SISTAR Bora, 'I Would Not Date Song Joong Ki'


 
 Bora SISTAR shared her thoughts about her dream guy, Song Joong Ki.

On May 20, Bora appeared as a guest on Mnet's 'Beatles Code 2' during which past clips of SISTAR's interview was played.

As mentioned in multiple interviews and TV shows, Bora's dream guy is actor Song Joong Ki. The hosts of the show pushed the envelope a bit, fishing for more by asking "What about him do you like so much?"

Bora replied, "He really is my dream guy. I am truly his fan. But ideals are just ideals, no more, no less. 

People around me ask why I don't try to meet him but I don't think that is a good idea. I am actually quite sorry that his names get mentioned so much because of me."

Taken aback by Bora's serious remark, the hosts asked, "Even if Song Joong Ki asks you out first? What if he goes on his knees and pleads?" Bora did not budge an inch, as she answered, "Still not going to happen."

But when Tak Jae Hoon, one of the hosts, made a fake phone call to Song Joong Ki and said that he is going to visit the studio, Bora's face went red, prompting a huge laughter.

Lee Hong Ki and Lee Seung Gi Want To Be Bad Guys

 

Lee Hong Ki and Lee Seung Gi want to be bad, that is, they both want to try playing bad guys.

Playing a troublemaking pop star in his new movie, "Passionate Goodbye" is not bad enough for FT Island's Lee Hong Ki. In the future, he wants to act the part of someone really bad, maybe even the devil.

It's not the first time he has played a pop star, as he was Jeremy, a member of the band Anjell in "You're Beautiful." But he says acting the part of the biggest pop star in Korea was a stretch.

"I'm not the best in reality," said Lee Hong Ki, who worried so much about his performance that he could not sleep. "I do complain a lot in real life though, so that part of my role was not difficult."

But he would like to stretch his acting abilities even more. To avoid being typecast and maybe provide a contrast to the adorable Jeremy, he would like to be one of the bad guys.

"I would like to play parts that are not singers," said Lee Hong Ki, 23, at a recent press conference. "Roles like monsters in science fiction, vampires or that devil figure in the film "Death Note."

In his new film, his idol singer character is forced to do hospice work, which makes him realize what's important in life. It premieres on May 30.

At a press conference for his popular drama, "Gu Family Book," Lee Seung Gi also expressed the desire to play a bad guy. The role of the spoiled rich kid in "Shining Inheritance" is about as bad a character as he has taken on so far. Playing a character that lives off his grandmother's money was just not bad enough.

"I want to try acting in a villain role some day," he said. "But having life experience is important for a role like that so I think I'll try it around the time I'm in my late 30s and 40s." 

Lee Seung Gi, 26, also played a prince in MBC's King 2 Hearts, a student in the SBS drama, "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho."

Like Lee Hong Ki, he is good at playing "cute," but he thinks he will have to try a villainous role if he wants to score any serious awards. He may be up for an award this year. His new series, "Gu Family Book," in which he plays a half-human, half-mythical creature, has consistently won the ratings for its time slot. He also earned praise from fellow actors for his total immersion in the role.


Taecyeon And Jessica Dating: So Many Rumors

 

He says they only met for coffee. She says they are just friends. Both their entertainment agencies say that the fact that 2PM's Taecyeon and Girls Generation's Jessica met up recently in Japan does not mean they are dating. And yet the rumors keep on circulating.

In fact, rumors about the singer/actor and singer/actress dating have been circulating since 2010. And that's how long everyone involved has been denying them.

When Taecyeon recently appeared on the MBC talk show "Radio Star," to promote 2PM's comeback with the singles, "Come Back When You Hear This Song" and "A.D.T.O.Y." he tried to explain the photographs taken of them in Japan.

The idol actor, who appeared in "CInderella's Sister" and "Dream High," said that when he heard Jessica was in Japan, he suggested they meet after he finished up at the gym. It was just a casual meet-up between good friends.

 "Taecyeon and I are just good friends, nothing more," said Jessica, who appeared in the drama "Wild Romance." "We have a lot in common, such as our American upbringing, but we are not dating. Truthfully, I don't think I could ever date him, because I just can't forget my first love."

Shortly thereafter both agencies made their official statements. But it's not the first time, the agencies had to publicly deny the relationship.

In 2011, after the two were seen eating at a café and she drove him home to his dorm, there were also lots of rumors. Then Taecyeon's agency, JYP Entertainment, released a statement saying that all members of 2PM and SNSD are close to one another. Jessica and Taecyeon specifically have a close friendship, but they are definitely not dating."

Jessica's agency, SM Entertainment, issued a statement saying that "rumors of them dating are groundless."

At that time Jessica attempted to explain why they could not date by offering information about her mysterious first love. She met her first love during her trainee days.

"He seemed rather indifferent, like he didn't think much of me one way or another, but I definitely liked him and made my feelings clear after a short time," said Jessica.

She described her memories as precious and said she would get goosebumps every time her mystery love touched her. But when pressed for his identity, she could only come up with a first name, "Aircon." This sparked a frenzied Internet search among fans with no results. Was the name made up? No one could find out her mystery lover's identity. Two years later no one has.

