Popular Korean actor Ko Soo got married on February 17. Plenty of celebrity guests, including Lee Byung-hun (who emcee’d the event), Han Chae-young, Jo Hyun-jae, Jung Suk-won, Han Hyo-joo, Jung Woo-sung, Ji Sung, Gummy, Bae Soo-bin & Park Jung-ah etc. The groom decided to keep his non-celeb bride in private though.
A 2008 MV by Korean singer RUN. Decent song, but what interested me is the guest stars in the music video; his boss must have spent some good money (or goodwill) to make it happened…
The four actresses are members from popular Korean girl groups, i.e. Jung-ah from Jewelry, Sunye from Wonder Girls, Ga-in from Brown Eyed Girls, and Taeyeon from Girls’ Generation. The ladies look gorgeous in the music video; though in reality you can hardly find a girl who cries with such elegance.
Korean MV for One More Time by pop group Jewelry. The song is super hit in Korea at the moment, topping KBS Music Bank show for six weeks and dominating other charts as well. Their ET dance is also becoming a pop culture phenomenon.
One More Time is the main track for Kitchi Island, Jewelry’s 5th album and their first since 2005. Two new members (Baby-J & Eunjung) are introduced to fill the spots left by Jo Min-ah and Lee Ji-yun. The group was formed in 2001; Park Jung-ah is the only original member left; the other member, Seo In-young, joined in 2002.
The song is a remake of Italian singer In-Grid’s Encore Un Fois. Quite catchy, but I can’t understand how it managed to become THAT popular. Love Park Jung-ah’s new hairstyle though, makes her look mature and sexy.
Korean photographer Cho Seihon has unveiled his fifth Letter from Angels photography collection which features top Korean stars in bid to raise awareness and support for domestic adoptions. Among the celebrities who participated in this photo shoot are Han Hye-jin, married couple Hong Eun-hee & Yoo Joon-sang, Jang Hyuk, Joo Ji-hoon, Kim Jung-eun, Lee Mi-yeon, Park Jung-ah, Yoon Eun-hye, and the Wonder Girls…
