Kim Hyun Joong has announced his departure from the variety program “Barefoot Friends.”
On October 31, Key East reps spoke with TV Report and said, “Due to scheduling conflicts with Kim Hyun Joong’s drama, he will need to step down from SBS’ ‘Barefoot Friends.’ He recently finished his last filming for the show.”

In order to film for the upcoming KBS drama, “Age of Feeling” (or “Inspiring Generation“), Kim Hyun Joong will be leaving for China in November so it would be hard for him to film “Barefoot Friends” at the same time. After discussing it with the variety show’s production team, it was decided that he would drop out.

Key East also added, “The filming for ‘Barefoot Friends’ that took place on October 27 was Kim Hyun Joong’s last one,” and “He is preparing to show better sides of himself through the upcoming drama.”

Meanwhile, it is reported that Kim Hyun Joong’s successor for “Barefoot Friends” has not yet been decided.

Kdrama Stars With A Past Dramatic Enough For A Kdrama Plot

A few kdrama stars have lived through experiences that would not seem out of place in a kdrama plot.
 
For example, singer and actor Kim Hyun Joong's younger years resemble the plot of a musical kdrama like "Shut Up Flower Boy Band." Kim Hyun Joong, who starred in "Boys Over Flowers" and "Playful Kiss," had a happy childhood but he wound up dropping out of high school to pursue his dream of becoming a musician.
 
His family told him that it was his choice but he would have to support himself so he trained as a musician and worked late at night, delivering pizza and working at a fried chicken store. But he did not spend all the money he earned on himself. When his brother was about to drop out of school for lack of funds, Kim gave him enough money so that he could continue. His parents were shocked he managed to save so much money. No one can dispute that he became a success but he does not see that path working out for everyone.
 
 
"Maybe a lot of students want to imitate my case, but I don't want them to be like me," said Kim. I want them to find a way to study as well as practice."
 
Despite his grueling schedule of dancing for seven hours a day, recording for five hours a day and exercising for two hours a day and getting only a few hours of sleep, he did eventually return to school. He will soon appear in the drama "Inspiring Generation."
 
An even more poignant example is singer Rain, the star of "Full House." He doesn't like to talk about his childhood much but he was very poor growing up, so poor, the family often did not have enough to eat. His mother was sick with diabetes and they did not have enough money for medicine. At one point they were about to become homeless when a kindhearted relative took them in.
 



Rain always knew he wanted to sing and dance and having that dream made it easier to endure the many hardships he faced. Being looked down on by so many people made him even more determined to succeed. He danced for hours every day and kept going to auditions where he was rejected because he was not considered attractive enough. Sadly, his mom died before she ever got to see him achieve his dream.
 
Not only has he achieved success beyond his wildest dreams but despite his rough childhood, friends say he has grown up to be a nice guy.
 



Actress Lee Ji Ah, who will soon appear in "The Woman Who Married Thrice," had the kind of secret marriage that would be hard to believe even in a melodrama. She was not just secretly married for nine years but she was married to a celebrity, Seo Taiji of the legendary k-pop group Seo Taiji and the Boys. The story of their marriage broke when Lee and her "Athena: Goddess of War" co-star Jung Woo Sung were photographed in Paris. Shortly after she admitted they were romantically involved, it was reported that Lee Ji Ah was married. Although Lee and her husband had not lived together for years, their marriage was finally dissolved in July 2011.

COUCH KIMCHI: Kim Ji Suk Falls for Jung So Min in...


 “YOU CAME TO ME AND BECAME A STAR”

100

I haven’t been ignoring KBS’s upcoming drama special You Came to Me and Became a Star.  I have been quietly following updates on it, especially because it’s Jung So Min‘s new project since Can We Get Married?  It partners her with Wonderful Mama‘s Kim Ji Suk, so, that has increased my interest in the show.

The first time the two artists stepped foot on the same set was on Lee Dong Wook‘s debut episode of Strong Heart, and I thought at the time that she had great chemistry with Ji Suk’s bud and fellow guest Lee Jin Wook.  She acted with him in a short, improvisational skit that elicited impressed reactions and laughter from other guest celebrities.  Now, here she is, and her pair-up with Ji Suk isn’t too bad either. (I’ve always maintained that she looks good with just about anyone.)


You Came to Me and Became a Star will follow the ups and downs of tenants at a gosiwon/gositel.  The story will primarily focus on Kim Ji Suk’s Kang Seok, a school teacher, and Jung So Min’s Ha Jin, an employee at a toy company.  Based on the stills and the preview (with the beautiful music), they will find romance—or at least, an emotional affinity—with each other amidst their personal struggles.


The special will be airing November 3rd on KBS.

♥ DramaFever News: The 10 hottest KDrama kisses ♥




by Eleni Choephel on Wed, Oct 23, 2013


DramaFever published a list of the "10 Hottest KDrama Kisses" and Playful Kiss made it to # 4.  

Woohoo... it's been 3 yrs but PK is still making noise.  

Congratulations, Playful Kiss - Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min!  




4. Pouring Rain Kiss (Playful Kiss)







When Jung So Min is stopped mid-sentence because Kim Hyun Joong drops the umbrella and goes in for the kiss, leaving the two drenched in the pouring rain, my feels could not have been contained. Ask my college roommate, she wasn't having my spazzing at all.

K-pop's SS501 Together Again on Stage at Young Saeng's Solo Concert, Proper Send Off Before Military Enlistment

The group shows their solidarity in this recent performance as a team

With Heo Young Saeng departing for the military on the 31st and wrapping up his promotion activities for his final song before enlisting,  SS501 bands together to send him off.
 
During his first and farewell concert, '2013 Heo Young Saeng Seoul Concert 0513 My Story', Heo Young Saeng's group, SS501, appeared on the stage for a short performance. It has been three years since the band has embarked on their solo activities.  The group never disbanded officially and even said continued statements that they are still a group, despite having solo careers. The appearance of Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Kyu Jong, Park Jung Min and Kim Hyung Jun showed the band's tried-and-tested friendship.
 
Their performance last night at the UNIQLO AX Hall was their first time to perform together as a group again after three years.  It was really memorable for the Triple S who attended the concert.  The group's last album as a group was released in May 2010, 'Destination', which had a short promotion run due to their contracts expiring. 
 
Before Young Saeng's October comeback, leader Kim Hyun Joong was the most recent to have had a comeback with 'Round 3'.  Kim Hyung Jun also released a digital single in August, in collaboration with Sunny Hill.  Kim Kyu Jong is currently also enlisted in the military, serving as a public worker.  Park Jung Min has also been busy with solo activities, with more focus on his Japanese endeavors.
 
In June, four members minus Hyun Joong, filmed a special anniversary video for what would have been their 8th year as group.  While Kim Hyun Joong wasn't in the video, he still showed his support by mentioning his time with SS501 and their anniversary during a solo concert on the same day.
 
The continued strength and friendship of the members behind the scenes is both a moment of pride and comfort for Triple S who always believe in the group's solidarity.  Maybe the group's labelmate KARA can follow in their footsteps, in the pending contract expiration cycle coming up.
