Usually the actors say beforehand if they’ll gonna attend or not ? I’m already her fan like for seven years since that I’ve started watching dramas but until 2018 I never was able to watch the awards so I would be glad if someone could answer me this question  thanks.

 

Her agency MSTeam updates her ‘official’ schedule on their homepage (it’s where fans find out what she’ll be doing - has a photo shoot, attends a movie VIP premiere, shooting a movie/drama/commercial, etc)

http://www.msteam.co.kr/hamil/Club/Schedule/ScheduleList.asp
 

For other celebrities, their agencies would post their schedules or news reports would mention the stars who confirm their attendance; it depends on the stars/agencies, sometimes we don’t even know until the actual event. Soompi used to be very active back then, we had an award thread created for every single event (year-end drama awards, major film awards or festivals); it was a lot of fun since many members would join in for pictures, discussions, live updates, etc.  Members would post findings on who would attend.

[HanCinema's News] Son Ye-jin Participates in Gratitude Challenge

By William Schwartz
 

 

Son Ye-jin recently made a post on her Instagram account where she engaged in the Gratitude Challenge, which has been popular on South Korean social media lately. Son Ye-jin singled out Song Yoon-ah and Lee Min-jung as persons whose work she has long admired and said that she wanted to greet them.

Son Ye-jin then moved on to thanking COVID-19 responders for doing their best to protect people in these difficult times. Son Ye-jin offered them a strong heartfelt thanks. She expressed respect for their toil and urged them to stay strong in the situation. Son Ye-Jin appeared in "Crash Landing on You"earlier this year. She has confirmed the feature film "Boston 1947" as her next project, but shooting has stalled due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

I’ve read in Binjin shippers forum that the filming of Boston 1947 is done, and sadly she’s not part of it. They said the writer of this article didn’t research well about it. Sad though.

Thanks @Helena for reconstructing Son Ye Jin soompi page.

 

Indeed!!! THANK YOU @Helena !!! For me who mostly lurks in the forum to be updated on SYJ projects/activities, the updating/reconstruction of the  page is like a gift. So thank you very much.

 

THANK YOU also to all those who contribute to this forum. Special thanks to those who translate articles, videos, etc.. For us international fans who do not speak hangul, your translations are  precious to us.

 

So happy with the Baeksang nomination of SYJ and the entire CLOY team. I hope SYJ takes home another trophy on June 5.

If I am not mistaken, it has been a looong time since SYJ was nominated in Baeksang for the TV category.  I know the competition  is really stiff but I am hoping that SYJ will still  win or bag the Daesang.

[Jbelr]

A newbie here, everything is first time for me, joining forums, SYJ’s social media accounts (following numbers of them, fans and personal) fan girling and a certified SYJ fan. Of course, started with CLOY but ended up adoring her. She’s a girl crush. I started reading this forum from Page 1 (Not yet done, apologies) and started learning more about her. It helped me seeing a summary of her works from the time she started (I’m still waiting for the ‘under construction parts’ to be completed, haha, take your time) Based on gazillions of write ups, interviews, features and many more, I may not be half way through it, however, she continues to amaze me. As to call my self a fan, I need to watch all her works and do my research. I still have a long list, especially her dramas but what amuses me, is the way she chose/chooses her projects. It involves women empowerment in all aspects, consciously or subconsciously. Based from what I’ve read here and other features, male counterparts continue to dominate KEnt industry, all over the world I must say, nevertheless, she continuously proves that women can do the same. I hope I don’t sound gender bias here, but seeing her works made me adore her more. She, having a wide range of experience in different genres, from a sweet innoncent girl to taking bolder roles, I’m not surprised. Since I haven’t watched all yet, I’m sure she’ll suprise me with the rest of the movies as I am surprised with the ones I finished especially White Night. I remembered reading or listening in one of her interviews that she wanted to explore herself more, indeed, she does and will continue to hone not only her skills but her confidence as well, with humility and respect which defines her, I take pride on that. I envy those who have known her for a longer time but it’s better late than never

 

Question though, any link where I can find an in depth analysis of MWGM, I read some but doesn’t satisfy me. If you have, please share directly 

 

And planning to send a food truck to her in the future hopefully together with the Philippines’ SYJ fans club. 

 

Thank you @Helena I discovered this forum. Thanks everyone!

the last was in 2007 for SBS drama ‘Alone in Love’ which was a major turning point for her. In an interview in 2008 (I need to look for this interview to share here), she was asked if she knew that 96% of her fans were males before ‘Alone in Love’.  She acknowledged it, she said that it was ‘Alone in Love’ that gained her the support of female audience.

