Subject: Song Seung Hun In Love! Mon Feb 14, 2011 8:36 am
Actor Song Seung Hun has fallen in love! But don’t cry just yet! On Feburary 13th, Song Seung Hun uploaded a picture of himself and child actress Jun Min Suh on his Me2Day saying: “A picture with our young Sul! She’s so pretty! I’d be so happy to have a daughter like her in the future.”
Jun Min Suh played Kim Tae Hee’s childhood role in the MBC drama “My Princess”. In the picture, Song Seung Hun has a happysmile on his face with Jun Min Suh in his lap. To top it off, he did the same “flower stem” pose as she did. How cute! Netizens have responded positively saying things like “Her and Song Seung Hun really look alike”, “Song Seung Hun has joined the ‘fool for daughters’ ranks”, “They really look like father and daughter”, and so on. 2PM's Nichkhun also seems to adore Jun Min Suh. What a lucky little girl!

Song Seung-heon’s Ghost screens in LA
Listen up, Song Seung-heon fans: If you’re in the LA area, you’ll get a chance to pop in to see his move Ghost: Invisible Love, aka the remake of the Ghost film starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore from ye olden ’90s. (Seriously, they’ve even got the famous pottery-wheel scene.) The movie begins screening tomorrow, February 25, so be sure to set aside some time for some Song Seung-heon ogling. Yeah, there’s a plot too, but I’m sure you’ve all seen the original? It also stars Japanese actress Matsushima Nanako, who’s from the Ringu movies, although I know her better as the older sis from the Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) franchise. Courtesy of CJ Entertainment, Dramabeans readers get a discount to watch the film at Koreatown’s CGV Cinemas (the same theater that gave us giveaway tickets for Hello Ghost). Just print out the above coupon and take it with you to the theater to redeem. Easy as that!
We’ve talked about this movie a coupletimes before, and the Japanese-Korean co-production was released at home last fall. Lest you think it’s a cheesy scene-for-scene remake of the original, it boasts one key difference: The one who dies and revisits the lover is the woman, not the man — which is, let’s be honest, probably a good thing given Song’s rather limited (1) Japanese, and (2) melo skills. (Oh, the guy can do the glowering action star act in his sleep; it’s heartfelt emotion that his bot-programming has yet to master.) The movie is in Japanese, and screens with Korean subtitles. (I know, it’s too bad there’s no English subs, but again, we’re mostly watching this for The Pretty, right?)

Subject: Song Seungheon is not dating Kim TaeHee Sat Mar 05, 2011 3:51 am
Actor Song Seung-heon (35) clarified the scandal between him and Kim Tae-hee among entertainment people.
At an interview on the 2nd somewhere in Seoul, he said no when he was asked if he was seeing Kim Tae-hee.
However he said, "I have been with her on stage for the Andre Kim Fashion show as models and we go to the same salon so I know her. She is an Attractive person".
In the recently ended MBC drama "My Princess" the two acted as lovers Park Hae-young and Lee Seol. They managed to look like a real couple through their hugging scenes, dating scenes and kiss scenes.
"It was difficult acting with someone as beautiful as Kim Tae-hee when the role of Lee Seol was supposed to be not pretty and reckless. There was a line where Park Hae-young (Song Seung-heon) said to Lee Seol (Kim Tae-hee), "With your face? You think that'll work?", but it wasn't easy".
Song Seung-heon's ideal type is widely known as Han Ga-in. In an interview during the drama "East of Eden" in 2008, he said his type was Han Ga-in and even in KBS 2TV "Sweet Night" he picked Han Ga-in as his type in the "Ideal Type World Cup".
In the broadcast then, Kim Tae-hee, Song Hye-kyo, Son Ye-jin, Kim Hee-seon, Lee Da-hae, Han Chae-young and many other female stars were up for runners

Subject: “I’m discovering that acting is fun”: Song Seung-heon interview Mon Mar 07, 2011 7:01 am
You know the general feeling ’round here about Song Seung-heon (My Princess, East of Eden), who is known mostly for his inverse looks-to-talent ratio. So imagine my surprise when I read this interview where he’s endearingly frank, and jaw-droppingly self-aware…which is just NOT how I imagined the guy who has but one serious facial expression…which is neither serious nor expressive. I mean, he literally admits to spending a good part of his career just trying to look cool. HA. The 35-year old model-turned-actor debuted sixteen years ago, and I first saw him on the sitcom Three Men, Three Women which ran from 1996-1999. Seeing him in a sitcom first explains why I generally like him, despite his lack of dramatic chops, because he’s always been good at funny. Not in a crafted, obvious comedic way, but in a poke-fun-at-himself way. He makes reference to his character on the show, whose entire concept was that he was the only one who thought he was funny. It was 2000′s Autumn Fairy Tale that launched him into Hallyu stardom (and the subsequent slew of serious, melodramatic roles). Thankfully he’s come back around to comedy with My Princess, which has garnered him praise as an actor…maybe for the first time ever. Here’s a translation of the interview he did with Yonhap News, the day after My Princess wrapped.
