Son Dam-bi for Elle magazine

Posted: 25 Oct 2010 10:38 AM PDT

Son Dam-bi recently shot a photo spread for Elle magazine in New York City.

The theme of the photo spread was a top actress who feels alone in the world despite the fame. Monica Vitti, a famous Italian actress from the 1960s-1970s, was the motif for this shoot.

For this spread, Son Dam-bi exuded both classic elegance and sex appeal. In the first picture above, she wore a gold sequin dress with pearl straps that accentuated her glamorous figure. With her dark eyebrows and voluminous hair, she looked like a Hollywood actress. In the picture below, she looked more sophisticated in a blouse and pants, with a coat hanging off her shoulders. With the oversized shades on, Son Dam-bi looked like an actress trying to go undetected from paparazzi in New York City.

After the photo shoot, Son Dam-bi stated, “I have a great passion for acting. I want to succeed as a singer and an actress. In that way, this photo shoot was very meaningful.”

Let’s hope her next acting project is better in quality and ratings than her first drama, SBS drama “Dream“.

"He'll be riding on the strength of his fans' love in order to release a digital single album in Korea. Two songs will be released on Korean music sites on the 26th. Through this album, listeners will be able to see an improved side of Park Jaebeom along with his competency as an artist. Jaebeom will always be putting his best effort forward for his music so we request that you give him your anticipation and love."

Today, Jay Park’s management company, Sidus HQ, announced the upcoming digital single(s) release of his songs’ “Speechless” and “Bestie“. The tri-lingual songs (Korean,English, and remix version [if you want to believe remix is a language]) will be released to the public again following their debut on iTunes and his official website.

After the success the songs have already received on iTunes(making it into the top 50 chart), do you think the former “Bestie” of 2pm will become “Speechless” again?

Kang Ji-young of KARA does a surprise appearance on KBS “Golden Bell”

Posted: 24 Oct 2010 05:21 PM PDT

Kang Ji-young of KARA did a surprise appearance on KBS “Golden Bell” (scholarship show different from “Star Golden Bell“).

With her school uniform and almost no make-up on, she looked like the innocent high school student she is, different from her charismatic image on stage. The 16 year-old idol star did a surprise appearance on the show because the show was filming at her own high school. When asked how often she comes to school, Kang Ji-young responded that she attends school everyday but due to her busy schedule, is unable to go to all of her classes. She continued by saying that she wanted to participate in KBS “Golden Bell” but she didn’t have enough confidence to try. Kang Ji-young also stated that there are a lot of smart friends at her school so they will do well.

It’s nice to see Kang Ji-young in her natural environment cheering on for her friends, isn’t it?
