Two leading variety shows on KBS TV, 'Happy Together Season 3' and 'One Night and Two Days', a popular segment on 'Happy Sunday', are more popular than ever this cold winter season.

'One Night and Two Days' features various 'road trip adventures' that take place when the main cast members Kang Ho-dong, Kim C, Eun Ji-won, Lee Soo-keun, Lee Seung-gi and MC Mong leave for remote destinations, including small mountain villages and islands, for one night and two days.

The cast member that loses in a game--whose results depend purely on luck--must spend one night outdoors in a tent.

Meanwhile, the third season of ' Happy Together ' is filmed inside a public sauna. Cast members must endure the heat and sing an entire song without making a single mistake in order to escape from the unbearably hot sauna.

Cast members include popular comedians Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myeong-soo and Sin Bong-son. Dressed comfortably in sweats and baring their faces by forgoing makeup, the celebrity cast pr...

Nowadays, it is no longer rare to see a singer taking on acting as either their second career or a main career after ending their singing business. Far too many singers are driven to acting business as if it is their final destination in their careers in showbiz.

Of course, it is great way of increasing and lengthening their popularity and competitiveness in showbiz; and a strategy of "One source – multi-use" policy, which uses one resource in various fields to maximise the profit from it.

The common thing between these singers who have half or fully turned to acting business is that when they appear in musicals, films or dramas, they use their real names even though they had been using stage names while they were in music industry.

For example, Rain maintains his stage name, 'Rain' when he releases his albums or singing on the stage; but when he comes out as an actor in dramas such "Sang Doo! Let's go to school" and "A Love to Kill" and a film "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK"...

It may be hard to imagine, but even a long-time boy band member like Kim Dong-wan can get nervous when embarking on a solo career.

Even having sold hundreds of thousands of albums as a member of Shinhwa, Kim admitted he is a little apprehensive at the reaction to his first album "Kimdongwan Is".

"I'm kind of nervous to have a performance by myself, to stand on stage by myself and to do a whole song", he told The Korea Times at a cafe in Apgujeong, Wednesday.

Wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and jeans, Kim looked relaxed and showed no sign of fatigue, even though he was in the middle of rehearsals.

Kim said it was Shinhwa's successful Asian tour last year, which brought them to Singapore, China, Thailand and Japan, that prompted him to decide to pursue a solo music career.

"I realized that Shinhwa was loved in Asia. I felt like I had something special I wanted to share with fans… Now I think this is the right time for me to deb...
