Han Soo Yeon Talks About Hating Park Bo Gum In “Moonlight Drawn By Clouds”

In drama “Moonlight Drawn By Clouds,” actress Han Soo Yeon plays the role of Queen Kim, who plans to seize power by making her own child king. Park Bo Gum plays the Crown Prince, Lee Young, who is direct conflict with the queen.

Queen Kim and Lee Young have already shown conflict with each other in the second episode, foreshadowing a continued strife and discord between the two. Queen Kim, who has to some how get rid of Lee Young, expresses the challenge and her resolve to do so through her emotions.

Han Soo Yeon comments, “Park Bo Gum is really nice. He is friendly and respectful to all other actors and staff on set. I can’t bring myself to hate this nice kid.”

She adds, “I have to act as though I hate him while filming, but it’s difficult to capture those emotions. When we’re filming, I have to immerse myself into the emotions of the drama, but there are times I am unable to because of his personality.”

“It’s twice as hard to act with Park Bo Gum than anyone else. It’s because I have to hate him, but I can’t. So I purposely distance myself from him before filming starts and think to myself ‘I hate him.'”

“There are a lot of young actors that star in ‘Moonlight Drawn by Clouds,’ and they are all doing well. Not only Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung, but also Jinyoung, Kwak Dong Yeon, etc. Also the more senior actors such as Kim Seung Soo and Chun Ho Jin are working hard with their characters as well.”

“Because of the actors’ hard work, viewers are watching with interest. I will also try my best until the last episode. My goal is to receive praise that I’ve successfully done my part as a villain. Please watch the drama favorably.”

STELLAR Opens Up About Being Viewed As Racy Girl Group

Girl group Stellar reveals new insight into their time in the industry and their image as a sexy girl group in a long interview with bnt.

For their pictorial, they had two concepts. The first was a concept that might seem a bit unfamiliar with them, a simple sporty look with long sweatshirts. For the second concept they wear alluring black outfits that show off their figure.

The members of the group cheerfully did the photo shoot and when asked how they’ve been doing, they happily mentioned their first solo concert as well as their overseas promotions.

Stellar1

When asked to compare their previous album with their current one, they said, “The previous album was a fresh feeling while for this one, we tried really hard to appeal to our femininity and our sexiness. We’ve gained a lot more fans and at our fan signings, we’ve noticed a lot more foreign fans as well.”

They also share about their feelings as they prepared for their album, revealing, “Since we’re from a small agency, we always worried if this album would be our last if it didn’t go well. However, since this album did well, our CEO became stronger in his convictions for us.”

When asked about the concept for their next album, they said, “We want a song that expresses a deep love. We were so disappointed when our song ‘Vibrato’ didn’t do well. We want our next song to be like that. ‘Vibrato’ didn’t have a fast beat but the more you listen to it, the more fun it is. We want to release a album before the weather changes to become more cold.”

They also shared about the busy schedule as they promote their songs, to which they replied, “These days, the promotional periods for idols has become short and so if you rest for too long, you’re quickly forgotten. You actually get more depressed if you rest for too long. It’s better to live life busily.”

They reveal how they keep up with their health, saying, “We eat a lot of vitamins and fruits and also get intravenous vitamins. When we’re promoting, we can’t exercise frequently but we also can’t eat dinner well, so we do lose weight.”

Stellar3

When asked about their individual personalities, they share, “Gayoung is quiet and calm and very introverted. Minhee is very talkative and expresses herself very well and isn’t very feminine. When Minhee is feeling down, the entire team feels down and when she’s happy, it cheers up the entire team. Jeonyul is really good on variety shows and you never know what she’s going to say so you have to keep an eye on her. Minhee is the most talented on the stage and Hyoeun has a lot of female fans.”

Stellar2

They also take some time to talk about the member changes in their group, saying, “It was after the first album that Hyoeun and Minhee joined the team but their personalities matched so well with us that we didn’t even notice any changes. We found out that the new members would be joining us during our photo shoot for the album jacket. Gayoung and Minhee have known each other since middle school, so they were close friends for over 10 years.”

