Cheering on runners in the Pink Ribbon Marathon
by javabeans
Stars Song Hye-gyo and Jang Dong-gun came out on October 12 in support of the “2008 Pink Ribbon Love Marathon” for breast-cancer prevention, cheering on participants and representing the event’s sponsor.
Approximately ten thousand pink-shirted citizens participated in the marathon with an enrollment fee of 10,000 won each (approximately ten dollars); the proceeds will be donated to the Korea Breast Cancer Foundation to promote early breast-cancer detection and raise awareness for the need to emphasize health screenings.
Song and Jang were present (wearing a decided lack of pink — her scarf looks pinkish, but just barely in the sea of pink surrounding them) as brand models for the cosmetic company Amore Pacific, a sponsor of the campaign.
The marathon has been held in other Korean cities earlier this year (kicking off in Busan in April, then Daejon in May, Gwangju in June, Daegu in October), wrapping up with this last race in Seoul.

oddly enough, jang and song looks compatible together. Or is it just me who is looking at the other direction. Hihihi...

kinna odd wearing black in a "Pink Ribbon Parade." I participated in those parade twice here in seattle, and no one wore black or any dark clothes. I guess black is back!

It's normal to only wear a pink ribbon, that's what we do here.

I think they wore the balck on purpose to stand out. Not in a bad way though.
They would really stick out in articles such as these, making it eaiser to raise awareness and therefore maybe gain greater support.
Just a thought.

Jang Dong Gun probably doesn't have something pink.. ( I'm making excuse for him :P )
He's sizzling hot.
I like long haired Song Hye Kyo, but she's definitely cute.
I don't think they look compatible. Hahaha. Because I want someone else stands beside JDG. ;)

Yea, I really love how Song Hye-Gyo looks right now, I think I actually prefer her right now than how she used to style herself. Lol, and I actually think that her and Jang Dong-Gun look really good together. :]]

I think they do look good together, and anyway, for the stylists, well done! they really made them even more noticeable here.

SHG looks older and more mature in a way that she still looks pretty. I don't know why but I still feel sadness radiating from her. I like how they look together. Hmmm, they should film together. :D
i wish I can run for this too but the fees here are quite pricy. The last I check was $35...I don't mind doing charities but I'm quite broke lately for a college student. X_X

i am a Filipino but we are a group here who prays that someday this two beautiful individuals meet and make a film together. They really look great together. Is our wish still far behind? We really like song hye gyo and jang dung gon. The Filipinos love you.
