Lee Bo Young picks the best-looking ‘Running Man’ member

 
A wave of disapproval swept through the ‘Running Man‘ team when they were arranged in order of handsomeness.
 
Prior to the start of the episode, the ‘Running Man’ cast members were told that one of the guests for the episode, Lee Bo Young, had determined a ranking list of the members based on how good-looking they were.
 
In a somewhat unsurprising announcement, Ji Suk Jin was picked as the least good-looking. This ignoble selection was followed by HaHa, Kim Jong Kook, and Yoo Jae Suk, with the ‘Commander’ being especially upset at his low placement.
 
Only Gary and Lee Kwang Soo remained, to the surprise – and lack of acceptance – of the other members. The unbelieving atmosphere increased when Gary was revealed to have been picked as the #1 handsome guy on the entire team.
 
When the guests finally appeared, Kim Jong Kook exclaimed “Who’s that woman?”, still somewhat bitter about his placement in the rankings.

Further, he came to know that Yoo-Gun, NSS team leader, who has been interrogating him in NSS safety house, is his son. In later episode, Baek San tells Choi Min that Iris is trying to capture him alive because he knows the location of five nuclear weapons which were made during 4th administration. Baek San hands over four of the five nuclear weapons to NSS. While the President of South Korea Ha Seung-Jin (Jo Sung-Ha) wanted to declare his country as a nuclear nation, Choi Min is against his decision and wanted to denuclearize nuclear weapons by handing them over to Pentagon, USA. Her contradiction with President made her leave NSS and she’s sent back to USA.
The identity of Mr. Black (who has been controlling Iris) also gets revealed. Mr. Black achieves success in acquiring one of the four nuclear weapons held by NSS. Park Tae Hee (Yoon So-Yi) who is a member of Iris plays a major role in moving nuclear weapon from NSS to Iris. Baek San reveals the location of fifth nuclear weapon to Iris.

Yoo Joong Won has really strong motives. He wants to acquire and plot a nuclear bomb in Seoul to achieve a new unified nation.
In final episode of Iris 2, Yoo Joong Won gets killed by Yoon Shi-Hyuk (Lee Joon). Yoon Shi-Hyuk was previously NSS agent who was later revealed to be a spy of Iris. Yoo Joong Won has already detonated nuclear bomb in Seoul. Yoo Gun dies in order to save Seoul from nuclear disaster. His last words were with Soo Yeon on radio where he says that he found himself lucky to have a girl like her and that he’s going to his mother and father.


 

K.Will performs appealingly despite an unpleasant incident


On the afternoon of April 21, K.Will performed “Love Blossom,” which has been gaining popularity recently, on Inkigayo, aired live at the SBS open aauditorium in Deungchon, Seoul. Wearing a black suit decorated with flowers and a black fedora, K.Will sang and danced pleasantly. His fans were delighted with his especially bright smile. The stage received special attention because it was K.Will’s first appearance on TV since an incident that occurred on April 20 in which he was mistakenly declared to have won first place in Show! Music Core, on MBC. It turned out that Infinite had actually won, and K.Will therefore had to turn the trophy over to Infinite.
 
In his performance on the 21st, K.Will didn’t let the previous day’s occurrence bother him. He was just absorbed in his performance, which moved the audience and staffers.
 
Just after Show! Music Core, K.Will showed what a good sport he is, tweeting, “Isn’t this what makes live broadcasts so great? I will make a clean concession to beloved Myungsoo and his friends. The ranking system reinstated after seven years is certainly of help to singers. Way to go, Show! Music Core!

Song Ji Hyo’s Chemistry With Lee Sang Yoon Leaves Gary Jealous in the Backseat

 “Monday Couple” Gary and Song Ji Hyo have been winning over fans for their cute banter and chemistry on SBS variety show “Running Man.” But whenever a guest comes on the show, the “Monday Couple” hopelessly falls prey to the same insecurities that befall real life couples. This time the culprit in Gary’s eyes was guest Lee Sang Yoon, who could not stop laughing in the passenger seat while Song Ji Hyo fended off Gary’s barbed yet adorable remarks about being moved and forgotten about in the backseat. 
 
