The event organizer put Choi Ji Woo on spot by making her participate in the Ideal World Cup game. Oh boy.

As soon as the photos of 8 actors whom she had partnered with in the past appeared on the jumbo screen, she knew she was in for a wild ride^^. Yoon Sang Hyun looked at the screen then looked at JW, he widely smiled, perhaps thinking she's in a big trouble now. JW was instructed to select one of the two actors who appeared on the screen as her ideal. The organizer determined in advance which actors would be paired together. Then, the winners would move on to round #2 to find the ideal man thus crowned the coveted Cup. so cliche but a fun game.



ROUND #1
1. Yoon Sang Hyun vs. Lee Byung Hun



Yoon Sang Hyun shook his head and said "surely, it won't be me". Detecting that she was in an awkward position, he continued "don't worry about me..just choose comfortably". Aww..YSH is seriously the sweetest man. (**touching my heart**)

And the winner.... Lee Byung Hun. As soon as she picked LBH, the room was in an uproar.

2. Jo Han Sun vs. Lee Jung Jae

Ji woo picked Lee Jung Jae

3. Kwon Sang Woo vs. Yoo Ji Tae

She picked Kwon Sang Woo

4. Yutaka Takenouchi vs. Bae Yoong Jun

In spite of the audience screaming for BYJ, she picked Yutaka! BYJ got eliminated. shocking!

ROUND #2
1. Lee Byung Hun vs. Lee Jung Jae



Not surprisingly, she picked Lee Byung Hun again.

2. Yutaka vs. Kwon Sang Woo

Yutaka stood firm against a long term friend Kwong Sang Woo

FINAL ROUND - ****DRUM ROLL ***



And the winner is LEE BYUNG HUN!!! Congratulations! Ching "Hyc" rest in peace, this one is for you sis!

Yoon Sang Hyun immediately asked why chose him? She said "Because LBH and I collaborated 3 times in the past, he's a senior and a good friend, that's why I voted for him."

Comment (by CECE):

YSH might have a good chance of moving on to round #2 had he not been paired with Lee Byung Hun. I thought that YSH should have been given the opportunity to play the ideal cup game, to be fair you know. But in the end, the winner is what we care about the most.

If I remember correctly, when asked about her ideal drama partner in a past interview, she too had chosen LBH. She mentioned LBH was a charismatic guy and he taught her important acting techniques. This is the same guy whom she claimed they used to talk for hours discussing over acting partners, directors, and projects. And about why she chose Yutaka over BYJ, err..I am as baffled as you are. haha.

I watched this Ideal World Cup game a lot in the past, and I used to question the validity of the answers especially when the participant is a big star. Are they giving a truthful answer or a safe answer? Is their selection based on appearance or personality or both? Lee Byung Hun, you'd better call Ji Woo to say "thanks for picking me and happy birthday". ^^

Are you surprised that the final round was LBH vs. Yutaka? I truly didn't expect YSH & BYJ to be eliminated in round one.

Lee Byung Hun will leave for the U.S. on June 20 to leave his hand prints in Hollywood.

Lee Byung Hun will leave for Los Angeles from Incheon International Airport with his staff on June 20 at 4:30 p.m. (KST).

Ahead of his hand printing, Lee Byung Hun will hold a few activities there, as well as conduct interviews.

On June 23 (local time) at 1 p.m. in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Lee Byung Hun will take part in the hand printing ceremony.




At the press conference for G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation in April, the actor had shared his feelings on the honor saying, “I couldn’t believe it at first and thought they were lying. I still can’t believe it now. I think only after I actually do the hand printing, will I realize it’s true. Making my prints in front of the Chinese Theater is something I never even dreamed of. It is a great honor.”

His agency BH Entertainment shared its feelings on the honor with enews saying, “Though we do think it’s a bit premature, it means Hollywood has that much interest in Lee Byung Hun.”

This hand printing event is part of the American agency Looking East’s two day ‘Looking East 2012 Korean Movie Festival’ to be held on June 23 and June 24.

