Actor Ryu Seung-beom Volunteers in Thailand for 10 Days

Actor Ryu Seung-beom is in Thailand to help needy children.

According to Plan Korea, an international children's charity organization, Ryu will visit Thailand from March 11 to March 19 with photographer Hong Jang-hyun. They will stay with a local family in Chiang Rai and help locals fix their furnaces, chicken cages and pigpens. They will also spend time with the local children, watching movies together and taking their photos.

Ryu also plans to take part in the drinking water development construction project being organized by Plan Korea as well as participate in a special athletic meet for children.

Plan Korea said prior to his departure for Thailand, Ryu told reporters that he planned to spend quality time with the Thai children and return with good memories.

[Guest nchristi]

Thanks Melusine and Rubie for the articles and videos on Ryu Seung-Beom. I absolutely love the video interview of him plugging "Radio Days" on the Cine21 site. He has the most fascinating eyes, mouth and way of speaking. Very sweet, too. I've always liked the way he looks but lately with his longer hair he has become quite handsome—almost more than I can stand! Just love his face and personality. Seems he has mellowed out somewhat from recent interviews I've seen and is quite serious about helping others who are disadvantaged.

Do I ever wish we had some translations of those articles/interviews! But I'll settle for the pix. Can't be too greedy!

(I would love to d/l the Cine21 video so I can watch it easily whenever I wish, but can't figure out how to do it. Maybe it isn't possible?? But I'm no computer whiz, so probably just don't know how.)

RSB's been pretty active in the club scene lately, looks like he really enjoys DJ-ing.

And he wrote on his cyworld below this pic:

'자유를 위해 건배....' (Cheers to freedom)

from Dramabeans:

Summer Days "crosses over" into more branded entertainment

Cast and crew gathered on July 15 for the press conference and screening of Summer Days. They're calling this one a "crossover" film, but it's not so much a film as it is yet more branded entertainment. They're starting the branding with the description itself, calling it an "XNOTE crossover film", XNOTE being a laptop put out by LG Electronics.

As I've mentioned before (regarding Anycall's music videos, Anyband's project group, Jang Geun-seok's hair-product music video, and So Ji-sub's cable-TV commercial), Korea's got a way with branded entertainment. Western entertainment may produce engaging commercials, but they're still always commercials first and foremost. Product placement is rampant and increasing everywhere (a friend who works on a U.S. television show tells me the writers routinely get notes from the studio about writing storylines around whichever cell phone they've got contracts with), but this kind of elaborate branding is something Korea's integrated much more thoroughly (dare I say insidiously?).

Summer Days, for instance, is touted as ad campaign, short film, drama and music video all rolled into one, to unfold in seven episodes (each approx 4 minutes long; total running time is 30 minutes). They've brought on CF director Jo Won-seok and hired music director Yoo Hee-yeol, aka the singer-songwriter also recording under the name Toy. On top of that, we have three name actors, Hyun Bin, Shin Mina, and Ryu Seung-beom, acting out this adver-story about "love, friendship and conflict."”

In the "plot", Ryu Seung-beom plays a "cheerful programmer", Hyun Bin is an elegant architect, and Shin Mina takes on the role of a stylish film columnist. The first episode is titled "Morning After the Rain" and the second "The First Day of Summer" (wherein the three characters meet, unfolding like a short film). The third is called "A Day with Loud Cicadas" (featuring the notebook in a commercial-like format), and the fourth titled "A Day the Summer Breeze Blows" (a travel-themed music-video-like segment featuring a Yoo Hee-yeol song, "My Happy Day", sung by Shin Mina). The fifth episode, "Tropical Night", features the split between the three characters; the sixth is "Summer Night, Summer Day", leading into the last segment, "The Day Before Autumn Starts".

[...]

The LG XNOTE campaign launches mid-August via the Internet, broadcast television, cable TV, in theaters and in stores.

First things first: Cheers to ay_link and the WITHS2 gang! When I first heard about 'Summer Days', I'd initially resigned myself to not understanding the dialogue and just picking up context clues (as I do with most CFs/MVs/shorts). But you guys came charging on your white steed like a K-drama Prince Charming and made watching this infinitely better. So thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys rock.

Teaser trailers and posters for "Dajjimawa Lee: The Orient Espionage" are out!!! Woot woot!!!

As a big fan of Ryu SeungWan and the original 2000 short (which is a smorgasbord of (deliberately) bad dubbing+cheesy dialogue+over-the-top acting+comedy+action), I am anticipating this like crazy. The first teaser is hilarious (as expected) and v.v. slick (unlike the low-budget look of the short); hmm I wonder if RSW will be parodying Bond flicks in addition to macho 70s action genre (or if this was just for the trailer). The 2 girls look sexy as hell, and gawd I heart Im WonHee as the Most Incongruous Spy Evaaah (I heart you too Steve Carell, but no comparisons to "Get Smart" please).

"Mnet 20's Choice" is a music festival and ceremony with awards for pop culture icons chosen by the trend-setting public in their twenties. [KBS Global]

http://choice.mnet.com/2008/vote.asp

RSB won 'Hot Fashionista' at the 2nd Mnet 20's Choice Awards held on Aug 23 at Seoul's Jangchung Stadium from 5-10pm.

[Watch online]

He sent in a video of his acceptance speech (saying that though he could think of lots more guys who were more fashionable than he was, he was nevertheless happy and grateful for winning, and that the more an actor looks good, the more he'll find work) so everyone assumed he wasn't there. But! Then! A masked man leapt onstage, whipped off his mask...and ta-da!

News / News / News / News / News / News / News / News / News / News / News / News / News / News

He then left hurriedly after accepting his trophy, leaving presenters DJ DOC (Lee HaNeul and Jung JaeYong--longtime friends of RSB's) to joke to the audience "(류)승범이가 왜 이렇게 버릇이 없어졌지?" (Why does SeungBeom have a habit of disappearing?)
