Jang Ja Yun’s Manager Speaks Out About Secret Abuse
Recently deceased Boys Over Flowers actress Jang Ja Yun past and possible reasons for her suicide are beginning to surface.
First it was reported that she died of depression and there were even reports saying that her manager stated she was murdered, well, that might be true... to some extent.
It has now been exposed that the up and coming actress was beaten and forced to sleep with the Production Director (PD). Her manager is now revealing the gruesome first hand accounts of the suffering and assaults against her, despite her family not wanting this information to be leaked. Jang Ja Yun hand wrote documents listing her tragedies. Before her death, she asked her manager to expose the person responsible for her attacks. She told him she didn't want her family to think she died of just depression but from something far worse.
The manager has yet to reveal more specifics regarding the documents but he did state the contents to be very shocking and disturbing. He only said so far that there were incidents at room saloons and bars, and being forced to sleep with the PD. Other abuse include being physically beaten with water bottles and receiving threatening text messages. All this abuse took place in the past year and even just week before she committed suicide, she went to the head of her company to ask for help from the harassment. But she was beaten and told to just endure it.
She confessed in her letters that she was forced to do the dirty deeds, because she had no money and was emotionally weak. Jang Ja Yun's manager made a public statement that although exposing her truth to the police and media is going against her family's wishes, he wants to see the person pay / punished for her death.
The manager is cooperating with police to bring the PD in question to justice. Currently, the PD is in Japan.
It's been reported that the manager has tried to commit suicide also after revealing this statement and is currently hospitalized. He tried to commit suicide to avoid any backlash from exposing the truth about Jang Ja Yun.

It has been 9 years since they last hosted 24 Hour Television on 1999.

“MUSIC-MAN” cartoon figure for Wang Lee Hom.
The record company privately invited some professionals in cartoon drawing to design the “MUSIC-MAN” cartoon figure for Wang Lee Hom. They also did the business copyright registration so MUSIC-MAN became the only trademark for Wang Lee Hom. A devoted male fan of Lee Hom tried to imitate him & wore thick & heavy leather coat with the embroidered “MUSIC-MAN” logo with a layer of silver aluminium foil to protect it. He came to Lee Hom for his signature. Lee Hom laughed & said, “He is so well equipped, even though he drops down from his bike, he will not be hurt!”However, the high decibels of noises in the premises had bothered the rest of the businesses & shops so it aroused the attention of the police. But if the noise level will be turned down a little, the attention of the press will soon swift to other things. Wang Lee Hom just rounded up the situation & said, “Do the policemen need help from MUSIC-MAN? It’s good that I didn’t sing today, otherwise, if I was complained because of my singing, I will be very embarrassed!”

Japan is shaken up from the visits of hallyu stars by TOP Big Band
There are many Japanese visiting Akita-hyun (the site where drama IRIS is being filmed) to see Lee Byunghun, Kim Taehee and more. They have booked the hotels around the filming site, so much that Yang Hyunsuk from YG entertainment is having trouble finding a room.The first take of IRIS has begun on 10th, and Japanese fans have been around the hotels and filming site to see the faces of their favourite stars.Japanese Broadcasting stations are also eyeing the steps of these stars.The interest will be heightened when TOP of Big Bang joins the crew on 17th. Previous hallyu stars have been famous among the ah-joom-ma’s, it is highly predicted that TOP will bring the fans of younger ages. Because Big Bang has released albums in Japan, people are already feeling the vibe of new hallyu star.THe filming of IRIS will take around 3 weeks; there will be dating scenes of Lee Byunghun and Kim Taehee (will appear as a couple in the drama), and there are action scenes to be filmed.IRIS is the first-ever-drama to try a spy,action thriller in tv drama- it deals with the conflict between assacination of North Korea leader and government groups. It will be aired around september through KBS.
F4 are "Friends Wt Work"
Since Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Ken Chu and Wu, the quartets of F4, spend most of their time away from each other, developing their individual careers, the areas and density of comparisons among themselves increased; the relationship between each member also naturally becomes a focal point.Early this year, Chu commented on an interview that the quartets are merely colleagues and not friends. Wu, on the other hand, told us: "Everyone has their own opinion. What do I think? I think we are friends We are friends at work. In private, our personalities are very different, and we are each busy over our own careers."He was first very certain they are friends but switch quickly to say they are "friends at work". . You will have to judge what that means Tokyo concert last October was the last time that F4 appeared as a group; when asked if the four of them will be working together again, Wu replied without hesitating, "If we are all available, of course we will. (What about in the near future?) We'll wait and see. (So there are no plans yet?) Hmm," he smiled.Wu also revealed that he will be releasing his third album in the second half of the year. Besides that, he also has a movie and a drama in the pipeline..

