Tony An, a former member of the popular boy band H.O.T., will launch his underwear brand "Shinenihs" on Saturday.

An will officially unveil the new underwear brand with a fashion show on April 14 at the Grand Ballroom of the Grand Intercontinental Hotel in southern Seoul. This is not the first time An has been involved in the clothing industry _ he already started a school uniform company, "Skoolooks".

After two hours selling three outfits and one big bag, Ms. Lee's publicist claims the show generated sales of 1.3 billion won, which was good business for CJ Home Shopping.
Ms. Lee, the former Miss Korea-turned-actress, is yet another Korean celebrity who wants to become a TV shopping jaebol, through her brand About el. Aided by a chatty shopping host, Ms. Lee shouts like a market tout, advising that her clothes, be they a skirt, suit or pants, are selling fast. Above all shoppers are told they have to hurry because quantities are limited. For example, last Saturday she said there were only 1,000 bags available and her publicis...| More