Spoiler:
Have you slept? They say My Princess‘s schedule was murder. We filmed the last episode until 6pm the day it aired and then went straight to the wrap party. I didn’t drink very much, but I totally crashed. I think I was just so tired. My manager put me in the car and drove me home, and then said it took an hour to wake me up once we got there. And then I finally opened my eyes at 7 this morning. I don’t know if it’s because I slept so little for two months, but I couldn’t sleep for very long. I didn’t see the last episode because of the wrap party, so I woke up and watched it. How do you feel about it now that it’s over? Any regrets? Honestly, there were times during the shoot when I really thought we weren’t going to make it to air with that episode. The schedule was that unbelievable. I’m just relieved we finished in one piece. Of course there are things I regret. But the genre and the character were fun. I think any experience in the end makes me who I am.
Why did you choose a romantic comedy now, and why did you wait till now to do one? With the drama East of Eden and the film Invincible, I was doing a lot of heavier projects, and I kept hearing from people that they missed the ‘Unfunny Song Seung-heon’ from my debut days, in the sitcom Three Men, Three Women. And then this project came in. Episodes 1-4 were already written, and they were really funny. But then I didn’t know that starting with Episode 5, the scripts would start coming in late. (Laughs) Why didn’t I do a romantic comedy earlier? When I was younger I wanted to look cool. Back then, more than a happy ending, I wanted to do projects that had a resonance. What’s it like now that you’ve tried a romantic comedy? A lot of people are saying that you’ve ‘found your clothes.’ I’m always putting on a serious face, with heavy acting, so this time I got to have fun. It really felt like I just came to play. The schedule was hard, but the acting itself was really fun. I’m always playing roles where I’m trying to look cool while carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, but I didn’t have to do that for this role so I liked that. (Laughs) If I have the chance, I’d like to try a romantic comedy movie as well.
You’ve never had so many cutesy love scenes as you did here. Could it be that you really fell in love with Kim Tae-hee? If you see it that way, that means we acted really well. (Laughs) I just shot it comfortably like we were really dating. Park Hae-young’s childish and playful side is a lot like me. But when I’m dating, I’m more aggressive than Park Hae-young, so his passive expressions of affection became really frustrating for me. Park Hae-young was hesitant to marry Lee Seol, but in real love, when would that happen? If it were me, I would’ve said, ‘Let’s just run away.’ It’s great that you’ve found a role that fits your image so perfectly, but is there any regret that you didn’t do this sort of genre in your twenties, when Song Seung-heon was ‘prettier’? You’re now in your mid-thirties. Do you feel older? Honestly, I don’t. In our drama, Lee Ki-kwang is 22, and that actually did surprise me, that he’s so young. But I still feel like I’m a high school sophomore. It might be because I still hang out with the same friends from that time, but if I look at the way my friends and I play now and back then, it’s the same. (Laughs) Even if you don’t feel your age, you must feel some change. What’s changed? My approach to acting has changed. It happened since I came back from the army. A sense of responsibility is something I feel more and more, and I’m discovering a sense of enjoyment in new things. Before when I received a script, I would just act it out like a machine. But now I think about what else I could bring to the scene that isn’t written there, and I have room to look past myself. I’m not trying to make myself stand out anymore; I’ve learned the importance of harmony. I learned I can’t just do things according to my own ambition, but that fans should be able to watch and enjoy the project. If before I did things to serve my own ambition or to appear cool, now I think about what I can do for fans through this project. I received letters from foreign fans who wrote that they came to know Korea because of me, and it made me feel the effects of Hallyu. I don’t think I thought about those things before. But now I think they instill a sense of responsibility in me. I’m also having more fun. It’s not just because it’s work anymore, but now I want to enjoy acting and have fun. There’s still a lot of talk about my acting skills, but that’s just something I have to work at, and aside from that, I’m discovering that acting is fun and I’m learning to enjoy it.
