When Lee Eun-hye, 24, a college student went on a trip to South America she certainly didn't expect this. Every time she introduced herself as a Korean, the locals would greet her eagerly, mentioning the Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum" (English title "Jewel in the Palace") and the lead actress Lee Young-ae. The same thing happened in Japan and China. People there would list the names of Korean celebrities like Bae Yong-joon and ask her about the latest news in Korean entertainment.
She also met people who were studying Korean during her stay in Paraguay. When asked what motivated them to study the language, some told her the Korean dramas they watch made them feel close to Korean culture. Others found Hangeul (Korean characters) cool.
Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, has so far done more than enough to upgrade Korea's image, with television drama content leading the way. One of Korea's best hit dramas was "Winter Sonata" (2003). It starred Bae Yong-joon and its popularity in Japan became...| More
Enjoy the beauty of the Korean landscape through the photographic pilgrimage of Bae Yong-joon, a major Hallyu star. With the launch of his book, "Journey in Search of Korea's Beauty", Bae talked about how "the journey" began. "When asked by a foreign reporter to recommend some famous sites around Korea, I was embarrassed that I couldn't answer the question".
Rather than simply enjoying the sights, Bae began his journey with the aim of better understanding the true essence of Korea: its culture, arts and tradition. He explored 13 different themes on his journey, met with the masters of each theme and tried it out for himself. His documentation of his adventures is written so candidly that it's almost as if the reader can hear Bae's voice telling the story. As a major Hallyu star familiar with a variety of different cultures, Bae was able to pinpoint 13 themes of Korean culture that many Korean...| More
Actress Jang Sin-yeong has applied for divorce after nearly three years of marriage.
Jang, 25, attributed her request to the wide gap in character with her husband. But press reports blamed the mounting debt of her businessman husband, identified only as Wi, 33, for the couple's breakup.
An acquaintance of Jang was quoted as saying, "Wi had been struggling with a lot of debt owing to business failures. They tried, in vain, to avoid divorce in consideration of their son".
Wi reportedly reached a final decision on divorce out of fear that his debt might affect Jang's acting career negatively.
Wi had been working for BOF (Boundaries of Forest), hallyu (Korean wave) star Bae Yong-joon's agency, as a marketing director before starting his own business dealing in baby items after marriage. But his business went from bad to worse amid snowballing debt.
The couple separated eight months ago and their three-year-old child will be in Jang's custody.
Top hallyu star Bae Yong-joon cut short his stay in Japan and returned home earlier than scheduled due to a sudden deterioration in his health, his agency BOF said.
Bae came home Friday, cancelling some events to meet with his fans. He was originally scheduled to stay there until Sunday.
His agency said the actor seemed to have overworked during his stay in Japan to promote his book "A Journey in Search of Korean Beauty" and the animated version of the mega-hit TV drama "Winter Sonata" he starred in.
Bae, diagnosed with a drop in his blood sugar level and blood pressure, was advised to relax for a while by doctors after his return. He has shown improvement after resting the past days, his agency said, adding he will undergo a medical checkup soon to see whether he needs to be hospitalized.
The 37-year-old actor shed more than 10 kilograms during his travels around the country for the compilation of essays on Korean culture and travel.
Actor Bae Yong-joon had just finised the Tokyodom Event last 29th and 30th with success. However, on the 2nd of October Bae's health had to return to Korea quickly because of his health.
Bae had schedules to shoot a magazine shoot until the 4th but had to cancel because of health conditions.

Rumors are everywhere. Getting in to settel down is so very easy.

Always stay healthy and happy.
Enjoy yourself while you are still you as an actor and multi millionair.
Anywhere you want to be there hope you could find your true happiness.

From maikomich@yahoo.com
Dear Mr Bae
Guess you need not act so much as you have made it in the business world. Good for you and I hope you will help those who are really in need. May the Lord guide you always in your undertakings. Be yourself OK
I think you look best in "Winter Sonata" or "Hotelier" hairstyle. Your current look doesn't suit you because of your humble facial features. Hope you can maintain your previous look. God bless you in your future undertakings. Glad that you are Catholic like me. I will always keep you in my prayers.
