Park Shin Hye

Filed under: Asian Stars, Korean, Onni

Park Shin Hye

Park Shin-Hye (Korean: 박신혜, born February 18, 1990) is a South Korean actress and model.

Shin-Hye is currently attending Seoul Young-Pa Girls’ High school. She debuted first in the 2003 Lee Seung-Hwan music video “Ggot - Flower.” In 2003 she received a Youth Award from the SBS Acting Awards.

Acting career

Park’s fame came when she played the younger version of the character Han Jung Suh in the popular Korean drama, Stairway to Heaven. She also starred in a drama series called Tree of Heaven which aired on SBS, starring her former co-star in Stairway to Heaven, Lee Wan. The show had decent ratings, and the reviews and criticism were mixed, but mostly positive. Many critics keyed on in her portrayal of the character Hana’s pain of loving her step brother Yoon-Suh Lee Wan as brilliantly done. It should also be noted that due to the age difference between her and Wan, romantic scenes such as kissing on the lips could not occur, as seen in the scenes in the show, where had it been an older actress, such scenes may have occurred. Tree of Heaven started with borderline mediocre ratings, as do many new Korean dramas do, but went on to finish very respectably, and gained a fan base in Korea, which further helped Park’s credibility and young career in acting. Since then, Park Shin-Hye has done many commercials (CF) and modeled for a number of Asian companies.

Through her roles and their requirements, Shin-Hye has displayed a instinctive talent for dancing and martial arts. She has also released a digital single, “Prayer”, a song she used to sing in the drama Tree of Heaven, however, the track was not released in the Official OST.

Current activities

Park recently made her big screen debut in the movie Hometown of Legends, a summer horror flick where she had 2 roles; One is of the main character, the other is of the ghost of the main character’s sister, who haunts the other sister after her death. Park was extremely happy to star in this movie, for she had always wanted to star in a period setting drama or movie.

Park Shin-Hye starred as one of the four main characters in Goong S, a spin off (not the sequel) to the wildly successful Goong. The series did not match the success of its original, and received borderline ratings. However, the drama was the most re-watched and replayed series in the first half of 2007, gaining fame after the first run.

Kim Yoo Jin (Eugene)

Filed under: Asian Stars, Korean, Onni

Eugene

Kim Yoo-jin (born March 3, 1981), professionally known in English as Eugene, is a South Korean singer and actress, known mostly for her musical career as part of the hit K-pop group S.E.S..

Early life

Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea, but spent her childhood in Guam moving there after finishing elementary school. She returned to Korea with her mom and younger sister sometime in high school, after her parents divorced, and eventually graduated from Korea Kent Foreign School. She is fluent in her native language, Korean and can hold conversations in English, and is a Christian.

Career start

Main article: S.E.S. (group)

By way of an audition tape, Eugene was able to be part of a music group for SM Entertainment in South Korea, even though she was still in Guam. Debuting in 1997, S.E.S. became one of the biggest Korean groups of all time, having the record for biggest selling album by a female group in Korea. While in S.E.S., Eugene became known for her beauty and was part of the reason why S.E.S. had many advertising contracts. In fact, for certain print campaigns (like for Korean cosmetics company Etude), Eugene had the leading role, being the focus of the advertisements. Though vocally weaker than Bada and Shoo, Eugene became the face of SES in advertising.

Solo career

After the split of S.E.S. in 2002, Kim has appeared in four Korean dramas: Loving You, Save The Last Dance, Wonderful Life, and I Really, Really Like You. She has also appeared in commercials and advertisements, most notably for Korean cosmetics company Cathy Cat. In addition, she has released two solo albums. My True Style, her first album, has sold nearly 65,000 records and had one hit ballad, The Best. Her second album 810303 sold a disappointing 19,000 copies. Although sales were low, Eugene still had a very successful single with Windy, mostly due to her new “sexy” image (compared to her previous girl next door image). This song was performed on all the music video programs in Korea for many months, in addition to her second single. Promotions were stopped near the end of the year. Eugene did some promotional work in the Philippines in mid-2006.[citation needed]

As of 2007, she is one of the co-hosts of KBS’s Happy Together: Friends, taking over from Lee Hyori. Also, she has become part of the musical version of the film Innocent Steps.

She also debuted as a film actress in Unstoppable Marriage (released on May 10, 2007).

In March 2008, it was announced that she would take the lead role in the drama Three Daddies and One Mommy, to be aired starting in April.
