Birth place:  Ulsan, South Korea<br />

Profession:  Actress</p>
<p><small>(Also known as Kim Tae-hui)</small></p>
<p><strong>Kim Tae-hee Biography</strong></p>
<p>Kim Tae-hee made her entertainment debut as a model in late 90s, before started acting in some cameo roles.</p>
<p>Kim&#8217;s breakthrough came in 2003 with popular drama &#8220;Stairway to Heaven&#8221;, co-starring <a href="http://yeinjee.com/asianpop/kwon-sang-woo-profile-and-biography/">Kwon Sang-woo</a> and Choi Ji-woo.  Kim played the bad character in the drama, but her appearance and acting has won her many fans.</p>
<p>Kim Tae-hee then landed a leading role in &#8220;Forbidden Love&#8221; before starring in &#8220;Love Story in Harvard&#8221; (LSIH) alongside Kim Rae-won in 2005.  LSIH was a great hit in Korea and some Asian countries, and Kim becomes a regional superstar.</p>
<p>LSIH is Kim&#8217;s last drama to date; she starred in movie &#8220;The Restless&#8221; in 2006&#8230; a huge budget movie that ended in disappointment.  Her latest movie is &#8220;Quarrel&#8221; (<em>Ssawoom</em>) which is premiering in December 2007.</p>
<p>Kim Tae-hee has been featuring in lots of commercial films; lots of her CF are well received by fans and consumers, but there are critics arguing that she should spend more time on acting in real dramas and movies instead of all the commercials.</p>
<p>One undeniable fact though, Kim Tae-hee still remains as one of the most popular Korean actresses in Asia.</p>

<p>Daniel made his acting debut in 1998 in &#8220;Young and Dangerous: The Prequel&#8221; as supporting cast.  He starred in a few more movies before making his breakthrough as the leading actor for &#8220;Purple Storm&#8221; in 1999.  Purple Storm won some awards in various film festivals, and people started to notice Daniel&#8217;s acting besides his look.</p>

<p>Daniel forms a boyband, &#8216;Alive&#8217; in 2005.  His attention however, is not about the music, but to direct a <em>mockumentary</em> about Hong Kong music industry, using Alive as the centre of the plots.</p>
<p>His directing debut, &#8220;The Heavenly Kings&#8221; was released in April 2006.  The movie is not a huge box office success, but Daniel claimed the best new director award the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2007.</p>

<p><strong>Wang Lee Hom Profile</strong></p>
<p>Name:  Wang Lee Hom, Alexander<br />
Chinese name:  王力宏<br />
Nickname:  Homeboy<br />
DOB:  May 17, 1976<br />
Birth place:  Rochester, New York, USA<br />
Height:  180cm<br />
Blood type:  O<br />
Profession:  Singer, songwriter and actor</p>
<p><small>(Also known as Lee-Hom Wang, Wang Leehom, Wang Lee Hong)</small></p>
<p><strong>Wang Lee Hom Biography</strong></p>
<p>Wang Lee Hom was born in New York, and started learning music at young age.</p>
<p>He inked a recording deal in 1995 in Taiwan when visiting his grandparents, and released his debut album &#8220;Love Rival Beethoven&#8221; in late 1995.  Love Rival Beethoven was not a huge commercial success, but LeeHom was getting notice with his talent&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-343"></span>He wrote his own songs, and could play multiple musical instruments particularly with violin.  Besides, he looks handsome, and it helps gaining lots of young female fans over the years.</p>
<p>LeeHom released 3 more albums with decent success while continuing his study at Williams College.  His breakthrough came in 1998 after his graduation, with his 5th album, &#8220;Revolution&#8221;.</p>
<p>The album was a great hit, and won LeeHom multiple music awards, including the Best Producer and Best Male Vocalist at the prestigious Golden Melody Award in Taiwan.</p>
<p>LeeHom never looks back since then, releasing multiple best selling albums over the years.</p>
<p>Besides his popular melodic pop, LeeHom is famously known for mixing traditional music element into his pop songs, vice versa.  His first attempt was in 2000 by remaking iconic Chinese song, &#8220;The Descendants of the Dragons&#8221; (龙的传人), and had received great responses.</p>
<p>His most noticeable attempt on the traditional-pop mixing was in 2004 with album &#8220;Shangri-La&#8221;, which he incorporated Chinese aboriginal music into mainstream hip hop (he calls it &#8216;chinked-out&#8217;).  LeeHom researched into the tribal songs and sounds in China, Tibet, and Mongolia; and travelled to remote villages to get the up-close experience.</p>
<p>LeeHom made his acting debut in 2000 with &#8220;China Strike Force&#8221;, starring alongside Hong Kong star Aaron Kwok and Japanese actress Norika Fujiwara.  LeeHom took the leading role in  &#8220;The Avenging Fist&#8221; the following year.  Both movies had achieved decent box office success, but LeeHom&#8217;s acting was not highly rated.</p>
<p>LeeHom starred in another 2 Japanese movies, &#8220;Moon Child&#8221; (2002) and &#8220;Starlit High Noon&#8221; (2005) before surprisingly landed a role in &#8220;Lust, Caution&#8221;, directed by Oscar winning director Ang Lee; the film was released in September 2007).</p>

