Kim Jeong Hoon: Still Believe (5 Stellar)

Apparently, a fan used the scene shots from Fog Street to make this MV. I like this song. The girl looks a bit old for Hoon in some shots. However, Hoon still looks as good and charming as ever.

Snow Queen:雪之女王 13-7

Ah! They are finally together. Super romantic. I must say that Hyun Bin is super handsome. Terrible, I am so madly in love with him. Hahaha!

Snow Queen 雪之女王 12-5

I felt my stomach churning and tears just rolled down as I watched this clip. It is really a very good show.

Snow Queen: 雪之女王 12-3

Oh my goodness! Hyun Bin's acting again I must say this...is simply superb. When Bora told him that she had met his brother's friend, his shocked expression was so natural.
After watching 4 of Hyun Bin's show... Millionaire's First Love, My Lovely Samsoon, Ireland and now Snow Queen, my only conclusion is that Hyun Bin has the looks and the acting skills. To me, he is now number 1 in acting.

Ireland

I must say that other than Hyun Bin, this show is simply lousy.
The first two episode were really good. It was well-planned and shot. The storyline was captivating. However, beyond episode 10, it became really draggy. The ending was really lame. I am regretting spending that money. I should have saved it up.
A few things I like about the show:
1. In episode 1, Hyun Bin appeared as a cool but warm-hearted bodyguard. He was gentle and of course handsome.
2. In episode 2, Hyun Bin fell in love with the girl and whatever he did was really so charming.
I have just repeated the show for these two episode. Yet to go to number 3. There were some comical parts in the show. However, they were rare.

The storyline:
1. Gal called Qiong Er was adopted by this Irish couple. She came back to Korea because her Irish parents and brother were killed. She witnessed the killing and denied knowing them in front of the killers to save her own life. She bore the guilt and was mentally sick and hospitalised for a year. She came back to Korea to find peace.
2. Qiong Er met Jiang Guo (Hyun Bin) in the plane. Hence, started their romance. Hyun Bin pitied her mental condition and decided to protect her.
3. Qiong Er and Jiang Guo got married.
4. Love triangle started after Qiong Er met Caifu. Jiang Guo was hurt by it but maintained that Qiong Er was only lost for the moment. He treasured and honored marriage. Basically, he was charming throughout the show.
5. The show dragged on and on between Qiong Er, Caifu and Jiang Guo. Then came that Caifu could be Qiong Er's brother. However, DNA test proved otherwise. Hence, their love triangle went on and on.
6. Caifu was cohabiting with another gal who was a porn star. However, later left her. That gal then fell in love with Jiang Guo because he was protecting her as a bodyguard.
7. While protecting that gal, Jiang Guo fell in love with her without realising. He was still persistent in keeping his marriage. To him, Qiong Er was his only love.
8. The show dragged on and on. Qiong Er got pregnant. Caifu met an accident and became lame, and left Qiong Er. Caifu came back and left again.
9. Jiang Guo finally realised that his idea of love was very different from Qiong Er and decided to let her go. They got divorced amiably.
10. Ending of the show: I don't know. It just showed Qiong Er and Jiang Guo becoming friends and awaiting for the arrival of their child. As for that gal, Jiang Guo professed his love for her. Caifu? Ending showed him carrying a child version of Qiong Er. Jiang Guo greeting the child version of the gal. That gal talking to the child version of Jiang Guo. Qiong Er greeting the child version of Caifu. The end. Lame ending.

Overall, I like Hyun Bin's acting and image in the show. No wonder he is so popular in Korea after this show. Wholesome image, respects marriage, protects the weak, sensitive and cute. In the show, he was deemed as handsome or beautiful. Fantastic image. He won the best newcomer in 2004 with this show. I am not surprised. Good acting and handsome. What do you expect?

If you think in Samsoon, he was charming, try watching Ireland. Ireland was his earlier drama. After watching it, I realised many charming actions, facial expressions, and smiles were the repeats of his character in Ireland.

I will post some parts of Ireland here once I am done with Snow Queen.

After this show, I realise that Hyun Bin is an actor on his own. His looks is just a bonus.

I hope to see more of him in future.

12/26/06

Ireland

I admit that I am now a huge huge fan of Hyun Bin. I don't like shows that make me cry that much. However, I am in love with Snow Queen.
Today, I actually bought Hyun Bin's Ireland. Aw! How madly in love I am with him that I actually bought a show of 16 episode of crying...
Anyway, I am looking forward to watching it.
Tata!
I shall start watching after this entry.

More Hyun Bin's Pictures in Snow Queen

I can't help it, can I?


I saw this picture of Hyun Bin in Hyun Bin's Baidu Fan Forum.