Stellar5

They open up more about their longevity in the industry, stating that, “The resting time in between promotional activities is the most difficult. We wait for a song and begin to yearn for the stage. We did feel a lot of pressure to do a sexy concept after ‘Marionette.’ If we try to do another concept, it gets overlooked. There isn’t much response to other concepts. We feel sad that the public only views us as being a racy girl group.”

Stellar does have an advantage over many other girl groups in the industry, as they confess that although they do not have a dating ban placed on them by their agency, the problem lies in that they do not have any guys around them!

They then reveal that the variety show they want to go on the most is “Ask Us Anything,” saying that they want to trade jokes and get along with Kim Heechul.

Let’s hope we can see them on the show soon!

Gong Yoo And Kim Go Eun’s New Drama Holds First Script Reading

tvN’s upcoming drama, “Goblin,” has held its first script read-through with the cast.

The drama, written by Kim Eun Sook and directed by Lee Eung Bok, is scheduled to air in December. The cast, which includes Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun, Yoo In Na, Yook Sungjae, Kim Sung Kyum, Park Hee Bon, Hwang Suk Jung, and Lee El, held their script reading at the Nuri Dream Square Business Tower on August 30.

Goblin

Although it was the first meeting for the full cast, they were completely absorbed in the script during the four-hour session. Gong Yoo is playing the goblin Kim Jin, while Kim Go Eun is playing a high school girl named Ji Eun Tak.

Lee Dong Wook showed off his charisma in the role of a grim reaper (or angel of death), while Yoo In Na made everyone laugh with her lines as Sunny, a chicken restaurant owner. Yook Sungjae, who plays Yoo Duk Hwa, the son of a wealthy family, was energetic throughout the read-through.

Goblin 1

The production staff stated, “Writer Kim Eun Sook and producing director Lee Eung Bok took the lead. The script read-through was passionate and the actors all matched well together. We have confidence that we can make a production that will conclude 2016 with a flourish.”

Hong Jong Hyun And Kim Young Kwang Jet Off To Japan For New Travel Reality Show

Traveling is always double the fun when you go with your best friend!

Actors and real-life best friends Hong Jong Hyun and Kim Young Kwang recently went on a trip to Japan at the beginning of August for a new, upcoming MBC travel reality show.

As suggested by the title of the show, “Hello Kyushu,” they will explore the island of Kyushu, traveling to its many prefectures.

On the last night, the actors reportedly stayed at a luxury ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), where they faced an unexpected challenge. In order to use the general onsen (hot springs), Hong Jong Hyun and Kim Young Kwang are expected to strip down as tradition dictates.

Kim Young Kwang Hong Jong Hyun

While taken aback at this realization, they end up using a private spring instead. However, another issue arises because the spring is only meant for one person, rather than two. Hilarity ensues as two grown men well over 180 cm (approximately 71 inches) attempt to sit in the private spring together side-by-side.

Hong Jong Hyun and Kim Young Kwang reportedly don’t let the small size deter them, as they have fun horsing around with each other.

“Hello Kyushu” will premiere on September 2 through MBC Every1 at 5 p.m. KST, and air one more time at 8 p.m. KST.

Despite being the leader and strongest of the group, he definitely does surrender when it comes to tickle torture.

Charades is an ongoing segment throughout their tour and the vocal unit has not lost a single game since the start of their Asia Pacific tour.

Seungkwan, DK, and Woozi know how to hit those notes!

4. They definitely know the way to Carats’ hearts!

With two members from the US, Vernon and Joshua were already able to communicate with Carats without a translator, but the other members also put in a lot of effort to speak to their fans in English. Phrases like “I miss you” and “I love you” were used frequently throughout the night.

3. Amazing and in-sync choreography!

It’s amazing to see 13 members dance so perfectly during their performances. Definitely a pleasure to watch!

034_Seventeen_Melbourne-1024x684

2. Fan service at its finest!

Not only did the members show off their hidden talents, but they threw in some aegyo and sexy dancing, and they even threw signed balls into the crowd for lucky Carats!

