In order to become a celebrity, you need talent as well as good looks that can stand out and outshine regular citizens. For this reason, it’s not an easy feat to have even just one celebrity in the family, let alone more than one. However, there are an increasing number of celebrity siblings appearing in the entertainment industry in recent years.

A prime example of this are the Jung sisters: Girls’ Generation’s Jessica and f(x)’s Krystal. Not only do they actively promote within their own respective groups, they also show their abilities in various different areas through dramas, musicals, CFs (commercial film), photo shoots, and more. The two sisters have beautiful looks, exceptional fashion sense, and are currently the muses of a famous accessory brand.

Idol siblings, 2NE1’s Sandara Park and MBLAQ’s Thunder are known for their round eyes and extremely small faces, acting as the nation’s baby-face siblings. The numerous photos of them together show off their incredible visuals, as well as their similar fashion styles.

Park Yoochun and Park Yoo Hwan, with their good looks, are both in the midst of solidifying their positions as actors. With their tall height, broad shoulders, and handsome features, they have everything it takes to shake the hearts of all females. These brothers are called “Mother’s Friend’s Sons” for their positive image. Other similar famous siblings include Kim Tae Hee and Lee Wan, Rainbow’s Jaekyung and N.Flying’s Kim Jae Hyun, and singer Joo and BTOB’s Ilhoon.

CF director Bae Doo Han and actress Bae Doo Na are a sibling duo that emerged as UNIQLO’s campaign models, displaying their own distinctive synergistic results.

Now, siblings are even forming groups together. Lee Chan Hyuk and Lee Soo Hyun of Akdong Musician (AKMU) have debuted as a sibling duo after winning on SBS’ audition program, “K-Pop Star Season 2, ” in 2012. They instantly received the public’s love and interest with their numerous self-composed songs and original music style that is hard to come by in today’s music industry.

Following Akdong Musician’s win on the audition program through a relateable original song, they signed a contract with YG Entertainment. Also, they have been garnering more and more attention after finishing up their successful debut stage on Mnet’s “M! Countdown” on April 9.

The public’s expectations for these celebrity siblings are rising and you can’t help but think that it runs in their blood when you see such talented and good looking siblings in one household.

[News] 130428 K-pop Stars Giving Back – A New Trend?

Celebrities give back. Who’s the latest to be involved in charity?

A handful of superstars including the likes of Psy, JYJ and Lee Byung Hun are giving back in big ways. The entertainers are taking their earnings to help others in need and using their platforms to give a voice to communities.

Psy is literally taking his “Gentleman” status to a whole new level. The international star has plans to donate 500 million won (approximately $557,000 USD) to help children suffering with cancer. On top of the whopping donation, the “Gangnam Style” singer is taking part of the $10 miracle program which raises money to build a children’s rehabilitation hospital. The project is headed by The Purme Foundation’s ambassador Sean of Jinusean.

Gorgeous actress Song Hye Kyo recently worked with an animal protection foundation to care for stray dogs. Song Hye Kyo along with Lee Hyori are known for their love of animals and give as much of their free time to helping animals in need.

Trio group, JYJ, and clothing brand, NII, are teaming up together for a great cause! The group will be holding a fan event called “GIVE” where the proceeds will go to a charity called Good Neighbors. The event will take place at the COEX auditorium hall in Samsung-dong, Seoul, Korea.

 G.I. Joe actor Lee Byun Hun recently led a charity event called “Cinema Theque Charity Night” at the Gangnam Shinsegae Department Burberry Store. The event was put together to support and improve Korean independent films and the night was filled with loads of important figures in the film industry.

While the industry is known for its glitz and glamour, it’s nice to see huge stars taking the time out to give back!

[TRANS] 120921 Park Gun Hyung Says, “I Joined Junsu’s Soccer Team At His Request, I’m Surrounded By Idols

Actor Park Gun Hyung revealed how he ended up joining the celebrity soccer team that Kim Junsu’s introduced him to.

The actor appeared on the episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘Happy Together Season 3′ that aired on the 20th with his fellow team member Lee Gi Kwang.

Lee Gi Kwang stated, “Park Gun Hyung is quite a big guy and really tall, so you’d expect him to be really good at soccer, but he just likes playing for fun,” and Park Gun Hyung added, “JYJ’s Kim Junsu persuaded me to join, but I found out that everyone was an idol singer.”

He continued to add, “Because of the age difference, it’s harder to be around them than it is when I hang out with people older than me.” The other celebrities on the show smiled as they said, “If we were in your position, we couldn’t have done that. You’re amazing,” and “Aren’t the oldest people usually the financiers when people meet up?”

Meanwhile, the aforementioned episode of ‘Happy Together’ featured Park Gun Hyung, Lee Gi Kwang and IU. During the midnight snack corner, IU’s ‘IU style food’ was chosen as the best menu item.

[NEWS] 111121 North Korean Celebrities Are Struggling Because Of The Hallyu Wave

Radio Free Asia (RFA), a non-profit organization that operates a radio station and internet news source, recently published a story about North Korean celebrities being forgotten due to the Hallyu Wave. Apparently, South Korean movies and dramas are spreading like wildfire inside the isolated country and are devouring low-quality North Korean films.

According to an insider in North Korea, “I don’t know anything about new North Korean songs or movies that have been released. There are only 3-4 [North Korean] films that are produced each year, but since there are so many South Korean movies laying around, no one pays attention to our [North Korean] films.”

Not only are North Korean films low in quality due to insufficient budgets, they lack creativity and are considered boring because they are all material that only praise Kim Il Sung‘s family. Thus, it was reported that citizens and young people completely ignore films and entertainment produced by their country.

North Korean celebrities are suffering significantly due to the Hallyu Wave, mainly because South Korean celebrities are gaining much popularity, while they are becoming forgotten. Multiple insiders state, “People related to the North Korean entertainment business ignore the demands of the people and solely focus on Kim Jong Il‘s propaganda. People can expect to see the end of North Korea’s entertainment industry“.

North Korean youths who defected from the country were able to name several South Korean films including ‘Stairway to Heaven‘ and ‘Scent of a Man‘, while they were unable to recall any names of actors/actresses from a particular North Korean film.

It’s not just North Korean movies and dramas going down the drain — the music industry is declining as well. An insider explained, “All songs, including new ones, involve chants and praises for Kim Jong Il or the Worker’s Party. No one wants to listen to them.”

South Korean netizens were quite amused by the news and commented, “Aren’t all North Korean songs practically hymns that praise that dictator pig?“, “There are celebrities in North Korea? That kind of occupation exists? Wow“, and “I can feel the end of North Korea nearing..“.

Check out this clip to get a taste of North Korean music.
