Staff Reporter While many singers are gasping for air amid the economic recession, which lowered revenue from already plunging album sales, some are temporarily leaving their original posts to pursue different careers. First, came entertainment programs. Singers Lee Hyo-lee, Yoon Jong-shin and Dae-sung from boy band Big Bang appeared on the SBS program "The Family is Out!", garnering fans and leading the show to become one of the most popular on television during that time slot. Pop duo Country Kkokko members Shin Jung-hwan and Tak Hae-hun have been masters of ceremonies for quite a while, with Tak winning the grand prize at the KBS Entertainment Awards in 2007 and even appearing on the big screen several times. Now, they are turning toward acting. While not the first time singers have appeared in dramas and commercials, the list previously only included top artists like Lee Hyo-lee ("Three Leafed Clover", 2005), Yoo Jin ("Loving You", 2002) from the now di...| More | ||||||||

MANILA- Two Korean movie production outfits have chosen the busy streets of Manila, the pristine beaches of Boracay Island in Aklan and the scenic Pagsanjan Falls in Laguna to serve as backdrops for the romantic comedy they are filming here, Department of Tourism secretary Joseph Ace Durano has announced.

A new trend is taking over TV land, with entertainers freely crossing over from singing to acting and vice versa. While versatile entertainers like Uhm Jung-hwa, Im Chang-jeong and Kim Min-jong took on both roles in the 1980s and 90s due to their talent in both areas, younger entertainers now choose to do both as a "survival strategy".
Singers "Rain", Eugene ("Yoo Jin"), Jeong Ryeo-won and Eric Moon are now regarded as competitive rising actors and actresses after their successful acting debuts this year. With a surging number of singers aiming for the same success, the current trend is expected to stay through the coming years. Amid the ongoing slump in the music industry, it has become harder for singers to make a living with their singing careers only. The situation is worse for members of dance groups which cannot maintain popularity in the entertainment world for more than three years.
