OMONA THEY DIDN'T! Endless charms, endless possibilities ♥

Part 1:



When character Goo Joon-pyo first appeared in the drama "Boys Over Flowers", it caused quite a sensation. With a hairstyle that looked made him look like someone who had just jumped out of a comic book and strong facial features, Lee Min-ho seem familiar yet difficult to place.

Some say that Lee Min-ho "became a star overnight" as he became an A-lister after starring in "Boys Over Flowers." But he too had once been an aspiring actor who had been rejected at many auditions.

And after "Boys Over Flowers," he has been trying to set up a foundation for another take-off through MBC's Wednesday and Thursday evening drama "Personal Taste," co-starring actress Son Ye-jin. After appearing in five dramas and two movies in three years since making his debut, Lee Min-ho is now opening up about himself. "Lee Min-ho's Star Diary" will run in ten episodes. [Editor's Note]

These days, kpop idol's and celebrities are starting to make and use twitter accounts and reveals their identity and also to communicate to fans. SNSD however are not one of these celebrities.

On the 28th, SM Entertainment officially said through an interview, "All the nine girls as well as the group SNSD itself does not have a twitter neither are we operating a twitter account with the group's name SNSD, all the nine girl's twitter accounts are fake and they do not use and have accounts, I do not want fans to get confused".

Earlier, Rain, Lee Hyori and ss501 Kim Hyun Joong also were announced not operating twitter accounts.

This fake twitter accounts are quite alarming because it may damage the image of these idol's and may create scandal's with what fake twitter accounts claiming the names of the idol's are saying. The agency's hope these fake twitter accounts will be closed as soon as possible.

The Korean boy group, F.Cuz released their first Korean single, “Jiggy,” just a while back and in order to further promote their single, they have decided to release a Chinese version of it. The members studied their Chinese hard for three days in order to get the pronunciations right. They constantly repeated the phrases toward themselves without minding people around them: “The first time I met you, I went crazy and my heart beat non-stop,” “I want to hug you,” and other romantic phrases.

Bigger!

Early in his career, there was a time when Lee Min-ho was working under a stage name although not many people know about it.

"After I had finished shooting 'Secret Campus', I worked under a stage name for about two years I think because my real name Lee Min-ho seemed too ordinary. So I talked with the president of my agency and we decided to change my name. A lot of names came up, like very cheesy ones that sounded like comic book characters. Haha."

The name they had eventually agreed to use was 'Lee Min,' minus the "ho" from 'Lee Min-ho.' "The major reason I chose that name is because [Korean actor] Jung Woo-sung's character in the film 'Beat' was named Lee Min. It looked cool."

But after he changed his name to Lee Min, he got involved in a car accident and not working much when he was cast in the drama "Mackerel Run." "But when I looked up 'Lee Min' on the Internet, the only search word that would come up was 'overseas immigration' [the latter word in Korean has the same pronunciation as 'Lee Min']. So I thought I shouldn't use that name." And so he changed his name back to Lee Min-ho.

It has been reported that Epik High’s leader Tablo (real name: Lee Sun Woong) is pressing charges against a specific netizen “for defaming him by spreading false rumors.”

Seoul Mapo Police Station stated on the 28th, “Mr. Lee filed in his letter of complaint for requesting to press legal charges on a netizen who spread false rumors online. The rumors were suggesting that my academic backgrounds were all false.” To protect the reporter’s identity, the policeman only revealed that Mr. Lee was a celebrity of Canadian nationality who has reportedly graduated Stanford University.

According to the police, a netizen has repeatedly posted his claims online that he’s proved that Tablo was lying about his seemingly-flawless educational background all along. Netizens and fans alike were shocked to hear the story, as they were more than aware of Tablo’s Stanford history.

Apparently, that netizen couldn’t find the name Daniel Armand Lee under the list of Stanford graduates. He also predicted Tablo’s family will be ostracized from society, whereas his company will go bankrupt because of his unforgivable lie.

Foreign wives of Korean men will be barred from working at bars, room salons and other late-night entertainment establishments as part of government efforts to prevent the abuse of the nation’s international marriage system.

The government also plans to grant permanent resident status to musicians, artists and professional sports players living here for more than five years to attract foreign talents.

The Ministry of Justice Wednesday announced these and other changes to the country’s “Immigration Act” and submitted the revised bill to the National Assembly in the near future for approval.

It said it will ban foreign nationals tying the knot with Koreans from being hired by bars and other entertainment joints.

Foreign spouses of Korean nationals are granted F-2 visas.

I realize that fake marriages and prostitution are problems in SK, but isn't this a bit too excessive? Like if you were a bartender by profession and then married a Korean guy you couldn't apply for any bartender jobs in Korea. But yay for making life easier for foreign entertainers with this permanent resident deal!

Last week, netizens confirmed that idol groups 2PM and SNSD have joined forces for a CF for Everland Resorts Caribbean Bay Water Park with several fan pictures. Lucky for you, some screencaps have been released recently and is already turning a lot of heads!
