News bites: January 21

Goong S‘s Heo Yi-jae (“little Kim Tae Hee”) has been cast as Oh Ji Ho’s love interest in the upcoming drama Single Papa in Love. Yikes, that makes me nervous for both of them.
While doing press for her upcoming film The Chaser, actress Park Hyo Joo of the cable “Chosun CSI” show Chosun Police (and spunky agent Im Yewon from Air City) admitted in an interview that she suffers from a rare spinal condition, congenital spondylolysis (a defect in the lower lumbar vertebra). She was diagnosed in high school and had to give up her lifelong dreams of being a ballerina. Thankfully her condition doesn’t get in the way of her current career; her film opens on Valentine’s Day.
Speaking of ballerinas, pop vocal group CSJH The Grace‘s arguably most popular member, Stephanie, is dressing up as a ballerina (her previous artistic endeavor, prior to becoming a singer) in Project “S,” a mobile-content photo collection she shot in Singapore this past December. Already a two-minute video clip of Stephanie showing her ballet moves is available at the video portal tvpot.daum.net (or watch the video below):

And Lee Bo Young opens a new film and fights old rumors. She’s promoting her first starring film role in Once Upon a Time, which sounds like some kind of period crime caper hybrid (she’s in search of a stolen 3,000 carat diamond and teams with a master thief, played by Park Yong Woo), which opens at the end of January. Meanwhile, she’s still denying rumors that sprung up last year that she was seeing soccer star Park Ji Sung — gossip even placed her in England, supposedly visiting him there — but she insists they’ve never even met.

SONG OF THE DAY

CSJH The Grace – “Dancing Queen.” Because who couldn’t use a little ABBA on a Monday?

Hmmm...Oh Ji Ho and Heo Yijae? What is she going to play - the teenage nanny?

Is it just me, or does it sound like someone's beep/beat(?)-boxing to the song? Classic ABBA's better. But thanks, anyways, it's just the song for a Monday (even if I do have the day off) cuz it's gloomy and raining outside.

I just noticed, did you change the style/font of the comments? Looks good, I'm just not used to it yet.

I think I just lost any interest I had in that drama.... XD
And I doubt anyone would argue with you...Stephanie IS the most popular member thanks to all of those variety show appearances. Now that I think about it, I don't even know who the other members are!

And have I told you how much I love these news bites? :D

Ouch. Heo Yi Jae and Oh Ji Ho, I can only pray for the best. As adorable as HYJ is, she still has a long long way to go before she can be labeled as good. Oh Ji Ho, as hot as he is, I'm not sure his acting skills are gonna be enough to cover for himself, let alone for the both of them. Of course that doesn't account the obvious, the age difference. Too weird. HYJ looks okay as the kids' nanny, but mommy? Umm..

yikes... damn.. i was soooo looking forward to it, but now that i know she's casted in the series, im a bit skeptical. I was hoping that this series would be Oh Ji Ho's breakthrough... but im not too sure now since she's in it. I hope for the best, and hopefully they'll prove everyone wrong with an outstanding performance! GO OH JI HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Please don't let it turn out like "Bad Love"

Heo Yi Jae's acting was good in Sunflower with KRW and she got an award for this movie at PIFF. I can't wait for her new role with Zio..
