The latest Jeon Ji Hyun CF for Samsung Anycall’s HAPTIC.

I thought I had posted this two days ago. I need to get used to Wordpress 2.5!

This is Jeon Ji Hyun when she was 19. She’s now 29 (Korean age) and has been in entertainment for almost 11 years. She made her debut in 1997 as a model in a fashion magazine, Ecole.

Interpark internet shopping mall had an online poll during the summer break. It was about which entertainer do single and married people would like to go out with. I’m not Korean but I have the same choice as married Korean women who responded in the poll. Guess who? Anyway, 46% of single men would like to go out with Kim Tae Hee. No surprise there. She’s beauty and brains and rich :). 26% of single men chose Moon Geun Yeong and 24% opted for Lee Hyo Ri.

Amonng the single women who responded to the poll, 44% would like to date Bi (Rain), 34% voted for Jo In Sung and 17% wants Kwon Sang Woo.

Among married men, 39% likes Jeon Ji Hyun, 32% for Han Ga In, while Ok Ju Hyeon at 15%, and 14% for singer Jang Yun Jeong. 46% of the married women of Korea want to go out with Jang Dong Gun (ako rin!). Again, not surprising! 33% of ajummas (married women) chose MC (emcee) Kim Jae Dong, 14% Bae Yong Jun and 11% Lee Byung Hun.

About 20,301 responded to the poll which ran from July 30 until August 19th. I didn’t know about it but I would have voted Jang Dong Gun, naturally! Who do you choose?

who’s the korean with the most beautiful face? according to the nation’s top photographers, it is Kim Hye Soo… if you’re not familiar with her, that’s because she hasn’t been on television a lot… and as far as i know, she has not been on any drama shown in the philippines… but if you’ve been watching Arirang TV as early as six years ago, you might have caught her in a weekly dramedy (sorry i’ve forgotten the title but i used to watch this show) shown on that cable channel… as far as i can remember, she played a stewardess and an aunt to an jae wook and park chae rim (all about eve) in that show… following Kim Hye Soo on the list are Jeon Ji Hyun (My Sassy Girl, Windstruck, Il Mare), Lee Young Ae (Dae Jang Geum), Jeon Do Yeon (she’s the widow who Bae Yong Joon’s character seduced in Scandal), Lee Na Young (Please Teach Me English)…

Jang Dong Gun (as expected) possesses the most beautiful face among Korean men… Cha Seung Won (one of my favorites!), Jo In Sung (Nonstop, Memories in Bali), Hwang Jeong Min (Heavenly Soldiers) and Jeong Woo Sung (A Moment to Remember, Musa)…

the following is a complete list of korea’s most beautiful faces and links to their images…

I’m back from a very busy weekend… too busy in fact that I wasn’t able to open the computer for two days! Last Saturday, I went out with my girl friends to Namiseom (the small island where some scenes of “Winter Sonata” was shot, it was my second time there) and yesterday, I and my husband with my parents-in-law and aunt-in-law travelled north to Cheorwon (my third time! - it was occupied by North Korea before the Korean War).

Anyway, I guess everybody who reads the online English edition of Chosun Ilbo have seen the story on the sassy girl’s new movie. The title English title is “Daisy” and the Korean title is “Park Hee”, according to a showbiz news program I saw months ago (July). Actually, I didn’t know about it until I saw it on YTN Star. They were shooting a scene in the Netherlands and she was with Jung Woo Sung (one of my favorite Korean hunks!). What’s great about this movie is that it’s being directed by Wai Keung Lau, same director of the hit Hongkong police flick “Internal Affairs” (now being remade in Hollywood).
