Andy from Shinhwa was on MBC “Golden Fishery: Radio Star” on 26th March with Lee Min Woo and confessed about their ideal girl type.

Andy was asked by the MC, “Your ideal celebrity type is?” His initial answer was Kim Tae Hee. But the MC added, “Besides this general answer?” He then answered, “I like So Nyeo Shi Dae members, all of them.” ’

Shin Jung Hwan pressed on further and Andy shly replied, “I like YoonA. I like pure and innocent girls.” Lee Min Woo also said that his preferred celebrity lover would be Kim Tae Hee too. He described her, “She is like my air.”

Andy was asked which movie was uninteresting, Eric’s Diary of June, Minwoo’s Holy Daddy or Dong Wan’s Spin Kick. He said, “Sorry, Dong Wan hyung.”

Kim Sun Ah was supposed to be part of G.O.D!

Danny Ahn from G.O.D (Groove Over Dose) revealed recently that G.O.D was supposed to be a mixed group of 6 with five guys and one girl.

In KBS2TV “Happy Together” program shown on 27th March, Danny Ahn had revealed, “When G.O.D was formed, it was supposed to be five guys plus one girl to form a six member mixed group. The group name was to be G.O.D Six.”

But then Park Jin Young came in the picture as their producer and said that G.O.D is not going to be a mixed group, recommending Kim Tae Woo to be part of the group instead and dropping the female member totally. Danny Ahn still feels sorry for the supposed-to-be female member of G.O.D.

After that broadcast, the netizens started getting interested in who that female member was and starting leaving messages on the program’s official website.

It was later revealed that the female member was actress Kim Sun Ah who shot to fame thanks to her role in, “My Name is Kim Sam Soon”. Lucky break!!!

“We Got Married” reveals celebrities out of bed looks

The four make-believe newly wed couples on MBC Sunday Sunday Night, “We Got Married”will be showing them getting up from bed and exercising together.

In tonight’s episode, Jung Hyung Don-Saori, Alex-Shin Ae, Solbi-Andy, Crown J-Seo In Young couples will reveal their fresh faces after getting up from bed. The four couple will also get a “exercise together for a healthy lifestyle” mission. The couples will have lots of interesting ideas to choose from. Andy-Solbi couple chose Pocketball and things got interesting after they decided to wager on the person who loses will have to give the other person a light peck.

Alex who charmed Shin Ae previously with his culinary skills and song bought her to a gym this time. Alex volunteered to become Shin Ae’s fitness trainer and his strict training regime even shocked the production team filming them.

Crown J and Seo In Young continued in their battle to assume supremacy over each other. They were suppose to go exercising but with both of them hating that, they started squabbling with each other, amply showing that they are the ticking time bomb couple in the program.

“We Got Married” is the first-ever program in Korea that unites two celebrities together to become a couple. Since it’s first episode on 9th March, it has gotten good reviews. After just two episodes, the growing popularity among viewers could be the catalyst for “Sunday Sunday Night” to see a surge in their ratings.

Have heard good reviews about this and frankly miss the romance factor in Korean variety. Although this is partly scripted, it still is helluva interesting especially after I watched the chinese subbed episode 2.

Upon returning, Lee Dong Gun immediately headed for the Samsung Medical Center at Ilwon-Dong where his brother’s urn will be placed temporarily at the mourning hall. The funeral will run for four days while a memorial service will be conducted in a Catholic church through a mass format on 31st March.

Actress and former girlfriend of Lee Dong Gun, Han Ji Hye came to the mourning hall and used her tears to console him over the tragic loss of his brother. She arrived at around 11.30pm last night, just a few hours after Lee Dong Gun had returned with his brother’s urn from Australia.

According to someone from Han Ji Hye’s company, “After completing the filming for “I Hate You But It’s Fine” drama, she rushed over to the hospital immediately.” It’s understood that when she arrived, she started tearing because she had lost someone who was like a brother to her as well.

Han Ji Hye and Lee Dong Gun was a couple until the end of last year when they broke up which left many fans disappointed.

Minwoo reveals Shinhwa gossip and says sorry to ex-girlfriends (not!)

Shinhwa members, Lee Minwoo and Andy was on MBC variety, “Golden Fishery: Radio Star” yesterday as they revealed the actual reason behind Shinhwa leaving SM Entertainment when their contract expired, why Shinhwa members got into fights and Minwoo apologising to his ex-girlfriends.

Shinhwa has already been together for 10 years and everyone is very curious as to whether they have fought with each before. The host asked if any of them fought over the past 10 years and Minwoo replied, “I did scold JunJin before but the only time I fought was with Shin Hye Sung. We even saw blood at the end. The host continued to ask for the reason to which Minwoo smilingly said, “Hye Sung once he drinks one drop too many, he likes to cling onto people and start talking non-stop. So there was once when we were drinking and he was at it again. At that time, I needed to go to the toilet but he kept holding me back. I just hit him because I really needed to go and then he retaliated and hit me back. We traded blows one after another and it became a big fight.

Minwoo also revealed that they often get into fights because of silly things. And one of the most ridiculous one was because of a fart. He revealed, “Sometimes, I will give out a fart but I will lay the blame on someone else. But some of them hate this kind of joke and so we will end up quarrelling in the end.”

They also revealed why they ended their contract with SM Entertainment. Minwoo said, “When Shinhwa contract with SM was up, they only wanted to re-sign some members only not all of us. We felt that we couldn’t give up Shinhwa and thus decided to leave SM Entertainment as a group instead.

Minwoo also said sorry to the female artistes whom he said he liked on a variety show last year. When the host asked if such a thing happened, Minwoo said, “I was very naive then and accidentally blurted out their names.” “I never thought that there was a need to protect their privacy.” “Although it wasn’t my intention, I am sorry for causing them a great deal of stress and problems.”

Lee Minwoo had expressed on a variety show last year that Suh Ji Young and Shin Ae were two girls that he really liked in the past. After that happened, Minwoo said, “After that happened, I contacted them saying I didn’t mean to do that. We are now still good friends and they have their own boyfriends now.”
