Yuri Shows Off Her S-line for Cosmopolitan Magazine

Girls’ Generation member and actress Yuri acted alongside actor Lee Jong Sukand singer-actor Seo In Guk. Yuri revealed their real-life personalities in a recent interview and pictorial she did for Cosmopolitan magazine.

In her upcoming movie “No Breathing,” she played the role of Jung Eun, the first love of both Lee Jong Suk and Seo In Guk.

Commenting on her co-stars, she said, “I was surprised as both of them turned out to be completely opposite from what people think. Seo In Guk has the image of a considerate oppa, but he gave me the vibe of a charming bad boy. I thought Lee Jong Suk was just really chic, but he turned out to be more of a mischievous prankster.”

Yuri explained the character of Jung Eun, “She is really different from the typical first love. She has an unaffected personality, often hitting Seo In Guk’s character on the back of the head, and eating chicken feet even in front of the guy like it’s not a big deal.“

Through this pictorial, Yuri shows a new level of maturity with the alluring look in her eyes. Her pictorial and interview will be released in “Cosmopolitan’s” November edition.

NH Media expands on details regarding Dongho's reason for leave

 
NH Media stated, "[Dongho's departure] was not due to a discord [with the group or the agency]. It is something that Dongho considered for a long time... Since a long time ago, Dongho didn't think the celebrity life was right for him and has discussed this multiple times, so we have been thinking about a future course of action for a long time... [Dongho] initially took a break from his activities, but he officially decided to leave the group on the 16th."

According to NH Media, Dongho halted his activities following his group's Tokyo concert on August 30. But even after the break, his wish to leave the entertainment industry still hadn't changed, so the agency allowed him to leave after considering his wish and the fact that his physical condition seemed to be taking a toll, even despite the fact that Dongho still had 3 years left under the contract.

As it is a very rare occurrence that an agency will allow an artist to leave before the contract's expiration, the agency was asked to explain. A rep said, "We decided to follow his wishes. As much as he expressed his wish not to live as a celebrity anymore, it seems like [Dongho] will not only stop his activities as a singer but in other fields as well. It seems he will start having to think about what he will do from now on."

Although Dongho's departure is a definite setback, U-KISS plan to make their comeback later this month as scheduled.

Chun Jung Myung replied, “Having a youthful face is not all that great. It’s my complex.” He further revealed that “When I was debuting, I had a difficult time because of how young I looked. I was left out of dramas, movies and commercials many times despite making it to the final stages of casting. It was really hard for me because of that. 
 
He further explained his difficulties, “I avoided drinking sessions with guys. Because of the first impression my face gives, I feel a little awkward even around those younger than me. So I have not been to these gatherings.”
 
Chun Jung Myung recently filmed the movie “Queen of the Night” with Kim Min Jung and he gave his impressions on working together with her, “We were able to work pleasantly together to film the movie.” He confidently stated, “Reactions to the movie are pretty good.

Joo Won reveals the reason he left '1N2D' + thanks KARA's Seungyeon for her interest

 
In a cafe in Apgujeong, Seoul on the 15th, Joo Won revealed that it was his humble nature which led him to leave the show. He shared, "I always felt sorry to my members. I still feel regretful and sorry... Because I am not the type to easily share my feelings and concerns, I never discussed leaving the show with the members... Although my hyungs always cheered me on saying, 'Just the way you are is the best,' I think I felt like I was lacking. Whenever I read viewers' comments, such as 'Why did he join?' and 'Why is he still here?', my sorry heart felt heavier."

"I thought that I could do well if I stick with '1N2D' for one year. But I started to feel how much I was lacking much more strongly, so in the end, I decided to leave... I at least wanted to tell them the news that I was leaving personally. After hearing that the articles about it came out, I immediately called my members and told them the truth. I am thankful that my hyungs understood, and I feel sorry. I had a good time."

In response to KARA's Seungyeon confessing her love for Joo Won on the recent broadcast of '1 vs. 100', Joo Won also expressed his positive feelings for her. "I was very surprised. I once saw Seungyeon while performing a musical with SS501's Park Jung Min. I remember her being charming and pretty... Out of my past work, it seems Seungyeon likes Shi On from 'Good Doctor'. It's really an honor. I feel thankful, and it felt good to hear that."

Joo Won also revealed that he still receives an allowance,
"I receive an allowance of 1 million KRW (~$936 USD)... Compared to how it used to be, it has increased a bit... Excluding my allowance, the rest of my income is managed by my mother. Because I don't even drink, I have money left over. I don't have a credit card. I haven't made a credit card in my name yet."
