Hyun Bin selected as Crocodile male model
Men's Crocodile of Dunfield Group (Chairman Suh Soon-hee) announced that it has signed a contract with actor Hyun Bin for the 2021 F/W season as an exclusive model. Male Crocodile, which has a solid customer base of middle-aged men, plans to expand to a younger customer base in their 30s and 40s through this pictorial with Hyun Bin.
Crocodile, the representative brand for middle-aged men in Korea, plans to deliver a new brand image to the existing middle-aged customers as well as the customers in their 30s and 40s and secure a customer base by introducing a more trendy and young design with this model selection.
This 21F/W season crocodile with a more casual sense was carried out with a minimal line that will stimulate the fashion sense of men in their 30s and 40s. In addition to the youthful tapered fit trouser line, a neat solid color round neckline knit, a stylish tone-down jacket, and a luxurious gingham check coat, a variety of stylish and practical products have been prepared.
Vice President Song Jae-yeon said that the reason for choosing him was that his image, which has a masculine image as well as the gentle image of Hyun Bin, who is envied by men as well as women of all ages, fits well with the brand image of men's crocodile that will be developed in the future.
In addition, Men's Crocodile, which had been leading the sales method centered on street shops, announced that through a contract with Hyun Bin, it plans to expand its scope to online, where people in their 30s are high, and conduct diversified marketing that integrates online and offline.

The painting that was also in Son Ye-jin and Cho Yoon-hee's house...80 million won at the end of the competition.
Woo Guk-won's work, which was sold at 80 million won, eight times more than 10 million won.
The work of Woo Kuk-won became the most competitive work at K-Auction auction in July after June.
KAuction said on the 23rd that Woo Guk-won's painting "Dinner" was sold at 80 million won, eight times the starting price of 10 million won, at a major auction.
At the major auction of K-Auction last month, Woo Guk-won's painting "Satisfaction" was sold for 40 million won, five times the starting price of 8 million won.
Woo Guk-won's work was hung in the living room when Son Ye-jin unveiled her house on a TV entertainment program in 2018. Son Ye-jin's painting is "Conversation Got Boring," a 2013 work. When Cho Yoon-hee appeared on a TV entertainment program and revealed her house, Woo Kuk-won's work was hanging in the living room.
Meanwhile, the highest-priced work at the K-Auction was sold for 1.6 billion won with Alexander Calder's mobile work "Boomerangs and Targets," which was first submitted in Korea.
Donald Judd's work "Untitled" was sold for 700 million won and Mel Bockner's work "Chuckle," a leading American conceptual artist, was sold for 250 million won.
Monochromatic painting was still popular. Lee Woo-hwan's work, which topped the auction in the first half of the year, was submitted with six pieces, all of which were submitted. Five of Park Seo-bo's tricks were also submitted, and five of six of Kim Chang-yeol's works found a new owner.-

Goo Do Shim talked about Hyun Bin again
She appeared on Huh Young Man's Food Travel to promote her new movie, Shining Moment. Huh Young Man asked Goo Do Shim to call HB to be on the show
"Don't talk to the agency, just come out a little bit." Go Doo-sim, trying to cast Hyun Bin on "The 100th Ban Ki Haeng."Huh Young-man suddenly asked, “Call actor Hyun Bin and ask him to appear in Baekban Travel (please tell me)”. Go Doo-shim said, “Me? In the past, I played the role of a son in the drama, but now he is getting too big.”
Huh Young-man said firmly, "Even when you grow up, a son is a son." In response, Go Doo-shim said, "Hyun Bin-ah, such an adult is begging, but when do you have a little time, don't talk to the agency and come out a bit?" She also delivered a message of support, “to eat well and be healthy wherever you are.”
Huh Young-man said, "I have something to say to Hyun Bin. I can't see his face these days.." To this, Go Doo-shim said, "It must have been because he was filming in a foreign country."
After enjoying the grilled porridge and mulhoe, Heo Young-man made a rather unexpected request to Go Doo-shim. Heo Young-man said, "Please ask Hyun Bin to come out on 'A Trip to the Half Years'" and asked Go Doo Shim, who had a relationship with the mother and child in the past drama 'The Snow Queen'. So, it was only then that we were between mother and son, and now Go Doo Shim, who was hesitant about not contacting us often, left a video letter saying, "Hyun Bin-ah, the elderly are asking you to do this.

