Is Yoon Eun Hye another "Slave contact" VICTIM?!

With the health of idols and their poor working conditions being a hot topic lately, it seems as if actresses aren’t exempt from the issue as well. Yoon Eun Hye alerted fans of her health condition by uploading photos of herself getting an IV treatment through her personal Twitter.

On December 26th, she wrote, “I slept for three hours at the hospital before going to the filming set in a daze.  We filmed a few cuts and the director said that I shouldn’t film today ㅠ-ㅠ.  This was the first time I canceled filming because I was sick, so it’s making me tear up a bit and definitely feel sorry for the staff!  I should never be sick!…”

A few hours later, she added, “I’m getting an IV treatment to get better fast.  I’ll be sleeping here tonight and getting better!  Tomorrow morning, I’ll wake up and return to being the strong and healthy ‘Yumin’~!  Please pray for me and ‘My Black Minidress.‘  I’ll get this IV and go to sleep...”

Fans expressed their upset feelings after seeing her exhausted face and commented, “Please get better soon,” “You have to take care of your health!,” and “That’s not a sel-ca, is it?”

“My Black Minidress” is an upcoming movie scheduled to release March of 2011 and features actresses such as Park Han Byul, Cha Ye Ryun, Yoo In Na, and Lee Yong Woo.

Jay Park in work out mode

It has been more than a week since Jay Park returned to Korea for the filming of his movie, Hype Nation.

And despite earlier reports indicating that filming would start this week, it appears that the first shoot is now fixed for June 28th.

Nevertheless, Jay Park has not been idling while waiting for filming to begin, as he is going over his script and also keeping himself in shape. He tweeted on June 26th a picture of his toned upper body and wrote, “work out mode.”

He is definitely working those abs. Many thanks to k3tasha for the tip.

From Boy Meets Boy to Friends

Director Kim Jo Gwang-soo garnered some attention with last year’s queer short film Boy Meets Boy, and now he’s coming out with his follow-up. Called Called 친구사이, the title translates to “We’re Friends?” or simply “Friends?”

Friends?, like Boy Meets Boy, also deals with queer romance, and this time, the director has cast two unknown actors, 19-year-old Hong Jong-hyun and 25-year-old Seo Ji-hoo. Hong started as a model and was also in Jo In-sung’s Frozen Flower, while Seo earned his role through auditions.As with Boy Meets Boy, the events of this film are based on the director’s personal experience; the film aims for a “realistic, frank” depiction of young gay love. Although Boy Meets Boy was a mere 35-minute short, it had a decent amount of buzz. Maybe it was the pretty young actors Kim Hye-sung (Unstoppable High Kick) and Lee Hyun-jin (Family Honor), maybe it was the material (two high school boys falling in love for the first time), maybe it was the fact that the film was nearly dialogue-free. Maybe it was the zeitgeist. In any case, it got people talking and even had a theatrical run.This film is described as “lively and bold,” with stronger (romantic) scenes between the actors than in Boy — but that doesn’t mean they’ll be steamy or graphic; rather, this film features older characters (twentysomethings, versus Boy’s teenagers) and a longer running time. The plot is described as the “unexpected events that occur when Seok (Hong) goes to visit Min-su (Seo), who’s serving his military duty.”The mid-length (50 minute) film will begin shooting mid-March, and aims for a theatrical release sometime in the latter half of the year.
