But it was on a visit to the Bishan Home for the Intellectually Disabled that he was mobbed. Not by the residents there, but by the nursing aides from the Philippines. Some even managed to kiss him, leaving him looking stunned.

At the home, the humble star went around shaking hands, signing autographs and hugging some of the residents, who seemed happy to see him. But far more excited were the nursing aides, some of whom went wild. More than 10 of them rushed onto the stage to take a group photo with Si Won, and while getting ready, one of them dabbed the perspiration on his face with a red T-shirt. Then, the unimaginable happened. One nursing aide leaned forward and kissed Si Won's left cheek, triggering a copycat reaction among the others.

The beautiful and talented Choi Jin-shil (age 40, most recently of The Last Scandal of My Life) has been found dead in her home in Seoul.

According to police, her body was discovered at 6:15 am on October 2 and the reasons for her passing are under investigation.

Police said, “We received a report that Ms. Choi had committed suicide and arrived to confirm her death.”

Another officer: “This morning, we received a report from her family that she had hanged herself in the shower stall.”

Choi had recently gone through some rough times supporting her friend Jung Sun-hee, widow of deceased Ahn Jae-hwan, and had battled rumors making the recent rounds that said she supposedly had lent him money, which she roundly denied. But what a shock — following a messy divorce with baseball player Jo Sung-min, her two small children, ages 5 and 7, were under her sole care. Note: this is very new information, so reports are bound to change in the coming days.

Twins received an award from "Outstanding Performing Arts Charity Night" 傑出愛心演藝人大獎 at the Hong Kong Grand Hotel the other night. Ah Sa attended the award ceremony on her own and Gillian was nowhere to be seen. Ah Sa explained Gillian is still resting. She said working on her own is more tiring then two people working together because they can support each other.

Ah Sa was quite embarrassed when she told reporters she has been very tired lately "I have lost quite a lot of blood today and I don't get enough of sleep. My period is irregular; sometimes I have my period 2 to 3 times a month. I become anaemic and I get headaches and backaches. The doctor said I have problems with my hormones." (Is your mom worried about you?) My mom knows about it. (What about Ronald?, is he worried about you?) Ah Sa laughed "You can ask him for me."
