[Trans] 110623 Yoochun’s ‘Miss Ripley’ And Changmin’s ‘Come To Play’ Were Filmed At The Same Time In The Same Building

JYJ’s Park Yoochun and TVXQ’s Choikang Changmin kept MBC’s staff on their toes as they filmed for their respective shows on the same day and time with just one wall separating them.

On the 22nd, Park Yoochun filmed for ‘Miss Ripley’ on set at the MBC Dream Center in Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do. He was following a rigorous schedule of filming for the drama in the morning in the MBC building and heading out in the afternoon to film in Gangnam.

Next to the indoor set of ‘Miss Ripley’ was the set of MBC’s ‘Come to Play’. On this day, many SM Entertainment singers were present after completing their ‘SM TOWN Live Tour in Paris’ performance in Paris, France. Choikang Changmin was present to represent TVXQ on ‘Come to Play’.

Fortunately, it was later found that the two did not run into each other due to their busy schedules. But as Park Yoochun and SM Entertainment representatives have not met in public since the 2009 lawsuit, MBC staff later reported that they were unable to hide their nervousness as they were kept on their toes.

Since Park Yoochun began singing as a member of JYJ, he has been unable to appear on variety shows. Though the lead roles of ‘Miss Ripley’ tried to appear on ‘Come to Play’, the plan was canceled due to doubtful reasons. Even ‘Section TV Entertainment News’ has dropped out of publicizing its own broadcasting company’s drama, which has never happened before.

At the press conference of ‘Miss Ripley’, Park Yoochun confessed, “Though I want to appear on variety shows, I keep getting ‘cut’.”

A representative of ‘Miss Ripley’ stated, “Park Yoochun was supposed to head over to Gangnam to film in the afternoon but filming was delayed, meaning that Park Yoochun was still in Ilsan when ‘Come to Play’ was being filmed,” and “Though the relationship between Park Yoochun and the company(SM Entertainment) may be strained, he is not on bad terms with the members so I don’t think he minded that much.”

T/N: The translator would like to remind readers that the word choice used in this article is not her own, but of the reporter who wrote the original article. I don’t think ‘Fortunately’ is the word that should be used to state the fact that the two did not meet (in public…. *crosses fingers*).

As“Miss Ripley” is a show that casts Park Yoochun, who is active as a singer throughout Asia and holds the firm position as a “Hallyu star,” it has received a lot of attention from overseas buyers even from the planning stage. Therefore, once the show started airing, it simultaneously opened up pathways for the overseas markets.

MBC personnel expressed, “After the first episode of the drama aired, it didn’t take very long to get contracts. So actually, it can be considered as a pre-sale. As he is a member of JYJ, and has a large fan-base all across Asia, we could negotiate for favorable terms when signing the contracts.”

Recently, Park Yoochun was invited to participate in the “The 1st Doosan Asian Dream Cup,” and went to Vietnam for this first charity event from the JS Foundation, founded by English Premier League player Park Ji-Sung.

Other JYJ members Kim Junsu and Kim Jaejoong, together with Park Yoochun paid a visit to Vietnam and received a passionate reception from the Vietnamese fans, once again proving that they are indeed representative Hallyu stars.

[News] 110617 Park Yoo-chun proves star power on TV screenWhether singing, acting, or narrating, he guarantees Asia-wide promotion. K-pop star Park Yoo-chun, who is taking on his second major TV drama, is proving his star power, as the show has drawn big attention both in the country and overseas.

The MBC drama “Miss Ripley,” in which Park plays an heir to a resort empire, had already been exported to Japan and the U.S. before it was finished, in a deal worth 1.8 billion won ($1.6 million). The chances are high that it will enter markets of China and Southeast Asian countries soon.

In Korea, the drama is the most watched one among Monday-Tuesday evening TV dramas, reaching high viewer ratings since its first episode. As many of his fans are Japanese, the drama website provides Japanese language service for the drama.

Park Yoo-chun (MBC)

Although he achieved fame as a singer at the boy band TVXQ and later JYJ, his acting has earned him even more popularity.

His previous drama, KBS’ “Seongkyunkwan Scandal,” which portrayed student life in the Joseon period, also attracted great viewership and won him the rookie actor of the year award at the Korea’s Paeksang Arts Award. His choice for playing a historical character for the first time has surprised many, but he later received praise for his acting.

He also narrates MBC documentary “The Hometown Where I Used to Live,” which airs on June 17. The MBC staff figured Park’s soothing voice would fit the concept of the documentary, depicting disappearing rural villages under the influence of urbanization in Korea.

“Miss Ripley” airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 9:50 p.m. on MBC and “The Hometown Where I Used to Live” will air Friday at 11:05 p.m.

[Trans] 110614 Lee Da Hae, side effects of non-stop lyings? Ratings decreased again‏

Was it the side effects due to Lee Da Hae’s non-stop lies?

The records from AGB Nielsen Media Research on the 14th shows the viewer ratings for MBC drama broadcasted on the 13th as 12.1%. This figure was compared to the 4th episode of 13.7%, with a decrease of 1.6%.

In this programme, it broadcasted on how Jang Miri was getting close with Jang Myunghun in order to succeed and the 180 degrees attitude transformation she had upon knowing Song Yuhyun’s true identity. This increased concerns by the audiences.

Meanwhile, the same drama time slot by KBS2 had a ratings of 15.2% and gotten 1st place while SBS’s ratings was 10.0%.

You have a real interest in people and the human condition, Yunho. I’m interested in where this will take you.

Love you. Momma Cha

B1A4′s rapper Baro recently shared his story with TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho.

In a recent interview, Baro revealed, “During our first broadcast, Yunho-sunbae* said to me, ‘Let’s meet on stage’, and I am very happy that I am able to keep this promise.”

