T-ara’s Jiyeon to cameo in “Ripley”

T-ara’s Jiyeon will be making a cameo appearance on MBC’s new drama, “Ripley“!

In the pilot episode, Jiyeon will be playing the role of the Japanese prime minister’s daughter, ‘Yuu’, who suddenly disappears at the hotel that Kim Seung Woo’s character owns. Lee Da Hae eventually finds her and returns her to the prime minister, which in turn helps raise her own status.

Filming recently took place at a subway station in Seoul and a hotel in Namsan.

Because a lot of scenes had to be shot in a short period of time, filming went late into the night, which reportedly did not bother the young star at all.

Producers said, “Despite her busy schedule, she readily agreed to make a cameo appearance for our drama. Her character is important in that she opens up a new life for Lee Da Hae.”

Check it all out at May 30th 9:55 PM KST!

TVXQ’s Yunho to star in “Cobu 3D” as a special guest

TVXQ’s Yunho has been cast alongside labelmate BoA for the upcoming Hollywood dance film, “Cobu 3D“!

Fans began speculating that he was just going to meet BoA on a personal note when he left for Toronto on the 18th, but as it turned out, it was for the “Cobu 3D” filming also.

According to info revealed by SM Entertainment on May 20th, Yunho recently headed over to Toronto, Canada in order to take part in the filming as a ’special guest.’

BoA tweeted, “Special guest! Yunho. Such a great guy!” Attached with the tweet are two pictures of the stars posing side by side at the film set.

Yunho is well known for his exceptional dance skills so many are of the opinion that he’s a perfect fit for the movie. Representatives were also of the belief that since it’s none other than BoA leading the film, a top star like Yunho would be the only appropriate guest.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting film which will hit cinemas in early 2012.

TVXQ’s Love Triangle CF Becomes A Hot Topic!

Asia’s stars TVXQ have recently become a hot topic for showing a new side of themselves through their work with Shilla Duty Free.

Shilla Duty Free will working with TVXQ, who are extremely popular in Korea, China and Japan, from July to begin a global advertisement marketing strategy targeting young women in their 20s and 30s in the aforementioned countries.

In the second half of 2010, Shilla Duty Free used the advertisement concept of ‘A Dramatic Journey to Call My Own: My Journey Begins’ and created a dramatic space of interwoven stories of love, grief, meeting and parting using various items available in the duty-free shops. This was an avant-garde approach, compared to the previous advertisements that merely emphasized the benefits of ‘shopping’, that differentiated Shilla Duty Free from others and its wish to share and enjoy memorable moments during the journey of its customers.

The commercial will be filmed in three parts with the first ‘U-Know Yunho’ episode dealing with U-Know Yunho dashing to the departure lounge in a last desperate effort to stop ‘her’ from leaving. Though he ends up finding her, he sees her sharing a kiss with Choikang Changmin.

In the second ‘Choikang Changmin’ episode, the sweet yet dangerous kiss given by Choikang Changmin to capture ‘her’ heart will be seen. Through this advertisement, Choikang Changmin will change his image from a kind and good-natured man into a fatally charming bad boy.

In the third ‘Her’ episode, ‘she’ will be seen choosing between U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin with great difficulty. Though she is drawn to Choikang Changmin’s active approach, she still has strong and lingering feelings for U-Know Yunho deep within her heart. Who will she end up choosing? That is how a drama to call her own starts.

The three commercials will use watches, lipstick and bags, Shilla Duty Free’s hot items, as themes and be structured in the form of a ‘drama’. The commercial will begin airing mid-June in Korea and will then be aired in Japan and China after subtitles are added for foreigners who visit Shilla Duty Free.

Many are anticipating global stars TVXQ’s new CF and its effect on the heartstrings of women all over Asia.

Yoona
Just two days after their much talked about performance at Hanyang University, members of Girls' Generation were spotted at an English Village in South Korea earlier today. Pictures of Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun quickly surfaced, and the girls were found dressed in the same yellow outfits they wore for their "MR. TAXI" music video.

SHINee's Key was also found alongside the girls in one the pictures. Though the purpose of their visit to the English Village is still unclear, many are already waiting in anticipation and making their own guesses.

English Villages provide a short-term immersion English experience in a live-in environment where only English is spoken to promote English learning and to build cultural awareness. They can be found in places like Seoul and Gyeonggi-do.
