[NEWS] Network to Bring New Sitcom, Dramas



By Han Sang-hee
Staff Reporter

MBC is enjoying top ratings with the hit period drama ``The Great Queen Seondeok,'' and the broadcaster is expected to continue captivating viewers with its new sitcom ``High Kick 2'' and dramas ``No Limit'' and ``Jewel Bibimbap.''

``No Limit'' made headlines when it was confirmed that U-Know from the popular boy group TVXQ would appear as the ambitious football player Cha Bong-gun.

It will be the first time for the 23-year-old singer to appear in a television series, and according to the production team, he has been working hard not to disappoint fans.

``Even after a long day of filming, I come home and I can't wait to go back to the set,'' he was quoted as saying by MBC.

When asked about his first attempt at acting, the singer said, "I'm pretty brave. Having a limit is like growing up. You have to overcome it to move forward. I think after the drama, I'll probably have grown a lot more than before."

The drama revolves around Cha, who dreams of becoming one of the best football players in Korea. As the young athlete strives to make the national team, he is joined by several friends, and enemies, along the way. The drama will start airing Sept. 9 at 9:55 p.m. every Wednesday and Thursday.

[Trans] 090901 Behind-the-scenes THSK Nikkan Sports Interview

It was 2 hours before their actual performance on stage that I had such an amazing time. Jaejoong smiled when he welcomed me, "It has been a long time~!" In reality, I once interviewed them in July but during that time, I felt as if they appeared very tired... But this time, although it is also before a public performance, they seem to be in high spirits.

During the interview, Yunho and Jaejoong talked a lot. We chatted for about 20 minutes and I really heard them talk from their heart, especially Yunho. On the first day, in their resting room, Yunho seemed to have difficulties walking, I thought that he might have hurt his leg. Indeed, his right thigh was injured and persevered onto stage after getting an injection. He smiled at me, saying, "But, as compared to yesterday, I feel much better today, it's okay~" Also during the interview, he was very leader-ish and controlled the balance of all the members. Jaejoong was especially happy and continued smiling and chatting with us attentively. When he talked about his own charm, which was "the smile..", the other 4 members made funny expressions while looking at his face and that left a deep impression on me. Changmin looks like a very matured adult, and gave off a cool feel but when the other members start talking, he also listens on happily. He said his own charm was "sweat", and that left me quite surprised but straightforward people, no matter what they do are always appropriate. For Junsu, I also felt that he seems to be more matured by a slight bit but during the interview, from the middle onwards, he started to get quite noisy. When the interview ended, other than taking a group photo of the five of them, we also specially had a shoot for both Yoochun and Jaejoong for their new single that will be released in September.

When we were shooting the two, their poses were very close, and it looked as if they have a very good relationship. What did Yoochun say? Ah, he seemed to have said that he was "(T/N: It translates to Beat Nick Play but I don't know what it is. Sorrry!)" Then~ he has to say something interesting and it must also make everyone laugh. Before the actual performance on stage, he seemed very relaxed... really makes one jealous. and also, when Jaejoong was saying, "We want to show a new side of us...", Yoochun had to interject with, "Side? Noodles? What's the most important thing of noodles is that they must have elasticity~" (T/N: The first syllable of Noodles is the same as the word, side) and made everyone laugh.

Then, he would make eye contacts with the others and enlarge his eyes before making many weird expressions to entertain the audience. Then, they went on stage and gave everyone a high standard performance. Dancing and singing, everything was amazing. Their strong existence and group spirit is indeed, the most exciting point.

In that moment, 50, 000 people were being brought into the "World of THSK". During a-nation last year, Jaejoong said, "I had to keep searching for THSK towel." but this year, even if you don't try to find it, all you can say in front of you is THSK's green towels. With unlimited emotions, Jaejoong said, "We saw a lot! This year is really the best!"

In Japan, they have not debuted for more than 5 years but in a blink of an eye, they have already become one of the best artistes in Japan. They will continue moving forward as if they were soaring and who knows where they will reach in the future? Nikkan Sports, from now onwards, will continue giving up-to-date reports of the five of them.

Please look forward to them.

