News bites: December 20

by javabeans

• Check out the new poster for the Jeon Ji Hyun–Hwang Jung Min movie The Man Who Was Superman, photo above.
• End-of-the-year awards ceremonies are approaching, and KBS has selected Lee Da Hae as its MC, along with Tak Jae Hoon.



• Don’t drink and drive. Actress Hwang Bora (24, to right) learned that the hard way when she was arrested for driving under the influence despite claims of only drinking one glass of wine. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, perhaps you’ll remember her as Yoorin’s goofy best friend in My Girl. She was also in the Nonstop series Rainbow Romance and Lawyers.
• Cable channel Mnet just had its M Countdown Christmas-themed concert, featuring mostly artists I don’t care about, like Super Junior, SG Wannabe, Seeya, and Girls Generation, and some I do, like FT Island, Dynamic Duo, and Lee Soo Young.
• Chun Jung Myung is busy cramming in as much Hansel & Gretel promotion while preparing for his upcoming January 2 military service enlistment, which starts even earlier than Gong Yoo’s on January 14. Sob.
• Actress Han Ji Hye, girlfriend of actor Lee Dong Gun, has released photos of herself with her older sister and younger brother online.

SONG OF THE DAY

Lucite Tokki – “비오는 날” (Rainy day). Lucite Tokki is an awesome new indie band from the Pastel Music label, with a similar sound to (similarly awesome) labelmates Love & Pop, Fanny Fink and Misty Blue. [ zShare download ]
