Which feature does miss A's Suzy like most about herself?



Considering miss A's comeback with "Hush", fans would agree that it's hard to imagine that the four gorgeous members would dislike something about themselves.


Suzy in particular was put on the spot on the latest 'One Night of TV Entertainment' to reveal what she did like. The reporter asked Suzy how long she's been so beautiful, and she responded hesitantly, "Um... Since middle school... I like myself the most at year 2 of middle school."

She later added, "The feature I like the most about myself are my eyes. I think they look [clear and pure]."

Julien Kang expresses his desire for Kang Ho Dong to lose weight


Julien Kang brought up Kang Ho Dong's weight in the latest episode of KBS 2TV's 'Cool Kiz on the Block.'

On the November 5 installment, while speaking to other cast member John Park, Julien Kang said, "Kang Ho Dong really needs to lose weight."

Even a bit later, while he was waiting for Kang Ho Dong with Lee Hye Jung, he insisted, "He needs to lose weight.  He needs to.  I'm going to have to make Kang Ho Dong go on a diet."

The production crew asked him why Kang Ho Dong had to lose weight and Julien Kang humorously responded, "Because he's slow.  Slow, slow," making everyone laugh.

It appears Julien Kang is very serious about basketball as he even asks each arriving member of his team whether they practiced.

Suzy reveals her feelings about her first dating rumor with Sung Joon


Before the release of miss A's second album, member Suzy met up with media outlet Sports DongA on the 5th and mentioned her dating rumor with fellow 'Book of the House of Gu' co-star, Sung Joon, back in October.  

She said, "The day the pictures came out was the day right before my birthday . . . I thought, 'This is an unforgettable birthday present for a twenty-year-old.'"  

Suzy continued, "At the time, we finished 'Book of the House of Gu' so I could catch my breath and take a rest, which enabled me to meet a lot of my friends," explaining once again that Sung Joon was just a friend. In relation to the publicizing of her private life, Suzy said, "I wasn't bothered by it, but I did realize that I should be more careful as my face is publicly known."

She will be making her first comeback in one year and two months as a singer with the release of miss A's second album 'Hush.' 

Joo Won reveals his reasons for wanting to take on graduate school


Normally, Korean celebrities have a tough life with just their own schedules to manage. However, Joo Won has decided to take on the challenge of being a graduate student while also active as an actor!

"It was a dream I've had since I was in high school," he said, giving his reason on why he wanted to continue his education. "I want to be a professor."

"If I get the opportunity and I'm smart enough, my dream is to teach kids," he continued. "After I get married, on my days I'm not acting, I want to wear a coat and brush my white hair, wear sunglasses, and go out in a nice car. I'd kiss my wife and go to teach."

This romantic vision seems to be a perfect fit for Joo Won's character. "I've had this dream for a long time," he said.

Joo Won is currently studying broadcast communications at Konkuk University.
