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.

Besides “You and Me” the official theme song, there are a dozen of two other theme songs that are endorsed by the Beijing Games organiser. I have shared “Beijing Welcomes You” and “Olympics in Beijing” previously; here are a few more that’s worth mentioning…
Sun Nan & Zhang Hui Mei - Forever Friends
“Forever Friends” (永远的朋友), composed by Italian composer Giorgio Moroder and Chinese pianist Kong Xiangdong. The English lyrics are helped by Michael Kunze, while Chinese lyrics by Huang Xiaosheng.
This is my favourite candidate for the official theme song. Moroder, having wrote the popular “Hand in Hand” (theme song for Seoul Olympics 1988), certainly understand what makes a good theme song. It might not be the nicest song among all, but I think it’s the best that fits the occasion.
Sharing here is the Chinese version sang by Chinese singer Sun Nan and Taiwanese star Zhang Hui Mei; the English version is sang by Sun Nan and Hong Kong singer Coco Lee…