They look YEARS younger than they actually are!

South Korea truly has no shortage of beautiful women. Among the most beautiful are, without a doubt, actresses born in the 70s and 80s. They may no longer be at what many consider the “prime” of their lives, but they are nonetheless as stunning as they were ten years ago!  In no particular order, below are 10 of the most beautiful actresses in South Korea!

I just watched The Classic yesterday. The great movie and SYJ was so cute in it. 

 

Her chemistry with Cho Seung Woo was great too. I hope someday they will reunite in drama or other movie.

Son Ye-Jin And Her Leading Men Through The Years

Hyun Bin, Jung Hae-in, Lee Min-ho, and Song Seung-heon are just four of the handsome and talented actors the "Queen of Melodrama" has worked with in her two-decade career as an actress

Son Ye-jin has a universal appeal that helps maintain her long-running popularity. Both men and women appreciate her acting, be it on the small or big screen. The 38-year-old Hallyu star has found a niche in the Korean entertainment industry on a level that not a lot of Korean actresses have actually reached.

 

Culture critic Lee Moon-won pointed out as a reaction to the box-office success of her 2018 film Be With You: “Son Ye-jin’s fandom started with the explosive support of male fans, but it moved toward women with more stable ticketing power.”

 

While her latest K-Drama Crash Landing on You reached stratospheric heights and boosted her popularity on a global scale, Son Ye-jin’s filmography is packed with an interesting mix of TV shows and films. CLOY is a project that showcased not only her dramatic prowess but also her comedic timing, but as her 2018 movie The Negotiation (in which she also starred in with Hyun Bin) would prove, Son Ye-jin has a flair for more challenging, action-packed roles as well.

Son Ye Jin, “I wanted to love Jung Hae In, not dating in real life”

Actress Son Ye Jin speak up about the recent rumour of her having a romantic relationship with her fellow actor Jung Hae In.

Son Ye Jin recently did an interview on her latest drama ‘Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food’ that was held in Samcheon-Dong, Jongno, Seoul.

She has received a lot of praise for her realistic acting as a woman in her mid 30s who struggle between the love, marriage and work.

Son Ye Jin said, “I wanted to love because it was really important to me. I want to get helped from the other actors. Hae In was still a little doubtful as an actor since its his first time playing the main lead” She said and then she added, “Turned out he is doing very well. We shared a lot of scenes together and I can feel a strong harmony with him which is good” she said, praising the chemistry she has built with Jung Hae In.

But both Son Ye Jin and Jung Hae In showed an incredible chemistry that made the viewers suspicious that the two are dating in real life. Son Ye Jin then responded, “We’re not dating. Though I don’t know if we might dating” she said, mischievously leaving everyone in curiousity. Especially since Son Ye Jin finished ‘Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food’, she said, “I think I’ve changed my mind about dating guy who is younger than me. usually I’m not interested in dating the guy who is younger than me but now I think I kind of like it. The age, personality and other things don’t really matter to me. I like a guy who speaks well and communicate well with me” she said.

Hello, I'm a newbie here. I enjoyed reading your comments and thoughts about SYJ. I have been an avid fan of SYJ just recently after watching cloy. I'm just glad that i found a forum where I can share with same  excitements and sentiments for SYJ. I'm not a Kdrama fan or any related Korean arts. I haven't watched a full Kdrama even once before cloy. Even the first episode of cloy, I didn't watch it intently because of the feeling that I'm not into a Kdrama, but thanks to my family who was eager to watched cloy. I watched it over and over for nth time. . After watching cloy, I had a sepanx or hangover with it. I became a Kdrama fan and  a follower of SYJ instantly. She's the only korean actress that I knew and  some were thru their faces only.  I watched 10 of SYJ  movies and 4 Kdramas and the rest will follow if my time permits. 

 

 She had changed my daily routine and became a part of it.  After watching some of her movies and kdramas, I won't surprised that she bags best actress  in a prestigious awards, not only once but countless times.  She was such a talented actrees with no default acting. In every project, she offers a new one and you will expect another SYJ caliber.  Different genre and different attacks. For me, she's smart in choosing her projects, no wonder in her 20yrs in industry she's still on top. May be not all of her chosen projects were good but still, it did help in her career path and image that she's having now.

 

I watched many video clips of SYJ  from her Interviews, bts, awards nights and etc. After watching of those videos she had gained my respect.  I really admired and adored her . She's a strong and determined woman. She's not perfect definitely but she knows what she wants and she knows her boundaries. I liked her personality and the way she smile as if there's no tom.. 