It all started when Song Ji Hyo admitted with both men in the car, “Lee Sang Yoon is definitely different from most men” which caused Gary to suddenly sit up straight and protest, “Hey! Song Ji Hyo..” The chemistry unfolding between the trio proved to be interesting, as Lee Sang Yoon had played the role of Song Ji Hyo’s first love in a movie before.  
 
Once talk of Gary being picked as the best looking guy on “Running Man” by Lee Bo Young came up, Gary offered, “How could I ever betray you on Mondays?” to which Song Ji Hyo replied, “Last week you seemed to be getting along pretty well with Lee Yeon Hee.” 
 
Gary defended himself by saying, “Hey…I feel some jealousy today as well” referring to Lee Sang Yoon’s presence. Song Ji Hyo had the last say however, when she rebuffed his commented with, “Don’t make me laugh. Sang Yoon and I have always been close” to which Gary meekly replied, “Oh, Really?” and became quiet in the backseat.

Is summer here already? Well Super Junior members Eunhyuk, Siwon and Donghae couldn’t wait to strip down, grab their swimming trunks and head to the pool to bask in the sun’s rays while consequently revealing their built upper bods. 
 
On April 21, Eunhyuk tweeted a cute line that read “swim, swim, swim~” along with a photo of the handsome trio enjoying an afternoon by the poolside. Eunhyuk appears to be the only one prepared to take a photo has he holds up a V-sign on his forehead. But all that fills our vision is Eunhyuk’s incredibly sexy 8-pack abs. If they’re dating in real life- IU is one lucky girl if she gets to run her fingers across all of that, that’s for sure!
 
However to our dismay, Siwon and Donghae’s abs appear to be concealed by a shirt or arm in this photo, so we can’t really take a peek at them, but hopefully this summer will bring more eye candy shots of our favorite idols!

Before long, Kwanghee made his surprise appearance to which Sunhwa jokingly said, “Go away“.
 
Sunhwa also presented Kwanghee with a painting that contained a letter. The couple showed a rare serious side to their relationship. Kwanghee read, “It wasn’t a real marriage, but I don’t know what to say now that our on-screen marriage is ending. Still, it’s a relief because it’s a warm spring. Your hands and feet are usually cold, but spring is warm.”
 
He went on, “Always be bright and happy. I’ll always be cheering you on. I like you. A lot,” confessing his feelings for her. Sunhwa stated, “I don’t know why, but I felt guilty.” The idol couple then expressed the feelings they held back for the past 8 months.  In the end, both of them revealed to the producers that they’d like to have a private discussion and that they’ll continue to stay in touch.
 
Kwanghee and Sunhwa started their run as a ‘We Got Married’ couple on September 1st of 2012. SHINee‘s Taemin and A Pink‘s Na Eun will be the next couple to join the show starting on April 27.

Kim Hyun Joong had more to say, however. “It’s been a while since I’ve promoted in Korea,” he said. “I think my unique character, which hasn’t been seen in a long time, will bring joy on Sunday nights.”
 
Perhaps because of his good looks, he ended up getting the most replies from the cast members to his virtual message, ahead of the cast’s departure to Vietnam.

On the April 20th broadcast of ’Entertainment Relay‘, Song Ji Hyo revealed she had predicted that she would partner up with actor Lee Dong Wook in a drama one day.

The newest member of the road trip variety program was on the losing end of a game where each player had to shoot marbles at the other team’s, knocking them off the arena.
 
As he lost more and more marbles, he made a proposal, asking the other team to lend him a marble. Lee Soo Geun agreed, but on one condition: that he dance the ‘sexy dance’ from SISTAR’s choreography.
 
“I did the guiyomi player before, but that was because I was so hungry,” Yoo Hae Jin told him. “No way I’m doing the sexy dance.”
 
However, mere minutes later, Yoo Hae Jin found himself wiggling in a very unbecoming manner, dancing to SISTAR’s “Alone” – getting his marble in the process and sending the cast members into tears of laughter.
