Shim Eun-ha (심은하)

Kim Tae-hee 'Eyes', Han Ga-in 'Nose', Song Hye-kyo 'Mouth'

It's a world full of beauties. If you turn on the television, the screen is vividly filled with well-defined faces. The internet is full of regular people who are known for their beautiful faces or bodies. Beauty marketing is everywhere, and it has been a long time since beauty has become a way to judge a person.

But everyone has different tastes. The opinions about Miss Korea, the beauties that represent Korea, even differ. Even the words to describe beauty are different, such as innocent, sexy, and elegant. It means there is no ultimate standard for beauty. We chose the best beauties by body parts by asking ten famous plastic surgeons in Korea. In order to help readers understand better, we restricted the choices to famous females.

Eyes = Kim Tae-hee (8 votes)
Kim Tae-hee received most votes. Her eyes are large, bright, and give a fresh impression. Plastic surgeon Jeong In-seon, who is famous for eye surgeries, said, "Beautiful eyes are big and refreshing and the pupils must b...| More

The power of words, jewels that give dramas life

2008/06/19 | Source | Permalink |

If one word repays a thousand debts, then one word makes a drama shine.

In KBS "DdukBaeGi" on the 11th, Man-bong (Kang Kyeong-joon), who is accused of stealing a wallet, states his innocence. He says, "I'm a fan of Na Hoon-ah. There's something I learned from him, and I will show you", and unzips his pants. The lines parody a scene from Na Hoon-ah's recent press conference.

The fitting lines that make us slap our knees unknowingly. Because of Man-bong's one line, "DdukBaeGi" feels newer.

Many dramas have produced well-known lines. The most well-known is 'I'll break it all', by Shim Eun-ha in "Trap of Youth", 'Are you hurting? I'm hurting too', by Lee Seo-jin in "Damo", 'You're inside here', by Lee Dong-geon in "Lovers in Paris", and 'Look at your state', by Han Ye-seul in "Fantastic Couple". There are more, too many to list.

"On Air", a drama that outlined the truth of working in a broadcasting company, had many famous lines. "How are there double winners for the best award...| More

Stars aligning for the Year of the Rat

2008/02/06 | Permalink |

Apart from being famous worldwide, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Al Gore and Zinedine Zidane have one other thing in common -- they were born in the Year of the Rat, according to the traditional zodiac system still widely used in Korea.

With the first day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow, rats, the first among the 12 animals in the zodiac, symbolize diligence, fecundity and cleverness. Kim Hoon, a top-rated writer, was born in the rat year, and nobody questions his diligence.

Forget dirty, germ-spreading rodents because the zodiac only focuses on the positive traits of each animal. There are plenty of role models for those who identify themselves with the rodent. Mickey Mouse is a fine example. Or Remy of "Ratatouille", a young rat who cooks delicious meals at a French restaurant.

Since there are only 12 animals, it is hardly surprising that Korea has many celebrities who were born in the Year of the Rat. But what's unusual is that many of today's leading stars, now in their mid-30s, we...| More

Born in the Year of the Rat

2007/12/31 | Source | Permalink |

In the Year of the Rat, Korean pop culture is led by those born in another, in 1972. Coincidence or cosmic determination? Readers may decide for themselves. Known as the "president of culture" in the 1990s, Seo Tai-ji releasef his 15th anniversary album in November in a limited edition of 15,000 copies that sold out in no time. He plans to make a comeback after four quiet years next year.

Actor Bae Yong-joon is so popular in Japan that he was nicknamed "Yonsama" there after he captured the hearts of Japanese women with his role in uber-soap "Winter Sonata. He recently renewed his appeal when he played Great King Gwanggaeto the Great of the Koguryo Kingdom in period drama "Taewangsashingi (The Four Guardian Gods of the King)", which, unusually for a series, is even being shown in theaters in Japan, before it airs on NHK next April. Can we feel another craze coming on?

Singer and producer Park Jin-young not only produced the debut album of five-girl group "Wonder Girls", whose song...| More