 

She hasn't been in a dating scandal from the start, may be because of her strong personality. Based in my observation she is picky or has a high standards when it comes to boys.  Her first impression to HB was having a good skin and a nice hair. She even noticed it to  JHI  that has also a nice skin. May be skin and hair matters to her. 

 

I'm a binjin shipper but I love SYJ more than HB.  I love her also with Kim Nam Gil. Their closeness in bts during the Shark drama was so entertaining. Just so sad that KNG declined the offer for Pirate 2.

New year we are Asian will talk about horoscopes. Those who read horoscopes usually ask about love line or marriage date. There are many people curious about 2 hot people hb-yj's zodiac.

I'm a fan of both, and yj's fan since her debut. Even though they denied dating rumors, and this is my private channel, but if they happen to watch this clip, I say their zodiac signs are matching very well. 

Hyun Bin was born on September 25, 1982, which is the date of the Horse, the month of the Rooster, and the year of the Dog.

Son Ye Jin was born on January 11, 1982, which is the date of the Horse, the month of the Ox, and the year of the Rooster.

They are the same age, but according to the Chinese calendar, 1 is the year of the Dog and 1 is the year of Rooster. So they are extremely well-matched.   If they are not lovers right now, it's really good if hb pursues yj. They will compliment each other well and very precious to each other. Lady Samsil predicted in 2020 these two zodiac signs would get married. If they get married earlier, it's possible they will break up. So getting married late will be better. If the dating goes well this year, they can get married next year. Many knetz said they make a beautiful couple and support them. Right now both of them said they are not in that relationship which is causing a lot of disappointment. I support them together,  beautiful and talented couple. It's great if they are really dating. I may make Son Ye Jin uncomfortable for saying this --> if she's not dating, she will become like one of us (fortune tellers) . She is beautiful, good at acting, and her energy is strong. If her dating is going well, her tension will be loosened a bit. It will be amazing if both come together, lady Samsil said, and even better if they get married and have wonderful children.

Then the fortune teller talked about the idol couple just recently revealed by Dispatch after only 1 month dating KA and JE. He said people will throw rocks at him for saying this --> he predicted they will have to break up. They will not last long together as a couple according to their zodiac signs. You probably know the answer by now.

In conclusion, this fortune teller is really supporting hb-yj.

Last time there was another fortune teller said they will get married per their zodiac signs. Another one this time. They both have their own private channel so they must be 2 different fortune tellers  

The writer said their faces match well and their zodiac signs also match well...hb-yj...what you think 

I wonder what happened to this prediction? Is he a famous fortune teller in Korea?

Korean TV Hit Spellbinds Japanese in Lockdown

May 21, 2020

’

 

"Crash Landing on You," a hit drama series about the implausible love story between a South Korean heiress and a North Korean military officer, has been the most watched TV series in Japan on Netflix for three weeks in a row. 
 

The series wrapped up here in February to great acclaim but can now be streamed abroad.

 

Japan's Fuji TV cited the individual charms of stars Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, Japanese viewers' curiosity about life in North Korea, and sheer boredom in lockdown.

Young actors move to online platforms as TV producers woo bankable veterans

May 22, 2020
 

SEOUL, May 22 (Yonhap) -- Young actors and actresses in their 20s and early 30s have been losing their presence on the South Korean small screen as producers are not willing to take chances by casting new faces in marquee roles.

 

The fantasy romance "The King: Eternal Monarch," starring Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun, and the mystery drama "Born Again," starring Jang Ki-yong and Jin Se-yeon, seem to be the only two TV series led by young stars out of dozens of soap operas and shows currently on air in the country.

 

"The King," on SBS, was one of the most anticipated series in the first half of this year for its star-studded cast, including Lee, and renowned screenwriter Kim Eun-sook.

 

But its lower-than-expected viewership ratings, which marked 6.5 percent for its ninth episode that aired last week, have seemingly hurt the yearslong reputation of Lee, 32, who has been known as a highly trusted commodity when it comes to dramas.

 

Viewership of KBS' "Born Again" has been hovering around 2 percent since it first aired in late April.

 

Moreover, TV dramas starring young actors and actresses, such as KBS' fantasy romance "Welcome" and tvN's romance "A Piece of Your Mind," both of which ended last month, received poor viewership ratings of 1 percent and soon disappeared from viewers' consciousness.

 

On the other hand, this year's hit TV series, including tvN's romantic comedy "Crash Landing On You," JTBC's melodrama "The World of the Married" and the medical drama "Hospital Playlist" on tvN, feature long-running stars, like Hyun Bin, Son Ye-jin, Kim Hee-ae and Jo Jung-suk.