I grabbed it. I don't know who the owner is. I presume it is KBS as it is well-taken and from the Snow Queen show. Whoever dares to say Hyun Bin oppa looks ugly in the show, I will bash the person up.

He looks so so so good. It is just a different look from My Lovely Samsoon. He is still as handsome. Not those clean-shaven, suave look, just cool and rogue look.

KBS Drama Award 2006

KBS Drama Award 2006 is going to be held on 31st December. Hyun Bin is running for 2 awards, Best Couple and Popular Character.


He is leading in terms of online votes. However, I wonder if other component will be added.
Anyway, I think fans from all over the world are voting for him because his votes are way above the rest. His fan base is really broad in terms of nationality.
He has fans in HK, Japan, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore. Amazing.

Kim Jeong Hoon has fans all over the world too. I wonder who has a broader fan base.

Translator Online

I found this interesting online translator. I can copy the text in Korean and get the translator to change it to English. It is a word for word translation. Hence, you must know the sentence structure of Korean language to get the meaning of it. To learn the structure, you can go to the website mentioned in my previous post.
Interesting life I am having now. I am thinking of taking a formal Korean language course. However, time is the main constraint that I will be having once school starts. I don't know if I should go for the Saturday course or evening course.
I will think about it. Anyway, the Saturday course starts in March. I can decide by then.

Learn Korean

Again, I woke up at 6 a.m. Finding nothing much to do, I surfed the net. Decided to see if there is a course to learn Korean.
I found this site: Learn Korean. In this site, I can learn han-guk characters. Some words and sentence structures. As there is no pronunciation, I just have to figure them out.
However, I can confirm some sounds of certain words.
chogi issoyo means "it exist over there", or "its over there"
Issoyo on its own can mean "I have/he has"
Opsoyo means "I dont have" or "I havent got"
When addressing a shop keeper or waiters, Koreans use ajossi literally meaning uncle, but is used as a general word when addressing someone in a shop.However if it were to be used in a formal way, it is only for the referral of a man.
For females the word ajumma meaning aunt is used, for people over 35-ish, and for younger woman agassi is used for young women.
Ottaeyo means is how
Kuraeyo literally means "it is like that"
Shillye Hamnida means excuse me.
Shillye Jima means I am sorry but...
Anieyo: Not
Kidariseyo: Please wait
Older Woman - 아주머니 - ajumni (aunt) [Polite]
Older Woman - 아줌마 - ajumma (auntie) [Less Polite]
Older Man - 아저씨 - ajussi (Uncle)
Elderly Woman - 할머니 - hal muh ni (Grandmother) [Polite]
Elderly Man - 할아버지 - hara buh ji (Grandpa) [Less Polite]
Father - 아버지 - ah buh ji
Father in law - 시아버지 - shi ah buh ji
Father in law - 장인어른 - jang in uh reun
Dad - 아빠 - appa [Informal]
Mum - 엄마 - umma
Mother - 어머니 - uh muh ni
Mother in law - 시어머니 - shi uh muh ni
Mother in law - 장모님 - jang mo nim

Older Sister - 언니 - unni (If the speaker is female)
Older Brother - 오빠 - oppa (If the speaker is female)
Older Sister - 누나 - nuna (If the speaker is male)
Older Brother - 형 - hyung (If the speaker is male)
Younger Sibling - 동생 - dong saeng (Regardless of speaker's gender)

Summary of The Snow Queen

I found this site . It gives very good summary and pictures of The Snow Queen in Mandarin. I am adding the link here as it has summary of other Korean shows too. :)
I am waiting for Episode 10 of The Snow Queen.
I am waiting for The Snow Queen to be on sale. Ah! I really don't mind watching it again and again. Hyun Bin's acting is really perfect.

Arirang TV Video on Demand

I found this Arirang TV VOD. I can learn Korean from one of the VODs, Let's Speak Korean. It is so cool.
Dae-in Man Dai Yo means Let's meet tomorrow.
Or jiea (sounds like orchard but chard is replaced with jiea) means yesterday.
O-ner (sounds like owner) means today.
Dae-in pah yo means See you tomorrow.
Ah neo in ka sayo means Please go in peace. Used when you say goodbye to people who are leaving.
Ah neo in kei sayo used when you are leaving the place.
Interesting.
Very good lessons.

Kim Jeong Hoon's Fan Club

What has this holiday done to me? I have been waking up at 3 a.m. for no apparent reason. With all the time in hand, I spend the time surfing the net, watching Snow Queen, Kim Jeong Hoon's MVs...
I was watching all the videos found at Kim Jeong Hoon's official fanclub "Only Hoon". I am quite impressed with Hoon's ability to sing. Most importantly, apart from his prince-like looks, he has a warm personality. He is quite humourous too. Even if you don't know Korean language, you can still look at his videos and photo at the website.