[Trans] 090825 Heading to the Ground Filming - Fan Account


25th August

Once it was nightfall, Yunho headed towards Coex again for filming.
Everytime when I hear of a night filming, I get scared.
Scared that it will last really late into the night.
On the day when he was selling chicken sticks, it was raining heavily during the later part of the night, till 5 in the morning.
The day when they went to Gyeonggi to film the eating scenes, it lasted till 2am.

The previous time at Coex, while filming the love triangle scene, it lasted till 2am.
(That day, Ara was rather tough, Yunho had already finished his part but she was still continuing her part with the supporting actor...)

....What time would it end today?

Yunho had worn a white T-shirt, a red jacket and a pair of dark blue pants with a pair of sandals, showing his legs, which made me and the others around realise that he had gotten skinnier again...
Just looking at him like that, its different from the way you see him in the aiport, it's a totally relaxed and casual outfit.

Ara is wearing a red jacket, and eating a lollipop.
Looks like she's feeling pretty good.
Because of the height differences, when filming with Yunho, she would place a box and stand on it.
Yunho looks very relaxed, by the way he was standing.

During rest time, Yunho and Ara started talking while standing, there were times when they would squat down to chat...
Maybe it's just talking, I envy that...

Today, there's a scene where there's water droplets on a tree branch and Ara used her hand to pick it up.
Actually, it was the staff who had splashed some water onto it to make it seem like there's water on it.
No idea how this scene would appear in the drama.

After that, it's a raining scene.
Ara was pointing to something opposite her, and showed a expression that meant that it was hard for her to see what's there.
She looked so serious.
So naive while eating that lollipop too, so cute.
(Wu wu... In the drama, that was exactly how Bong Goon was captivated by her...)
The rain was man-made, at Ara's back.
Because of the rain, Ara held out her hands towards Yunho.
Making a roof-like shape with her hands to cover Yunho from the rain.
(Imagine... two hands crossover and placed on Yunho's forehead)
Yunho then looked at her straight in the eyes.
He then slowly put out his hands, and took Ara's hands down.
Looking at one another, he took off his jacket,
and placed it over Ara's head, then, touched her fringe with his hand, making me remember most of the song's lyrics "Gentle eyes... I'll protect you from the wind and the rain..."

In the middle, there was an NG, where Yunho had placed the jacket over Ara's head and because he didn't manage to estimate the height difference well enough, he accidentally covered Ara's small face.
Yunho laughed so loudly like a kid.

Then again, there's a part that made everyone laugh.
The minute the Director had shouted "Cut!", Yunho took Ara's right hand and swung the water away from Ara's hand.
It was too funny to explain.
This made the fans laugh.... So cute.
(Yunho's small actions are really... "small")

Today before filming, I was quite worried for him.
Heard from the staff that there was gonna be a raining scene.
Yunho was filming it for the first time, and there were so many things to get done.
Like drowning in the water, being under the rain,
but once it started, i felt relieved.
The rain didn't reach Yunho but was just behind Ara.
It seems like Ara felt it.
Yunho didn't have much reaction.
So everyone was rather relieved.
Should thank the staff, maybe because the drama is filmed this way,
but after all, they didn't really ask Yunho to stand under the rain,
this made us all feel completely relieved.

In Japan, there's a huge amount of work.
And then coming back to Korea, the situation was like this, filming till late at night.
Yunho... tough right?
During rest time, Yunho went into the van and slept for awhile.
Tomorrow, there's going to be an outdoor scene.
Seoul's summer is really hot.
Yunho looks rather tan, of course, it's a healthy skin tone which makes everyone love you more,
but also heart-breaking....

You should be in the car resting now.
I'm going home~
Concentrate well during filming!
Tomorrow's filming Hwaiting!
Bong Goon Fighting!

[Trans] 090831 Popularity of "Heading to the Ground"



MBC's new drama "Heading to the Ground" in which TVXQ's leader Jung Yunho acts as the main lead, had recently posted its promotional pictures and teaser on its official website, creating a craze in netizens showing a huge interest towards the said drama.

