- Actor Jung Jae Young went bald for the first time in his acting career for a film role. He got his head shaved on July 8 in order to wear the wig that he needs to play an elderly man in Eekki (이끼). (KP’s note: I’m not sure what the English title will be because 이끼 is the Korean word for moss as well as the phrase “Dear me!/What a fright!”.)
Jung Jae Young
This is the third film – following Silmido and Public Enemy Returns – with famed director Kang Woo Suk directing Jung Jae Young. The movie is a thriller about people who live alone without family in a rural village and the secrets that unravel as a young stranger enters. Park Hae Il, Yoo Joon Sang, and Yoo Hae Jin have also been cast and will begin filming in August.
- Kim Min Joon (Friend, Our Legend) received a minor injury while making a guest appearance on Family Outing.

The leads of KBS2′s legal drama are currently sleeping less than two hours per night in order to film two episodes per week. The tight schedule is a result of the drama being pushed up two months due to SBS’s complaints against Magazine Allo. Fortunately, Partner‘s viewership went up over the past week from 7.7% (episode 4) to 12.1% (episode 5), surpassing Triple‘s weak 6.8%.

- Actor Kim Dong Wook (National Athlete) is currently studying legal terminology in preparation for his role in KBS2 drama Partner. He has been cast as Yoon Joon, the youngest lawyer at law firm Leekim. Yoon Joon comes from a rich family. He has a sensitive, “four-dimensional” personality and comes up with proposals that nobody else would think of. Although he bickers constantly with Choi Soon Yi (Shin Yi), a workaholic colleague who is seven years his senior, the two fall for each other. His character will show the new generation’s way of thinking.

KP’s note: Not that it indicates a lack of patriotism or anything, but I’m surprised that he would choose to wear a USA t-shirt and NYPD cap while reporting for Korean military service. I’m even more surprised that netizens and the press aren’t ripping him apart for it.
- Solo singer AJ (born Lee Ki Kwang) will be changing his stage name in time for the release of his second album in July. On June 1, a source from Cube Entertainment announced that the decision was made on their end due to the greater-than-expected backlash from Paran fans for “copying” the name of the group’s youngest member. Although AJ (Ace Junior) debuted with the same name only after consultation with people representing Paran, netizens attacked AJ for adopting the same name. The Cube Entertainment spokesperson said that despite the controversy, they maintain a good relationship with Paran’s representatives.

Ogamdo is a star-packed omnibus of five interconnected segments, each directed by a [different] top Korean director. Although the film’s main theme is eros, the poster states that it is “a story of more than eros”.
Lee Si Young Joins Ogamdo
**Update: It has just been confirmed that the six high school students will be played by (from top left to bottom right): Kim Dong Wook (Coffee Prince), Jung Eui Chul (DoReMiFaSol), Sin Se Gyeong (My Little Bride), Song Joong Ki (My Precious Child), Lee Si Young (Boys Over Flowers), and Lee Sung Min (The Invisible Man).
Ogamdo's "high school students"
Actress Lee Si Young has been newly added to the cast of Ogamdo (오감도).
The film, Ogamdo, will be directed by five famous directors, each in charge of a separate episode (segment). The five segments will have storylines that interconnect; the presumption is that its format will be similar to Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her.
Lee will be one of the main characters in the episode by director Oh Gi Hwan (The Art of Seduction). The storyline is about a couple-switch game between three couples in high school. **The six students will exchange their partners for a day. The intent is to show the impulsive, honest, lively, and refreshing characters of teenagers through the movie.
The entire movie has a large cast including Jang Hyuk, Kim Min Sun, and Kim Su Ro, Kim Kang Woo and has already started filming. The goal is to finish filiming by this spring and have the movie premiere mid-2009.