I have been surfing the net for anything on Kim Jeong Hoon and Hyun Bin. I will be adding new links here as and when I find them. This is for Hoon's and Hyun Bin's fans and myself. It is easy reference for myself. I can just come to my blog and go to wherever I want to go. Do come back to my blog because I will add new links. Leave a comment on the tagboard if you want me to put your blog link here.

Oh, Hyun Bin is 24 years old this year and Kim Jeong Hoon is 26 this year. However, Hoon looks younger than Hyun. In fact, Hyun looks as if he is already 29 years old. Hoon still looks 21.
Anyway, I think not being able to sing puts Hyun at a disadvantage. However, Hyun's looks will give him varied roles compare to Hoon.
Whatever it is, I am very sure I will have a lot of chances to see more of the two as they are getting really popular in Asia.
I am so crazy over them. Hehehe! Perhaps I am just bored because of the long holidays. Who knows.

A collection of scene shots pictures From Snow Queen

Hyun Bin's side profile is really nice. His chiselled face is really charming.

Snow Queen 姜成民 - 初雪愛 MV (雪之女王OST)

The Snow Queen OST MV with Chinese subtitle.
I love this show and Hyun Bin's acting in this show.

Snow Queen 雪之女王 9-7

The Snow Queen is really a worth watching show. It will get you really addicted. You will want to know what happen next all the time. Hyun Bin's acting in this show is superb. He looks good too. As you proceed on, he looks better and better.
Here, the girl, Bora, professed her love. Aw! It is just a fantastic show!

Snow Queen 雪之女王 9-1

I can't tell you how touching The Snow Queen is. You have to watch it yourself. The plot is really good. It is not the usual Korean soap drama whereby they make the love so forbidden. In The Snow Queen, I see a likelihood of them gaining acceptance and forgiveness. However, I guess the girl will die in the end because of her illness because of the beginning of episode 1. I will still watch because it is just too good to miss. I simply love Hyun Bin's acting in this show!

Kim Jeong Hoon or Kim Jung Hoon

I finally found the answer. It is Kim Jeong Hoon not Kim Jung Hoon. It is spelt as Kim Jeong Hoon on his Feeling CD. Mine is the original so it should be correct. Also, his official website spells it as Kim Jeong Hoon too.
Hence, from now on, I am going to spell it as Kim Jeong Hoon.
:)

Kim Jung Hoon's songs

I have added 2 songs by Kim Jung Hoon here on the right frame.
I have also added Howl & J's Aeng Mu Sae (the song in Goong that is not in the OST).
Just play it and enjoy.
:)
Point to note though, I prefer that you buy Kim's CD to support him. I have yet to get his Stella 5. I will get it by this week.

Kim Jung Hoon/Kim Jeong Hoon: Most Prince Like


Old news from KBS.


Actor Kim Jeong-hoon was named the “most prince-like Korean actor” in China.
The Chinese portal site Sohu.com said Thursday that Kim won 30.41 percent, or 6,217 votes, on a recent poll asking “Who is the most prince-like actor among Korean stars?” and took the top spot on the poll.
The portal site said that the poll result is attributable to Kim’s soft and elegant image reminiscent of a prince in a fairytale.
The Korean drama “Palace” starring Kim was recently carried on Hong Kong’s Star TV and on the Internet.
Actor Lee Jun-ki of the movie “King and the Clown” won 30.25 percent and came in a close second, followed by Bae Yong-jun with 29.88 percent and Ju Ji-hun, another male lead of the drama “Palace,” with 7.72 percent.
Meanwhile, fans of Lee were disappointed at the poll result, since Lee had held the lead until Wednesday, one day before the end of the poll.
Kim’s fans posted messages online endorsing the poll result and debating with Lee’s fans.


Teddy: I must say that I agree that Kim Jung Hoon is very prince like. He is smart, sings well and so adorable.

I have his UN days MV because of the Feeling album. Wow! He was round then but really cute. You can tell that he is naturally a cheerful and fun boy. :) This really show that he really acted well in Goong.

My prince : Hyun Bin



Posting some of Hyun Bin's earlier pictures. I think he is born a prince. In Snow Queen, he spotted a haggard look, but his chiselled face was still obvious. I love his eyes. They sure can talk.

:)

12/12/06

Kim Jung Hoon's Pictures





I must be fair, right? If I put Hyun Bin's, I must put Kim Jung Hoon's too.

By the way, Kim Jung Hoon's name is spelt as Kim Jeong Hoon on his Feelings album. Boy, he sure can sing. Going to buy his Japanese album soon.


Hyun Bin versus Kim Jung Hoon:

Hyun Bin has a more chiselled face. I love his face. I love his chin. I love his dimples. However, I don't like it when he smiles too widely.