On the released poster where the four main actors posed, Yunho and Go Ara had "jumping" poses, showing their youth and energy. Aside from the pictures, the site had released amazing teasers, creating a little shock amongst the netizens. Seeing the number of hits the site had garnered, it's really as popular as the drama "Beethoven Virus" and the current drama "Queen Seon Deok." This proves that the audience are excited and has high expectations of the drama.

"Heading to the Ground" talks about a Cha Bong Goon (portrayed by Jung Yunho) who's clever, but not really sociable and likes to do things alone. Together with the girl of his dreams, Kang Hae Bin (acted by Go Ara), Bong Goon slowly changes and feels the happiness of love. This drama is talking about soccer and would be aired on MBC on the 9th of September.

[Trans] 090831 a-nation in Osaka: The Worry About "TVXQ's Disbandment"Was Swept Away!


a-nation in Osaka (30th of August at the Osaka Nagai Stadium)

When the audience was looking at the screen onstage, the countdown reached 0. They started to wave THSK's green towel and the whole stadium was suddenly filled with green! The audiences whose seats were nearer to the stage were suddenly yelling loudly for THSK.
This time, THSK performed "Doushi.te" and seven other songs that were on the Oricon Charts. They used all their effort in singing each song live and they wowed everyone with their powerful dance moves. They not only captivated the ladies, but also the men who were watching.
Leader Yunho actually sprained his ankle one week ago. After some needle therapy (acupuncture, perhaps?), he insited on going up the stage to give everyone the best performance and powerful dance moves. He was such a great role model that the other four members were doing even better. This attracted the audience even more!

[TRANS] 090831 'Heading to the Ground' Jung Yunho's Soccer Filming, 4000 Fans Come To Watch


Jung Yunho participated in the filming of MBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Heading to the Ground' that occurred at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st. The scene that was being filmed was of Cha Bong-goon's first match as part of the soccer team 'FC Soul'.

'Heading to the Ground''s staff made an official statement through the drama's homepage that the filming that would begin at 7:30 pm on the 31st would be an open filming. As a result, fans of Jung Yunho were filling the stadium from before 6 o'clock in the evening.

By 8:00pm, around 4000 fans had filled the Seoul World Cup Stadium. Even before filming began, the fans chanted Jung Yunho's character's name "Cha Bong-goon! Cha Bong-goon!" as they eagerly awaited his entrance.

At 8:30pm when Jung Yunho entered the stadium, all 4000 fans began to scream.

In the middle of the field, Jung Yunho smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to support us. Each one of you has now become a part of 'Heading to the Ground.' I hope we will all be able to cooperate well."

The staff said to the fans, "This is Cha Bong-goon's debut as a soccer player in this group. We see that some of the fans have come with placards that say 'Cha Bong-goon' on them but we cannot have that seen in our drama. Please put away the placards."

One staff member of 'Heading to the Ground' met with a reporter and said, "Of course we did announce this event, but we did not expect so many people to show up. We were very surprised. Thanks to Jung Yunho's fans, the filming went very smoothly today."

'Heading to the Ground', which will begin showing after 'Hon' finishes this September, features Jung Yunho, Ara, Lee Sangyoon and Lee Yunji and is about the love story between Cha Bong-goon, a nobody who lives passionately, and Kang Haebin, a rookie agent who has everything she wants but wants to succeed on her own.

[TRANS] 090831 SME "Regarding The Evidence That Was To Be Submitted, We Were Only Waiting For Answer From The Courts"


SM Entertainment, the agency that is currently in a dispute with three members of TVXQ, Xiah Junsu, Micky Yoochun and YoungWoong Jaejoong, released a statement on the 31st regarding the agency's decision not to submit any documents for the trial stating that, "We were only waiting for an answer from the Courts."

As soon as the Preservation of Evidence request was accepted, SM Entertainment told the Courts that, "The range of documents requested is too broad and the time to gather them too short," and also requested to the Courts that, "If the Courts narrow the range down to one section or part, we will submit those documents."

A representative of SME stated that, "The reason we haven't submitted any documents relevant to the case yet is because we did not receive an answer from the Courts saying what particular kind of documents we should submit. It is not because we fear that company secrets may be revealed."

The Courts will be receiving documents relevant to this case until they reach a decision next month.
