Finnish fan meets Jaejoong in LA

As many of you know, the boys of JYJ / JaeChunSu (Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu) recently traveled to Los Angeles, California to record their new album and it seems Jaejoong met a unique fan.



It’s quite common to see Caucasian and blonde girls in the city of Angels but this one was a bit different because she’s from Finland. The Finnish fan was quite surprised to bump into Jaejoong while on vacation in Los Angeles, but it seems Jaejoong was equally as surprised to know that he has fans all over the world. Check out the fan account below courtesy of Jejungi @ Livejournal:



Now about Jaejoong, I mean more about him now that i have almost calmed down.
So i stayed at Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills and there was one nice evening when i was innocently shopping in the mall opposite the hotel. When i came back to the hotel i saw that there was a photoshoot going again. I walked past near there was two older korean guys and one effin’ stylist young man. I just walked past the young man like “uh okay” until i realized that “Ops Jaejoong!!” :??-DDD



At that moment when i realised that it was him i started to hyperventilate, i didn’t know should i start crying or laughing and i was a major fangirl GLAD HE DIDN’T SEE THAT MOMENT!
Then i went back was like “Are you really Jaejoong…..”
and then his translator was really happy and sai “Yes, do you known him?” Poor Jae was totally stiff/frozen, he was like a lost little boy:D <3 and i answered something along like]“Omg, seriously of course i know him” and then i explained that DBSK is cool and “How’s Junsu” and got something said in Korean too.



And it was a topic of wonder that i’m from Finland, the translator guy said that “I think Jaejoong is actually more shocked by the fact that he’s got a fan from Finland than you’re by him right now” … :D
Then i asked is it possible to take a picture with Jae, the old translator guy was like “YESYESYES!” then he took the picture by my camera. I got to stay in Jaejoong’s arms a little longer because the translator was failing with the camera and Jaejoong was giggling cutely at him. :”)



So there was the story, he said that Junsu was fine at that moment and that Jaejoong just talked to him (Junsu) by phone. Jaejoong himself was fairly depressed which is understandable, but he wasn’t arrogant or anything. So dammn cute and genuinely puzzled about the situation :D and actually he was shorter than i imagined, 180cm is not as much as i though. He had effin’ stylist clothes and big head and eyes far from each other and contact lenses :???)
so observations like this. And of course the muscles
yeah right and a packet of cigarettes :?????D♥ I busted you Jaejoong



Thanks to Angelzombie2 for the tip and Chosun for reporting on the story.

G-Dragon is scared of Se7en?

Most V.I.P’s know that G-Dragon is very strict towards his fellow Big Bang members, obviously because he is the leader and wants them to work extremely hard.



But it seems like he took this “attitude” from a past role model and sunbae.



Yang Hyun Suk of YG Entertainment stated, “Big Bang and 2NE1 are very fearful of Se7en. He was strict towards them when they were trainees, and adding to that, he was one of the hottest stars with loads of charisma. I myself, am scared of G-Dragon the most, but the most scariest person to him is Se7en.”



Se7en being the boss was shown to the public in the past on Big Bang’s documentary prior to their debut (you can find it on Youtube).



Se7en had held his comeback party at a club, and expressed his thoughts on why Big Bang and 2NE1 succeeded. He stated, “Each member for both groups fill in their individual parts very well. They have great teamwork, a musical style that is different, and extraordinary fashion sense. As a sunbae, I am very proud.”



He then continued, “A few years ago, I was looking up to everyone, but now there are a lot of people looking up to me. The new building for our company also gives off a fresh feeling. It has everything you need from your trainee days to your singing career. Even in America, there is no company like this. I can totally say that building-wise, YG is the best entertainment company in the world.”



He ended by saying, “YGE has truly evolved compared to the past.”

Ha Ji-won returns to television with Secret Garden

Secret Garden has cast Ha Ji-won to star opposite Jang Hyuk in the “fantasy romantic comedy” drama set to air on SBS later this year. Note that the contract is “not finalized yet” — and we know why that’s a tricky deal — but the production company announced the casting on July 20 as though it were a done deal.



Ha will play a beautiful, skilled stuntwoman named Kil La-im (it is a Korean name despite being rather unusual) who “gets entangled with the immature and prickly Joo-won,” a department store president and chaebol played by Jang Hyuk. Also starring is Yoon Sang-hyun (Queen of Housewives) as a washed-up Hallyu star (haha) named Oscar, with whom Ha Ji-won and Jang Hyuk will fall into a love triangle.



Philip Lee (Story of a Man), and Kim Sarang (Tokyo Showers) are also cast, he as a martial arts director and she as a CF director. The drama has also been the source of speculation as to whether ex-2PM star Jaebum will sign on as a rookie singer named Sun.



This will be Ha’s first drama in nearly four years, ever since she played the famed gisaeng Hwang Jini in the drama of the same name. Since then, her film career has taken off with hits like disaster flick Haeundae and melodrama My Love By My Side. She’s slated for another film this year, the action blockbuster Sector 7.



Secret Garden will replace Life Is Beautiful on weekends and is scheduled to premiere in September. The project comes from the team that did On Air and Lovers In Paris, PD Shin Woo-chul and Kim Eun-sook.
