Actress Choi Kang-hee will return as a radio DJ.

She will fill in for singer MayBee to host the KBS Cool FM show 'Pump Up on Volume' Jan. 14 to Feb. 3. It's been 14 months since she left the show as the DJ.

The replacement is scheduled because MayBee will undergo surgery on her vocal cords. MayBee was diagnosed last month while promoting her second album. She wanted to continue as DJ but her management and radio producers persuaded her to take a break for a while.

Kim Tae-hee, who plays a tough housewife clashing with her husband in Han Ji-seung's latest comic drama "Venus and Mars" (Ssaum), is dealing with the second lackluster public reception in as many big-screen attempts. Last year, she joined the 10 billion won ($10.6 million) film project "The Restless", which tanked at the box office with a mere 1 million tickets sold.

Released on Dec. 12, "Venus and Mars" sold about 320,000 tickets in two weeks. The film had drawn keen interest as director Han, a leading filmmaker known for his sophisticated style, has taken the helm, and equally famous actor Seol Kyeo...| More
