5 Korean Actors Whose Careers Almost Got Ruined By Fake Scandals

Numbers 1 and 3 are just crazy.

 

 

 

 

2. Lee Dong Wook

 

The Shincheonji church has gotten a pretty negative image in South Korea due to their role in spreading the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country.  During the time, many rumors started spreading about celebrities who were associated with the Shincheonji church, one of them being Lee Dong Wook.

 

Lee Dong Wook’s agency, King Kong Entertainment, was quick to make a statement about the false rumors.

Hello, this is King Kong by Starship.

Recently we have been able to confirm that false rumors about our artist (Lee Dong Wook) are being spread, about him being involved in a special religious sect.

In relation to this, we plan on taking strict legal action against the source of these baseless rumors, malicious slander, and comments that are defaming our artist’s character. We will also be taking legal action against anyone who shows the behavior of spreading or reproducing these rumors that deface our artist’s character and good image.

We will continue to actively monitor the situation so no further damage will happen. We will do our best to protect our artists by pursuing strict legal action without any settlements.

Thank you for loving and supporting our artists.

LIM Soo-jung and LEE Dong-wook Contemplating being SINGLE IN SEOUL

 

 

 

LIM Soo-jung and LEE Dong-wook are mulling a return to the big screen in the upcoming romantic drama Single in Seoul (literal title). Agencies for both stars have indicated the actors have received offers and are looking upon them favorably. The film will be directed by PARK Bum-su, a filmmaker who previously gained attention for the romantic comedy Red Carpet (2014).

 

The story follows two very different singles who meet through a work project. LIM is in talks to play Hyun-jin, an editor in charge of a series of essays entitled ‘Single in the City’. Meanwhile LEE has been offered the part of Young-ho, a freewheeling bachelor who is a popular influencer and lecturer. He is one of the writers penning an essay for Hyun-jin, but he also happens to be her college senior.

 

LIM Soo-jung, known for classics such as KIM Jee-woon’s A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), PARK Chan-wook’s I’m a Cyborg, but That’s OK (2006) and HUR Jin-ho’s Happiness (2007), most recently appeared in the indie drama Mothers (2018), another Myung Films project.

 

LEE Dong-wook is a popular star mostly known for his TV work, including a supporting role in the 2019 series ‘Search: WWW’, which featured LIM in the lead. He has also occasionally appeared on the big screen, in films such as The Recipe (2010) and The Beauty Inside (2015). 

 

Prior to Red Carpet (2014), which starred YOON Kye-sang and GO Joon-hee, PARK wrote the dramatisation for BONG Man-dae’s comedy Sex, Lies, and Videotape (2012).

 

Single in Seoul is scheduled to go before cameras this summer once casting has been completed. Lotte Entertainment is in discussions to come on board as financier and distributor.

Five Korean heartthrobs still dashing and elegant in 40s

 

 

The artists born in 1981 have all turned 40 this year. This means that they are in the age when nothing can delude them; they don't bother too much about the affairs of this world, and thus nothing can impair their judgment or puzzle them.

However, there are still actors who are in their 40s but still look dashing like young men in their 20s. These main characters are no other than Kang Dong Won, Kim Rae Won, Lee Dong Wook, Lee Jin Wook, and Jo In Sung (in Hangeul alphabet order).

Below are the heartthrobs that have been conquering the hearts of female audiences with timeless handsomeness defying the passage of time.

 

◼︎ Lee Dong Wook

What does this man eat to make him ageless like this after all? Born on November 6, 1981, Lee Dong Wook has debuted since 1999, but he still boasts the nice-looking appearance of a 20-year-old man.

Commented to be "boy over flowers", Lee Dong Wook wins females' hearts with his innate fair complexion. Thanks to his tactful eloquence and talented acting, Lee Dong Wook - the guy with a radiant visual and flawless skin - is also working enthusiastically as an MC on various variety shows.
