Τι να πω?Ούτε γω έχω καταλάβει γιατί δεν προβάλλεται.

Finally, news of Group 8′s golf drama Birdie Buddy, which has been given a tentative airdate of March 2011, according to one representative from the production company on November 2.

And it’s about time! It’s not that I’ve been looking forward to this show — I haven’t ( but I have!!!!)— but it did seem to languish for an awfully long time in production limbo, with no apparent progress. In fact, one cast member left the production early on (Lee Mi-sook) because she’d signed on to another drama, Cinderella’s Sister — which has already aired and been done for months now.

Birdie Buddy was initially planning to premiere in June, but obviously that didn’t happen. Perhaps Group 8 was more fixated on putting all its eggs into its Playful Kiss basket, which seemed to get the lion’s share of the promotional budget. All that had been mentioned of Birdie Buddy was that it was continuing to film despite its lack of a timeslot.

It sounds like a bit of spin to frame this additional delay as a seasonal consideration, but I suppose it could be true; apparently it’s a detractor to air a golf series in winter, and therefore they’re pushing it off till spring. According to that same Group 8 rep, the drama will complete filming in late November or early December, making it a 100% pre-produced drama, albeit not by design. (Unfortunately, those pre-produced shows haven’t had a great track record. Some recent examples: Road No. 1, Friend Our Legend, Terroir.)

Not to be a total downer: Birdie Buddy has managed to attract enough interest to sell to seven foreign countries already. That’s a bit surprising, since there are no big “Hallyu”-level names in the cast and the subject matter isn’t very high-concept, but it’s a good thing for the production. Plus, it IS Group 8, who is big on the export angle.

Birdie Buddy attracted some early buzz for starring pop idol UEE; it’s her first leading role after she’d made her drama debut playing a bitchy antagonist in last year’s bubbly hit comedy You’re Beautiful. It also stars Style’s Lee Yong-woo, Legend’s Lee Da-hee, Gloria’s Oh Hyun-kyung, and child actress Jin Ji-hee (High Kick Through the Roof).

On the February 28th episode of SBS’s ”Night after Night,” After School’s UEE revealed her secrets to forming a slush (secret) fund.

She stated, “My parents manage all my funds, and I get an allowance of 300,000 won ($268.43 USD) every month.”

Comedian Park Myung Soo replied, “300,000 won is probably not enough,” to which UEE retorted, “That’s why I have a method of creating a slush fund.”

She continued, “When I go overseas, my parents give me a 500,000 won ($447.43 USD) allowance. I exchange the currency, but I don’t use it, so when I return to Korea, I exchange it back into Korean currency.”

Comedian Kim Jae Dong cracked up the audience when he pointed out, “Then, were you trying to benefit from the foreign exchange rate?”

Big Bang’s Seungri joined in on teasing UEE, as he stated, “Only UEE sleeps in her own place apart from After School’s dorm“, causing the audience to crack up even further.

After School’s UEE and actor Park Joon Gyu will feature on the next episode of SBS’s “Running Man“.

UEE and Park Joon Gyu have already participated in February 28th’s shoot, for which they toured restaurants in Hongdae with their fellow “Running Man” members.

The members engaged in the chase as usual, and ran to the chatter of Hongdae. February 28th was the day before the March 1st holiday, so Hongdae was even livelier as a result.

A production representative expressed, ‘I thought there wouldn’t be people around on a Monday night, but because of the holiday, there are twice as many people. The members squeezed through the crowd and ran. And they found at least 20 restaurants.‘

UEE was jealous of Lizzy’s rising popularity



After School’s UEE recently confessed that she was jealous of groupmate Lizzy.

On May 3rd, she guested on SBS’s ‘Strong Heart‘ and revealed, “The reason I got less confident in variety shows is because of ‘Strong Heart’ and Kang Ho Dong.”

She explained, “While I was taking a break from variety shows, Lizzy became a variety show goddess. When she appeared on ‘Strong Heart’, Kang Ho Dong gave her the look that he has given me before. I was much loved by Ho Dong oppa before, and so I felt disappointed that he gave Lizzy the same loving look. I was also surprised because she seemed to do better than expected on variety shows. I even told her before she went on ‘Strong Heart’, ‘Variety shows are not hard’.”



UEE explained that while she was a trainee, Lizzy was quite shy. However, it seems that with time, she’s grown into a confident variety show queen. The idol was also determined to express that she too had refreshing charms to show off, and delivered a fun performance of Orange Caramel’s “Bangkok City“.

UEE shows off a new hairstyle



After School’s UEE revealed a picture of herself showing off her new short hair.

On May 4th, UEE uploaded the picture through her Twitter with the tweet, “Short hair I had during a photoshoot! Should I just cut it off? I grew it out for 3 years.”

In the picture, UEE moved away from her usually long hairstyle to a short bob. However, it was revealed that UEE didn’t actually cut her hair but instead wore a short wig for the photoshoot.

Netizens poured out with praise, “Wow! It looks clean and neat. Good”, “Short hair is cute, too”, “Why are you so cute? I thought you were really Han Seung Yeon“, and “Why are you so cute? You’re really pretty.”

After School’s UEE revealed that she’s got a little crush on 2PM’s maknae Chansung.

On the most recent recording of KBS2TV’s “Happy Together Season 3“, the male and female guests on the program had to couple up for a game.

But before they did, the guests had to say who they wanted to be partnered with.

During this corner, UEE chose Chansung, and her reason was: “I want to know more about him.” The MCs asked her what about him she wanted to know, and she became a bit flustered.

UEE revealed that Chansung is the type of guy she likes, so she’s curious about what kind of a guy he is. Due to her confession, Chansung got a little embarrassed, but quite happy.

Thereafter, UEE showed Chansung a sexy dance to show her charms, and the other 2PM members on set were apparently very jealous of their maknae.

..........................................................................................................
The two were then chosen to participate in the Couple Game, where they both share different ends of a Pepero stick. In a scene reminiscent of the famous Spaghetti scene in Lady and the Tramp, they get close… but do their lips come together like in the movie? Check out the segment below to find out.

11.09.29 Ten reporters rate the 3 most undervalued idol actors:After School U-ie Grabs Number 1 Spot



It’s easy to stereotype idol actors as untalented due to the many acting controversies they’re swept in once they actually try their hand in acting. Unfortunately, this is unfair to some idol-turned-actors that actually do have the talent to make it in the industry, which is why Sports Chosun brought together 10 entertainment reporters to choose the idol actors that they think are the most undervalued.

Check out who made it below!

–
To most people, After School‘s UEE actually matches the title of ‘actress’ more than ‘member of After School.’ She was praised for her unlikely acting skills through her role in SBS‘s ‘You’re Handsome‘ and went on to take on a variety of other roles including tvN‘s ‘Birdie Buddy‘ and KBS‘s ‘Ojakgyo Brothers‘.

Such is the reason why she came out on top, earning a total of six votes. She also received seven votes for the actress with the most potential to improve, as well as five votes for most improved acting.

Reporters also gave six votes on idols indeed needing more training and preparation before they advanced their careers. They also gave zero votes to a ‘there needs to be more idol actors.’

There still is hope, though, as reporters gave four votes to there being no problem should an idol debut with the proper acting skills required for their roll. Considering the fact that ‘idol singers must only focus on their singing activities’ earned zero votes, it’s really up to the idols in deciding their futures.
