In the Department of Mon-Tue dramas… Between the dominance of "Jumong", "My Man's woman", "Coffee Prince", KBS was doomed, "Oh my God, What should we do?"
This year's KBS and SBS Mon-Tue dramas had a period of dark age due to MBC "Jumong". Strictly speaking, "Jumong" is the 'Old' drama, which began on 15th May 2006 and its leading actor Song Il-gook received a Grand Prize in 2006 MBC Drama Awards for his excellent performance.

 Sometimes in life you just have to admit your wrong-doings ― even if you are a big star. Last Saturday, veteran actor Yoo Dong-geun, 51, publicly apologized for assaulting two members of staff on the SBS TV drama "The King and I", a story about a loyal eunuch during the Joseon Dynasty. He said he was trying to support his wife, Jeon In-hwa, 42, who stars in the drama as King Seongjong's mother.
Yoo was enraged because the scripts were turned in late, which exhausted Jeon. He visited the set and had a bust-up with two of the producers, Kim Yong-woo, who took four weeks to recover, and Lee Chang-woo, whose jaw was hurt.
Yoo went into hiding after the incident. Kim and Lee, supported by the SBS Producers' Association and Producer Journal demanded that Yoo apologize and admit responsibility.
It took Yoo two weeks to apologize officially. He visited the set and offered a bow to Kim Young-seon, the vice chairman of a joint labor union for Korean stations. "Yoo said that he had bee...| More |

Popsters go solo to ride Korean Wave
One of the most conspicuous phenomena of 2006 was the "going-solo" trend among former boy band and girl band members. In fact, this year's K-pop scene has been crowded with what seems like an endless procession of "first solo albums".
Son Ho-young and Kim Tae-wu, former members of now disbanded G.O.D., released their solo debut albums in October, only a few weeks apart. Son has taken a sexier image with his debut album "Yes", which features a mixture of R&B and hip-hop tracks, while Kim showed off his strong vocals in his album "Solo Special". Aside from those two, Jun Jin of all-male pop group Shinhwa, Brian of male R&B duo Fly to the Sky, former Baby Vox member Kan Mi-youn and girl group Sugar's Ayoomi stood alone as solo singers this year. Unlike G.O.D., whose members went solo after their groups disbanded, several members of Shinhwa have taken on solo careers while their group is enjoying a hiatus.
Encouraged by K-pop's massive success ...| More |