Crash Landing On You is getting a documentary made in Japan
"Hand Sick" by Japan, the country of fanatics.
The popularity of Korean dramas in Japan with the drama "Crash Landing on You" has not cooled down for more than a year and a half. Rather, it is called the "third Korean Wave" and seems to expand its influence in all directions. Even a remake of a Korean drama is popular, and an exhibition of Korean dramas is held in the midst of Corona 19 in offline, drawing great popularity from local fans. Meanwhile, Netflix also gave specific figures that Japanese subscribers' time to watch Korean dramas has increased more than six times compared to a year ago. Although Korea-Japan relations are still frozen, multinational OTT, Internet and SNS, which are not affected by bilateral relations, are playing a new role, strengthening the continuity of the third Korean Wave.
According to drama production companies Studio Dragon (253450) and CJ ENM (035760), Japanese terrestrial Nippon TV (NTV) has been broadcasting season 2 of "Voice 110 Emergency Command Room," a remake of "Voice" since the 10th. The film has continued to show positive performance, with its first episode rating reaching 11.3 percent. "Voice" is a genre that tells the story of 112 reporting center directors and other members who have invitation power struggling to secure golden time at crime scenes. It has also succeeded in settling into a seasonal drama by securing a stable fixed fan base in Korea, and its fourth season is currently airing.
Posters of season 2 of the Japanese remake of the drama "Voice 110," which has been broadcast on Nippon TV since the 10th. /Photo courtesy = Studio Dragon
Earlier this January, a Japanese version of the Korean drama "Familiar Wife (2018)" was aired on Japanese terrestrial Fuji TV. It was scheduled at 10 p.m. every Thursday, the prime time, and ended with a stable ratings of 7 to 8 percent (based on the Gwandong district). The reality and boredom of married couples' lives were melted into a fantasy theme called Time Slip, which received favorable reviews when it aired in Korea. In April, the drama "How" was sold to Fuji TV and aired late at night.
As such, the popularity of Korean dramas in Japan is still on the rise. Japan's terrestrial TV Tokyo reported on the 13th that Netflix's Japanese users watched Korean dramas last year more than six times more than the previous year. Starting with "Crash Landing on You," dramas such as "Itaewon Class," "It's Okay to Not Be Okay," and "Vinsenzo" became popular in Japan.
Regarding the popularity of Korean dramas, TV Tokyo said, "Differentiated 'specific video expression' is the secret." "It is a natural result to realize the imagination as a video because the story is diversified and there are many stories beyond our imagination." The drama "Vinsenzo," which aired earlier this year, showed an example of a scene set in Italy using synthetic technology instead of going there.
Due to this popularity, "Studio Dragon Hallyu Drama Exhibition," an offline exhibition, has also been held in Tokyo since the 10th. The exhibition, jointly organized by Asahi TV, Japan's private broadcasting station, has three drama experience centers: "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" starring Park Seo-joon and Park Min-young, "Start Up" by Suzy and Nam Joo-hyuk, and "Vinsenzo" by Song Joong-ki and Jeon Yeo-bin. The exhibition features photos and videos, as well as photo zones, reproduced sets, props and costumes.
The popularity of the drama "Crash Landing on You" which has set the stage for the third Korean Wave in Japan, has also been in progress for a year and a half since it ended. Since the drama was aired on Netflix, the main actor Hyun Bin has become a cover model for a leading weekly magazine and has become so popular that a special planning article has been released in the leading media. According to Studio Dragon, NHK, a Japanese public broadcaster, is preparing a documentary on the background of "Crash Landing on You" gaining popularity locally, the impact and reasons of the drama, in October this year. It is known that interviews including major actors, production staff and critics are included.

So sweet and cute
Official news/Crashing Landing On You is getting an American remake. It was mentioned briefly before when Studio Dragon and Skydance news came about. Hotel Del Luna and The Cursed are other Studio Dragon kdramas that have been mentioned previously in news that are also getting remakes.
Studio Dragon is going to make a remake of "Crash Landing on You" that is speeding up its entry into the US
Studio Dragon, the leading producer of Korean Wave content, is expected to join hands with the US production company Sky Dance to produce a remake of "Crash Landing on You."
According to related industries on the 20th, Studio Dragon is working on a project to localize the US by utilizing the "Crash Landing Intellectual Property (IP)" of Love. A Studio Dragon official said, "There are several projects that are exchanging IP with Sky Dance, and the crash landing of love is also one of the projects under way." "Detailed production schedule, timing and direction have not been confirmed yet."
This is part of a collaboration project with Skydance, a US production company that signed a strategic partnership in February last year. Skydance is a production company that produced films such as "Terminator," "6 Underground," "Mission Impossible," dramas "Grace and Frankie," and "Ultimate Carbon."
Studio Dragon has been actively exchanging original IPs owned by both companies along with Sky Dance and has been promoting a number of joint planning and development projects. The crash landing of love is also being carried out as one of the joint planning and development projects. Prior to this, the two companies had confirmed the production of a remake of "Hotel Del Luna." Including this, four Studio Dragon IP works are currently being developed as remakes.
Not only Studio Dragon IP but also Sky Dance's IP is working together. Currently, the two companies are developing a series of script dramas called 'Queens of the Desserts' using the IP that has Sky Dance. It is also known that other original IP developments owned by Skydance are being discussed.
In addition, the two companies have confirmed series orders for Apple TV+Hyang original dramas, further enhancing cooperation on US projects. "The Big Door Prize," which has confirmed its production, is a 10-part human drama that combines fantasy and mystery genres, based on MO Walsh's novel of the same name. Beyond the sale of finished content or remake rights, Studio Dragon will be the first studio in Korea to produce a series of American dramas for global viewers.
"The reason why we are paying attention to Studio Dragon's entry into the US market is that the production cost of American dramas is similar to that of Korean dramas. It is equivalent to Studio Dragon's annual sales of five episodes a year and one season each, " an industry source said.
Meanwhile, Studio Dragon is planning a total of 18 projects, including "The Big Door Prize," which has confirmed production, and projects to localize successful IPs in Korea, including "Crash Landing On You" and "Hotel Del Luna."https://www.techm.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=86226

