For it’s high budget action-drama, “IRIS2” (아이리스Ⅱ) KBS gave time slot for the casts to open the 2012 KBS drama award 2nd part that held on 31 December, 2012. The casts, Jang Hyuk, Lee Da Hae, Lee Beom Soo, and Im Soo Hyang, opened that event with their own way, they introduced their roles through their action and martial art abilities on the stage. I was just jaw dropping when Jang Hyuk showed off his martial arts technique, he looked so cool.

Not only brought live special performance from leading roles, for the first time the long teaser also screening.  The whole roles look charismatic, more of action, more of tense, and more of conflict among the NSS agent. Beside showing the new faces, such as, Lee Joon, Yoon Du Jun, Oh Yeon Seo,  Kim Min Jong from “Athena” also appears on that video, as well as Kim Seung Woo and Kim Yeong Cheol from “IRIS”.

“IRIS2” will start airing on February 13 for replacing “Jeon Woo Chi”. “IRIS2” becomes the most anticipated drama, since it’s sequel from 2009 hit drama “IRIS” that played by Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Hee.

It seems that Taewon Entertainment really serious for the sequel project of IRIS. They already have signed papers from the top actors and actresses on their casts list. For main characters, they got the best duet, after “Robber” and “Chuno”, once again Jang Hyuk and Lee De Hae agreed to reunite on “IRIS 2”. And there are more actors and actress who already confirmed to become homme and femme fatale on this drama,  Oh Yeon Soo, and Im Soo Hyang,

For continuity, not only looking for new comer for this project, they also secured the names from “IRIS” and “Athena”, they are Kim Seung Woo, Kim Min Jong, Lee Jeong Gil, Yoon Je Moon and Kim Yeong Chul. those ajeossi-deul will reprise their roles.

Of course you need candy for this spicy drama, On “IRIS” they put “TOP”, and Choi Si Won for “Athena”. For “IRIS 2” they look more generous, not only one idol, but they chose Kang Ji Yeong (KARA) and Lee Joon (MBLAQ) to become partner on NSS.

Behind the camera, for this high budget drama, they already tie up two directors, the PD from  “Coffee House”, Pyo Min Soo, and “Athena” PD, Kim Tae Hun.

Even though for start airing on February 2013, Taewon Entertainment take the speedy steps to secure their project, and I think they haven’t closed the casting process yet, i bet there will be more names reveals.

On September 18th, reportedly that Lee Da Hae has been reviewing since last month the offer that came from Tae Won Entertainment to become the charismatic heroine on “IRIS” sequel. Lee Da Hae’s side and Taewon Entertainment is still on negotiation process.

Actually, for Lee Da Hae this is not new thing, on 2010 she also reviewed “Athena” project, but too bad she dropped the project at the time. But now maybe she doesn’t want to make the same mistake, if she agrees to take the role, it means more pretty lady to become the secret agent, following up Kim Tae Hee, Lee Ji Ah, and Soo Ae.

“IRIS” season 2 plans to be released early next year. For 20 billion budget drama, they’re looking for the most eligible actors and actresses to make this sequel perfect. On actor side, they already offered the role to Jang Hyuk, but until now the actor hasn’t decided yet.

Between July 2nd until 8th, one of the movie and entertainment site held a poll for the best actress who guested on “Running Man” lately. On July 9th the result revealed to the public. Han Ga In voted on the first place, shegot 484 votes from 1259 respondens or about 38,4%. Han Ga In appeared on “Running Man” when her drama “The Moon That Embraces the Sun” gained the highest popularity earlier this year. She looked so cute but she did the whole physical mission very well.

On the second place there’s another queen from “The King 2 Hearts” Ha Ji Won, with her  aegyo Ha Ji Won voted by  325 voters (25,8%),  Kim Hee Sun on third place, got 95 votes (7,5%),  then followed by  Son Ye Jin (6,8%) , Choi Kang Hee (7,4%) , Kim Min Jung (3,6%) , Kim Sun Ah (3,1%), Lee Da Hae (2,9%), Lee Min Jung (2,7%), Lee Yeon Hee (2,6%), and Oh Yeon Seo (1,8%). I think it was a very difficult choice. They all are really good actresses. Each actresses has  a fun character that make each episode of “Running Man” became very interesting and hilarious. And two thumbs up for “Running Man” personnel for they were able to make these actresses willingly got sweaty and sometimes dirty.

But for me, the best guest on “Running Man” until the latest episode is Big Bang. The episodes were so hilarious and full of tense, especially battle between Haha and G-Dragon, and TOP looked very handsome in those episodes, right Rizz???

On March 15th the “My Black Mini Dress” VIP Premier was held at the CGV Yongsan IMAX, but I don’t want to discuss about “My Black Mini Dress”, you probably know better than me. All I want to discuss is the appearance of the VIP guests in attendance, Yups .. the celebrities.

The casts, minus Yoo In Na:

Son Ye Jin, she’s my favorite that night. She looked so cute and cheerful with banana skirt, and I love her hat.

Baby Vox’s former member. I know their time was over, but they still fine to appear with idol style .. wow .. you all still look like rock-stars onniedul!

Ha Ji Won…maybe it was only her who dared to combine the girly-black-mini-dress with an army jacket, and turn out to be cool and absolutely gorgeous! But that made ​​me wonder, why should it be the army jacket? Did she already miss her lover .. oops I means her partner, Hyun Bin, who was on duty in the army? hohohohoho … I hope ..

Moon Chae Won, what a size bag, onnie!!! and I love it.

Lee Da Hae, .. hohoho … I remember myself, these are my outfit when I went to cinema. The safety outfit

[Rizz: yeahh…now I know where you get this style huh blossom. But haven’t you got enought with it??]

Eugene, kyaaa… May I have her peach-lunch-box? I really want that cutie box…seriously…

The guys..hohoho..their outfits were quite safe.  Absolutely Seven came to support  his lover, Park Han Byeol. What about  Kim Seung Oh? Did he came for Ah Yeong-ie?

IU… saw this picture and just realized it was IU I was looking at. Her theme was a school girl ,and that made it lookedlike she just came to the event after finished her school time.

Korean style has been quite a hit across Asia nowadays, so for me red carpet or premiere moments were always interesting to put attention to. Well, they’re quite a reference…
