’s a wrap for our The Stars: Then & Now series!

JAKSAL SAN-DONG

According to weibo
He came out with his hands wet after the dishwashing so had to wipe them on his clothes before signing autographs. And applogised for his red face as he had been drinking. Also said they were short-handed. hopefully translated approximately correctly as my Chinese is crap.

[article] Kim Hyun Joong… JAKSAL HERO



By: LazerKim               Kim Hyun Joong doing the dishes at Jaksal made big news not only at the different internet sites, but also at the local news paper of HongKong!! Can you beat that, the Jaksal Hero just popped out!! I can’t help but laugh as someone from the twitter posted the local newspaper from HongKong and having the pictures of Kim Hyun Joong doing the dishes! To the fans who took picture shot of Hyun Joong at Jaksal and sharing it with us, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made many people happy!!
Now I’m having certain conclusions that Hyun Joong’s fans are indeed resourceful and can bring out good news about Kim Hyun Joong that we fans always take pride. I was thinking Hyun Joong might have seen the picture at the internet, and he knew how his fans miss him a lot. Hyun Joong immediately reciprocated by writing his message to us, and that was very thoughtful of him and so sweet as he mentioned, he was itching in letting the public know that he was not lying but working, as Hyun Joong stated what to look forward from him after being away from the cameras for quite sometime.
I knew it the moment that picture was out there at the internet would be a surprise it not shock to the general public even the photos were not intended for publicity, considering that certain moment captured by a fan cam was during Hyun Joong’s private period since he wasn’t working as an artist but as a restaurant owner. Without Hyun Joong even being aware of, it was a good example of being a businessman’s role model. As a star who ventures in a different field should learn how to go down to basics no matter how far his fame had taken him.
By this way and by the time a star falls down from the sky would not be too painful to endure!! What I’m trying to say is that, in showbiz there’s such a thing as expiration date, just like the products we are buying. In reality, being an artist in showbiz is not a lasting profession. And I’m sure Kim Hyun Joong is very much aware about this as I was reading from his interview that he set his lay out plan for his career, from the present till he reach his age 30 and after his military duties.
Hyun Joong is so smart that he started building his restaurant expanding it and maintaining a goodwill name of Jaksal.  In reality, Jaksal can be Hyun Joong’s fall back when the time comes he closes down down his curtain.The first time he exposed the existence of this restaurant was back in 2008 during the time he was filming BOF, and disclosed the history of Jaksal.
For a briefer, the name Jaksal was derived from Hyun Joong’s dog name, which I do not know if he’s still alive, but I understand his dog name Jaksal was being owned by his family. When Hyun Joong was still in high school, he had two childhood friends whom he is currently keeping. The three of them made a promise that whoever became successful they will put up a chicken restaurant. These are kiddie talks and dreams that who would ever expect to come in reality? Hyun Joong was the first to became successful, and went back to his friends to fulfill the promise. Hyun Joong placed the investment and start on the first outlet.
In one talk show, Hyun Joong was asked if he ever has a financial handler and he said he does his financing by himself. This talk show was only last year so I was assuming he is still on his own, which doesn’t surprise me at all, because even in his kiddie years he already knows what a bank is and what its purpose. Hyun Joong grew up saving money and he’s a practical financial handler. He’s not a big spender that will only end up in a trash can that no one can benefit from. He is smart when it comes to money matters but never been selfish, he always have a slice of the cake for his family and the less fortunate.
From his younger years he learned the value of life and money since everything he earns comes from his own sweat. We all know how Hyun Joong struggled learning about life the hard way yet still manage to provide to the needs of his family at the young age. We know very well how he never fails to share what he got to the extent of being stingy to himself so as he has something bigger to share with others. That’s him until at time and have not change ever since.
Being an entrepreneur it is just right to know the responsibilities of each subordinate an owner has, and it is just right to have a hands on experience in running the business. Although in the case of Hyun Joong being the CEO of the Jaksal he has store managers to run each outlets respectively. I understand Hyun Joong is the major financier of Jaksal that he doesn’t need to physically operate the entire nine outlets. In short, he is being a responsible owner, if he loses any of his staffs he can fill in and do the job. In small business entity this can be done but since Jaksal is getting to its expansion of nine outlets, there’s much more that Hyun Joong is responsible with.
In my other articles I have written about Hyun Joong’s being a commercial model, that he has to keep a good personal reputation, that it is not only looks that big companies look for who can be their official endorser and to represent their prestigious company name. Just the same with Jaksal, the fact that Hyun Joong owns the store, he represents the name not only as a commercial model for Jaksal but as the CEO. One of the Jaksal managers who is Hyun Joong’s partner stated, that they are very careful in terms of the restaurant reputation because they carry the name Kim Hyun Joong.
In this case it’s two way traffic there, Hyun Joong has to keep his name clean or he loses the integrity of Jaksal or Jaksal management has to keep a good restaurant reputation since the store carries the name of Kim Hyun Joong. I would say this is a big responsibility for Hyun Joong to be taken extra care of. Global expansion for Jaksal can be possible, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there may be business proposals with Hyun Joong on global franchising of Jaksal.
Franchising is good although there are advantage and disadvantage considering the name Kim Hyun Joong is attached with the franchising. Let’s not forget he is not a commercial model for Jaksal, he is the CEO. And the more the business expands the greater Hyun Joong’s responsibilities are being the CEO of Jaksal. In the restaurant industry there are many matters to consider in terms of global expansion for obvious reasons we’re talking about food here. Business wise this can be a good strategy since Hyun Joong’s growing popularity in Japan is a great advantage and this goes with Jaksal too.
Since the store is becoming popular too specially with the recent incident happened as Hyun Joong was caught unaware doing the dishes in his restaurant!! And knowing it was totally innocent not intended for no reason,  just a fan happened to be at the store while Hyun Joong was caught up unexpectedly. Now the news had reached HongKong, I will not be surprised if by this time it’s already in Japan and I’m telling you the Japanese would love that and would say “Hyun Joong san kawai”! Meaning cute! Not unless Japanese media will again suppress the news!! If you know what I mean!
As Hyun Joong’s fans, we do attend to his concerts and his other events, we watch his dramas, we support his albums and probably anything that is being attached to his name. We do follow whatever updates we can read about him but we are not aware what may be currently behind him other than being our idol. Hyun Joong had disclosed the existence of Jaksal and here I am talking about his other basic responsibilities as a businessman in the world of restaurant industry. Hyun Joong has so much on his shoulders both as an artist who craves for further talent enhancement that he’s been working very hard, and as a businessmen who’s responsible in providing food service to everyone who steps in to Jaksal.
He has all of these in hands jointly, if he losses one he’s bound to lose the other, likewise if he succeed, he wins both. His restaurant staffs depends him as the CEO, KeyEast depends on him too being their artist representing the company. With all these responsibilities would you still be surprised if even his personal desire takes the back seat? One single mistake on his part can blew up what he had build for himself. I can only speak for myself but as a fan, my blog is always prepared to defend and protect the Prince. I guess this is the essence of this blog site other than sharing love for the Prince.
Hyun Joong has been very truthful and honest to himself and to those whom he deals with which is vital to any business. He’s smart, he knows exactly where he stands, keeping his feet firmly on the ground no matter how the heights of his success has brought him to, as Hyun Joong maintained his good reputation as star and as a person in reality. He is an independent minded person that no one can dictates on him, but he do listens to wisdom.
He knows his priorities in life and he knows exactly what he wants and what he is capable of attaining. Except for one thing, he lives with no high expectations, that he just kept going and never stop trying his best giving everything what he got and that is why he was totally overwhelm by the returns he receives from both success in his career and in business. He remained humble and modest at all times that made other people draws near him.
Kim Hyun Joong is one person at a very young age that we can learn a lot from him in his experience and from himself as a person, being a truly role model to anyone regardless of social status. What seemed to be a childhood dream with his kiddie friends turned out a dream come true! Hyun Joong and his friends may just be dreaming of a small business entity just to survive, but that dream was more than Hyun Joong’s expectation of what Jaksal should be. By simply being himself in reality in keeping a good reputation had brought his Jaksal to even huge success just like in his career, that we take pride being his fans and followers.
Kim Hyun Joong once said “big dreams made me a better person.” A star hero he made in the showbiz world and a Jaksal Hero he made in the business world, both are dreams made possible through his humbleness and sincere hard work….

