[non BYJ] moon sori had a miscarriage

just came from japanese fan FLARE's blog.

hmmm... sad news.

remember moon sori? yea, she acted as kiha in TWSSG. she got married some four years ago, and apparently she got pregnant this april. unfortunately, she suffered a miscarriage the third month into her pregnancy. she's now resting and recuperating at home.


hope she's fine.

sometimes the mental distraught and stress brought about by a miscarriage is more painful than the physical pain.

want to read back the old stories about this mighty talented actress and wuri yong joon? yea, she's the one he had asked to address him as hyung (a term that's usually reserved for guys to address their older brothers)... anyway, click HERE to read more.

okie... LA...?

don't want to mislead anyone, but an anonymous person has left a comment on my blog.

she's shared that the keyeast ceo has said that wuri yong joon is in LA now.

shrugs... maybe... but i also had info that he had some business to do in hawaii. then again, he's been in the states for quite some days now, for all we know, perhaps he has gone to both places...? anyway, guess it doesn't really matter which state he's in (unless you're actually in one of these places and are trying to stalk him, keke!)

i really hope to see him 'back to work' again.... and yea, i know he thinks and he says he's been working everyday, but i mean working on dramas or movies. me wanna see him on the screen, big or small ^^

have a fantabulous week ahead, ladies!

BYJ recognized for special achievement

Bae Yong Joon and ‘1N2D’ Did Not Attend
Award Ceremony of The Stars of the Korean Tourism

2010-07-08 17:30:31


On the eight of July, around 4:40 pm, The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism held the award ceremony of ‘2010 The Stars of The Korean Tourism’ at the Lotte Hotel at Joongu Sogongdong in Seoul

Actor Bae Yong Joon and ‘1N2D’ team of KBS 2TV ‘Happy Sunday’ were chosen as award winners of the achievement sector in the special category, but they didn’t attend the award ceremony.

Currently, Bae Yong Joon is in the United States because of his 13 day schedule in the United States (suehan: I’m not clear on this part. Either he is scheduled to stay for 13days or he is scheduled for something on the 13th), and CEO Shin Pil Soon of Keyeast accepted the award on his behalf.

The team of ‘1N2D’ didn’t attend the award ceremony due to their inside affairs as well.

‘The Stars of The Korean Tourism’ selected the contributors who worked for the development of tourism last year for a total of 10 categories by the on-line voting from the public and the evaluation of specialists after they were recommended.//on-line news team


ps. me wanna take the chance to thank suehan for her tireless effort in bringing us translation of news about wuri yong joon.

it ain't an easy job doing translation, and it ain't an easy job doing this over a long period of time. me thinks we bae fans are kindda blessed to have kind souls such as joanne (quilt) and suehan, and of course, all the others who had and/or are still helping the overseas fans connect with YJ better.

peeps like youngsun, water/soil, gaulsan... and of course, style, and also some of the japanese sisters like tomato, cloud nine, mariko, etc etc etc. can't name 'em all, and can't thank 'em enough.

pps. and oh, believe suehan had said he's in LA.

believe he's in the states alright,

but not LA if i'm not wrong ^^

YJ is a tree...

i had a rather peculiar feeling as i read this particular post that our dear suehan has kindly shared.

since a loooooong time ago, it's so long that i can't even remember when it all started, but i reckon it must have been at least twenty years ago...? i've always had a thing for trees. i can't explain why, but i just like them. especially those tall, towering, strong ones with a crop of widespread branches and leaves in lustrous green, holding up like a big umbrella.

somehow, have always been somewhat fascinated by trees. perhaps this is also why i love the stretch of read leading to our changi airport. the tree-lined road... just lovely.

so when i read this, and learnt about how wuri yong joon had uttered about how a particular tree looked like him, there was a strange feeling inside me. it's strange how life works in such strange ways. is everything connected after all? could it be that our subconscious works in even deeper ways than we'd give 'em credit for...? does my mind actually draw parallels and similarities between (my perception of ) trees and him?

shrugs. maybe i'm just reading too much into things, or thinking too much. and that's not me... i ain't the sort to go philosophical on things, and i ain't one to dwell long on issues and stuff. so hehe, let's just go on ahead and let me repost this particular piece from suehan ^^

Visiting The Tea Expert, Mr Shin Kwang Soo


Original in Japanese: YASAI's blog
Translated into English: suehan

suehan: I'm just roughly translating the stories that are related to BYJ.


The tea expert, Mr. Shin Kwang Soo who appears on page 195 of BYJ's book, "The Journey to Discover the Beauty of Korea."


it takes almost 2 hours from the airport to go to a tea expert--Mr. Shin.


We arrived at his house around 4:30 in the afternoon. As soon as we arrived, Mr. Shin took us to his tea field in the mountains.He drove us himself.


He was driving the truck he uses every day for work. On one side, there is a sharp cliff. But when BYJ and his staff visited Mr. Shin, BYJ's Land Rover followed his truck. Later we heard, according to BYJ's staff, BYJ was very expressive while driving on this cliff.



In sight is a pine tree.As BYJ saw this tree, he proclaimed, "That tree is like me."



After coming back from the tea field, BYJ and Mr. Shin enjoyed conversation together over 23 cups of tea for about six hours.

YJ for dream high

reposted from DRAMABEANS


Dream High scheduled for winter premiere
July 10th, 2010 // by javabeans



Dream High is the name of a drama project that has been in the works for a while now, and after stalling a bit in the planning stages, it is finally now a go for KBS. The project drew some early buzz for the big names behind its production, namely Keyeast (Bae Yong-joon’s company), JYP Entertainment (Park Jin-young’s company), and CJ Media.

The drama takes place at an arts high school and features students pursuing dancing, singing, and acting. Not terribly unlike the university-based What’s Up or, to a lesser extent, The Musical. I wouldn’t say that all these dramas are copying each other because they’ve all been in planning for so long — and they’re hardly the first that take this theme — but I do think there’s something of a zeitgeist that has them all coming out in the same season. It’ll be interesting to see how they compare with each other.

According to the chief of KBS’s drama department, they decided in a meeting to air Dream High at the end of the year or early next year. Next up, they’ll be holding open auditions and heading into production. The drama plans to cast both actors and idol-group members, as well as new faces.
