		<description>Anything YEH does is alright by me.  I&#039;m happy for her that she&#039;s taking some time to do something she enjoys as so many of us are waiting with bated breath for her next screen appearence. (Small screen please.  Movies are too short and I&#039;ll take 20 hours of YEH over an hour and a half anyday!)

Both Rain and Han Ji Hye seem to get a large amount of negative press which tends to have no effect, whatsoever, on either one&#039;s popularity.  That HJH is currently starring in the top rated KDrama and Rain continues to sell tickets wherever he is indicitive of the fact that nobody really gives a rat&#039;s behind what many celebrities do and are in private as long as they can deliver the goods for the audience.  Besides, putting one&#039;s faith in the accuracy of press reports and interpreting a person&#039;s intent or morality from a few short words or reported events is a fool&#039;s folly.  The press always wins regardless of who ends up looking good or bad.  

Although the fact that she&#039;s gorgeous and I&#039;m a guy probably disqualifies me from anything meaningful on the subject of Miss Han!</description>

		<description>In her modeling work, Han Ji Hye spares no modesty in the tilt of her long posture and her eyes are direct, if not blunt.  The essence of Korean beauty is pride,  and Ji Hye conveys that beautifully in her photos.

As an actress, though, her talent is for snarkiness.  Condescending, critical, sneering, self-centered, passive aggressive, if her character needs to deliver a guilt trip, she&#039;s sure to make you believe it&#039;s absolutely your fault.  And that&#039;s a real talent -- it means she can hold onto an emotion and make it stick.

I&#039;d love to see Eun Hye do a music drama project.  She and Kang Ji Hwan would make the silliest pair ever in a musical!</description>

		<description>hmm, maybe han jihye felt they should preempt any possible &#039;scandals&#039; or the partygirl tag, which could resurface should they become famous? then again, there&#039;s no mistaking the egotistical tone in what she said. cuz what&#039;s the point of going to parties if you&#039;re only hanging out with yourselves? it&#039;s like, they&#039;d just want to be seen, that&#039;s it. rather vain, as someone already said. 

aw, poor lee seung gi.</description>

		<description>Im really sad if LSG decides to stop his broadcast activities. I really enjoyed watching him on the 1 night 2 days segment. He was realyl quirky and fun. I wish he didnt. Maybe this will prolong Iljimae even more? I hope its not gonna happen.

Well, I sorta figured HJH was not all that she seemed the really cute girl next door type they played her out to be. Something was wrong for me, plus that whole act when LDG and her broke up was not not classy if you ask me.</description>

		<description>Rain is the talk these days. In Feb alone you posted, like, 4/5 posts about/relating to him....XD I guess the Olympics are sort of a way to show off national pride? But the Olympics are suppose to bring nations together, and though I have no qualms about the country being on spotlight (which it will be) I personally think it&#039;s okay for other countries to pitch in a bit. EXCESSIVE pride (vanity/ego) are never ever good. So, first they criticized him for singing, now they criticize him for NOT singing? Anyway, the request was just for one lousy song. It shouldn&#039;t make such an impact, considering that it would&#039;ve only been on air for a few minutes while Rain has loads of interviews each day. They probably wouldn&#039;t have liked to hear him sing...And how is a simple decline on singing such a &quot;dishonor&quot;?

Han Ji Hye&#039;s comments are definitely showing her vanity. Being proud/confident of yourself is one thing. Thinking too much of yourself and putting others off by it is another.</description>
