Talk King-Yunho

 Maybe if he is not a singer, he would be a great prosecutor or lawyer -thanks to his great ability of narrating a scenario or story.For his fans, it is a part of his charm as the great leader of TVXQ especially to me.He has lots of qualities that any girl or woman will go for- smart, sensible fashion style, charming, kind, funny, protective,charismatic...gosh its all add up to his tall and handsome appearance.I've watch most of talk shows and he is indeed very prowess with words he is using to drag the viewers to join his journey of his experience or matters he wants to discuss.His communication skills with elders and youngsters also something that I always like about him- excellent PR skills.....So recently he was invited to comeback for Strong Heart-Kang Ho Dong's show with Lee Seung Gi and voila..here's the story:

Yunho’s long-awaited nude beach story has finally been revealed!

On the 7th, SBS’s ‘Strong Heart‘ invited back many of the past ‘Strong Heart’ champs from the last year and nine months to pick out the best ‘Talk King’ of the stars.

TVXQ’s Yunho started out the show with a placard that read, “Bora Bora nude scene.” He shared,“When TVXQ were rookies, we went to the Bora Bora islands to film our music video for ‘Hi Ya Ya Summer Days‘… The beach and scenery was so lovely that it looked like a scene from a movie… We played with the stingrays in the ocean and also partook in water polo. At that time, we were so full of youth and excitement that we put all our focus into the game and our swimsuit bottoms slowly came off.”

His confession surprised his fellow cast members on the set but he continued on, saying, “However, we were told that shooting for the video would begin immediately. The staff members were heading towards us on the beach and because there were female staff members present, none of us got out of the water. We were just watching them from inside the water. Because we were embarrassed to tell the staff the truth, we told them, ‘We’re in an important match right now. Can you just wait a little?’ to delay and buy some time. The problem was we couldn’t figure out which floating swimming briefs belonged to which member. In time, we eventually wore our own swimming briefs and ended this incident.”

However, their adventures in Bora Bora didn’t end there.

Yunho added this tidbit, “That isn’t the end of the story… Right outside the doors of our hotel, you can go swimming. Even the floors were made of glass so you could see the ocean underneath. The building was such that if you look up from the ocean, you can see into the hotel room.”

Yunho also shared the group’s little mischievous adventure.

He said, “Since we were at a resort, it was full of newlyweds. As it got dark, our curiosity arose. We all thought, ‘Let’s have a special experience this once,’ and went swimming in the ocean. We started peeking into other people’s room from the ocean and saw various couples kissing… We went from room to room as if it were a world tour. Let’s just say some of the things I saw that night, I’m taking it to my grave.”

Who knew that the members of TVXQ were such peeping toms?!

TOP of the TOP

  My mood for today is talking about Tabi! As i was  reading thru allkpop news for the day, my eyes immediately captured the pleading look in TOP's eye in one of the news.What can I say, those same eyes with numerous of emotions potrayed in his dramas and movies never fail to be captured by my own eyes.I've always been proud with acting achievement though I've always knew he has a a lot more to offer other than as a superstar rapper of Big Bang.He who potrayed the tough and wild rapper on stage is actually so dorky behind the scenes.Thus , TOP being on the TOP spot of the one with highest potential future as an actor can only describe one word for me- PERFECT!

So here's the news , courtesy of AllKpop:

Big Bang’s TOP was rated to have the best current acting career as well as the one with the highest potential in his future as an actor amongst idols in the acting scene.

Three major broadcasting company directors (MBC, SBS, and KBS) along with 7 professionals were surveyed to rate the 11 idols that have been featured in dramas or movies in the past2 years. Idols were rated for their ‘acting career up to date’ and ‘potential for growth’; TOP was rated the highest of everyone, averaging 7.6 and 8.0 out of 10, respectively. Professionals praised that “[TOP's] sharp and bold image is appealing” (Ahn Hyuk Mo) and also advised that “it is time for [TOP] to broaden his acting career” (Huh Woong). TOP starred in the movie “‘71: Into the Fire”, winning the Best Male Rookie Actor award at the prestigious 47th Baeksang Arts Awards.

Following TOP, JYJ’s Park Yoochun placed 2nd scoring 7.0 and 7.7, and 2PM’s Ok Taecyeon placed 3rd scoring 6.6 and 7.6. Park Yoochun debuted in the acting scene through “Sungkyunkwan Scandal”  and followed through in MBC’s all-new-series “Miss Ripley“, whereas Ok Taecyeon debuted through “Cinderella’s Sister” and followed that up by starring as a lead role in “Dream High”.

