[hyuckxoxo]

does anyone know if he has any future movie plans??

[rouselle]

He said during the SBS Awarding Ceremony last Dec. 31 that he like to do
another TV drama (he presented the best actress award to Song Hye Kyo) after finishing his movie I got you babe. But in his website Acejanghyuk
there's an article that he;ll do another movie with the younger actress in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

[juhjuh]

I thought the first article didn't show up because there was some error when I posted it. But anyway, here's another translated article! Enjoy!

ARTICLE 2

The first music album of JH contains totally 15 songs. 14 of the lyrics were written by JH, and they shooted totally 8 music videos. The album being sold now is his 2 CD album. One contains songs, and the other contains music videos.

To make 8 music videos, 300 million Won was used. The actresses were Jeon JiHyun and Lee NaYoung. With Jeon JiHyun, he shooted a love scene in the video "Hey Girl", but because they had been very friendly before as a brother and sister, bursts of laughters produced a lot of NGs. Jang Hyuk used to attend the same acting school as well as Jeon JiHyun when they had no fame, and He gave some acting lessons to Jeon JiHyun. So between them the feeling as a family is much stronger than that between two performers.


At their nameless days, the two came to their management office when school was over, and did things such as making coffee for guests, cleaning the office, answering the phone when their managers were busy. They did those not because sombody ordered but because they volunteered thinking "This is our family's place. We should make this office clean and nice". Now JH thinks it's a pity that he doesn't have time to drink Soju together with his managers.


The reason why JH decided to sing songs (Exactly to say, raps) is because he thought singing will help him to make him have an image as an actor. Through the image of sining JH, he thought he could dilute the strong image he obtained until then. After diluting his former image, he could more easily show his unknown features at movie screens, he thought. So as we know "TJ project" come to the world.

"TJ project" means the team who're co-making the album with JH. "J" means Jang Hyuk's first Initial. And "project" means that their gathering itself is a kind of project. As the meaning of the team, JH will take a life as a singer only for one month, and then will act in the movie "Volcano High" from mid-September.


----------------------------------------------------------------
These are epigram's annotations.
Jeon JiHyun : The very famous actress who starred at My Sassy Girl. Initially, she caught all koreans' eyes with a CF with a fantastic sexy dance. It was like a Jeon JiHyun syndrome in korea. Then she proved herself to be very competitive in acting with movies like Il Mare and My Sassy Girl.

Lee NaYoung : When you see korean TV, you can easily find her either in cell-phone CFs or in cosmetic brand CFs. But compared to her acting ability, she had not been successful in movies. She acted in movies such as "The dream of angel", "Who are you". Recently, her TV drama "do as you wish" made a sensation in Korea. This one is not a mega hit to all generation. But young generation went crazy to see this drama.

Soju : A very famous korean alcohol about 25 degree. Soju is appreciated as koreans' official alcohol.

hey, if anyone has seen the movie volcano high in korean and then seen it in english on mtv, is it even the same script? or as the dialogue been changed?

[Usagi Mylene]

Not only was the script changed, the movie was HEAVILY edited. Stuff was cut out, sences moved around ,stuff that was deleted out of the movie (I have the DVD with deleted stuff) was added in to the MTV verison.

Like one difference I can tell you right off the bat was in MTV verison the girl wanted him to sign a "confession" that he put her boyfriend in jail. The Korean verison, she wanted him to join the kendo club.

You want more? ^.^

they changed stuff around....

I watched the MTV version first then the Korean Version.....they changed some scences around and the MTV version it was sorta choppy compared to the Korean Version. There'sdefinately more of tha story with the Korean Version, but the MTV version appeals to the more boarder American audience by highlighting the fight scences

Sammi will be attending MTV Asia Awards held in Singapore Indoor Stadium on 14 February...finally she is coming!haha

here is the little news :

Sugababes, A*Mei, Sammi Cheng For MTV Asia Awards 2004!
January 30, 2004

The MTV Asia Awards 2004 is absolutely going to be babelicious with sexy British pop princesses, Sugababes, Taiwanese songbird, Chang Hui Mei (affectionately known as A*Mei) and sensational Queen of Canto Pop, Sammi Cheng, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Valentine's Day. They will be adding that flaming feminine touch that will leave a blazing trail in the hearts of fans and viewers. Taiwanese hip-hop group, Machi, will also be attending the awards and setting the crowd into a rhythmic grove with their infectious brand of music.

Winner of the Favourite Artist Hong Kong category for 2002 and 2003, Sammi Cheng is recognized for her immense musical talent and nominated again for this year. More than just the Queen of Canto Pop, she is also a coveted actress of the Hong Kong film industry, starring in countless movies over the years. This beautiful and multi-talented lady often features her songs into her films, continuing the tradition of the complementary marriage of Cantonese music and cinema. More recently, she released a greatest hits album, Mi Century Greatest Hits, and launched her new film starring with Jerry Yen and Andy Lau called Magic Kitchen.

sammi uttered she will be attending no matter she will win or not...
maybe coz she has won twice before and she didn't even attend...now it's the time she comes...i don't know why i have strong feeling she will win for the 3rd-row Way to go Sammi!
