Actor Kim Joo-hyeok and actress Kim Ji-soo have ended their six-year relationship.
Their split, first reported by a local sports daily Wednesday, was confirmed by their agency Namoo Actors, Thursday. The daily quoted a source as saying: "They broke up three months ago. The separation has been barely known, even unknown to their agency. I don't know why they broke up. They are still going through hard times". Yet, the relationship appears to have ended amicably. "They have decided to remain friends", said an official from their agency, declining to elaborate. Both born in 1972, the two started their relationship in 2004 after appearing together in the SBS TV series "Flowing River". The actress posted a note on her blog at the end of July, hinting at the breakup. In the posting, she said, "I have known that life does not turn out the way I wished.

| Director LEE Yoon-ki's film 'And Us' ("Breakfast at Tiffany's"), currently in production has had a three week respite in shooting. Reasons for the temporary halt are unknown but given the star power attached to the film, that the film has not yet resumed shooting is significant. The male lead is HA Jeong-woo who most recently starred in "Take Off" which this year raked in 8 million admissions at the Korean box office. HA plays opposite Soo-ae who is currently playing Queen Myeon-seong in "The Sword with no Name" itself ranking at number two at the Korean box office. Since his debut feature "This Charming Girl" in 2005 Director LEE Yoon-ki has also made a name for himself at the box office. "And Us", a mid-budget film was to be his 5th feature.