Reviewers commented about Park Yoochun saying that “he needs to keep his dry smoothness” (Yoon Suk Jin) and that “he shows a potential in melodrama” (Lee Daeyoung). Concerning Ok Taecyeon, reviewers stated that he is “serious [about acting] and has that star quality, but because of his busy schedule he lacks the time to put that much effort into acting” (Lee Moon Won).

Amongst female idols, T-Ara’s Ham Eunjung who was also featured in “Dream High” received the highest score. Eunjung received a 6.3 in ‘acting career up to date’, placing 4th, but she placed 5th in ‘potential for growth’ with a score of 6.4. She was criticized, “her strong point is her everyday, next door type appearance, but she needs to gain experience” (Ahn Hyuk Mo).

T-Ara’s Jiyeon placed 7th in ‘acting career up to date’ but tied at 6th with CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwain ‘potential for growth’. Kara’s Goo Hara who is currently acting in SBS’s “City Hunter” scored the lowest in both categories. Professionals coldly criticized that “she needs to escape the shade of being an idol” (Yoon Suk Jin) and that “she is better fit as a singer” (Ahn Hyuk Mo).

Afterschool’s UEE placed 10th in ‘acting career up to date’ and tied with Goo Hara for 10th in ‘potential for growth’. She received criticisms that “she fits the current trend, but ultimately will fall behind” (Ko Young Tak) and that “she needs serious consideration in what else she could show other than her healthy appeal” (Huh Woong).

Kim Hyun Joong of SS501, who received big spotlights as one of the top upcoming Hallyu Stars through his roles in “Boys Before Flowers” and “Playful Kiss” tied for 5th in ‘acting career up to date’ with Super Junior’s Choi Siwon, but fell to 9th place in ‘potential for growth’. Kim Hyun Joong received harsh criticisms from the reviewers that “he needs more stable acting to receive lead roles” (Ko Young Tak) and “the fact he sells despite his downside was his strength, but even that is becoming blurry now” (Lee Moon Won).

Choi Siwon, who placed 5th in ‘acting career up to date’ and higher as 4th in ‘potential for growth’, received criticism that although his acting is somewhat stable, he is trapped in his roles within his handsome appearance.

There are mainly three routes in which idols enter their acting career.

First, the historical drama route: Fin.K.L’s Sung Yuri in “Thousand Years Love”, JYJ’s Park Yoochun in “Sungkyunkwan Scandal”, and Afterschool’s UEE as young Misil in “Queen Seon Duk”. Historical dramas carry a specific tone for lines, and the recent rise of fusion-historical dramas make it easy for rookie actors and actresses to pull lines off. Historical dramas, rather than trendy dramas, also give the impression that the idol actors/actresses are taking acting more seriously.

Second, the musician role route: Jung Yonghwa of CNBLUE and Lee Hong Ki of FT Island in “You’re Beautiful” along with Miss A Suzy in “Dream High” are typical cases. Idols can showcase their talent and act naturally. In MBC’s “Fall In Love” which will air its first episode on the 29th of June, Jung Yonghwa will play the lead role as a college student who is majoring guitar in music school.

Lastly, debuting outside of Korea using their international popularity. Kara’s Goo Hara debuted as an actress in “UraKara” in Japan and then recently kicked off her acting career in Korea in SBS’s “City Hunter”. Super Junior’s Donghae will debut in acting with a lead role in Taiwan through “Glamorous Challenge”, set to start sometime this year. MBC’s “Playful Kiss” in which Kim Hyun Joong was featured in had very low ratings in Korea, but it went on out to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and many other countries to gross a total of approximately 4 million dollars.

a tragic misfortune of my Dae Dae

 Adjusting my life with long distance relationship was not easy plus piles of work waiting on my desk making me the 'ignorant so called k-pop fan'.Yet today, i found a little bit of time to peek into the stories of my beloved k-pop world and it was shocking!!!.Daesung involved in an accident and someone died.It took me about for an hour to search and read thru the news update on him.from what I read and analyzed( can't help it-born to be an analyzer) - Kang Dae Sung was oblivious with the accident from beginning so it had a tremendous impact on him-
 1) the trauma of the accident itself - facing it alone is a total nightmare
 2) the shock of being investigated by police and the attack of  the press(I can imagined the non stop attack of the camera's speedlights- will initiated 1001 questions and feeling guilty in him eventhough he was not guilty)
3)the thought of causing someone's death can be killing for any normal human being.