The Grauman’s Chinese Theater served as the home of the Academy Awards from 1927 until 1946. The theater’s forecourt contains some 268 hand and foot prints of past and current celebrities.

[CDU ESL 연예뉴스 잉글리시 스캔들] 이병헌, 화보도 월드스타탑네!

이병헌이 ‘월드 스타’의 다양한 매력을 담은 화보를 공개했다. 퍼스트룩 화보를 통해 우수어린 남성미에서 위트 넘치는 표정까지 유니크한 매력을 발산했다. 이병헌은 현재 촬영 중인 영화 ‘광해, 왕이 된 남자’의 지방 촬영 중 잠시 서울에 올라와 화보를 촬영한 후 다시 지방에 내려가야 하는 급박한 일정이었지만 프로페셔널하게 촬영에 임해 현장 스태프들의 아낌없는 찬사를 받았다는 후문이다. 이병헌은 화보촬영과 함께 진행된 인터뷰에서 6월23일 할리우드 맨스차이니스 극장 앞 명예의 광장에 아시아 배우 최초로 핸드프린팅과 풋프린팅을 새긴다는 소식을 전하며 “할리우드 블러버드에 별 모양으로 늘어선 핸드프린팅은 인기 스타들이 부분 참여한다고 하더군요. 하지만 맨스 차이니스 극장 앞 명예의 광장은 평수가 제한되어 있기 때문에 선정 과정이 엄청 까다롭데요. 믿기지 않는 일이었죠“라고 답하며 감격의 소감을 전했다. 김용호 기자 Lee Byeong Hun disclosed pictorial shoots portraying various attractions of the world star. He gave off his unique charm from melancholy masculine to witty looks through the first look photo shoots. It is said that Lee Byeong Hun received unstinted praises from staff since he professionally enjoyed the pictorial despite his pressing schedule which had to go to the district after photographing in Seoul to shoot ‘Kwang Hae, the men who became the king’ which he is casted recently. Lee Byeong Hun told the news in the interview that he will be hand printing and foot printing as the first actor of Asia at Glory Square in front of Hollywood mans Chinese theater on June 23th. And he delivered his overwhelming feeling “it is said that popular stars participate in hand printing partially but Glory Square in front of mans Chinese theater is limited to space so it’s very fussy in selecting procedures. It was surely unbelievable.” Lee Byeong Hun said. * melancholy 구슬픈, 우수어린 * unstinted 인색하지 않은, 아낌 없는 * pressing 긴급한, 급박한 * overwhelming 압도적인, 감격의 * fussy 까다로운, 신경질적인

Additional still shots of Lee Byung-hun, Han Hyo-joo's "Masquerade" unveiled
Monica Suk 10Asia



Assembled teaser photos of "Masquerade" [CJ Entertainment]

Lee Byung-hun's first historical flick "Masquerade" has revealed more teaser photos before opening in domestic theaters this fall.

"Masquerade," in which Lee plays the 15th king of Joseon Dynasty, Gwanghae, revealed five still shots of the upcoming movie in a press release sent Thursday.

The forthcoming film, which tells the story of one of the most misfortunate figures in the Joseon Dynasty's history, is tentatively scheduled to meet with local moviegoers in late September, the officials said.

Jam-packed with veteran actors, Ryu Seung-ryeong of "All About My Wife" and actress Han Hyo-joo are each playing a courtier and the queen of the Joseon Dynasty in "Masquerade."

Based on the promoters' previous statements, Lee's film was originally titled "Gwanghae, the Man Who Became the King." However, the officials said they changed the title to emphasize the story of a lower-class guy becoming the king of the country.

Lee's Hollywood pic "G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra" which was released in the country in 2009 and has grossed 5,995,248,000 in Korean won (around 5.2 million U.S. dollars) at the domestic box office as of June 20, KOBIS' (Korea Box Office Information System) data showed.