[News] Kim Hyun Joong Was Looking Good, Hyuna Charmed Japan, G-Dragon Picked Favorites and More

Credits  enewsworld.mnet.com


Hope we haven’t lost anyone yet as we rewind to one year ago in the world of Korean entertainment.

Today, we travel back in time to September 16, 2011, when one hallyu star and one girl group member were getting face time in Japan. Meanwhile, in the world of acting, one actress was cast in what would become one of the hottest dramas of 2011, and another starlet was named G-Dragon’s favorite fashionista. 




Kim Hyun Joong heat up Japan

Just a year ago, hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong was named the new face of Japanese clothing brand Heatfact.

That may have been a year ago, but Kim Hyun Joong is still on fire today.

Coincidentally, Kim Hyun Joong has been heating up the music charts all summer long with his latest release in JapanHeat.

You know you’re hot when real fireworks are involved.

Haha loved on Yoo Jae Suk

Kim Hyun Joong wasn’t the only one feeling the heat, as Haha was warming up to Yoo Jae Suk last year.

If anyone knows how to boost Yoo Jae Suk’s ego, it’s Haha, and the funnyman did hold back on expressing hisadmiration for the MC on KBS’ Happy Together.

But Haha can’t be showing his affection for just anyone now—seeing as he’s going to be a married man
very soon.

We still can’t get over the fact that our favorite big kid is taking the plunge, but we all have to grow up sooner or later, right?

4minute’s Hyuna charmed Japan

Japanese fans confirmed 4minute member Hyuna’s popularity by naming her the most charming Cube girl in a survey among the fans in the country.

We couldn’t quite get over the weirdly specific title, but it was a compliment nonetheless, as Hyuna beat out her fellow 4minute members and sexy songstress G.Na.

