Former Miss Korea and Miss Universe runner-up, Honey Lee transforms into a sexy yet powerful MMA fighter for her debut film, “Hit“, directed by Lee Sunghan and produced by Buyoung Entertainment.
This is Sunghan’s third film following “Wind” along with “Spare” and in order to appease the unpredictable audiences, the director had a budget of nearly $12.7 million USD on props and equipment in order to create the comical martial arts action atmosphere for the movie.
Honey Lee along with Han Jaesuk are the main characters and they will also share a secret relationship. Asides from Honey Lee and Han Jaesuk, Jung Sung Hwa, Song Young Chang, Park Sung Ong, Marco, and Yoontaek will appear in the film.
Wearing tight leather and exposing her stomach, audiences are anticipating the action acting abilities of Honey Lee.
For the movie, Honey focused on lunging and kicking for a month prior to the actual filming. Once on the set she didn’t make any mistakes during the fighting sequences and filmed the scenes in one take, causing the 100+ staff members and extras to applaud her.
Honey was chosen for this movie because Director Sunghan was confident in her abilities.
Honey stated, “The whole film develops quickly with powerful characters and a good story line, so I chose to take on this challenge.”
Child actress Kim Sae Ron is receiving attention for her adorable airport fashion.
On August 29th, Kim Sae Ron and Won Bin departed for Japan to promote their hit movie, “The Man From Nowhere“. Kim Sae Ron wore a camel-colored trench coat that retained a youthful vibe thanks to its skinny belt and princess cut.
Her round glasses, cropped leggings, and a checked backpack combined to display a comfortable, yet fashion-forward look for young girls.
In the past, Kim Sae Ron had always shown bold and sensible fashion at awards shows and formal events. Finding a good balance between being youthful and classic, it’s no wonder she’s received the nickname, ‘Little Fashionista’.
Meanwhile, on September 17th, “The Man From Nowhere” will open in 80-100 theaters nationwide in Japan. The movie is also waiting for its grand opening across 4,000 screens in China on September 16th.
On November 5th, Y-STAR‘s ’Curious Things‘ conducted a street survey in which they asked ordinary people about the criteria of being an idol.
According to the survey results, the average age of idols came out to be 25 – indicating that people did not really see stars over the age of 25, as idols. Taking this into account, Y-STAR calculated the average age of various groups.
Groups such as SNSD, T-ara, and2PM were found to have an average age of less than 25, while groups like Super Juniorand Brown Eyed Girls had a higher average age.
With these results, it was concluded that Brown Eyed Girls and Super Junior should be not recognized as just ‘idols’, but rather as ‘adult idols’.
Actor Jang Dong Gun is famous for falling asleep after a few drinks, while Song Joongki is known to scream at the top of his lungs.
But the drinking habits of stars such as Lee Young Ah who confessed to well handle 20 shots of whiskey, or Jo In Sung who drinks up to 35 beer+soju concoctions are still no match for that of 2PM’s Nichkhun nor Lee Juk.
Lee Jun Ki has a habit of embracing people after tossing back a few drinks, while Nichkhun gets a bit touchy feely, even kissing those around him. Yoon Jong Shin revealed that singer Lee Juk has a habit of removing his clothing when tipsy.
On the other hand, there are celebrities that cannot hold their alcohol well at all. Song Seung Hun is known for being unable to handle alcohol, as his max limit is half a bottle of soju, falling asleep before even finishing.
Y-STAR exposes the drinking habits of all the top stars on the episode of ‘Rapid Reflexes‘ that airs on the 29th at 11PM.
CableTV Y-STAR conducted a survey asking 1,000 Seoul residents about who they felt was the ultimate idol star and why. The results? Big Bang’s G-Dragon was picked as the ultimate triple-threat, thanks to his songwriting, composing, and rapping skills.
A close second was 2PM’s Nichkhun, who was chosen for his cute image and was voted hands-down the ultimate foreign idol star.
Also chosen were JYJ’s Junsu for his singing talents, Jay Park for his dance skills, Big Bang’s T.O.P for his charismatic appeal, 2AM’s Jo Kwon for being the most entertaining celebrity, 2PM’s Taecyeon for hottest body, and Super Junior’s Choi Si Won for being the most handsome.