Taecyeon was recently quoted as saying he would date his "We Got Married: Global Edition" pretend wife, Chinese actress Gui Gui in real life, but she was quoted as saying she did not think it would work out. The poor guy seems to have a hard time getting a date and, if the Jessica rumors are false, then he has been consigned once again to the friend zone.

What do you think? Are Taecyeon and Jessica really dating or just friends? And if they're friends, isn't it about time they started dating?

LeeSsang Clears Up Controversy Surrounding Its New Building and Eviction Claims

 

The People′s Coalition for Land Justice had told the press on May 21 that after LeeSsang had purchased a building in Sinsa-dong in May 2012, it had told a man who owned a restaurant in the building without prior notice that it would not extend its renting contract with the man, practically forcing the restaurant out of the building.

With these claims, many came to believe that LeeSsang had been abusing its power as the owner of the building to evict powerless shop owners.

Gil, however, countered that "it is not true that LeeSsang forcefully refused to extend the contract."

He said it was true that Gil and Gary had purchased under both of their names a building in May 2012, and said, "Though we got a 3.6 billion won debt, we took it to fulfill a bigger dream we had."

"The building became LeeSsang′s in May 2012, and we decided to enter the building in August. Suddenly, around June, a man who had been renting a space appeared at our home and told my mother, who had been alone, that he would not be leaving the building. My mother was very surprised at the sudden visit and so were we," he added.

He then said, "Through a representative, we told the man that we would not extend his contract with the building once his first contract expires, and attempted to decide on proper compensation out of responsibility. The renter, however, demanded 300 million won, and our representative told him that was too much. The renter went on to say, like he was aiming to ruin our image, that he would ′put up a placard or something′, and added that he would ′continue to run [the restaurant]′ as he would not leave no matter what. How do you think we would have been able to meet peacefully in such an emotional situation?"

Gil continued, "If we had been abusing our power, our actions would have come to light in court. He is not eligible for renter protection under the law. What could we have done? Now we′ve become greedy people based on the renter′s claims."

Despite coming to harm, Gil said LeeSsang will not be taking any legal measures against the man.

"We′re not thinking of bringing charges of slander or defamation against him. We just wanted to let more people know of the truth because many facts have been twisted around," he finished.

Ki Sung Yueng Explains Rumors and Apologizes to Soon-to-be Wife Han Hye Jin on His Facebook 

On May 17, soccer player Ki Sung Yueng posted a long letter to his fans regarding his upcoming wedding in July and apologizing to his soon-to-be wife actress Han Hye Jin on his facebook.

The post starts out, “I wanted to write sooner, but only got to come around to it now. To be honest, I’ve been thinking about marrying Han Hye Jin since when I first started dating her.”

He continued and talked about the difficulties of being a celebrity couple. He said, “Both she and I thought about all the challenges we have faced. Since we receive great attention from other people due to the nature of our jobs, things have been rather difficult. I should have been able to protect and love Hye Jin, who’s an actress, but…” 

He also explained the initials embroidered on his soccer cleats, which first sparked the public’s curiosity about Ki Sung Yueng’s possible girlfriend. He explained, “I didn’t mean much when I embroidered those initials. I just really wanted to have that loving feelings I have for her when I’m on the field, so I didn’t think much before putting them on my cleats. I felt so bad that I didn’t get to protect Hye Jin. I knew I wanted to marry her, spend the rest of my life with her, so I couldn’t help but to feel sorry for her and about the situation, what I have caused in her life.”

Ki Sung Yueng also told his and Han Hye Jin’s fans to stop making up or believing rumors about the couple’s relationship and upcoming wedding. He said, ” The main reason why I’m writing this, is because I realize that there are many stories about us circulating around and I think it’s only right to straighten things out myself. I understand that many of you are worried about us due to our special circumstances. But I just wanted to let you know that I want to marry Hye Jin for the right reasons. She’s always so considerate and praying for me. She’s someone I could lean on throughout the rest of my life. She is so passionate about her job, doing the best she can in acting. I was scared at first, but I knew that this was going to be the biggest regret in my life if I let go of her. I just wanted to spend the rest of my life next to her.”

He continued, “It took us unusually short period of time since when we first started seeing each other until we made the decision to get married. I just wanted to clarify that it’s not because I’m lonely and living alone. I wanted to show Hye Jin that I mean it when I say that she makes me happy and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. And I thought action speaks louder than words. I’m so in love with Hye Jin and am beyond excited about creating a family with her. No matter what other people have to say, all I want to do right now is to just embrace Hye Jin tightly in my arms.”

Lastly, he ended the post by saying, “We will live together well. She’s not pregnant like so many of you are assuming right now. I’d like to meet little-Ki, too, but not now. I would like to sincerely thank all of you who are so supportive of us. I will try my best to improve myself as a soccer player, too. This moment in my life is probably the happiest moment of my life. I will strive to live a fuller, happier life from here on.” 
Ki Sung Yueng and Han Hye Jin announced their plans to marry each other on May 10, only after about three months of dating. Currently, Han Hye Jin is filming upcoming movie”When a Man Loves” and Ki Sung Yueng is still in season, playing soccer in England. The details of the wedding have not been announced yet.
