"On the upcoming episode of SBS drama ‘Late Night Restaurant,’ Kim Jung Hoon and Jeon So Min will appear together. Still cuts have been released, raising the anticipation of viewers.

In the pictures, Kim Jung Hoon and Jeon So Min shake hands and seem to be happy to see one another. Another photo shows them looking at each other in the alleyway of the late night restaurant, bringing curiosity as to their relationship and romance.

According to the producers, “Kim Jung Hoon and Jeon So Min completed filming with their stunning visuals and top chemistry, surprising the staff. Even though the two actors worked together for the first time, they perfectly showed a cute couple as if they already knew each other. Please anticipate the story they will bring to ‘Late Night Restaurant.’

Meanwhile, the two episodes set to air on August 15 has been pushed back because of the extension of the ‘8 o’clock News’ for the 70th anniversary of Gwangbokjeol, so the 13th and 14th episode will air at 12:20."

KJH Shows Off Taekkyon Skills at Mwave’s MEET&GREET

Kim Jeong Hoon is back with a new album after seven years away from the K-Pop spotlight, and the singer and actor stopped by Mwave’s MEET&GREET to chat with fans who have been anxiously awaiting his return.

Source: http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/72491/exclusive-video-kim-jeong-hoon-shows-off-taekkyon-skills-at-mwaves-meetgreet

Following promotions for his album 5091, Kim Jeong Hoon is set to star in action drama City of the Sun, a Korean remake of a Japanese drama, and Kim Jeong Hoon divulged details on the upcoming project.

Filming for the drama will kick off mid-August, but Kim Jeong Hoon gave fans a sneak peek, most notably showing off his Taekkyon (a traditional form of the martial art Taekwondo) skills.

He prefaced the demonstration by stating, “I can’t do it well, because your pelvis has to be completely flexible. Your legs have to stretch at least 180 degrees. I’m not very flexible, so a stunt double will probably do a lot of the stunts.”

During the music video commentary segment of the live MEET&GREET, Kim Jeong Hoon revealed the music video was filmed with a high speed camera, and the result is the reel being played at normal speed.

The Day may be a pleasant ballad, but Kim Jeong Hoon revealed lip syncing to the sped up version during the shoot proved to be a difficult task.

During the show, Kim Jeong Hoon also alluded to comments that he hasn’t aged at all over the years, stating “How is my voice still the same? I find that to be stranger. I thought my voice would age, but it’s exactly the same as my 20s.”

If you're wondering what this show is like, take a look at soompi introduction:

"The Genius is a Korean reality game where 13 people compete in games that test their logical thinking and social skills. There is a total of 12 rounds (or 12 episodes). In order to win, one must have a great strategy that will make him or her survive. Every episode one person gets eliminated and the final victor will be named the champion.

The currency in this game is called a garnet. Each garnet is worth 1,000,000 won. By the end, the champion's garnets are exchanged for real money. It may be provided before the game or gained within the game.

Each round will have a Main Match and a Death Match. All players participate in the Main Match where a winner and an elimination candidate is determined. The winner is given immunity. The elimination candidate will then have to choose another person without immunity to go to the Death Match with him or her. The Death Match will then take place and the loser gets eliminated in the round and his or her garnets will be given to the winner of the Death Match.

Kim Jung-hoon headlines remake of Japanese drama

English article about Jeong Hoon's drama "City of the Sun", from dramabeans.
I'm a little bit worried when I read that the drama hasn't got a broadcaster yet @_@

"Kim Jung-hoon headlines remake of Japanese drama

by girlfriday | July 28, 2014

There’s a Korean-Japanese co-production in the works to remake Tetsu no Hone (Bones of Steel), based on the Ikeido Jun novel of the same name. The Japanese drama aired on NHK in 2010, and the Korean remake, described as an action drama, is gearing up to start shooting this summer. The adaptation will be called City of the Sun, and actor Kim Jung-hoon (Her Legend, I Need Romance, Goong) has confirmed that he’ll be headlining and has begun training for the stunt-heavy role.

The drama is about corporate corruption in the construction business, and the hero is an employee who finds out just how deep the corruption goes and contemplates going up against the construction company he works for. It’s a familiar world in dramaland — the dirty backdoor politicking that goes on behind the chaebol giants — but if it’s painted with darkness and the writing is sharp, it could be a really thrilling tale.

At the helm is director Park Ki-hyung of movies Gangster High and Acacia, and the drama is planned for a 20-episode miniseries. The thing that makes me wary is the fact that it doesn’t have a broadcaster but is planning to cast and begin production relatively soon. It’s not that pre-produced dramas ALL do badly, but this drama does strike up negative associations. Let’s say we wait till a broadcaster picks it up before counting our chickens, shall we?

[Eng] Kim Jeong Hoon Explains Rumors About His Family, Image and More

A long and interesting article about Kim Jeong Hoon's interview a while ago.

[Interview] Kim Jeong Hoon Explains Rumors About His Family, Image and More

2014.07.05 16:00

A former member of UN, Kim Jeong Hoon explained the numerous rumors about him.

Releasing a new solo mini album on July 3, singer and actor Kim Jeong Hoon met with Newsen and shared his thoughts on the ‘prince’ image he had when he was a member of UN.

About his ‘prince’ and ‘umchinah’ image, Kim Jeong Hoon said, “I felt pressured but I felt grateful to hear that when I was at that age. But now it’s really embarrassing. I’m a lot older and I feel pressured and embarrassed to be called those things when there are so many pretty boys out there now.”

He then explained the numerous rumors surrounding him one by one.

Kim Jeong Hoon started, “There was a rumor saying that my family is a chaebol but that’s not true. My father is a government worker and my mother is a housewife.”

He continued, “Many people also think that I am a perfectionist but I’m not. I’m very easy going. Sometimes I get things started and never get to finish them. I make a fuss over small things and become broadminded about big things. I have many flaws.”

Lastly, Kim Jeong Hoon explained that he is not as smart as people think he is. He said, “Many people told me that I was elite in the past but this is not true anymore. I can’t even go on KBS 2TV’s 1 vs. 100 with my brain now. Of course I would do well if they only gave out questions related to science, which I’m interested in, but I don’t know anything when it comes to politics, economics, current events or social culture.”

Having explained the rumors that surrounded him for the past 14 years, Kim Jeong Hoon revealed his future plans and dreams.

“I don’t live my life according to a plan. I tend to just go with what happens. Now that I’m older, I would like to study more when I have the time and try teaching others. I also want to make a company with people around me to train junior entertainers. I once said that I want to make a research institute and I still would like to. I want to live my life happily.”

Meanwhile, Kim Jeong Hoon’s new mini album releasing on July 3 contains four songs, including the title song One Day (translated).