  I'm kinda angry when the police dept.released an official statement saying DaeDae had sped at 80km/h on the fateful night- and the rest of the statement somehow trying 'to frame' this young celebrity as the culprit of the whole situation.GRRRRR- i wish i can strangle the stupid brain!.I felt so bad for Daesung cause all VIP knows- Daesung has a soft heart and even sometimes can chickened out on little scary things(which the very reason why i love him-pure innocence heart).Earlier on, his fave noonna- Hyori did expressed her concerned on Daesung's state of emotion since she knew him better.I wish daesung can brave himself to get thru this misery and walk out from this as a wiser and strong person.
 I'm also thankful to Mr.TaxiMan for his bravery and tell the truth from his side as the sole witness of the accident.So here's the Q&A from 'Dispatch" courtesy of All KPop:

Amidst the many speculations that are taking place following Daesung’s car accident, Dispatchreceived the opportunity of interviewing the sole witness, taxi driver Kim (45), at the hospital.

Although he’s still being treated from the accident, Kim emphasized, “I have to correct everything that’s being wrongly reported.”

Various rumors arose after it was discovered that the motorcyclist’s vehicle was in decent condition, and therefore the rider couldn’t have been involved in an accident prior to his collision with Daesung. Kim, on the other hand, stated, “Hyun (the motorcyclist) was bleeding very much already. I think that there definitely was a very big accident that occurred before ours.”

Check out the full interview below.

–

Q. “At this time, the motorcyclist has deceased and the attention is now being focused on whether his death was caused by Daesung’s collision or not.”

Kim: “Daesung is also a victim in this case. It seems that the motorcyclist already received much injury from a previous accident. He was discovered 30m away from his motorcycle and you could tell how bad his condition was with the naked eye. There was a lot of blood where he was laying and his head was also bleeding profusely. Maybe its because of the shock from the impact, but his helmet was also nowhere to be seen. The police later discovered it, and, it too, was badly damaged.”

Q. “You checked for the condition of the motorcyclist but Daesung was unable to. Eventually, he passed Hyun and collided with the taxi.”

Kim: “There is a reason why Daesung could not have avoided Hyun. There was another car in front of Daesung. To put it simply, I put up my emergency lights after discovering the motorcyclist and stopping on the road. Just before I was about to call the police, another car discovered Hyun and swerved to the next lane. The car following him was Daesung’s. Although the first car was able to swerve and avoid an accident, I don’t think Daesung could see what was going on. Usually, when the first car swerves, the car behind it can’t catch what he’s swerving away from. Daesung was in that exact situation.”

Q. “Daesung testified that he did not see the motorcyclist.”

Kim: “Daesung did not know of the motorcyclist at all. He only knew once I told him that there was a person on the road. The car in front of him had swerved away so he didn’t have time to check at the scene.”

Q. “Daesung is currently being questioned for speeding and negligent driving.”

Kim: “I think he was within the 60km/h limit because the car in front of him was not speeding. This was what I observed with the room mirror in the taxi. They say that he was speeding at 80km/h during the investigations, but I feel that’s the speed he was at when he collided with the taxi.”

Q. “No skid marks were discovered at the scene. Does that mean his car only stopped after it collided with the taxi?”

Kim: “In my personal opinion, I think he accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. There should have been skid marks, but there are none. Even after the collision, the taxi was pushed out 30m from where it was originally standing. If it was pushed to that extent, it means he did not brake. Even during the collision, I don’t think he braked, and it was most probably because he was nervous and shocked that he accidentally pressed the accelerator.”

Q. “Then if he wasn’t able to see the motorcyclist at the time of the accident, did he check afterwards?”

Kim: “Daesung did not have a chance to. Within 2 minutes of the accident, police arrived and he was taken for investigations. He did not know that there was a person at the time of the accident so I don’t think he knew to check. He only knew that there was a collision with the taxi. Immediately afterwards, a representative of his agency arrived, and he, too, did not see the motorcyclist.”

Q. “Did he look shocked?”

Kim: “There was so much going on. There was an accident and a victim was revealed. Within 10 minutes, journalists swarmed in. Since he’s a young celebrity, I think he was shocked. Even while being investigated by the police, his hands were shaking.”

Q. “The taxi was severely destroyed. Just looking at the taxi, you must have also been severely injured. How are you right now?”

Kim: “In comparison to the taxi being destroyed, I was not that injured. I think it was because I sensed an accident and prepared for it. The hospital said that I didn’t break anything, but I am receiving physical therapy for my shoulders, back, and neck.”

Q. “If Daesung is found to be unrelated to the death of the motorcyclist, that leaves only the issue of his collision with the taxi. The compromise will be important.”

Kim: “Daesung’s side has not begun a compromise yet. I have not received contact from them and we did not exchange business cards at the time. I do not want to reach a compromise at this moment, as I feel that the accident being reported truthfully is more important.”

Q. “As the sole witness, how do you feel?”

Kim: “It’s very disappointing. It was poor driving for him to not be able to see the motorcyclist and drive over him, but the situation is becoming severe in that there’s also the issue of a preceding accident and it’s unclear as to who caused it. This is why I mustered the courage to say something.”
