Remembering Jang Jin-young Posted: 01 Sep 2010 10:36 AM PDT It’s been a year since actress Jang Jin-young lost the battle against stomach cancer, but she is still not forgotten.  On September 1st, loved ones of the fellow actress gathered at Sky Castle Memorial Park in Gyeonggi-do for the actress’s one-year memorial. Those who attended were her husband Kim Young-kyun,  her family, many people from her entertainment company Yedang Entertainment, and many fans from the actress’ official fan club J. Rose. To commemorate the actress, all brought flowers and words of recollection, and released balloons into the sky symbolizing that Jang Jin-young is in eternal peace. During the memorial, it started with a moment of silence to remember the beloved Jan Jin-young led by her manager, Kim Han-chul.  Soon after many letters and speeches were read out by members of J. Rose and Yedang Entertainment and following the speeches of her husband and her father. Her father, Jang Gil-nam, revived the memory of his daughter with, "Whenever I call out her name it feels like she would come running to me with her bright smile, but already a year has passed. The saying 'you bury your child in your heart' is piercingly heart-breaking ." He added, “For this past year, every time I came across little traces of you in each room, my heart collapsed into pieces." Her father also showed his gratitude for the love his daughter has received, "I thank all the fans who have shown love for Jin Young and Jin Young's dramas. Jin Young, I love you. I will love you forever." Jang Jin-young’s husband Kim Young-kyun said ,”It has been one year since you left my side and the people who loved you. Time passes so thoughtlessly. Why do I feel so embarrassed living by myself without you. Whenever I think of you, all I can say that I’m sorry." He continued with, "I can't see you again, you can't come back to me but because of our beautiful memories together I can live on without forgetting you. I dream of meeting you again and loving you forever. I won't say this is the end. I will just say goodbye and wait for the day I get to meet you again." Later, Jang Jin-young’s father concluded the memorial, "After one year, I can feel how important your own child is, and how well she took care of me. I regret not taking better care of her. What gets me the most is when I was against her going into acting. There was another time when I told her to just cut her hair with scissors, and when she went into acting I was too busy to give her attention due to work. Sometimes I think, if I let her do what she wanted a bit earlier, would we still have come to this conclusion today." Before losing the battle to cancer, Jang Jin-young was an outstanding actress with many movies, including ‘Scent of Chrysanthemums', 'Singles' and 'Blue Swallow'.  Although she is gone, Jang Jin-young’s mark will carry on and will be remembered by all. May Jang Jin-young always rest in peace.

Posted: 01 Sep 2010 10:24 AM PDT After her performance accident, Sistar‘s rapper, Bora, gives us some pictures of her fractured thumb. Along with the many selca poses, Bora explained what happened, "While holding the microphone, I fell down and the tip of my bone cracked. My thumb ended up in this shape." Many of you are probably worrying right now, but luckily, officials said that it would take three weeks to heal and she will be under good care. Bora and the other Sistars really need to be careful not to get more serious injuries. With the mix of happy and sad pictures, I’m sure Bora is up for a speedy recovery.

New group “2PR” is formed! Posted: 01 Sep 2010 05:46 AM PDT Age is not everything. Yoo Jae-suk and Park Myeong-soo want to prove that they can do better than 2PM and 2AM. This is why our national MC Yoo and his best friend, Park decided to form a group call “2PR“. Why “2PR“? Actually 2PR is the short form of Two Prince. This is not the first time Yoo challenged to be a singer. The potential singer made a great performance on MBC’s Infinite Challenge Singing Contest held last year. 2PR's first digital single will be produced by two famous music producers: E-Tribe and Tiger Muzic. What do  you expect from this new group? Do you think they can outdo idol groups like 2PM and 2AM?
