November 11 – The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) has announced its 32nd General Assembly and the Asian Games Centennial Festival Celebrations due to be held in Boracay later this month have been postponed after the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan.

The category five typhoon, with ground winds of up to 235 miles per hour hit the Philippines over the weekend and there are fears that over 10,000 people have been killed while around four million people have been affected.

Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, is now bearing down on Vietnam and southern China with millions of people being evacuated from their homes across the south east of Asia.

Boracay, an island situated approximately 320 kilometres south of the Philippines capital Manila, was due to host the OCA General Assembly and the Asian Games Centennial Festival Celebrations from November 27 to 29.

But in a letter to its Executive Board Members and the Asian National Olympic Committees (NOCs), OCA President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah announced the event has been cancelled.

Among those who had been due to attend the event was newly-elected International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach.

[Trans] 120314 JYJ’s Yoochun, Drama Filming Cancelled Due To The Passing Of His Father…”No Problems With Broadcasting”

JYJ’s Park Yoochun’s scheduled filming sessions for SBS’s new drama “Rooftop Prince” have been cancelled as he is grieving the loss of his father, who passed away on 14 March.

According to representatives of the drama “Rooftop Prince”, which Yoochun stars in, Yoochun returned to Korea in the afternoon. The filming for episodes 3 and 4, which were originally scheduled for 15 March, have been temporarily cancelled. They said, “The situation is rather hectic (for Yoochun), with the passing of his father. Thus, it has been deemed not possible for the filming scheduled for tomorrow afternoon to go on as planned, and Yoochun’s filming schedules have been cancelled.”

Following that, representatives also said that, “As there is footage that was taken in advance, there will not be problems for the first broadcast on 21 March.”

 

Another member of the production team stated, “Originally, Yoochun did not have filming scheduled for 14 March, but was scheduled to participate in filming for the 4th episode on 15 March. Due to the sudden news (of the passing of Yoochun’s father), the schedules for 15 March have been changed totally, and Yoochun’s filming has been cancelled.”

The production team member then went on to say, “Currently, only the filming schedule for 15 March has been confirmed, but I think it is probable that Yoochun will not be able to partake in filming until the day of the funeral mass. Everyone on the production team would like to express our condolences.”

“Rooftop Prince” will be having its first broadcast on 21 March, and will last 20 episodes.
