- Tablo addressed erroneous rumors that he’s retiring from the music biz by posting a message on his homepage: “I’m not retiring.” He’s not happy with the state of the industry and its focus on singles over albums, but he assures his fans, “I’ll make music forever.”
- Ha Jiwon was invited to the New Zealand embassy in Seoul to welcome Prime Minister Helen Clark on the 15th. She’s been active in promoting films from New Zealand in Korea, and vice versa (Korean films in NZ). She also films her next movie in New Zealand at the end of the year.
- First it was a Girls Generation song (sung here); now figure skater Kim Yuna says she’ll be performing Jewelry’s “ET dance” next, using their chart-topping hit “One More Time” (song here) in one of her skating routines at the KCC Switzen Festa on Ice. Maybe she just really wants to be a pop star.
- MBC’s popular variety show We Got Married has brought several stars into the limelight, including Shinhwa’s Andy, dubbed “top husband material.” But did you know he’d already gone on a formal “seon” (marriage set-up date) years ago at the tender age of 25? His mother tricked him into going, saying it was merely dinner with a friend, but when he showed up the woman was there with a “young girl” — and the mothers quickly got up and left the couple behind.
- And with SBS gearing up to launch two new series, the promotion blitz sure is kicking in. All of a sudden, everything is about Iljimae (Lee Junki, Han Hyo Joo) and Gourmet (Kim Rae Won, Nam Sang Mi). Seriously, Lee Junki is everywhere.

Ha Ji Won looks gorgeous there. And for some reason, the New Zealand Prime Minister looks like one of those cardboard cutouts.
Ha Ji Won is absolutely stunning. Andy is really adorable on “We got Married” I do hope him and solbi go out for real.
@ whalelatape: i was thinking the same thing
not to be disrespectful to the NZPM, but i find a lot of times baegin ajummas look like men O_o
Gaaawwwwd! New Zealand sure has one ugly Prime Minister…
^LMAO!
that’s so mean! lol
I don’t mind Lee Jun Ki being everywhere….hahaha
As a kiwi I agree, we do have an ugly prime minister.
I love New Zealand and Ha Ji Won.
What’s her next project? I miss her.
hurrah tablo! glad he’s still gonna go on making music. though frankly i never doubted that he will really stop ^_^ he really takes the issues to heart though
What she should of chosen was “tell me” and perform some of those dance moves on the ice! Thatd be quite the spectacle. Either way, I’m gonna look out for her performance since its probably the first ice routine with a kpop song i’ll hear
yep Helen no beauty but you would not want to mess with her, one tough lady.
Be nice to see more K movies in the video store here in NZ.