Why weren’t you ambitious about your acting before? When I was younger I never dreamed of being an actor. I was an ordinary kid and became an ordinary college student. And then in 1995 someone who worked for a fashion label came into where I was working part-time, and asked if I wanted to enter a modeling contest. And then they picked me, and all of a sudden I was a model. Kim Sung-jae was the main model and So Ji-sub and I were just starting, and then when Kim Sung-jae died suddenly, somehow So Ji-sub and I became the main models. And then after that, I came to do Three Men, Three Women. Without any preparation. So I started without any ambition to feed, and I got an enormous amount of criticism, saying that I couldn’t act. But now it’s different. Now acting is the best I can do, and it’s a career that I’ve invested more than ten years in. In my twenties, I just thought, ‘This must be what I’m doing.’ But now I’ve come to think about the fans and the public before myself. Do you have any fears? Do you ever worry about losing popularity? Ever since I was a newbie, I always had it drilled into my head not to be attached to popularity. So I’m actually not the type to be concerned with that too much. Of course, I’m human, so it’s better to be popular than not, but it’s not like I could be a youth star forever. While working on My Princess with Lee Soon-jae [who plays Grandpa], I saw how passionate he was, even at his age, and it made me want to become like him. I actually became ashamed of myself while watching him. He spent his youth digging deep to learn his craft, but I’ve never done that. I never dreamed of being an actor when I was young. So now I’m full of regret that I didn’t do the same.
What do you do on your down time? I go play with my friends or I exercise. I play golf. Now that I think about it, my life is kind of boring. (Laughs) Any plans for marriage? I really want to start a family. But that’s not so easy to do. I don’t have a partner. Who knows, someday somebody I’ll love will suddenly appear, and I might be talking about marriage.
Subject: Song Seung Hun, “I really miss Hae Young and Princess Lee Seol” ♥ Wed Mar 09, 2011 1:56 am
Hot star Song Seung Hun expressed his unending love for MBC’s drama “My Princess,” which ended in February. On March 8th, Song Seung Hun posted a photo on his me2day with the message, “A cut from the CF shooting set during break time! Like everyone else, I still really miss Hae Young (played by himself) and Lee Seol Princess (played by Kim Tae Hee) these days! I miss…”
In the photo, Song Seung Hun is wearing a white T-shirt while flashing his signature smile. The huge teddy bear that he’s hugging is especially eye-catching. It’s impressive to see the interesting contrast between the adorable teddy bear with a pink ribbon and Song Seung Hun’s sexy biceps. He further added to his fans, “Be careful not to catch a cold during the last chill before spring arrives. I’ll see you all soon!”.
Viewers showed heated reaction to this photo, remarking, "You’re cute and sexy simultaneously!,” “I still miss ‘My Princess’ so much, too,” “I wish I were the teddy bear that he’s embracing,” “I miss Hae Young so much that I started watching ‘My Princess’ from episode 1 again.”

Song Seung-heon, Nam Sang-mi up for SBS drama?
Rumors are swirling about Song Seung-heon (My Princess) being cast as the lead in the upcoming drama Forget Me Not, as well as actress Nam Sang-mi (Life Is Beautiful), although neither is a lock yet. However, it’s been teased that the drama will feature a main couple at the “top star level,” and both would fit that designation, though perhaps Song more than Nam. It’s interesting news (at least, to me) because (1) it’s Song Seung-heon, Mr. Big-Time Leading Man (also Hand Towel extraordinaire), and (2) the drama is by Kim Soo-hyun — the respected writer, not the Dream High/Giant budding star, and (3) the two abovementioned things seem at odds with each other.
Song’s management team has put out the official statement that no decisions have been made, which is common even when the star eventually takes on the project, so all that means is that it’s not final. A rep did confirm that he’d gotten the offer and is currently in talks about the role, but said that things had not gone beyond that point. On the other side is writer Kim, who’s known for being a hitmaker and has penned some huge dramas like Mom’s Dead Upset as well as the recent Life Is Beautiful; you may recall the incident where she spoke out strongly against the show’s decision to edit out out gay vows that she’d written into the script, which warms my heart. (Both her defense, and the actual scene, which you can read at that above link.) Kim has done a lot of longer weekend dramas, but at 24 episodes Forget Me Not will be her first miniseries in four years, since 2007′s My Man’s Woman. Also noteworthy is that this will also be helmed by the same PD who worked with her on the successful dramas mentioned above, and perhaps together they’ll be able to score another 40% hit. If the casting goes through, it’ll be interesting to see if Song can keep up; he ain’t exactly known for his dramatic chops, by reputation and by his own admission. However, he did pleasantly surprise me in My Princess — granted, he coasted a bit on Kim Tae-hee’s charm and his role of the perfect-man chaebol wasn’t terribly challenging, but he was light and funny and very, very hot. And Nam Sang-mi always makes me smile, with her sunny disposition and upbeat energy. Plus, together they are just gorgeous. Forget Me Not is being planned for Mondays and Tuesdays on SBS, following Warrior Baek Dong-soo, which puts its premiere in September.
