Ryoo Si-won Receives Appreciation Plaque

Korean Wave star Ryoo Si-won met with some 2000 fans from Japan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Taiwan and the U.S. on September 27 in the city of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.

Until recently, the actor typically held his meetings around the time of his birthday in Seoul, but this year he decided to hold a fan meeting in Gyeongju with the help of the North Gyeongsang provincial government, which has launched a campaign to attract foreign tourists to the region.

In a news conference that Ryoo held prior to the fan meeting at the Hyundai Hotel in the Gyeongju Bomun Tourism Zone, the actor said his goal was to get married before he turned 40. The actor added that he was ready to go down the aisle as soon as he met his significant other. "I have few opportunities to meet with women because I have to work hard in Japan, and only meet with my male friends in Korea when I have free time", said Ryoo.

Experience is speaking volubly on the small screen these days, as former teen stars and now middle-aged veteran actors have made comebacks.

Local dramas have been favored ― and criticized - for pretty but inexperienced new faces depicting love triangles and romantic stories. However, many female viewers in their late 20s, 30s and 40s have noticed the charms of the realistic world of politics, both office and real life, portrayed by older actors who may not be young and fresh, but have the charisma and experience to lead.

The current most popular Monday-Tuesday period drama "Queen Seon-deok" (MBC) stars Ko Hyeon-jeong as the femme fatale Mi-shil of the Shilla Kingdom. The series may be the first period drama of her acting career, but the 38-year-old actor is making headlines.

"I watch the drama because of Ko. The other characters are interesting, but Ko does a great job portraying the mean, yet charismatic Mi-shil", Youn Myung-sook, 51,...| More

Kim Hee-seon, one of South Korea's top actresses, has unveiled a photo of her baby daughter through a Seoul-based fashion magazine.

Kim, 32, appears on the cover of the September issue of Marie Claire Korea, the South Korean edition of international magazine Marie Claire, with her daughter Yeon-a.

Kim, a hallyu (Korean wave) star who gave birth to her baby in January, had stopped short of showing any more than Yeon-a's hands and feet on her blog.

The cover featuring Kim and her daughter will also be used in other Asian Marie Claire editions, according to press reports.

Kim married businessman Park Ju-young in October 2007 and has starred in numerous TV dramas with hallyu stars like Lee Dong-gun in "Smile Again" (2006); Kwon Sang-woo and Yeon Jeong-hoon in "Sad Love Story" (2005); and Ryoo Si-won in "Propose" (1997).

She has also appeared in several movies, including the martial arts fantasy "Bichunmoo" and "The Myth" alongside Chinese superstar Jackie Chan....| More
