Hanneebuff — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 03:36:55 +0000

Kpop star Rain (Bi) is coming to Manila for a one day concert on September 11, 2010 at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

Let me hear the fans scream!!!

Rain became popular due to the Korean drama Full House which was shown here in the Philippines. He also starred in the Hollywood movie Ninja Assassin which was shown November last year. He went back to Korea last April to promote his mini-album titled Back to Basic which include the singles “Love Song” and “Hip Song”.

Hallyudorama’s 5-second encounter with Kim Hyun Joong

Mytor — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:06:26 +0000

Ji Hoo in da hauz!

Hallyudorama was able to drop by Broadway Centrum today to see Kim Hyun Joong in the flesh. I’ll try my best to give you the details since the experience was a bit of a blur to me.

This morning Hanneebuff and I were given permission by our wonderful bosses to see Hyun Joong and give in to our inner fangirl. And so I packed my bag and brought one of my BOF albums with me, just in case we’re allowed to get his autograph.

We arrived at the Broadway Centrum before 12nn. Everyone was busy preparing for Eat Bulaga’s live show where Hyun Joong was to make an appearance.

But before that, GMA-7 reporter Nelson Canlas was given a chance for a one-on-one interview with Hyun Joong. So there we were, waiting for Hyun Joong for about an hour. We were told that they won’t allow any picture taking or autograph signing but I took Hanneebuff’s camera nonetheless. But just our luck, her camera’s battery was low. Good thing her friend brought along a small digital camera.

We knew that Hyun Joong was already in the building because huge, burly men lined up near the holding area.

And then he came, clad in his Ji Hoo attire. I immediately noticed how nice his skin was though I’m not sure if it’s the make-up. Hanneebuff thinks it’s BB Cream, lol. We immediately entered the room where he will be interviewed. However, there were just too many people so we were asked to step outside. I was only able to take one shot.

Maybe it’s because I did’t have any breakfast or maybe I was just starstruck but my photo taking skill sucked. Or maybe I was just intimidated by how many people were telling us not to take photos, hehe. Well, better than nothing at all.

We waited outside while Nelson did the interview. He was given only five minutes and about three questions because of Hyun Joong’s tight schedule. Don’t forget to watch 24 Oras tonight for the exclusive one-on-one interview.

Meanwhile here are some tidbits…Nelson asked Hyun Joong about his ideal girl and what he thinks about the Philippines. When the interview ended, he asked Hyun Joong for an autograph and Hyun Joong was gracious enough to sign a photo, owned by Hanneebuff’s friend, even though his interpreter was telling him not to. He also personally handed the autographed photo to Nelson, while bowing and stuff. What a nice guy.

And that was our five or was it ten seconds encounter with Kim Hyun Joong. At least now I can say I was in the same room as Ji Hoo!

P.S.
After his Eat Bulaga appearance, Hyun Joong and Beast had a press conference at Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Kim Hyun Joong has landed

Mytor — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 09:16:37 +0000

Yup, that's his departure card. Don't ask how we got it. We have our sources, teehee..

He’s here! Yup, Kim Hyun Joong a.k.a Yoon Ji Hoo of Boys Over Flowers and leader of the Korean boyband SS501 is now in Manila. He arrived this morning for a one night concert with the Korean pop group Beast, entitled “K-Pop Meets P-Pop Beast Live in Manila,” at the Araneta Coliseum on Saturday.

For die-hard fans, here are some tidbits about Hyun Joong’s arrival. Our Hallyudorama friend who was able to see him told us that Hyun Joong really has great skin and that he looks even prettier (pretty being the operative word) in person. He was also very gracious to those who went to see him at the airport. Our source also told us that Hyun Joong apparently forgot to bring a pair of shades. He was supposed to borrow one but his stylist decided to buy a pair at the duty free store. Be sure to catch 24 Oras tonight to see Kim Hyun Joong and his new pair of shades.

Aside from the concert on Saturday, Hyun Joong will be in Abreska for an event tomorrow. He will also appear in several entertainment programs on GMA-7. On Saturday Sunday, he will fly to Cebu.

Hallyudorama will be bringing you more details about Hyun Joong and Beast in Manila. Stay tuned!

Guess who are in a soccer team?

Hanneebuff — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 20:02:29 +0000

Five good-looking and talented young men from the Korean entertainment industry recently formed a celebrity soccer team. Can you guess who they are?

(L-R) TVXQ's Junsu, Jaejoong and Yoochun

It’s TVXQ’s Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun with SS501′s Kim Hyun Joong and BOF’s Kim Bum who is more popularly known as Yi Jung. These guys came together to form the soccer team that they named as “Men.”

(L-R) BOF's Min Ho, Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, Kim Joon

Although Junsu and Hyun Joong were planning the team since last year, it was only two months ago that the team was finalized with Junsu as the first captain to lead “Men.” It is a well-known fact that Junsu loves soccer so much and is very good in playing it that he even considered becoming professional soccer player. Meanwhile, we’ve already seen Hyun Joong and Kim Bum play the sport in episode 21 of Boys Over Flowers. As for Jaejoong and Yoochun, I’ve seen them play futsal (a version of soccer) in All About DBSK 3.

The team submitted their application to participate in the 2010 Peace Star Cup Celebrities’ Football League but it was rejected because it was already pass the deadline.

Creating a celebrity sports team is not a new phenomenon in Korea. In 2006, Hallyu stars Jang Dong Gun (All About Eve), Hyun Bin (My Name is Kim Sam Soon), Gong Yoo (Coffee Prince) and Ji Jin Hee (Jewel in the Palace) formed a baseball team that they named “Playboys.” Junsu, Jaejoong and Yoochun also played in 2006 with fellow TVXQ members Jung Yunho and Shin Changmin as part of the soccer team of SM Entertainment.

Writer’s Note: Is this a good team or what? I can’t say how they will perform on soccer matches because even though I know Junsu to be a very good player, there’s Jaejoong who is known as the non-competitive one (fans please don’t brick me, he’s my favorite tvxq member). I’m surprised that Kim Bum is in this team since he’s not associated with TVXQ but then again, he’s friends with Kim Hyun Joong who is a close friend of Jaejoong. One thing is for sure though, this team is full of eye candy. I bet a lot of fans will be watching whenever they play. hahaha! With the World Cup in South Africa starting this June, I can totally imagine them cheering for the Red Devils.

FT Island sings in Showtime

Hanneebuff — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 04:27:02 +0000

Korean boy group FT Island performed in ABS-CBN’s Showtime yesterday much to the delight of their screaming fans. The band performed the song Still/As Ever from the original sound track of the Korean drama You’re Beautiful (S/He’s Beautiful, 미남이시네요) where their lead singer, Lee Hongki, played the character of Jeremy who is the drummer of the faux group A.N.Jell. After singing, Lee Hongki said “Jolie” in his Jeremy voice. Now, how cute is that?!? Mytor and I actually screamed when we heard him while we were at the office.

Afterwards, Jaejin invited the fans to watch their showcase today (March 6) at the PICC which will start at 6:00pm. Hong Ki also encouraged the fans to watch You’re Beautiful which will be airing soon and said, “Mahal ko kayo” (I love you all) at the end.

Watch out for our fan account of the concert later. For now, here’s the video of FT Island’s performance courtesy of eytcetera.