1. The energy was unreal!

It’s what you get when you have 13 young idols on stage! Lots of laughter, fun, and jokes, and undoubtedly a very enjoyable night!

Zico Talks Rumors Regarding His Relationship With Seolhyun That Circulated Before Dating News Broke

On the newest episode of MBC’s “Radio Star,” which aired on August 31, Simon D, Gray, Zico, and actress Lee Sun Bin appear as guests.

During the show, Zico answers questions regarding his recently revealed relationship with AOA member Seolhyun.

MC Yoon Jong Shin asks, “Did the dating news break without you expecting it at all? Because there are instances when the reporting agency will contact you first and say, ‘We’ve confirmed this news and are going to publish it.”

Zico responds, “I mean of course there were rumors circulating among our acquaintances. [They’d say,] ‘You guys were caught on camera,’ things like that.”

“I expected the news to break at some point, but I didn’t think the news would be released in such a sudden way,” Zico says. “Even before the news broke, though, I would get a lot of calls from people I don’t really know asking me, ‘Are you in that kind of relationship with that person.’ I got a lot of calls like that. So I didn’t think [the news] was that significant.”

Block B Zico 2

However, when the news broke, Zico reveals he was extremely flustered. “I was in Japan [when the reports were published], and I was sleeping when I got a call from the head [of my agency].”

“I looked up the news article and was extremely shocked,” Zico says.

Dean Participates In “Unpretty Rapstar 3” As A Producer

Dean is set to show off his skills as producer for the Mnet survival show “Unpretty Rapstar 3.”

The singer is not only popular among the public, but also among his peers, being named as one of the top artists other artists want to work with.

Dean commented, “Probably many people couldn’t have predicted that I would participate in ‘Unpretty Rapstar 3’ as a producer. Because it is different from what I have shown of myself so far, I participated partly out of curiosity and partly out of fear.”

Dean Unpretty Rapstar 2

Dean prepared two tracks for the show, each with a different style. One is a urban track with a brass sound and the other is a sophisticated dance track with a prominent bass line. “If one is like meat, the other is like fish,” describes Dean.

Through Dean’s tracks, the contestants of “Unpretty Rapstar 3” will be competing to rap in track number five and six of the competition. Currently, Grace, Nada, Miryo, Ash-B, Yuna Kim, Yuk Jidam, Giant Pink, Jeon Soyeon, Janey, and Ha Jooyeon are remaining on the show.

You can watch Dean the producer on the September 3 episode of “Unpretty Rapstar 3,” airing 11 p.m. KST on Mnet.

Watch: BTS Celebrates Jungkook’s Birthday With Party And Funny Video Spam On Twitter

The guys of BTS are celebrating their maknae‘s birthday in true BTS fashion by posting plenty of funny saved videos and photos, as well as sharing a cake with the birthday boy!

September 1 is Jungkook’s 19th birthday (20th in Korean reckoning), and his fellow members took to their group Twitter after midnight KST to begin spamming with hilarious videos and photos of their beloved youngest member. Jimin was first up with a video of Jungkook pulling a funny face, before Rap Monster shared photos of Jungkook imitating a Geodude from Pokemon.

Suga then shared a photo of Jungkook taking a rest on a bike ride, with the caption, “This seriously looks like a bicycle ad.” He adds as the caption, “It’s Suga. [Using a] cool photo for your 20th birthday photo.”

But things quickly got back to the funny photos when Jin shared a picture of Jungkook that he took from a less than flattering angle. “JK, your eldest hyung is the best, right?” he writes as the caption.

The guys then kept the funny videos coming, with more from Jimin and J-Hope!

They also shared a sweet video of the whole group celebrating his birthday, complete with Jungkook blowing out the candles on a cake.

Meanwhile, Jungkook also shared a cover of Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” for fans on his birthday.

Happy birthday, Jungkook!

On the August 31 episode of MBC’s “Radio Star,” rappers Simon D, Gray, Zico, and actress Lee Sun Bin appear as guests.

