MC Kim Won Hee asks what events Jisuk participated in. Jisuk answers, "In the National Competition events".

To entice other guests of the program,

MC Kim Won Hee asks Jisuk's records of sports contests. Jisuk answers,

"My record of 200M was 21 seconds (the current world record is 19:30 seconds)

and 100M was 10:70 seconds (the current world record is 9:69 seconds)."

MC Kim Won Hee asks if Jisuk ever uses his running skill in any filming.

Jisuk answers, "In filming one scene of the drama 'Pure 19', I had to chase a taxi (the screen shows Episode 112 in which Jisuk chased a taxi)."

"The speed difference between the taxi's and mine was about 1000M and it was hard for the filming camera to film the scene."

His remarks make Kim Min Joon laugh.

[info] How to register on KBS website

To register with KBS as a foreigner, please go to the following link:

https://sso.kbs.co.kr/Eng/Join/Join_Permiss...F&u_ch=True

Then everything is self-explanatory.

I registered with KBS in 2002. At that time, it took about 3 days for KBS to verify my data. I don't know if KBS changes its policy now or not. Please try it.

Yup, same here. I miss his impressive performance with his peculiar style of acting. His new management agency has relationships with KBS, MBC, SBS, “Kim Jong Hak Production”, etc. I hope that his agency will find a “good” drama or movie for him in the near future.

[News] Suh Ji Suk’s Popularity Soars in Japan after the broadcasting of “Pure 19”

Source: http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno...34927&nvr=y

(my translation)

[Asia Economy] 7/7/2009

Suh Ji Suk’s popularity soars in Japan and is currently emerging as a new ‘Korean Wave” star.

He has already become very popular in Taiwan after his KBS1 daily drama “Pure 19” was aired there. Now, he attracts great attentions in Japan after the drama has been broadcasted in Japan for 5 times.

SJS is well known for his “Mr. Manager” role in the drama. Many Japanese fans have heated reactions to him including inquiring his management agency the address to send their fan letters. His popularity could be felt by the great numbers of Japanese membership registered at his homepage opened by his new management agency.

SJS, costarring with Goo Hye Sun, enjoyed high popularity as a “Man who's more beautiful than flowers (꽃보다 남자)” when “Pure 19” was aired in Korea and scored very high TV ratings. In the drama, he played a manager who quietly helped the heroine played by Goo Hye Sun, which made him extremely popular.

For the last fan meeting held in May to welcome his completion of the military service, it was inevitable to put a limit on the number of applicants due to too many Japanese fans applied to attend the event.

His management agency is planning for his comeback to dramas and visiting Japan to move him up to a star of the next Korean Wave.

In the meantime, he has attracted viewers’ attentions when he revealed his past as a ‘Track & Field” athlete via “Come To Play – Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Won Hee Show”, which is his first comeback to the TV programs.

Ha Ha… It seems that we have telepathy… same here! When I read the summary of the drama, I told myself, “The lead actor should be Suh Ji Suk who are really good at playing soccer!” I just read a news report mentioning that the lead actress Han Ga In withdrew from the casting because Kim Rae Won’s withdrawal from this drama.

Anyway, I hope that Jisuk selects a “well produced drama with a good script” as his comeback drama. We’ll see!

thanks again for updates cindy... be looking out for star golden bell and happy to hear his popularity soaring in japan and taiwan

You are welcome. The program probably will be aired early August. As soon as I learn the broadcasting date, I will post here.