Vanness: Anything for Ang Lee
Does abstinence in real life translate to greater restrictions in reel life? Taiwanese artiste Vanness Wu, member of Taiwanese pop boy band F4, who has a one-year abstinence plan in place to honour God, distinguishes his work and private life clearly.In new movie "Kung Fu Chef", his relationship with Kago Ai remained pure and innocent; he said the lack of kissing scenes has nothing to do with abstinence. In fact, he does not resist intimate scenes."It's acting and not real." He added that he has not set any restrictions for his onscreen performances, but will select scripts very carefully."I think what is most important is the script; the story, direction of the movie and director's vision. I will not easily take on something like 'Lust, Caution'. But if the director is Ang Lee, then it's ok. I'll do it," he laughed.From his first film "Star Runner" to "Dragon Squad", "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" and most recently "Kung Fu Chef", Wu was unable to detach his onscreen persona with martial arts. However, this was not specially arranged for."I do not have a particular direction that I would like to pursue. Any characters that are challenging will interest me.""Kung Fu Chef" combines martial art and culinary skills; despite their stark differences, Wu see them as a commonality."Kung fu is a form of exercise. It trains up one's self-discipline and lets you understand your ability. Cooking is also a form of kung fu. Every dish needs skills; the simpler the dish, the harder it is to create. Knife skills are also part of it," he said.With an interest in martial arts and habit in frequenting the gym with his friend Jimmy Hong, Wu insisted on engaging in the actions by himself in the movie."I did insist on doing some fight scenes by myself; but when I need a stuntman to replace me, I will let the stuntman do it. When we make action films, injuries such as strains and bruises are inevitable. So we have to remember to stretch and warm up," Wu said.With five movies and seven movies on his portfolio and experiences, come higher expectations. "It should not be hard to breakthrough. There are self-expectations; but what is breakthrough, I don't know. I don't know how to work towards breakthrough. I only know how to do my best in the things I do. I don't think I need to be better than the previous time. It's a learning process, not a competition."Wu is currently boss of movie production company Smash & Grabs Productions, which he set up with Hong, son of action actor Sammo Hong, where they produce, direct, invest in films and screenplay."We have started work in name of the company. Jimmy's script is temporarily named 'Gulliver's Travel'. That is his script so he will be directing," he said. However, Wu refused to reveal or predict when the film will begin shooting or screening. He said, "You'd have to ask him.">.

Song Hye-kyo is reportedly practicing hard to improve her Mandarin.The screenplay was written by "Lust, Caution" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" screenwriter Wang Hui-ling.According to documents, the overloaded cruise liner was bound for Taiwan from Chinese mainland. It sank on the voyage after colliding with a cargo ship on the night of Jan 27, 1949, resulting in deaths of about a thousand celebrities onboard.The cruiser that sank on that fateful night is sometimes referred to as the Oriental Titanic.

Da S gets nominated for HK's Golden Elephant Awards and has no confidence in winning; Scared that Xiao S would steal all the limelight
On the 26th of February, Da S(大S) accepted an interview while in Hong Kong. She expressed that she has never once gotten any award related to acting, and she feels extremely honoured that for her first time acting in a Hong Kong movie, she has been nominated for this year's Golden Elephant Awards. Howver, she has no confidence in winning because of the competition between many 'queens'. During the ceremony, she would only bring her mother along and not her sister, because she is afraid that Xiao S(小S) would dress too sexily and steal the limelight away from her. First time being nominated - has no confidence in winningRegarding her nomination for Best Actress in this year's Golden Elephant Awards, Da S expressed that it was a pleasant surprise and a huge encouragement for her. She said: "My sister and I debuted at a very young age. In these few years, I have sang, hosted and filmed movies. However I haven't won any award recognition for them. This is my first time participating in a Hong Kong movie and I can get nominated for Best Actress. When I was first informed of this, I didn't know why I flew too. This is my first time being nominated, and my name can be listed along with so many queens - I feel extremely honoured. I hope that I will be able to film more movies and get nominated." Later on, when she dropped by Xiao S's house, her daughter ran out and congratulated Da S: "Congrats auntie for being nominated", which delighted and pleased Da S very much. Predicts that Prudence Liu and Louis Koo would winThis time, Da S is competing with 'queens' like Zhou Xun(周迅), Bao Qi Jing(鲍起静), Prudence Liu(刘美君) and Karena Lam(林嘉欣). Da S expressed that for her, a nominated would be enough, and she has no confidence that she would win the award, because her opponents are all too strong: "I've seen 'Painted Skin', and Zhou Xun was just too marvellous in there. It really makes me not have confidence. Karena Lam is very unique, she has her own style of actings. Prudence Liu has won the Golden Horse Award before, so I predict that this time, she would be the one to win. For the Best Actor category I think Louis Koo(古天乐) would win, because I really liked his movie, 'Run Papa Run 一个好爸爸'."Laughed and said that she's scared that Xiao S would steal all the limelightLater on, Da S happily said that no matter whether she would get the award or not, she would dress up very nicely for the event. When asked whether many big brands had offered her attire for the awards night, Da S humorously replied: "Let Lin Chiling (林志玲) choose first, the rest can be given to me." Other than dressing up for the event, Da S also wants to bring her mother along. However, she rejects the idea of Xiao S attending. She said: "My mother is not familiar with my work status in Hong Kong. I want to make use of this opportunity to show off a little to her. Also, my mother wishes to see all those big stars. But I do not want to go with Xiao S, because she always dresses in clothes that are too revealing, and will steal the limelight away." Other than this, filial Da S also wishes to bring her mother on a holiday to Switzerland.
