[NEWS] JIRO WANG STARS IN ABSOLUTE DARLING

Wu Chun suddenly dropped out of GTV’s Absolute Darling, Jiro Wang was invited to replace his role. GTV Deputy General Manager Mr. Lai said that Jiro accepted the offer with “gratitude at heart”, subtly criticizing Wu Chun for dropping out irresponsibly.

Last September, Wu Chun & Ku Hye Sun attended the press conference of Absolute Darling. However, Wu Chun dropped out of the drama with the reason that he was no longer suitable for menga adaptation, and he thinks the script & the role of a robot don’t fit him. He wants to focus on movies in the second half of this year.

Absolute Darling has started filming days ago, Mr. Lai praised Ky Hye Sun for being supportive. “it states in the contract that she has the right to drop out if there’s change of male lead”. He also acclaimed Jiro that he “has a heart of gratitude”. In regards to the issue about breach of contract for Wu Chun’s drop-out, Mr. Lai said, “that will be handled by management agency”, and when asked if they would work with Wu Chun in future, he said, “that will be handled by production company”

Jiro helped out for the cast, he attended a media luncheon with Ku Hye Sun yesterday. He was asked if he’s worried that people would make comparison between him & Wu Chun. He avoid answering the question by reinforcing that “basicallyI think the script is very good”. When he was asked repeatedly, he pretended to have forgotten and said, “what was that? What did you ask?”. And he said at last, “there’s no need to compare as he has not started the drama yet”. Obviouly he doesn’t want to be compared, but to prevent any misunderstanding, he added, “We are good friends, thus we are not bothered by this issue”

Ku Hye Sun was also involved in the secret marriage of Seo Tai Ji & Lee Ji Ah, she explained, “I have not even met STJ. It may be because our boss knows him, thus creating some misunderstanding. This kind of news is nonsensical.”

LEE MIN HO MAKES IMPRESSIVE COME BACK AFTER 1 YEAR


Actor Lee Min Ho is receiving a lot of attention from foreign media.

Lee Min Ho’s upcoming soap opera “City Hunter” ’s popularity has surpassed its national boundaries. For instance, eastern entertainment media in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and Thailand have not hesitated to mention Lee Min Ho’s success in their news channels.

Lee Min Ho casted “City Hunter” in Thailand’s dense forest at the end of March. He portrayed an exotic lifestyle as he rode a huge elephant and performed many tree stunts.

He further stimulated viewer’s curiosity about the series as he showed off his superior body line to portray himself as a tough “Hunter”.

Lee Min Ho pulled off “City Hunter” with attractive male features. His intense stare pared with simple and nice clothes complimented his image like a pictorial shoot.

The “Hunter Look” was nick-named by viewers to describe Lee Min Ho’s clothing style, which was sponsored under the suit brand “Trugen” in which Lee Min Ho worked as a model for three years. Lee Min Ho played as the character Lee Yoon Sung who had graduated MIT with a Ph.D and become an intelligence agent in the Blue House.

Lee Min Ho is filming the drama with higher passion than usual because it is his come-back production after one year. He will display further toughness and sweetness for his male character role on “Boys Before Flowers” and “Personal Taste”.

Lee Min Ho Fights One VS Twelve for “City Hunter”
Actor Lee Min Ho fought against twelve men for a scene in his upcoming drama “City Hunter.” In early April, he shot a muddy fight sequence, and photos of the shoot have been released. Lee plays multi-talented Lee Yoon Sung, a MIT graduate who works in the Blue House National Communications Team. Not only is Lee Yoon Sung extremely smart, he’s also skilled in several areas – including the martial arts.
Even in freezing temperatures, he managed to heat up the set with his powerful moves. He refused to use a stunt double for the scene and fought through the cold rain in nothing but a wife beater and jeans. It’s been said that Lee prepared for this action sequence for some time. As a result, he completed the scene perfectly without any NGs (no good scenes). It was probably hard enough to stand still in the mud, let alone fight and act in it. However, both Lee Min Ho and his action skills still managed to shine despite being covered in mud.
Lee Min Ho received formal martial arts training for several months. He practiced Arnis and Kali, a class of Filipino martial arts that emphasize weapon-based fighting. Many Korean fans became aware of Arnis and Kali through 2010’s blockbuster movie “Ajusshi” starring Won Bin.
He displayed confidence and skill as he performed the scene against twelve other professionals. The rest of the cast and crew were left dazed with his perfect chemistry with the stunt team. Representatives of the production team stated, “Lee Min Ho managed to melt away the freezing temperatures with his passionate hot moves. He’s definitely matured as an actor and became manlier. Fans can expect great things from Lee Min Ho in ‘City Hunter.’”
“City Hunter” is based on the best-selling Japanese manga by Hojo Tsukasa. SBS will broadcast its first episode on May 25th