While on the show, Zico is inevitably bombarded with questions regarding his budding relationship with AOA member Seolhyun. When asked by the MCs what first made him fall for Seolhyun, Zico responds, “In the beginning, we just knew of each other and were in a sunbae-hoobae relationship, but as we cautiously kept in touch—you know how it goes—without a specific reason, you develop interest.”

Zico continues, “That’s how we started cautiously meeting up with one another, and our relationship developed from there.”

When asked by Simon D whether Zico played hard to get, Zico says, “My personality itself is the type that just doesn’t play hard to get.”

Block B Zico AOA Seolhyun

Simon D asks, “Then you read her texts as soon as they came?”

“Well, I couldn’t read them when I was working,” Zico says. “But I would after I’m done with work.”

MC Yoon Jong Shin notes, “As you’re talking, I can tell that you’re being a lot more cautious than usual. Do you have a specific reason for that?”

“I think it’s a given that I can’t help but be careful,” Zico says.

Watch: Hyoyeon, Stephanie, And Ten Perform On “Hit The Stage,” 3rd Winner Crowned In Tearful Ceremony

“Hit the Stage” continues its third competition in August 31’s episode, with the remaining celebrity dancers wowing with the crowd with their performances under the theme of “uniforms.”

Last week’s episode featured the first set of performances from this competition by MONSTA X’s Shownu, ASTRO’s Rocky, Jang Hyunseung, SISTAR’s Bora, and BIGSTAR’s FeelDog. FeelDog was in first place by the end of the episode with the highest score of 155, but there are still three more dancers to go this week!

Spoilers

Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon is up first in this episode, taking the stage dressed with her crew as miners to perform a hip hop dance. She receives 152 points, coming in just under FeelDog’s first place score.

After performing as Jang Hyunseung’s partner in the second competition, Stephanie performs as a contestant herself in this episode along with the dance crew Black Toe. Stephanie and her crew are dressed up as flight attendants for their ballet-inspired dance to Britney Spears’s “Toxic.” She is also unable to beat FeelDog’s score, receiving 149 points.

NCT’s Ten is up last with the PREPIX crew for a magical performance as a crazed conductor that wows the crowd and earns him 159 points, which means he is the winner!

Ten gets tearful as he thanks everyone for the win, and also thanks his crew for staying up late every night for a week to practise with him. “I came in last place in the second competition,” he says as he cries, and says it was very stressful for his dance crew leader Lee Il Hyung too. “So I worked really hard.”

GFRIEND’s Eunha Talks About Role Models And Comparisons To EXO

GFRIEND’s Eunha recently participated in a pictorial for International bnt and opened up about her most recent promotions, her role models, and being compared to industry seniors.

In 2016, GFRIEND racked up 29 wins on music programs (15 for “Rough” and 14 for “Navillera”). This is the second-highest number of wins in a single year, behind only EXO’s 32 trophies in 2015.

Eunha GFRIEND 1

“We got our first No. 1 with ‘Rough,'” Eunha said. “I still can’t believe that we have 29. Every time I see the trophies at our agency, I get emotional. When I was in high school, I had friends who were huge fans of EXO, so it was amazing to get to meet them. I’m happy that we have lots of wins like them, but it’s also intimidating to be compared to such great senior groups.”

She continued, “My role models are 15&’s Park Jimin and Baek YerinWe’re the same age but their vocal talent is on a different scale. They make the music they like and write their own lyrics. I think that’s very cool. Among my members, I’d like to have Yuju’s powerful tone but I have confidence in singing more lovingly.”

GFRIEND Eunha

Eunha also described herself as the “black hole” when it comes to dancing. “I’m weak among our members in choreography but SinB is really good. We’ve been friends for 10 years. We have the same name, Eunbi, so we each took a syllable and incorporated it into our stage name. We think alike so we would make resolutions to diet together and then go out to eat the very next day.”

When asked who she would like to collaborate with in the future, she said, “When I was in middle school, I briefly attended vocal lessons. Block B’s Taeil was there, too, and he was so talented and nice. I would listen to him practice for the school concert and get goosebumps. Of all the people I’ve heard sing directly, I think he has the most talent.”