@Ephoenixyea last casting news was last month with Bae Hyun Sung joining the cast. It was in several recruitment postings on crank in lol - which link to filming this week to more of end of July now lol.. I also wonder if it's really all of them in Our Blues drama since besides LBH, Shin Min Ah (also working on drama), Han Ji Min (also has movie) etc .. If they are all working on multiple projects then, I applaud everyone for fitting Our Blues into their busy schedules. I notice lately too - you either get confirmed casting news before or after script reading happens /or network posts official news or you don't really get much news and there is filming hahaa. So who knows. I just really think they should give us more about Our Blues again before /when it does really film.
Yea LBH has been giving us lots of news
I was very impressed with his French I've been retweeting your tweets on twitter hahaa.
I guess when THR article made Kmedia news - BH Entertainment gave more of statement of reviewing/considering the role.
Following the report, BH Entertainment clarified, “It is true that actor Lee Byung Hun is participating in producing the film. He is considering appearing [in the film].”

Some of these facts we already knew but she had mentioned again in her SMART Hallyu Hangout:
Son Ye-Jin: 'Crash Landing' crush reveals 8 facts about her
MANILA, Philippines — Hallyu superstar Son Ye-jin sat with her fans for the Smart-hosted fan virtual event on its website, Smart Hallyu Hangouts, last Friday. She spoke with "Nonstop 2" star and popular comedian Park Kyung-lim. Korean expatriate and TV host Sam Oh served as host and translator in the Philippine livestream.
The "Crash Landing On You" star also revealed interesting facts and trivia about herself during the interview.
1. She had a stunt double and did the English dub for her Smart commercial.
Ye-jin found her experience working with Smart's TVC fascinating because there were two teams that made it possible. The Philippines and South Korea team worked remotely together to create the unforgettable commercial that stars her and her "CLOY" reel and real-life boyfriend Hyun Bin.
She had a stunt double for the motorcycle scene. The only real part in there was when she was in the act of riding the motorcycle.
2. The actress also revealed that she has been studying English for the last 15 years.
"I don't really speak them but I practice very, very hard to get the pronunciation for the TVC," she said.
She feels that she's "still in the same spot" after 15 years of studying how to speak English. Ye-jin said she's been busy working for 20 years with 30 projects to her name that somehow got in the way of her learning the language.
3. She was not sure if she could bring to life her character, Yoon Se-ri, on the small screen.
Make no mistake, Ye-jin has a lot of iconic characters in her two-decade career. Her longtime fans can name a handful, from her "The Classic" days to romantic-comedy series like her Lee Min-ho starrer "Personal Taste."
Yoon Se-ri, undoubtedly, is among the popular ones, especially those who are new to K-drama. But did you know: She wasn't sure about the project?
Ye-jin said that she found the script of "CLOY" so funny and she enjoyed it so much. She, however, felt a lot of pressure because she wasn't sure if she could bring the script to life and "do justice" for it.
Park Ji-eun was at the helm of its screenplay. She is the writer behind hit series "My Love From The Star" and "Legend of the Blue Sea." She also does a lot of scripts for variety shows in South Korea.
"The writer wrote for a comedy show so timing is very crucial," Ye-jin shared. She also recalled how she had a great chemistry acting out with Yang Kyung-won, who played Pyo Chi-su, one of the underlings of Capt. Ri (Hyun Bin).
Seri, a famous fashion designer in South Korea, finds herself trapped in North Korea after a paragliding incident. She lands in the home of Capt. Ri who has four underlings who help him hide and conceal Se-ri's real identity while finding ways for her to go back to South Korea.Se-ri and Chi-su often found themselves at odds with each other because he is suspicious of South Koreans who enter his native North Korea.
4. She's naughty and playful.
Yes, most of her works may be melodramas, but Son is rather the opposite of her many characters.
"I think I like it best when I can make someone laugh. There's something about being able to do that to another person -- to be happy. I'm normally naughty, playful and I also like to laugh myself," Ye-jin answered when asked about the aspect of herself that she likes the most.
This also proves she's one of South Korea's best actresses although she chooses to downplay it, especially when she was asked during the event if she is Korea's best actress. She immediately answered no, but with the goading of Kyung-lim, she hesitantly said, "A little, maybe."
5. If given the chance to live again, she does not want to be reincarnated as Son Ye-jin.
Shocker! Even Sam Oh and Park Kyung-lim were surprised. But Ye-jin stood firm with her answer, saying that she's already lived that life. In her next life, she would want to be born with the ability to fly.
6. She totally blocks off social media when not working AND does not search her name on the Internet.
Unlike other famous people, Ye-jin does not spend her time Googling herself.
"When I'm working, maybe, I will check. If there is a new show out, I will check out what people are saying. But when I'm resting like right now, I will go the entire week sometimes without checking the news online. I'm committed to my resting period," she said.
7. Once a project is done, she does not rewatch herself on the screen again.