 

This trend of young rising stars being upstaged by veterans is not new on the South Korean entertainment scene.

 

A few years ago, rookie actors, like Yang Se-jong, Woo Do-hwan and Jang Ki-yong, found stardom stars after their performances in sleeper hits, like "Temperature of Love," "Mad Dog" and "Come And Hug Me," respectively.

 

Since then, however, they remained as diamonds in the rough, without finding roles as principals in hit shows.

 

Experts said the increasing age of lead actors is largely attributable to a rise in production costs and fiercer competition in the TV industry.

 

"Producers and TV stations tend to choose a safer strategy," culture critic Park Ji-jong said. "They try not to take the risk of casting ham actors or actresses with unreliable acting skills and public recognition."

 

As a result, new platforms, such as Netflix, have become an opportunity for novice actors and beginners to start their acting careers.

 

Kim Dong-hee and Park Ju-hyun caught the eyes of many viewers in the teen crime drama "Extracurricular," a Korean Netflix original, for their better-than-expected acting skills.

 

"Young entertainers eye Netflix that can afford big-budget series and doesn't care about viewership or web-based drama studios, which seek future potential," Park, the culture critic, said.

Son Ye-Jin Has A License To Teach This Workout She's Been Doing For Over 10 Years!

Just when you thought you knew everything to know about her, we give you yet another reason to fall in love!

Son Ye-Jin has been having quite a year! From starring as Yoon Se-ri in one of the year's biggest and highest rated K-Dramas 'Crash Landing on You', to eventually being nominated for Best Actress at the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards for the said role, it's safe to say she is one of the most celebrated South Korean actresses today.

 

The 38-year old superstar has grown gracefully through the years, and with 20 years of showbiz experience under her belt, surely the journey could not have been a walk in the park. One thing we're sure of though, is that she has evolved into becoming one of the most respected actresses of her time. At 38 years old, she surely maintains an ageless face and physique, making her one of our icons for beauty.

It comes as no surprise that Son Ye-jin has had her fair share of cosmetics endorsements, including skincare products and tools that showcase her ageless face—from MISSHA, to Man:yo Factory, to Vanav and Skin, Inc. 

 

Little has been said about her fitness routines, as she doesn't really share these kinds of updates on her Instagram account. But did you know that in fact, Ye-Jin has been religiously doing a certain type of workout for over 10 years now? Yes—you read that right, 10 years of regular workouts. This makes sense now, for her model-esque figure definitely tells us that she puts in hard work to maintain her lean and long physique. 

In an episode of Master in the House (SBS), Ye-jin shares her love for pilates and TRX, and even wows her companions in the show as she reveals that she, is in fact, a licensed instructor (she got her license about eight years ago), and is allowed to teach such workouts if she wants to! Now this puts her high up our girl crush list for sure!

 

In the episode, she demonstrates some TRX moves, an upside-down pilates pose on the trapeze table/Cadillac machine, and flexible, dance-like movements on another machine. The guys, including actor/singers Lee Seung-gi and Yook Sungjae, are in awe of how beautiful Ye-jin looks as she does each move, and feels challenged to try each one out!

TRX, or Total Resistance Exercises, is a form of suspension training that targets different muscle groups, to tone and create a strong core. It's a total body workout that's low-impact yet effective in whipping your body in shape. It helps build balance, strength, coordination, flexibility, as well as core and joint stability.

 

Pilates, on the other hand is similar in the sense that it trains a body's flexibility, is low-impact, and builds muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates teaches proper postural alignment, too. 

 

Ye-jin loves these workouts so much, she even admitted to being in this workout studio more often than her own home! Check out how passionate Ye-jin is as she shares her love for working out in the videos below:

[PICK] Korean Romance Movies that Will Make You Want to Fall in Love
 

Edited by Hong Hyun Jung | Translated by Kim Hoyeun | By krishkim 

 

Though it has calmed down, the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing. With the restriction of external activities, the possibility of psychological difficulties has increased. So, in such times, why don’t we indulge ourselves in sweet and exciting romance movies for a change?

It’s a heartwarming romance completed with a fairytale-like pure emotion. It depicts the pure communion between lonely Soon Yi, who closed her heart to the world, and a wild, rough, but strangely loving wolf boy. The charming combination of Park Bo Young and Song Joong Ki and beautiful cinematic beauty made the viewers laugh and cry with the story. At the time of the release, the movie attracted 6.6 million viewers, receiving enthusiastic responses from female audiences.
