Actor Kim Tae-ho-I died in a motorcycle accident Thursday morning. He was 30.

The former model was driving toward Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, when he crashed into a truck that was parked near the road.

"We were heading to Chuncheon to have lunch after leaving Seoul and stopping by the Soyang Dam", his fellow motorcycle club members told the police.

According to police, Kim's driving license was revoked due to penalty points until Aug. 1.

Kim, who started out as a model and moved on to become an actor, appeared in the movie "Sex is Zero 2" and dramas "You Are Not Alone" (2004, SBS) and "Blue Fish" (2007, SBS). He was set to appear at a charity fashion show next month.

The actress Song Ji-hyo, 27, isn't afraid of baring her soul and herself for the sake of telling the story.

Song plays the undaunted queen in Yoo Ha's "A Frozen Flower", which will be released on Dec. 30. In the film, her husband, the king of Goryeo (Joo Jin-mo), asks her to sleep with his trusted head of security (Jo In-seong). The king has no male heir and he is terrified that his kingdom will be attacked by the Great Yuan Empire.

But the king has feelings for his bodyguard and when the queen finds out that her husband is confused about his sexuality, her jealousy is so great that she throws the peaceful palace into a state of catastrophe.

Despite the queen's flaws, Song is drawn to her character.

"[The queen] is elegant, noble and decisive", Song said. "She will do anything for her love, even if it leads to the collapse of her country".

Song said she feels warmth toward the queen. "If I had the chance to meet her, I would first give her a warm hug and then ask her out...| More

Seol Kyeong-gu has returned in seven years as detective Kang Chul-joong in "Public Enemy Returns" which premieres on the 19th. His next work will be the blockbuster "Haeundae".

In the midst of sighs that there are no more females in leading roles, Ha Ji-won will challenge this.

Ha Ji-won will start filming "Seven Remedies" in New Zealand in June and will be coming back from a one-year hiatus.

After "Miracle on 1st Street" last February, she only appeared in cameos in "Last Present - 2007" and "Sex is Zero 2". Now, she will be spending the summer with "Seven Remedies".

"Seven Remedies" is about a monster that is transformed through viruses and a female character who tries to fight it.

It's drawing more attention because there are few movies with female lead roles, and those few fail to succeed. Most movies have male leads, but this one has put a female in the lead.

A representative of the production company said, "Ha Ji-won will be showing action like Angelina Jolie in 'Tomb Raider". Her fighting scene with the monster will be the highlight". He said that she received the lead role because of confidence in her.

After the filming of "Seven Rem...| More
