Sunmi recently did a pictorial and interview with bnt. She talked about her appearance on the stage, the meaning for her solo endeavor, and the direction she has going forward. She stated “I’m the type that doesn’t get nervous on stage, but I become very nervous in variety programs and interviews. I think about myself a lot during my free time.”

When asked about her endeavors outside of music programs, Sunmi revealed “I want to appear in a variety program, but I don’t hear anything from them. It must be because my songs have weight to them. I like variety shows such as “Happy Together,” “Infinity Challenge,” “Running Man” and “Radio Star.” I have the “steel mentality” to win. However, acting seems hard.”

Like a lonely bird above the sea, Sunmi expresses the autumn winds by wearing an achromatic top and a rolled up flower. The concept of using a trench jacket lets one know the bitter season has started.

Sunmi also wears all black clothing, revealing her restrained sexiness. Sunmi gives off the fragrance of a sea girl with her expressions and directing ability that makes it seem like one is feeling the wind.

“Pride and Prejudice” Released First Stills Of Choi Jin Hyuk And Baek Jin Hee

MBC’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama “Pride and Prejudice” started filming through the fresh meeting between the hot-blooded prosecutor Choi Jin Hyuk and Baek Jin Hee, the female university student with pure eyes.

“Pride and Prejudice” is a drama about the struggle of loser prosecutors that fight so the poor, weak, and upstanding people don’t get hurt during the golden age of the bad boys when the prosecutors would stand up to the bad boys using the law, principles, humans and love as weapons. PD Kim Jin Min, who directed “The Time Between Dog and Wolf” and “God of War” helms “Pride and Prejudice,” while Lee Hyun Joo of “School 2013″ takes charge of the scripts.

The first stills of “Pride and Prejudice” show the stone steps that were popular in the drama “My Name Is Kim Sam Soon.” The scene shows the special meeting between the actors five years before they meet again as the “top prosecutor” and the “hot-blooded intern prosecutor.”

Choi Jin Hyuk plays the role of Koo Dong Chi, a cold, top prosecutor who has a face that could make someone’s heart flutter, and he appears to be searching for someone. Meanwhile Baek Jin Hee plays the female university student donning red knitwear and is looking at Choi Jin Hyuk as if he is absurd.

Despite the first filming between the two taking place early in the morning, the two delivered their lines without awkwardness, and their chemistry within the drama is raising expectations. More than anything, Choi Jin Hyuk didn’t lose his smile despite running around uphill paths and several flights of stairs, showing himself enjoying the anxiety of the first filming.

Baek Jin Hee was focused during the first shooting, as she closely monitored Choi Jin Hyuk and talked with the director and staff despite not acting in the scene.

After the first filming was complete, Choi Jin Hyuk expressed his feelings by stating “I’m nervous like a freshman during the first semester [in high school]. I ran hard from the first filming, so I intend to run hard until the end. I am jelling well with Baek Jin Hee and the staff, so I believe that I will be able to enjoy filming.”

Baek Jin Hee also gave her views on the first filming, “I was very worried about how to express Yeol Moo before filming. However, before the filming began, I was able to finish the filming well thanks to the director, the seniors and Choi Jin Hyuk.”

“Pride and Prejudice” follows “The Night Watchman” and will premiere in the middle of October.

The shopping mall was filled with K-drama fans who came out to support Ha Ji Won in the promotions for her latest drama “Empress Ki”. Watching Korean dramas are no longer just a woman’s past time looking at the large turn out of male supporters!

My mother gave me packed lunch and dinner so that I can eat healthy and stay healthy. Also each time I try to heal myself by listening to music that I like or reading.”

Ha Ji Won made an announcement of a January 9 fan meeting date in Singapore by herself, catching the emcee by surprise.

“I didn’t know there would be so many people. From the first floor to the seventh floor,  all of you have been so supportive of me all along, from ‘Secret Garden‘ to ‘Empress Ki,’ I really look forward to meeting you and I’m so happy to be here today. It’s a pity that I have to leave so early, but I’m sure I will be back soon and have so much more fun. Thank you so much! Stay healthy until then, I’ll see you soon!”

Before leaving, Ha Ji Won gave a love sign to her fans “Saranghamnida, I love you!”
