F4 on SMAPxSMAP

F4 in SMAPxSMAP

Remember when we told you about F4′s appearance on the Japanese talk show SMAPxSMAP?

Well, the episode, which was shot during the cast’s promotional visit to Japan, has just been shown recently. Its original airing date was cancelled following Tsuyoshi Kusanagi’s arrest for suspicion of public indecency. He was actually caught naked and drunk in a park (What’s up with these Japanese men and their booze? :-) ). For those who aren’t into J-pop, Kusanagi is a member of the famous Japanese idol group SMAP whose members host the talk show. All the shows featuring Kusanagi were taken off the air for a while, thus the F4 episode was cancelled. After issuing a public apology, Kusanagi has returned to television and apparently they decided to air the F4 episode last Monday.

Goo Hye Sun’s Art Exhibit

F2 and Jandi

Goo Hye Sun, who played the role of Geum Jan Di in Boys Over Flowers is a multi-talented artist. Aside from acting, she dabbles on singing, piano-playing, composing, directing, novel writing and drawing. Talk about real talent!

After exhibiting her short film “Cheerful Caretaker” in the recent Busan Short Film Festival where she won the audience award, Hye Sun is back, this time taking the role of an artist by having her first art exhibit in Seoul’s Lamer Gallery.

The drawings were mostly used in her novel Tango. I’ve read that the proceeds from this exhibit will go to charity so kudos to Hye Sun for giving back. :-)

Surprisingly, Lee Min Ho and Kim Joon came to support Hye Sun during the opening of her exhibit. Wow. Now I’m extremely jealous. Some people have all the talent and cute guys to boot!