In case you were wondering, Hyuna is still her charming self today. Or at least, last we checked.

Flower Boy Ramen Shop took off

We’re all about tvN’s Reply 1997 these days, but last year, another tvN drama was driving us crazy: Flower Boy Ramen Shop.

If Reply 1997 is tugging at our H.O.T. fan girl heartstrings right now, Flower Boy Ramen Shop had us riled up over…the hot boys.

But the drama would not have been the same without actress Lee Chung Ah, who was cast in the drama around this time last year.

TvN has been on a roll with their dramas!

G-Dragon named names

Big Bang leader G-Dragon is a one-of-a-kind trendsetter when it comes to his music and clothes, but who did he deem his favorite fashionista?

None other than actress Kim Min Hee, and we couldn’t agree more.

The stylish actress can pull off a potato sack, that’s for sure, but what about these signature G-Dragon hairstyles?

We have more blast from the past star news coming your way, so stay tuned!

[News] JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun Hit Up Thailand, SS501’s Kim Kyu Jong Turned Us On, Monday Couple Was on the Rocks and More





After counting down to our anniversary by looking back on some of the hottest celebrity news from last year, the big day is finally here!

EnewsWorld was born one year ago today, and we’ve been doing our best to bring you the latest news in K-Pop, K-dramas and film ever since. So what were the stars up to on this day last year? Read on to find out!



The Monday Couple’s days were numbered

We were all rooting for the Monday Couple on SBS variety show Running Man around this time last year, so we got a little nervous when Gary seemed a little too excited to have actress Lee Yeon Hee as a guest on the show.

If only we had known then that actress Song Ji Hyo would later drop the bomb that she was in a real relationship with an agency rep, breaking all of our hearts.

Gary said he was doing fine at the time, but for him to say recently that he doesn’t plan on getting married anytime soon, he must’ve been burned pretty badly.

SS501’s Kim Kyu Jong flew solo

Following in Kim Hyun Joong’s and the other SS501 members’ footsteps, Kim Kyu Jong was revving up for his solo activities last year with mini album Turn Me Ontrumpeting his return with a shocking new image.

Fast forward a year, and while many top stars serving in the army are expected to return to civilian life by the end of this year, Kim Kyu Jong is just getting started, having entered the army this summer.

JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun took Thailand by storm

Meanwhile, another idol star, JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun, was solidifying his hallyu status in Thailand through an exclusive fan meeting he held for popular drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

While the event was a special time for Park Yoo Chun’s Thai fans, his fans in other parts of the world came together in a big way last year as well to help the victims in Korean hit hard by the floods last year by donating 10 million won in the singer’s name.

Coincidentally, Park Yoo Chun was in Thailand just a few days ago to close out his Asia fan meeting tour in front of a sold out crowd of 5,000 fans.

Park Yoo Chun sure loves Thailand!

IU gave back

We love to see celebrities giving back, and last year, we reported that IU celebrated her third anniversary in a meaningful way, by preparing gifts and personally delivering them to her fans at the Inkigayo recording, where she was serving as the music program’s MC.

After taking a short hiatus, IU returned to her host position last month. IU said last year, “I wish I could be the InkigayoMC when my 30th anniversary rolls around as well.” And although the young singer still has a few years until then, we think she’s well on her way.

Meanwhile, the singer took to Twitter this year to commemorate the fourth anniversary of her debut with a cute photo.

Insooni’s tax troubles surfaced

The celebrity world wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies last year, however, as legendary singer Insooni’s past tax troubles surfaced in the wake of comedian Kang Ho Dong’s tax evasion scandal.

Besides serving as a judge on Super Diva 2012 earlier this year and starring in the musical Chicago, Insooni has been lying relatively low since.

That’s a wrap for our The Stars: Then & Now series!

JAKSAL SAN-DONG

According to weibo
He came out with his hands wet after the dishwashing so had to wipe them on his clothes before signing autographs. And applogised for his red face as he had been drinking. Also said they were short-handed. hopefully translated approximately correctly as my Chinese is crap.

Korean singer Heo Young-saeng has added another work to his discography.
Heo released his Japanese debut single, “Over joyed,” according to his official Japanese website Wednesday.
“Over joyed” lists a total of 11 tracks including the Japanese version of his Korean songs “CRYING” and “LET IT GO” and original Japanese tunes such as “DraMagic!,” “1,2,3″ and “VACATION,” the website showed.
To mark the launch of his singing career there, Heo is to hold concerts at the SHIBUYA AX in Tokyo on September 22 and at the Zepp Namba in Osaka on September 24.
The idol star made his debut in five-member group SS501 with their self-titled debut album in 2005. The band has released various hit songs such as “Snow Prince,” U R Man” and “Love Ya.”
In June 2009, however, the members of SS501 stopped all activities after releasing the last EP album, “Destination.” as their contract with DSP Media had expired.
Heo made his comeback as a solo artist in May 2011 with his first solo album, which spawned hits including “LET IT GO,” and followed it up with his second mini-album “SOLO” this year.
