[News] How Korean TV drama ‘Playful Kiss’ flopped locally but hit globally
Source: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/korean-tv-drama-playful-kiss-211248435.html
Every TV network executive in Burbank cries into their organic kombucha from time to time about the great show that just couldn’t find an audience, whether it be from unlucky scheduling quirks or creative concepts that were just too far ahead of their time.
And it’s not just a domestic issue — the producers of Korea’s Playful Kiss saw their youth drama succumb to an inauspiciously short local-TV run back in the fall of 2010, going up against hit time-period competition from My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (“Gumiho” translates into “nine-tailed fox,” a Chinese mythic figure, if that helps).
Like Terra Nova, that Knight Rider remake a few years back, or any show starring Christian Slater, Playful Kissmight have been headed to the junk pile of so-called “broken series” — shows that made it past the pilot stage but didn’t live long enough to accumulate a syndication library. But Playful Kiss is proving to be more likeArrested Development, a low-rated but critically beloved Fox comedy that was such a popular streaming choice on Netflix, the company decided last year to resume production of the show.
Through global TV streaming service ViKi, Playful Kiss has become somewhat of a worldwide sensation, garnering a loyal audience of nearly 7 million viewers and more than recouping a modest production spend of under $1 million several million dollars to make 16 episodes.
According to Razmig Hovaghimian, CEO of ViKi, which is based in Singapore but keeps an office near its Bay Area funding, the show has been streamed more than 70 million times by ViKi users, about 1,400 of whom have used the site’s innovative group subtitling tool to translate the show into 56 languages.
The series, about a quirky high school girl whose family moves into the home of a popular boy she has a crush on following an earthquake, has garnered an audience that’s 70 percent non-Asian, Hovaghimian said. Ample viewership, for example, has come through a ViKi syndication partnership with Hulu in the U.S., while producer Group 8 has already worked with YouTube on a follow-up digital series.
Supplied to ViKi under barter advertising terms, Group 8 has recouped $400,000 in ad revenue to date through the service, while the global exposure of the series has enabled the company to take in another $3.5 million through a dozen foreign broadcast deals.
Sums up Group 8 CEO Song Byung Joon: ”ViKi helped Playful Kiss find its audience.”

SS501 member Kim Hyun-joong is the latest K-pop celebrity to be in the spotlight in the Windy City. The singer and actor plans to hold a world tour later this year. He will visit his fans (endearingly called Henecians) in their individual countries across the world as a follow up to his Asia tours.
During the course of his career, Kim Hyun-joong has visited Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, and many other Asian countries multiple times. The 25-year-old is a veteran in the music industry and he has even filmed one of his music videos in California.
Chicago, on the other hand, has not been graced by his presence. Since the Wonder Girls World Tour in 2010, the city has not seen another idol star touch its soil. 2012 is the year Chicago plans to change all that. The twitter account @KimHyunJoongFan recently started an online petition to make their concert request to Kim Hyun-joong's management company, KeyEast. They are asking that his world tour make a stop in Chicago, Ilinois in the latter half of this year.
The petition description reads as follows:
"KeyEast, please hold a Kim Hyun-joong solo concert in Chicago, IL. Singer, actor, and model Kim Hyun-joong has traveled all over Asia for his diehard Henecians (fans).
However, his dedicated and supportive Henecians in the USA would love to see him live in concert here. We would like him to begin his USA tour in Chicago,IL. The fan twitter (@KimHyunJoongFan) admin., who resides in Chicago, would love to share the great experience, of attending a Kim Hyun-joong concert, first hand with the thousands of followers, who are also fans, of the @KimHyunJoongFan twitter".
The fan twitter account has over 14,000 followers from around the world and it continues to grow. Fans from far and wide express their love for the singer and share information about his concerts, fan meetings, album releases, etc through tweets to the account.
Why do they want a Kim Hyun-joong concert in one of America's most diverse and richly cultured cities?
"I have been his fan since he debuted in SS501 and I would love to attend one of his concerts. He is such an amazing singer. Please take this petition in consideration", stated Natali.
"Kim Hyun-joong is one my favorite actors/singers . It would be nice for K-pop to do tour stops other than Los Angeles or New York. I will drive eight hours if he will come! Maybe we all can get to be a 'Lucky Guy' and have KHJ come", commented Sherri.
"I am signing because I and many others in Chicago want Kim Hyun Joong to hold a concert in Chicago, Illinois in 2012", stated Lorena.
"I really want him to hold a concert here in Chicago, because he's my favorite and he's my Idol. I really love him", Julie expressed.
Chicago not only offers historically beautiful museums, monumental record breaking skyscraper heights and delicious cuisine, it is also the place America's current President Barack Obama, formerly resided.
Kim Hyun-joong debuted with the boy band SS501 in June of 2005. His band had a successful career with their hit albums including "Snow Prince", "Deju Vu", "UR Man", "Rebirth", and "Destination". His popularity skyrocket all over the world after his role in the the 2009 KBS drama "Boys over Flowers".
He began his solo career in the latter half of 2010 acting in MBC's "Playful Kiss" drama. Kim debuted as a solo artist in June of 2011 with the release of his first mini album "Breakdown". His second mini album "Lucky Guy" was released in October and he unveiled the Japanese version of both albums' hit singles in January of 2012.

[News] Kim Hyun Joong Expresses His Disinterest in Acting

Kim Hyun Joong expressed his disinterest in acting when he first debuted as an actor. He’s long been criticized for his lack of acting skills, despite earning a number of lead roles due to his pretty face and popularity.
On the April 14 episode of MBC “K-Pop Star in the World – Lucky Guy Kim Hyun Joong,” the star actor/singer revealed his true feelings about the acting criticism. He said, “To be honest, and I’m sorry to all the sunbaes or people studying acting now, but I started out with absolutely no interest in acting. That’s probably why there were so many criticism on my acting in the early part of my career.”
Song Byung Joon, the director of Kim Hyun Joong’s two main dramas, “Boys over Flowers” and “Playful Kiss,” added, “His (Kim Hyun Joong) reading was literally just ‘reading’ the script. He read it like elementary school students reading their textbooks in class. At first the scriptwriter was frustrated. So we talked about it and I told the scriptwriter that since Kim Hyun Joong does not know what a ‘script reading’ session is, let’s try and wait to pull out his potential.”
Yang Yoon Ho, the producer of “Iris,” also said, “Of course I love Kim Hyun Joong, but the reason we bet on him is pretty clear. He has huge potential to become a mega star and he really takes good care of him. His popularity now puts no pressure on him and he’s able to control everything. Even if his popularity grows, he seems like a person who will be able to handle it.”
Since his debut as part of SS501, Kim Hyun Joong expanded his resume to acting by appearing in the 2009 KBS drama “Boys over Flowers.” In 2010, he appeared in his second TV series, MBC “Playful Kiss.”
However, due to his lack of experience, many critics pointed to his poor acting skills and unclear articulation. There were also concerns that he lacked the charisma and leadership to play the lead role in any TV drama. But he’s been able to significantly improve his acting over the years and is now considered one of the very few idol stars with the star power to single-handedly lead a TV show.
