| Chun Jung-myung goes solo with new company Posted: 08 Jan 2011 05:30 AM PST You can add Chun Jung-myung to the list of stars breaking off on their own to form their own management companies, as he has announced his intention to go solo with his longtime manager. There’s always speculation of a big star going this route when (s)he nears the end of his/her contract with an existing company, since once an actor amasses enough clout, it’s beneficial for himself to manage his career on his own (and bring in more money). Those who have done so in recent years include Song Seung-heon and Choi Ji-woo; some actors who made the jump years ago currently enjoy additional careers as management CEOs for rising talents. Those include Bae Yong-joon with BOF and Keyeast, and Lee Byung-heon with BH Entertainment. Chun’s rep said in an interview on the 6th, “After his contract ended with his previous agency, he thought about which direction to go in, and decided to start his own company. Aside from Chun Jung-myung, we’re prepared to pursue various activities in the entertainment industry with four new actors.” Chun was last seen (though sadly wasted) in last year’s KBS drama Cinderella’s Sister, and is busily preparing for his new drama, an MBC Monday-Tuesday offering, The Duo. Co-starring Lee Sang-yoon and Han Ji-hye, the fusion sageuk series unfolds around two men who were switched at birth and lived each other’s wildly disparate lives — one as a poor slave, one as a nobleman.

| Kim Soo-hyun cleans up for Dream High Posted: 07 Jan 2011 08:38 PM PST In the little we’ve seen of Kim Soo-hyun in the new youth drama Dream High, all we’ve seen is his rural bumpkin character dressed up curiously like a homeless man — one lit up by Kim’s boyish charm, but a homeless man nonetheless. But thanks be, we’ll get to see him sporting a more kempt appearance soon, according to these new stills. Below is how we’ve seen him thus far, sporting his homemade burlap-sack hoodie: (...) © javabeans for Dramabeans, 2011. | Permalink | 34 comments | Add to del.icio.us  |
| Behind the scenes on the set of Athena Posted: 07 Jan 2011 04:22 PM PST I love seeing happy pictures from a serious drama. These stills from the set of Athena: Goddess of War show the cast in a much lighter mood behind the scenes, when they’re not busy running around saving the world. I’m really enjoying the drama thus far, mostly because although it’s the same old spy stuff, it’s got a really great cast of characters that makes me invested in the action. Kim Min-jong as the shady Northern defector-turned-ally is my personal favorite, and I’m also really digging Su Ae and Jung Woo-sung‘s dynamic, wherein she’s the uber-badass black-ops spy, and he’s the competent but less-badass slacker. There’s actually a moment where he’s smitten with her because he watches her kill people. It’s sick and twisted and totally awesome, only because they’re both spies, and he has no idea the extent of her actual badassery. The stills are from the latest episodes in Japan, and also on the set of NTS headquarters. Athena airs Monday-Tuesday on SBS.

| Jung Yumi and Gong Yoo team up in Crucible Posted: 07 Jan 2011 11:21 AM PST Gong Yoo (Finding Kim Jong-wook) and Jung Yumi (Oki’s Movie) have been cast in the movie Crucible, which is adapted from a novel of the same name by author Gong Ji-young. (I’m not very up on the Korean literary scene, but Gong is a name I recognize, having been recommended to me by a friend and also by my mother; she’s a popular and well-regarded novelist.) The book is based on a real-life rape case that occurred at a Gwangju school for the deaf, albeit reworked into a fictionalized retelling. The story centers around a teacher at the school and a human rights activist; the plot unfolds after an assault occurs in secret at the school, and follows the process as the tragedy is uncovered and becomes known to the outside world. Gong Yoo will play the teacher who is helped by Jung Yumi’s activist character, the latter of whom possesses a strong sense of justice and is an administrator at a human rights activism organization.
