J.Y. Park, Kim Tae Woo, 2AM’s Jinwoon and others play a game of basketball

On June 26th, a basketball game with celebrities and real ball players took place in the Seoul Jamsil Gymnasium.

The game was for the program "Again 1995! Basketball Go Yeon Jeon" on cable channel XTM, and the celebrity team was named "Rainbow Stars". There was the Hong Team and the Baek Team, and the Baek Team had J.Y. Park and Kim Tae Woo. The Hong Team had Julian and 2AM's Jinwoon, along with others. Both teams had professional players, so the game was quite a sight for those who were present in the stands.

J.Y. Park did not lag behind his hubaes, who are much younger than him. He commented, "I think basketball and football are sports that are most similar to dancing. I always play a game each week. I dance around two hours at a concert, but I only need to run 40 minutes for basketball. Dancing is harder and benefits your fitness skills."

Regarding the game, he said, "Moon Kyung Eun is a friend, Lee Sang Min and Woo Ji Won are close hubaes. We played games during school. I'm happy to be a part of a meaningful game."

Kim Hyun Joong becomes a one-day barista for “Save the Earth” campaign

On June 27th, SS501's Kim Hyun Joong paired up with clothing brand "Hang Ten Korea" for a special "Save the Earth" environmental awareness campaign at a cafe in Hannam-dong.

Kim Hyun Joong took over the cafe for a day and worked as a barista for visiting fans. Not only did he make the coffee for everyone, but also thanked the environmentally-friendly fans who brought in their coffee cups to turn them into mini plant pots.

The campaign itself will run for a full year this year in promotion of eco-conscious habits. Its main focus is to remind everyone not to throw away their coffee cups and to reuse them instead.

DSP Media explains Hara’s controversy on SBS’s ‘Running Man’

KARA's Hara recently came under an all too familiar controversy for speaking informally to her seniors during her guesting on the June 26th episode of SBS's 'Running Man'.

The episode featured her and No Sa Yeon as guests and the two took part on a 'queen bee race' as a mission. While waiting for the other members and looking outside a window, Hara said, "Are they Gary and HaHa oppa? Or Yoo-ssi? Yoo Jae Suk?" Later, while working on a mission with Song Ji Hyo, she said, "Ji Hyo has changed. Ah, Ji Hyo?"

It's customary for Koreans to add a title to the end of the names of seniors, and even juniors if you're unfamiliar with them, as an act of respect. The problem lay in the fact that she did not include a -nim, -ssi, or -sunbaenim (senior) at the end of their names.

Representatives of DSP Media cleared the issue with Star News, "As it is a variety program, Goo Hara tried to be funny. She's actually close with Yoo Jae Suk as well. She tried to be as comfortable as possible, but if that created misunderstandings with the viewers, we would like to apologize."

Meanwhile on June 27th, Hara wrote through her Twitter, "I just saw 'Running Man'. I'm really sorry. I made a mistake while only thinking of how to make it fun. I really didn't have such intentions. I was so immersed in the show and worked hard for it. In the future, I promise to pay more attention and be careful. I will be a Hara that always works hard."

After the broadcast, netizens had flocked to the board to write, "A variety is just a variety" and "She's just trying to be funny, let's try not to over-analyze the situation." Others wrote, "Even if it is a variety, it can make viewers uncomfortable."

CNBlue’s Jung Yong Hwa’s Irresistible Looks in “Heartstrings”

"Heartstrings" JS Pictures released a new collage of CNBlue's Jung Yong Hwa that focused on the singer actor's good-looking face and eyes. Jung Yong Hwa follows in the footsteps of his senior actors who played he irresistibly rude, arrogant, and charismatic male characters with Lee Shin in "Heartstrings." Lee Shin is a snobby guitar prodigy whose life revolves around his music. As the quintessential Mr. Darcy like character, Lee Shin has his share of arrogant stares and facial expressions where he looks down on others. JS Pictures put together a collage of Shin's haughty expressions and intense gaze.

In the past, Jung Yong Hwa has always shown his gentle and soft image. He's transformed 180 degrees for "Heartstrings" for a stubborn and egoist character. Park Shin Hye, who plays Lee Shin's love interest Lee Gyu Won, stated, "In 'Heartstrings,' the bright and kind Jung Yong Hwa I know has been long gone. It's all Lee Shin, and the change is evident even in his eyes."

Co-actress So Yi Hyun added, "'Heartstrings' is only Jung Yong Hwa's second project, and he's working really hard on his acting. I think everyone will fall in love with Jung Yong Hwa once they see his intense gaze." The youth melodrama also stars Song Chang Ui, Woori, and Kang Min Hyuk of CNBlue and focuses on young love, friendship, and dreams. "Heatrstrings" airs its pilot episode this coming Wednesday, June 29th, on MBC at 9:55 PM KST.
