Holy smokes, who knew Big Bang’s Daesung had a body like that? Now if only he would uncover his face with that mask…

This photo is of Daesung’s character in the upcoming drama, ‘What’s Up‘ where he plays a student majoring in musical studies. Not too sure how this picture represents a student, but I guess we’ll have to watch the drama to find out!

Looks like Taeyang might have some competition in the “Hot Body” category… In the meantime, stay tuned for more news on Daesung’s upcoming drama!

A photo showing a news anchor that resembles Korea's national MC, Yoo Jae-suk was spread on the internet today.

The photo was captured from the American movie “Step Up 2″. The actor who looks like Y00 Jae-suk appeared in the movie as a local news reporter.

Netizens were surprised when they saw the photo.

They commented:

"I can't stop laughing when I saw this."

"Totally looks like the same person."

"Did Yoo Jae-suk really put on makeup and shot for the movie?"

What do you think? Will Yoo Jae-suk feel surprised when he discovers this?

Sandara Park wants to take it slow for acting

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 06:14 AM PDT

You may wonder when will the 2NE1 member Sandara Park officially become an actress after you watched her hidden potential on 2NE1 TV?

This is what she answered in an interview "I always wanted to challenge acting. But right now, I just want to focus more on music." She is probably still disappointed with her performance in the drama “The Return of Iljimae” which aired in 2009. She confessed, "When I was monitoring the drama with a few people after the shooting, they were all quiet and made no comment. It seems like acting is still difficult for me."

I think she needs support from the fans more than anything right now.

Check out the fan made video clip below and tell me will you support her if she acts again!

Where is “Mischievous Kiss” headed?

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 05:15 AM PDT

The audience may not be affectionate in Korea,but there will be plenty of love abroad!

Before it aired in Korea, the popularity of the drama was so vast 12 other countries kissed their money goodbye and took a chance on “Mischievous Kiss”. Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, United States,and many more purchased the comic book drama series totaling around 3.4 million dollars!

They say you can’t buy love,but apparently you can buy a little “kiss“! No other Korean drama in history has sold more than“Mischievous Kiss”. In December, Mnet Japan plans to air the drama twice a week. Take that, Gloria!

POPSEOULers, put your mind at ease, Kim Hyun-joong’s show may not be doing very well in Korea,but there is always hope the show will be coming to your country soon.
