Singer-turned-actress Eugene (Three Dads One Mom) recently took a trip to San Francisco with her younger sister, and in K-entertainer style, the vacation is being broadcast for a cable special called Living Beauty: Eugene’s Makeup Diary.

With makeup being a key theme, Eugene used cosmetics to style herself after some famous faces, including the actress Olivia Hussey, who played Juliet in the 1968 Zeffirelli film version, as Hussey is someone Eugene has sometimes been said to resemble. (She really does; see photo below.)

Following her last role in the KBS drama Women in the Sun, actress Kim Ji-soo has left for London, as these newly released photos show.

She’s filming the trip — her first in that city — for a two-part broadcast on the women’s lifestyle channel DongaTV, called Kim Ji-soo’s London Life, which airs her episodes on February 11 and 18.

As with many of these types of programs, the camera follows around the star as they browse and walk around the city. Case in point: Choi Kang-hee’s Six Addictions, Shin Mina’s French Diary, Go Ara’s Twenty-Year-Old Story, Kim Haneul’s Travel Diary in Italy.

It was announced last year that a Project Runway Korea was in the works, and now it’s all set to premiere on cable channel On Style this week. The program will air one episode every Friday at midnight, for a total of ten episodes.

Episode 1 was shown at a press preview on the 3rd, which showed similar format and sets to the American version. The competitive reality program features fourteen new designers and cuts one contender per week, with three finalists showing collections at Seoul Fashion Week in the spring.

Choi Kang-hee is known for her quirky image, both in acting style and fashion sense. Her fashion profile was raised since appearing in the drama My Sweet Seoul, where her character’s casual, boho-chic clothes spurred fashion trends among twenty- and thirty-something women.

Choi is showing more of her style sense in an upcoming cable program; she recently filmed a “real story” segment for O’live TV. The program takes the theme Choi Kang-hee’s Six Addictions and follows Choi around New York as she shops and browses. The segment is produced by O’live in conjunction with Korean apparel brand Eryn Brinie, which has just ventured into the U.S. market and whose store Choi toured while in New York.

Other celebrity fashion diaries featured in the past by O’live include Go Ara in Japan and Shin Mina in France.

My my, isn’t that a lovely picture of Park Ki-woong?

We last saw him in the romantic comedy series Love & Marriage, and now he’s got another drama lined up, this time for cable channel MBC Drama Net. On the 10th, the cast assembled at Dalmaji Park in Seoul for a ceremony to pray for good luck.

Not much info is available about the series, titled 서울무림전 (which translates roughly to Seoul Warrior Story), which is described as a martial-arts series. In it, Park Ki-woong and Jang Hee-jin (A Movie Is a Movie, Gangster High) clash and fight villains — she as a tomboyish martial-arts expert, he as a newbie with inherent skill but who must learn quickly as he goes from unemployed college grad to budding martial artist. I can’t quite figure out whether this is a fantasy-like action series or a realistic one (it takes place in the modern world).
