Key East Entertainment to venture into the Chinese market

On July 30th, Key East Entertainment took its first major step into the Chinese market by signing a contract with Chinese entertainment agency Star Lake Agency. Through the contract, Key East Entertainment will be able to allow its stars to promote actively in China with the assistance of Star Lake Agency.

Key East houses many large names including actor Bae Yongjoon, singer and actor Kim Hyunjoong, actress Lim Soojung, actor Joo Jihoon, actor Kim Soohyun, and actress Choi Kanghee. Thus, the contract with Star Lake Agency will significantly further the popularity of Key East’s stars in China.

Regarding the contract, Key East stated, “Artists in our company, such as Joo Jihoon, Kim Soohyun, and Kim Hyunjoong, barely have any opportunities to promote in China, but we discovered through SNS that they are extremely popular there. For example, Kim Hyunjoong, who opened a Weibo this past June, has over 230,000 followers. This number was way beyond our expectations. Therefore, we are really excited to see what will happen once we begin working with Star Lake Agency.”

Key East will be working with Star Lake Agency to promote their stars through websites, cell phone texts, and other digital means.

[한류人재팬]배용준-김수현, 세대 뛰어넘은 한류 스타들의 우정
| 기사입력 2012-07-29 09:31



[OSEN=윤가이 기자] '원조 한류스타' 배용준과 '차세대 한류스타' 김수현이 세대를 뛰어 넘은 아름다운 우정을 쌓고 있다.

배 용준과 김수현은 같은 소속사 키이스트의 대표와 소속 배우 사이. 하지만 두 사람은 단순히 대표와 소속 배우 혹은 연기 선후배 사이를 넘어서는 절친한 형제가 됐다. 두 사람은 무려 16살의 나이차에다가 연기 경력으로 따져도 어마어마한 연차가 나지만 한 소속사에 몸을 담으면서 자연스럽게 친분을 나누게 됐다.

키이스트 한 관계자에 따르면 두 사람도 초반에는 얼굴조차 자주 볼 기회가 없었다. 키이스트에는 유명 배우는 물론 신인 연기자까지 워낙 많은 소속 연예인들이 있기 때문에 배용준이 일일이 그들과 친분을 다지고 작업을 하기란 쉽지 않다고.

하지만 김수현이 키이스트로 들어온 후 단연 돋보이는 연기력과 스타성으로

대중의 인정을 받기 시작하면서 배용준 역시 그를 더욱 눈여겨보기 시작한 것이다. '드림하이'에 이어 '해를 품은 달' 등 드라마 두 편을 거치며 괄목할 만한 성장을 보여준 후배 김수현에게 애착을 가지는 건 선배로서는 당연한 감정일 수밖에 없다. 또 배용준이 걸어온 것처럼 김수현 역시 최근 일본에서 선풍적인 인기를 모으며 차세대 한류 프린스의 입지를 다지고 있는 만큼 정서적으로도 서로 공유할 수 있는 지점이 많다는 게 측근들의 얘기다.

한 관계자는 "처음에는 김수현이 대선배이자 회사 대표인 배용준을 무척 어렵게 느꼈다"며 "그러나 시간이 지나면서 자연스럽게 친해졌고 지금은 누구보다 서로 아끼고 의지하는 사이다. 형, 동생하면서 편안하게 만나고 김수현이 배용준으로부터 많은 조언을 구하면서 아주 훈훈하게 지낸다"고 전했다.

김수현은 바쁜 스케줄 속에서도 여유가 날 때면 배용준의 집에 놀러가 함께 식사를 하거나 차를 마시고, 컴퓨터 게임을 즐기는 등 여가를 보낸다. 배용준도 영화 VIP 시사회장을 찾을 때 본인의 차량에 직접 김수현을 태워 동행하는 등 남다른 애정을 보인다는 후문.

관 계자는 "두 사람이 나이도 연차도 큰 차이가 나지만 의외로 많은 공감대를 형성하는 것 같다"며 "특히 아직 신인인 김수현 입장에서 선배인 배용준에게 배우로서 많은 가르침과 도움을 받을 수 있는 것 같다. 곁에서 보면 참으로 훈훈한 관계다"고 귀띔했다.

한편 김수현은 영화 '도둑들'(감독 최동훈 개봉으로 또 한 번의 대박 흥행을 예고하고 있으며 드라마 '해를 품은 달'과 '드림하이' 등을 통해 일본에서도 인기를 모아가고 있다.

Friendship between Original Hallyu star Bae Yong Jun and next generation star Kim Soo Hyun go beyond age

Kim Soo Hyun is affiliated in the management company Keyeast owned by Bae Yong Jun . However, their relationship isn’t simply just between a representative and an actor but rather they are close as brothers.  The two has an age gap of 16 years.

An official of Keyeast revealed, originally the two hardly have a chance to meet. Due to the famous actor in Keyeast, even the novice is also very much support so it is not easy to Bae Yong Jun can be friends with everyone.
However, after joining Keyeast, with outstanding acting abilities and met the expectations of a star, Kim Soo Hyun started receiving recognition from other people. From there, he is also getting more attention from Bae Yong Jun. Kim Soo Hyun's performance  in "Dream High," and "The Moon Embracing The Sun" also led many people to be amazed. Kim So Hyun is also getting a lot of attention in Japan recently and regarded as the next generation Korean Prince after Bae Yong Jun.

Another official said, "At first, Bae Yong Jun is simply Kim So Hyun's predecessor and boss. However, as time passed by, they become more close and now these two people formed a deep friendship. They often meet each other comfortably like two brothers. Kim Soo Hyun also received a lot of encouragement and advice from Bae Yong Jun.
Though Kim Soo Hyun has a busy schedule, during his free time, he is said to be going to Bae Yong Jun's  house and have dinner (meal), drink tea and play video games with him. Kim Soo Hyun was also rumoured to have ridden on Bae Yong Jun's Maybach car accompanying the latter attending VIP movie screenings. (damsu: not sure what movie though).

Another official said, "Although there is a big difference in their age but surprisingly have a lot of consensus . At the same time said, for a newcomer like Kim Soo Hyun, the experience of predecessors such as Bae Yong Jun would help him a lot. The relationship between Bae Yong Jun and Kim Soo Hyun is truly a harmony.
Also, the movie "The Thieves" starring Kim Soo Hyun is also being released in theaters and is expected to set new box office record explosive.
