For Your Viewing Pleasure: On White

 

Welcome back to another installment of For Your Viewing Pleasure, where we take time out of the week to curate a set of photos from the K-pop landscape.

 

White might seem like a boring choice, or even a colour some might avoid because of the inconvenience it brings. White items are easily stained and often brings out an image of overwhelming innocence. Those going for an edgier look might not seek white. However, the colour proves to be far more versatile, as long as one knows how to change it up with a variety of materials, textures, and accessories.

 

Lee Sung-kyung‘s white denim jacket clearer brings out personality, whereas Rain and Lee Ha-nui both opt for tight-fitting basic white tops to allure. Going beyond the conventional notions of purity that comes with the colour white, this selection of photos express the diversity that white can bring if one has the imagination to tap on.

Oh, he had his orange "I left my heart in San Francisco" cap on, between 00h00m10s and 00h00m12s, just very quick right before Lee Jung Jae. Rain looked quite relaxed and was talking to the guy on his right.

hnfragile, hahaha - there he is! Thanks dear. He looks so boyish, that's why! I guess he attended this VIP premier to show support to both of his drama co-stars : Son Jong-Hak who was in the drama "Sketch" & Daniel Henney who's in cameo in the movie who was in the drama "The Fugitive Plan B with him.

True that, Rain looked so young and fresh in that short clip, I sorta feel happy to see him that relaxed and smiling. I didn't notice that "Prosecutor Park" of "Sketch" is in "Money"

10 Older Romance K-Dramas That You Need To See

 

It feels like just yesterday I was watching these K-dramas as a kid, which are now referred to as “older K-dramas.”

 

It’s easy to get excited and sucked into the dramatic world of K-dramas these days, but there are lots of K-dramas from way back when that can be thoroughly enjoyed today. Here’s a look at 10 of those older K-dramas that you should definitely give a watch!

 

 

Full House

 

“Full House” stars a young Song Hye Kyo as Han Ji Eun and Rain as Lee Young Jae in this classic love story between a famous star and normal woman. The two decide to have a contract marriage while living in the same house. Although they’re technically married, they can’t stand each other. They eventually learn to coexist and start to develop feelings as they come to realize they can’t live without the other.

 

This adorable love story will have you longing for a similar romance to Ji Eun and Young Jae’s. Their love-hate relationship is heart-fluttering to see even though Young Jae can be mean at times. Their budding romance gives off serious chemistry, and you’ll also appreciate the aegyo Song Hye Kyo has in the series!

 

Here’s a glimpse:

***Lucky this IGier who's able to have a picture with RAIN. She said in the message that RAIN was with his Manager & she asked him if she could take a photo with RAIN  but he said sorry in a nice way.  RAIN heard it & said it's OK & said yes.  -

*** The news clip says that the bicycle used in the movie "Uhmbok-dong" was donated to the bicycle museum. IDK where but as far as I know  Sangju Bicycle Museum is the only bicycle museum in South Korea.

Google Translate doesn’t work that well to interpret from Korean to English, but I trust the translation of these sentences at the end of the article:

“He still looks like a lion. It is not a hungry young lion Simba, but Mufasa, who saves Savannah.”

Yes, that’s how I perceive him now, too.

 

(… the article ended like that because in the beginning, the reporter recalled how JYP described the teenager Jung Ji Hoon, who auditioned at JYPE 19 years ago, as “a lion just before starvation”…)

 

Though I have to rely on Google Translate for now, I like this article, hope to find a good English translation of it.

Hi hnfragile, thanks for sharing the link.  It talks about how Rain from being a singer becomes an actor as Jung Ji Hoon. “He still looks like a lion. It is not a hungry young lion Simba, but Mufasa, who saves Savannah.” - Like you, that's how I look/see in him, too. "Mufasa means "king" in Swahili". Savannah is the oldest city in the U.S. Lion is more intimidating. Its most common traits are: majesty, strength, & courage.  Hence the phrase Lion is the 'king of the jungle'. Ye, JYP said, that he remembers seeing Ji-hoon in the practice room looking like a lion full of hunger.  The article mentioned that bankrupt, RAIN's Dad left for Brazil, leaving Mrs Jung, who was ailing from diabetes, to support the family as a food vendor.  JYP said that he gives an impression of sadness when he’s dancing. He said that he cannot give up on RAIN because his stage presence was very strong and intense, and he felt saddened somewhere.  The article also mentioned that in 2003, he unexpectedly challenged acting by debuting in a drama titled, "Sangdoo: Let's go to School."   It is a work by Lee Kyung-Hee who writes <Sorry, I love you>> and <A Love to Kill > whom he reunited.  RAIN said that at that time, he was reluctant to act. Everyone was opposed to it. But, he wanted to do it since he also studied drama in his school days, and he had stage experience, too. He read the drama synopsis and he pushed it.  The article also mentioned that the first Korean movie he did was Park Chan-wook's <I'm Cyborg but it's okay>, and his first overseas film was Wachowski's <Speed Racer>. In 2009, he starred solo starring in the Hollywood movie "Ninja Assassin". RAIN said - "If you're a singer and an actor, there are things you cannot do. For movies, I have to spend at least six months to a year, and it is not easy to give time to do an album. “- The rest it talked about the movie "Uhmbok-dong", RAIN Company, The Unit: Idol Rebooting Project & the "good news" that his wife KTH is pregnant with his 2nd child.
