Korea’s 13th Pusan International Film Festival (PIFF) opened last Thursday (Oct 2) and will run until October 10. The opening ceremony of the event was marred by the suicide news of Choi Jin-shil that early morning, but the show must go on.

Korean pop star BoA’s American debut song “Eat You Up” is leaked on MySpace. The song was uploaded on a MySpace account, but I believe that it’s not an official account for a few reasons.
The major clue is that the account cited BoA is from Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) instead of Republic of Korea (South Korea). Well, it’s either a fake account, or the webmaster of BoA’s online campaign deserves a big smack.
Anyhow, it seems like SM Entertainment is not making much noise about it… testing the online responses perhaps? Update - the full music video is out.
Korean actress Choi Jin-shil was found dead in her home in Seocho, Seoul, early this morning (Oct 2). The 40-year-old star hung herself in her bathroom; her body was discovered by her mother at around 6.15am.

Magazine scan of upcoming Korean movie “Antique”, directed by Min Gyu-dong and starring Korean heartthrobs Joo Ji-hoon, Kim Jae-wook, Choi Ji-ho and Yoo Ah-in etc.
The movie is adapted from popular Japanese manga “Antique Bakery” by Fumi Yoshinaga, which is about the life four men working in a small bakery.
Joo Ji-hoon is starring as the bakery owner and a genius salesman, Kim Jae-wook a talented patissier, Choi Ji-ho as JJH’s bodyguard, and Yoo Ah-in a boxer turn assistant pattissier.
Korean actor So Ji-sup was at a promotional event at Millennium Seoul Hilton hotel to promote Sony Alpha DSLR cameras as the product spokesperson.
I am using one of the Alpha models… mine is A350 while the one SJS was holding should be the high-end A900, which is probably 4-5 times more expensive than mine.
So Ji-sup is publicly known as a photography enthusiast; he often shared his photo-work on his website, but registration is required to check the photos.
