One more romance for the rumor mill: Lee Byung Hoon and Kim Min Hee (Love Marriage). Both their agencies denied any romance between the two. These rumors came up due to a very sizzling photo shoot for a children’s charity in Vogue magazine. The spread’s concept was “Love Actually.”

Really? Aren’t they actors that pretend they’re in love anyways?

Lee Byung Hoon’s younger sister Lee Eun Hee is getting married in November! The former Miss Korea and child actress is marrying her boyfriend of about 4 years. She used to be in the entertainment industry but took a backseat. Now she’s becoming more and more noticeable due to her brother’s fame, and works as a broadcaster now.

The date hasn’t been set yet, and her brother’s filming schedule will be taken into consideration (as he’s going to be in “G.I. Joe 2″).

I don’t think they look anything alike – in fact, she looks mixed!

Dayuuum – Amuro Namie is hot! The full MV was finally released, and the song is really catchy. More catchy than I thought it would be. After School definitely makes a good impression for their Japanese debut, which will officially be in June.

Why I Like ATHENA More Than IRIS…

So far.

I definitely do enjoy Athena better than Iris, but I am starting to understand the appeal of Iris. I think it helps that as I’m watching Athena, my mom is watching Iris, and therefore I’m kinda reliving the series through her.

But I still stand by my original dislike opinion for the predecessor (save for Kim! So! Yeon!). My thoughts on Athena might change within the last five episodes or so, and those last five episodes may make me start hating on it or absolutely loving it.

Until then, the opinions I form are based on the 15 episodes of Athena that I have seen so far. That also means, spoilers are bound to pop up.

OH MY GOD. I am just catching up on My Princess. Episode 4. First ten minutes. I’m dying. Literally. I want to laugh my head off but I can’t for the sake of the sleeping inhabitants in my house. I die. It’s not like the jokes are new or fresh, and it’s been done before. However, the situations never fail to crack me up, and the acting from Song Seung Hoon and Kim Tae Hee are spot on. Plus, put Jung Suk Yong anywhere and he’ll make the drama five times better.

I hope it keeps it up.

EDIT: LOL – I put up 1/12/10 as the date, but that would make this post a year late! Hehe.

Hyun Bin is crazy – in a good way. He signed up for the Marine Corps to fulfill his military duty. For him to volunteer for the Marine Corps is apparently a big deal because most actors just serve in the army. To be in the Marine Corps means that he’s going in hard core. It’s so crazy it’s admirable (I mean, would you volunteer for a harder experience when you don’t have to?) Before he leaves – which could be as early as March if he passed his interview – he will release two films. One is “Late Autumn”, which he starred alongside Tang Wei and it took place in Seattle, and the other is “Love Me, Love Me Not” with Im Soo Jung.
