Han Ye Seul Receives Criticism for Her Unnatural Pusan Dialect

Han Ye Seul, who plays in the current ongoing gambling themed drama “Tazza“, has received criticism for her unnatural or rather weird Pusan dialect. Han Ye Seul is terribly upset by this and expressed, “I have spent a lot of time practicing speaking the dialect. But now my heart is devastated looking at those negative comments”.

Apart from Han Ye Seul, the two Pusan-borned actors Jang Hyuk and Kim Min Joon were also not spared. They were also criticised for a certain degree of unnatural Pusan dialect, though not as serious as Han Ye Seul. The character that Han Ye Seul played was borned in Seoul, therefore the need to speak Pusan dialect is unnecessary. However due to a change in environment later on, she was required to speak the dialect.

Lisa S catches the travel bug

At home, she is Lisa Selesner, an American of mixed parentage who loves to play with her pet Chihuahua (named Chiquita Bonita Banana!) and watch TV with her partner of six years, Hong Kong movie star Daniel Wu. On the runway however, she is Lisa S, a bewitching designer-clad international model.

“I have two personalities. There is Lisa S, the fashion model and on-stage persona who people have described as ‘cool’ ... and not the American definition of cool, but icy. And then there is Lisa Selesner, which is me on a daily basis. I think my identity as a VJ is more Lisa Selesner,” said the chatty Lisa, the latest beauty to join music channel Channel [V] as a VJ.

Modelling since she was 14 (she was talent-scouted while living in New York, where she grew up), Lisa says she always wanted to become a host, whether on TV or at events.

“My ideal job would have been to host a travel show because then I would get to travel for free!” says the self-confessed travel junkie who keeps her age a closely guarded secret.

Getting ready to reveal their new album in October, SNSD will first make their official comeback to TV shows. SNSD will return to TV on cable channel MNet’s new reality show “Factory Girl” (PD Kwon Youngchan).

“Factory Girl” will be the Korean reality version of the movie “The Devil Wears Prada”, with the nine SNSD members taking on the role of fashion editors for a magazine aimed at teenagers and young adults.


SNSD became the editors for the fashion magazine “Elle Girl” and will show the reality of the fashion world to the tv audience. In addition, they are also expected to introduce a variety of fashion items to the audience.

PD Kwon Youngchan, who is the director in charge, said “Instead of simply saying that Factory Girl is a reality show with SNSD as the main characters, it is rather a program combining reality, trends and celebrity”, adding “please look forward to seeing a new side of SNSD as fashion editors”.

Factory Girl will premiere on October 8th at 6PM.

Although Da S and Louis only have a 3 minute scene in the movie, the two have been getting closer since the promo of their movie. Da S comes to Hong Kong once again for their promo, and Louis especially bought food for her, making Da S very happy. Because Da S is vegetarian, Louis chose carefully which food to give her. He said, he still hasn't got to sit with her for a meal, and hasn't seen her eat anything during the promo, so he wanted to buy her something to eat. In the end, Louis bought her sesame rolls, a dozen of egg tarts, Pu Chay Guo (rice cake). He also said that his impression of Da S is that she is a refined woman, and she eats with such manner.

Hyun Bin just celebrated his birthday (his 27th) with a large-scale fanmeeting, hosted at the Dome Art Hall at the Children’s Grand Park in Seoul, on September 27 (actual birthday September 25). With approximately 2,000 fans present, the event took the title “2008 Hyun Bin Fan Meeting & Birthday Party — The Present… HYUNBIN” (what a mouthful of redundancy) and welcomed a number of overseas fans from Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, China, and Singapore.

Conducted in typical fanmeeting style, Hyun Bin greeted his fans, took questions from those in attendance, chatted with former co-stars and other guests, and revealed his official fan club, “The Space.”

Birthday wishes were sent also via video from other stars, including clips from Jang Dong-gun, Song Hye-gyo, Shin Mina, and Jung Ryeo-won. Singer Kim Dong-wan (with whom he co-starred in the film Taekwon Boys back in 2004) was present as a guest, as well as unexpected guests Gong Hyung-jin and Jang Dong-gun, who made surprise appearances at the end.