Kim Jung Hoon on the other hand has a shorter face which makes him look younger and cuter.

Both of them have deep eyes that tell deep stories. This makes their acting more convincing. I like both of them because of their face and acting. Actually, what captivated me to Kim was his acting first. He was really good in Goong. As for Hyun, it was his face first. However, his acting in Snow Queen was really superb, A star acting.


Some pictures of Hyun Bin that I like






Actor Hyun Bin Becomes Top Hallyu Star in Japan

Old piece of news from KBS. Posting here for the same reason as previous.
The new-generation actor Hyun Bin will likely become the representative top-class hallyu star overseas. In December of last year, Hyun appeared as a cover model for the Hong Kong edition of the world-renowned men's magazine "Esquire," a first for a South Korean actor. This time, Hyun has recently become a top hallyu star in Japan, overtaking other South Korean celebrities. Hyun ranked first in the "Third Poll on Hallyu Stars" conducted on readers for the February issue of the "South Korean TV Drama Magazine" published by Kyodo News.
In the poll, Hyun was followed by Kwon Sang-woo, Bae Yong-joon and Lee Byung-heon, in that order. Other hallyu stars selected included Ryu Si-won, Song Seung-heon, Kim Rae-won, Park Yong-ha, So Ji-sup and Park Sin-yang.
Hyun's ranking in the poll has stunned all people concerned, as South Korean TV dramas he has acted in have never been aired by terrestrial networks in Hong Kong or Japan.
South Korean TV dramas are normally broadcast by cable TV networks in Japan ahead of terrestrial networks. Through KNTV, a fee-based channel in Japan, the drama "Ireland" aired from January through March of last year, and another drama "My Name Is Kim Sam-soon" from August through October of last year, winning great popularity there. After those dramas were broadcast, Hyun has attracted a growing number of Japanese female fans because of his handsome and gentle appearance.
Last year, "My Name Is Kim Sam-soon" was sold to Japan at the highest price for a South Korean TV drama. The film "Love Bottle," the first film Hyun ever acted in, was sold to Japan for 1.5 million dollars, foretelling his rise to the top spot as a hallyu star. The February issue of "South Korean TV Drama Magazine" features a story on "My Name Is Kim Sam-soon" in celebration of Hyun becoming the top hallyu star.
Sachiko Maruyama, the editor of this magazine which became famous for giving the title of "Yonsama" to Bae Yong-joon, said, "It is very exceptional that Hyun Bin has become the top hallyu star, although he has never appeared as a cover model for our magazine. Hyun will form a core of hallyu stars alongside Bae Yong-joon and Kwon Sang-woo in the future."
Hyun had a busy schedule last month to promote his film "Love Bottle." He is now taking a rest, while thinking of what film he should act in next.

Actor Kim Jung-hoon Seeks to Captivate Japanese Fans

News From KBS Global. Decided to put it here in case it gets deleted from the website after a while.
Actor Kim Jung-hoon, a former member of the male music group "UN," is expected to captivate the hearts of Japanese fans.
Kim, a former singer, has branched his career into acting, appearing in the popular MBC Wednesday-Thursday miniseries entitled "Palace" (written by In Eun-ah and directed by Hwang In-roe). On the back of his newfound popularity as an actor, he has planned to expand his scope of activities both as a singer and actor in Japan.
An official from Kim's agency said on Mar. 10, "Kim Jung-hoon will engage in lively activities in Japan. He will concurrently act as a singer and actor. Currently, he will act in a TV drama, as well as record an album, in Japan after 'Palace' comes to an end."
Export contracts for "Palace" have been signed with China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Negotiations are underway with Japan. If "Palace" begins airing in Asian countries, its actors and actresses, such as Kim, Yoon Eun-hye, Joo Ji-hoon and Song Ji-hyo, will likely make their name as new hallyu stars.

Kim Jeong Hun and Hyun Bin

I found this blog that showed pictures of Korean stars when they were young.

How can I miss out Kim Jeong Hun? Cute? He couldn't have gone for plastic surgery at such a young age, could he? He already has that eyes of his since young.


Next, of course my most charming Hyun Bin. Ah, born with chiselled face!

All these are found apparently here. I got it from elsewhere but the person gave credit to this website.

Snow Queen or Queen of Snow

I love Hyun Bin more and more as I watch the show! His acting is really superb. I find his acting in this show is 1000 times better than in My Lovely Samsoon or My Name is Kim Sam Soon.
Though he spots the similar style as Rain-Bi in another show, I think he carries it very well. His features are as nice. My goodness, I am totally charmed by him.
I think Snow Queen or Queen of Snow is a must watch.
I am going crazy over this show and Hyun Bin that I started this blog.
