You may have noticed that updates have slowed down considerably here at Seoulfull. We both apologize for not keeping the blog updated, but we have been busy. As of now, we’re still thinking about the future of Seoulfull so we aren’t sure what will happen to the blog.
For now, we’d like to redirect you to our Blogroll, which includes some wonderful sources of the latest KPop news. Additionally, Vanessa (heygingersnap) has recently been spending some time in the Music section at Ningin, so you can find her there as well.
Thanks,
Seoulfull Team

March 28, 2009 at 2:46 am | Posted in Television | 112 CommentsTags: Boys Over Flowers, Koo Hye Sun
“Loving someone despite all obstacles may be one of the most difficult things in life. It may be harder than living in poverty,” said Ku Hye-sun, who is playing the heroine whom two of the four protagonists are pursuing in the KBS2 hit drama “Boys Over Flowers.” And that is why most women viewers are jealous of her.
In an interview at a shooting site at Eulwangri Beach in Incheon on Sunday, Ku said, “I was skeptical about its success when I decided to take the role. I doubted it would appeal to Koreans because it is based on a Japanese comic book. Taking the role itself was a challenge.”

On March 27th, JYP’s divorce was officially confirmed on JYP’s official homepage.
JYP states, “I was 20 years during the time I met my first love and we stayed together for 16 years. The time we had together was the most valuable and beautiful time of my life and I deeply loved her but a few years ago, little by little we started to drift apart. When I was 20 years old, we appeared very similar to many people but over the course of 16 years we slowly grew apart and we came to understand that we had become very different people. We worried and wandered for a few years, and finally decided to separate. To the people close to me, and my fans, forgive me for not being able to keep my promise. I wanted to show you that I was a good person but it seems I am lacking. After many worries and wandering, someday I’ll repay you looking better than I am.”
Park Jin Young and his wife, Seo Yun Jung were married in 1999 and the two do not have any children. Seo Yun Jung currently runs a flower shop in Seoul.

Top Korean movie star Jung Woo-sung won best supporting actor’s award at the third Asian Film Awards for his role in kimchi-western “The Good, the Bad, the Weird.” Directed by Kim Ji-woon, the star-studded blockbuster was the highest grossing film in Korea last year. The film received eight nominations at the Asian Film Awards – best film, best director, best actor (Song Kang-ho), best supporting actors (Lee Byung-heon, Jung Woo-sung), cinematography, visual effects and best composer. Na Hong-jin’s thriller hit “The Chaser” followed with three of its own nominations, but the film failed to win any. Another Korean film “Rough Cut,” directed by Jang Hoon and starring So Ji-seop, also came away empty, but its star So did garner international attention by being nominated in the category of best newcomer.
In the meantime, Japanese films swept top honors at the Asian Film Awards, winning best film for “Tokyo Sonata,” best director for Hirokazu Koreeda of “Still Walking,” and best actor for Masahiro Motoki of “Departures.”
