I am currently watching Seo Dong Yo or also known as The Ballad of Seo Dong. Jo Hyun-Jae stars in this beautiful 2005 sageuk (historical drama) and I am really hook on it. I am still watching the first volume and I can’t wait to jump unto the next.
When I saw his shaven head I know immediately that he is going to fulfill his duty as a citizen of South Korea, even before I read the story. He will serve the South Korean military. He will be in training for 5 weeks before he can start his 2 years in the military.
Jo Hyun-Jae’s latest drama is Three Dads, One Mom. His co-star in this drama Jae Hee will also be serving the military the same time as him. That’s good to know that he will not feel alone.
See you in 2 years guys!

The ‘”almost” MIA Coffee Prince beauty, Yoon Eun Hye, is now the image of Vivian lingerie line. She replaced Kim A-jong (200 Pounds Beauty), the previous CF model and product endorser of Vivian.
Yoon Eun Hye has a one year deal with Vivian and her lingerie ads are set to launch in the Spring of 2009.
I am so glad to see her being active again and doing a new project but, I and the rest of Yoon Eun Hye fans will be more excited if she will star again in a drama or movie this year. Unfortunately, it will not happen. If she does announce that she will have a soap or movie project this year, then it will be shown by next year. Gosh! Let’s just cross our fingers people.

Rain and his Ninja Assassins co-stars were at the Comic-Con last Thursday (July 24th) to promote their movie, sign autographs, and answer questions. Rain was interviewed by two reporters in English and he had a hard time answering them. Rain’s comprehension of the questions and the ability to speak another language was the object of ridicule in POPSEOUL site.
Rain indeed messed up on his English and his answers were way off the questions but despite the language difficulty, Rain managed to wear a smile at all times even on the question that made him uncomfortable (How does a Ninja perform sex with his girlfriend?). Below are the videos of his interview.
For people who can understand and speak English well might find Rain’s answers funny, but that doesn’t give people the right to make fun of the person who tried hard to speak another language. There is a difference between intelligence and arrogance, there is also a similarity between arrogance and ignorance.
A person of intelligence does not make fun of someone who cannot speak a foreign language well, instead, this person understands and appreciates the fact that someone is trying to learn and speak the language other than his/her own.
An arrogant person thinks he/she knows it all and can make fun of someone else’s ability to speak another language ( ex. English). These people are also known as IGNORANTS, like POPSEOUL and whoever agreed with her. Just because POPSEOUL can scribble some English words and maybe can carry out an English conversation (???), she thinks she is high and mighty in grammar and Merriam-Webster dictionary.
In America, if you try to speak English no matter how wrong it is, you are appreciated. In Korea, if foreigners try to speak Korean, they are appreciated no matter how much they messed it up. If a Korean hears another Korean speaks English, the “another” Korean will be the center of criticism. JEALOUSY. I guess that’s how POPSEOUL and whoever agreed with her feels about Rain.
I am not Rain fan or member of clouds, I am just a person who happens to be bilingual and who is simply sick of ARROGANT AND IGNORANT people bashing an individual who put an effort in learning to understand, read, and speak another language , specifically English.
