POPSEOUL!

Is it possible to be thin and have a double chin? Kim Min (35) looks mighty asymmetrical with extra flaps of skin under her chin ( I am on a rhyme roll!). The left side of her face is wider than her right side. Could this be a bad angle or an indication that actress has undergone the painful jaw reduction surgery for a slimmer v-line face?

Only her pointy nose knows.

H.O.T ex-member, Kangta is army ready with his newly shaved head. Female fans showed up to support their ajusshi as he begins his 2 year stint in the military.

Generally, military service will make the boys into men. But in Kangta’s case, it will be ajusshi into ajusshi. In other words, no difference.

Kangta released a new album, “Eternity” in mid-march and finished off with a 2 day concert at Yonsei University.

Good luck.

Upon landing in Hong Kong, this star was mobbed by fans. Even 10 bodyguards couldn’t save him and his poor white shoe.

The trailer to the Hollywood remake of the hit movie My Sassy Girl has been leaked. Judging from the preview, Hollywood has managed to turn the hilarious and charming original into a crap-tacular romantic cheese-fest starring Jesse Bradford and Elisa Cuthburt.

The leading D-list actors alone should be indication enough that this movie will bomb at the box office. Jesse Bradford fails to embody the goofy charisma of Cha Tae Hyun, while Elisa Cuthburt comes off as too edgy and too bipolar.

Asian fans will not be pleased, and American audiences will not be interested. Loyal netizens are already buzzing about how this new version will inevitably pale in comparison to the original. Hollywood needs to quit remaking classics to cover up for their own insipid and uninspired movie plots.

The movie is slated to be released later this year.

Don’t be too surprised if it goes straight to DVD.

As expected, Coffee Prince’s only lady, Chae Jungan’s foray into the Jpop scene ended with no significant outcome, so the girl’s back with a modeling stint for Korean women’s wear label ab.plus.

Chae Jungan sure adds the glam where need be, so she should leverage her strengths as a pretty face and stick to modeling and occasional acting.

Is there a better way to show say good-bye than to wear the colors of the rainbow at your last concert? Shinhwa, Korea’s longest running group, doesn’t think so. Wearing tight rainbow colored clothes, the six legendary members gathered for the “Shinhwa Must Go On 10th Anniversary Live” concert.

The performance lasted three and half hours with encore numbers and touching moments that lead to waterworks for Shinhwa and fans alike.

FT Island’s trip to Malaysia was supposed to be an opportunity for the boys to meet their Malaysian fans and have a good time. Instead, it turned out to be a major disappointment, for the band and fans alike.

According to fans, their autograph session on March 29th was disorganized to say the least. The boys did not arrive on time, the bodyguards were rude and the organizers only allowed fans with the “right” import CD version to receive autographs. On top of being extremely late, FT Island boys showed their face for only 15 minutes, angering fans who waited for hours. How considerate.

Then, the next day the FT Island’s concert was canceled the last minute without any explanations. Nobody knows whether the promoter, the management company or both are at fault, but the damage was already done. FT Island’s reputation was tarnished and fans were disappointed.

Incidents like this makes me wonder if Hallyu stars are truly ready to branch out of the Seoul comfort zone. What do you think?