<p><strong>Daniel Henney Profile</strong></p>
<p>Name:  Daniel Phillip Henney<br />
Korean name:  다니엘 헤니<br />
DOB:  November 28, 1979<br />
Birth place:  Carson City, Michigan, USA<br />
Height:  188cm<br />
Profession:  Actor and model</p>
<p><strong>Daniel Henney Biography</strong></p>
<p>Daniel&#8217;s father is an American of British (some say Irish) descent while her mother an American of Korean descent.  He was a basketball player and attended colleges on scholarship; and admitted into University of Illinois at Chicago.</p>
<p>Daniel didn&#8217;t graduate from university though; he decided to quit his study and ventured into modelling in 2001 instead.  He started modelling in Korea as well as some other Asian and European countries.</p>
<p>Daniel was already an established supermodel before making his acting debut in 2005&#8230; first in some cameo roles for &#8220;Hello Franceska&#8221;, before making his full debut with &#8220;My Lovely Sam Soon&#8221; the same year.</p>
<p>Sam Soon is the most popular Korean drama in 2005; although Daniel was starring as the supporting actor, his performance (and look) was widely notice.</p>
<p>Daniel then starred in another decent drama &#8220;Spring Waltz&#8221; in 2006; he also made his movie debut &#8220;Seducing Mr Perfect&#8221; but the movie didn&#8217;t perform very well on box office.  His 2nd movie &#8220;My Father&#8221; (2007) did much better though.</p>
<p>Seducing Mr Perfect however revealed another of Daniel&#8217;s talent&#8230; singing.  He sang the ending theme song together with Alex from boyband Clazziquai.  I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if Daniel managed to ink a recording deal and releases his album soon.</p>

<p><strong>Rain Biography</strong></p>
<p>Rain started his entertainment career in teenage with boyband Fanclub, but the group didn&#8217;t achieve good results and was disbanded.</p>
<p>Rain didn&#8217;t want to give up on his music career, and went for lots of auditions before being accepted as a trainee with JYP Entertainment.  Rain worked as a backup dancer while learning the skills to become a pop star under the guidance of his singer-boss Park Jin-young.</p>
<p><span id="more-285"></span>Rain made his solo debut in 2002 with album &#8220;Bad Guy&#8221; by using his stage name &#8216;Rain&#8221;.  The album was a hit and Rain was rising in fame.  It was also in 2002 that he made his acting debut in TV drama &#8220;Orange&#8221;.</p>
<p>Rain released his 2nd album, &#8220;How to Avoid the Sun&#8221; in 2003, which was a great hit as well.</p>
<p>Rain&#8217;s international breakthrough came in 2004 with popular drama &#8220;Full House&#8221;, co-starring famous Korean actress Song Hye-kyo.  The drama achieved great ratings not just in Korea, but across Asia as well&#8230;  making Rain an Asia superstar</p>
<p>Following his international fame, Rain held a concert tour in 2005 in Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and ended in New York in early 2006.  His exposure in USA has gained notice from Times magazine, which named him as one of the &#8220;100 Most Influential People Who Shape Our World&#8221; for 2006.</p>
<p>Rain made his movie debut in 2006 with &#8220;I&#8217;m a Cyborg, But That&#8217;s OK&#8221; (co-starring Im Soo-jung)  Rain&#8217;s performance was well received by critics, but the movie was a box office disappointment.</p>
<p>Rain started his 2nd world tour later in 2006.  The tour started well in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Australia etc. before facing problems in Shanghai; the Shanghai concert has to be postponed indefinitely due to unpredicted circumstances.</p>
<p>Rain&#8217;s real trouble however, was in USA and Canada.  5 concerts were planned initially but all of the concerts have to been cancelled for various issues.  The worst case happened in Los Angeles where the concert was cancelled just hours before its schedule.  Rain and his agencies are currently facing lawsuit from Hawaii&#8217;s local promoter over various accusations for cancelling the tour.</p>
<p>Rain is currently filming his Hollywood debut movie, &#8220;Speedracer&#8221; using the name Ji Hoon Jung.  He is not the main character but is playing as supporting role instead.</p>
