Singer/actor Eric will be marking his return with a primetime drama at the end of the year. Currently serving as a public service officer, Eric will be discharged from military service on 22 October, and prior to his discharge he has already been receiving love calls from drama productions. According to an insider, Eric has received 7-8 offers from drama productions with broadcast dates ranging from the end of this year to early next year, proving that his popularity from before his enlistment has remained fairly intact.
Among these drama productions, there are about two in particular with a greater chance of him appearing in. One of them is apparently a drama written by a popular writer, and has become a hot topic for discussion even before it’s aired. The insider said, “He’ll make a decision soon as to whether or not he will take up the role in the drama, as filming is scheduled to start upon his discharge. Eric may be able to greet the viewers in a role very well-suited to him by the end of November.”
Eric will resume acting activities as well as music activities upon his discharge. During this period of time while he has been serving his military duty, he has been working on materials for his album. As fellow Shinhwa members Lee Minwoo, Junjin, Kim Dongwan and Andy are still in military service now, group activities seem unlikely for now thus he has plans to work on his solo album first.
The insider elaborated, “He often meets up with the Shinhwa members to talk about his solo album and they talk a lot about Shinhwa as well. Eric has been rapping for Shinhwa, and his solo album will also have a hip-hop feel and a strong character to it.”
Prior to his enlistment in October 2008, Eric had established himself as an actor with dramas such as “Phoenix”, “Que Sera Sera” and “Super Rookie”.

Although Kim Hyun Joong has a busy schedule, fans were surprised to see him with a very tired face, especially on television!
Netizens have been going crazy over several snapshots from a recent episode of MBC’s Playful Kiss. In the snapshots, the usually glowing face of Hyun Joong has been replaced by dull eyes, dark circles and a slight mustache.
A few comments that were made about his “changed appearance” stated, “The drama recording must be very hard. You even grew a mustache.”, “He seems sleepy and super tired.”, and “Kim Hyun Joong fighting!”
On another note, don’t the pictures make him look like a total copy of Bae Yong Jun?

MC Mong, once famous in Korea for his charm and musical talent, has now become a name synonymous with the words, “coward” and “contemptible”. The artist was slammed with the accusation that he intentionally extracted a sizeable amount of teeth in order to be exempt from mandatory military service. Even the police became involved when they launched their own investigation to examine the matter. And now, there’s a new chapter to this controversial saga – based on their findings, Korean law enforcement agents have declared that they will book MC Mong.
Leading the investigation, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency stated on the 17th, “For his career in the entertainment business, Shin Dong Hyun (MC Mong) falsified reports and removed four teeth to qualify for the dental disability exemption from the military draft. Shin Dong Hyun, his agency’s CEO, and his military broker will be brought into police custody“.
The SMP Agency revealed, “Shin Dong Hyun received qualifying examinations on August 1998 but paid the military enlistment broker approximately twenty two thousand dollars to accept his illegitimate “W Engineer School” certificate. He also incorporated various excuses, such as oversea activities and civilian tests to avoid the draft 5 times, for a total of 422 days of military exemption.”
Following up, “Because he scored above the necessary minimum score of 63 for the dental disability, he removed two extra molars in CheongNamDong Mo Dentistry. By holding out on dental treatment until the reexamination of disability test, he deteriorated his gum and dentals“.
The investigation was litigated by leaked information on MC Mong’s falsified records. MC Mong recently denied all allegations and proclaiming that his name is free of scandal.