He continued, “Even before he became part of TVXQ, Yunho-hyung was already a very famous person back in Gwangju because of his superb dancing skills.. Following in his footsteps, I have also come to Seoul. There was once when we coincidentally met in a cafe, and I was very excited to be able to be so close to him.” Later on, he went up to speak to Yunho, telling him that he himself is also from Gwangju, and Yunho was very friendly, warm-heartedly asking about his school and neighbourhood.

Also, Baro mentioned that when he was still a trainee, he once asked Yunho for an autograph, which is how he managed to own an autographed CD with the words “Let’s meet on stage in the future!” written on it. And 2 years later, he once again met up with this top star.

After their first encounter, Baro joined B1A4. “We debuted on MBC’s ‘Show!Music Core’, and I was lucky to be able to meet Yunho-sunbae once again.. I was very nervous when I greeted him, and was so excited that I couldn’t talk. What moved me, was that he still remembered me.”

Translation 110602 The Reason I Know Park Yoochun…

[Translation] 110602 The Reason I Know Park Yoochun Though I Don’t Know Micky Yoochun

I'm Real

[T/N: As you can see through the use of first person, this is an editorial by a news reporter. Enjoy~]

I don’t really know Micky Yoochun as a singer very well. But I do know something about Park Yoochun as an actor. To tell you the truth, I don’t really know just how amazing Micky Yoochun was in TVXQ, an idol group that conquered(?) Japan and Asia.

To make an excuse for myself, I say that it’s okay that I don’t know much about Micky Yoochun as a singer because when TVXQ was most active, I wasn’t a reporter for the entertainment sector and I was well past the age for liking idol groups. I do know that he and two other members left SM Entertainment and formed a new group JYJ, only to have a hard time finding opportunities for TV appearances as broadcasting companies continue to be hesitant due to SM’s influence. Right now, I will be talking about Park Yoochun as an actor rather than Micky Yoochun.

Last week, Park Yoochun beat fierce competition at the ‘Baeksang Arts Awards’ to win the Best Male Newcomer Award and the Popularity Award for TV dramas. He looked quite radiant as he held his trophies and smiled brightly. To be honest, I had prejudices stacked against Park Yoochun even before I met him. The source of this came from the fact that he is from an idol group.

Though I admitted that the role of these beautiful male and female idols in the industry was to dance on stage and please the eyes of the viewers, their domination of the music industry made me wonder if the ‘Ga’ of Gasoo(singer) actually meant ‘Beautiful(佳)’, leaving a sour taste in my mouth as I saw the reality of what this industry had become.

Recently, Lee Minho of the drama ‘City Hunter’ stated, “There was a time when I would get upset at the fact that idol group members got lead roles with such ease when I had to go through countless auditions to receive a small role.” I agreed with his sentiments.

This was what I thought about as I saw Park Yoochun making his acting debut through ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’. I thought, ‘They’re making a youth drama with young actors who are popular with teens,’ and ‘They must have included Park Yoochun in the cast list for these young fans.’ But to my surprise, I saw this guy take his role seriously and subconsciously show off such a high level of concentration. His great acting that went well above my expectations made me see Park Yoochun in a new light.

I recently met Park Yoochun for a while during a report on MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley’. His sincere and serious explanation of the drama and his character made me think that he must have done a lot of preparation for the interview. In the back of my head, there was also the thought, “This is a facade that will soon slip.” But he answered the shower of questions directed at him with sincere and deep answers. He also replied to all questions with a humble manner and a smile.

When I heard that he gets an hour of sleep a day as he juggles his World Tour with filming for his drama, I felt my heart go out to him in sympathy. Even being considerate of the other actors with him, his replies and attitude during the interview were perfect. When we asked him questions regarding JYJ’s inability to appear on TV, promising to not publish articles if he answered truthfully, he smiled brightly and left us with the answer “I want~ to!”

Park Yoochun! He is the first person to break the stereotypes I had about idol group members. This may be one of the reasons why I’m anticipating his work in ‘Miss Ripley’.

Translation 110521 Jin Ji Hui Says There Is Only One Idol Star She Calls ‘Oppa’ Instead Of ‘Uncle’

“U-Know Yunho Oppa is the only ‘Oppa’ for me.”

Jin Ji Hui(12), who is debuting in the movie industry with the film ‘Whip’, showed her strong affection for TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho(25), who she appears on SBS TV’s ‘Kim Yuna’s Kiss and Cry’ with.

Jin Ji Hui showed off her daring nature as she said, “Age doesn’t matter to me. I call all guys ‘Uncle’ and I call all girls ‘Unnie’,” and “I told myself that I would make an exception to handsome, single men and call them ‘Oppa’, but the only person I’ve made that exception for, till now, is U-Know Yunho.” This means that Choi Daniel(25), who acted as her uncle in ‘High Kick Through the Roof’, falls under the category of ‘Uncle’ as well.

There is one more ‘Oppa’ in her life though and he is none other than Yoon Shi Yoon(25), who acted as her older brother in ‘High Kick Through the Roof’. Ironically, U-Know Yunho, Yoon Shi Yoon and Choi Daniel were all born in 1986.

“Calling Yoon Shi Yoon ‘Oppa’ came naturally because he played the role of my older brother in our drama. But there is a difference between Yoon Shi Yoon’s ‘Oppa’ and U-Know Yunho’s ‘Oppa’.”

Jin Ji Hui began acting at the age of four in 2003 in the KBS daily drama ‘Yellow Handkerchief’ and rose to fame as the greedy and mischievous ‘Haeri’ in the 2009 MBC TV sitcom ‘High Kick Through the Roof’.
