Suzy makes Jun Ji Hyun's character jealous with her cameo on 'You Who Came From The Stars'

SBS aired the highly anticipated episode of 'You Who Came From The Stars' with the special cameo by Suzy!  She got to reunite with her 'Dream High' co-star and love interest Kim Soo Hyun, which in turn made Jun Ji Hyun's character very jealous.  The whole scene greatly alluded to the drama 'Dream High.'

In the scene, Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) kept trying to talk to Chun Song Yi (Jun Ji Hyun) to no avail as he was ignored and avoided; therefore, he went to sit at a bench where he encountered Go Hye Mi (Suzy), who called him professor.  She turned out to be one of his past students, not to mention the character's name was the very same from 'Dream High.'

She said, "Professor.  Do you recognize me?  I'm Go Hye Mi.  I was in your class last year and even the year before that.. I told you that you looked really similar to my ex-boyfriend Sam Dong."  For those of you who did not watch 'Dream High,' Sam Dong was the name of Kim Soo Hyun's character!  She continued, "I purposely handed in a blank exam to get an F and retake the course, but you don't remember me?"

Do Min Joon said, "I think I remember.." so Go Hye Mi replied, "I'm disappointed.  At that time, I almost got kicked out of my house because of that F.. Maybe.. it's because I got prettier than last year.. I lost a lot of my baby fat since then and hear a lot that I got more mature."  She even asked for his number!

Chun Song Yi, who saw this, became green with envy and purposely went to Do Min Joon's side to say, "Do Min Joon, didn't you say you had something to tell me?  I have time right now," to viewers' amusement.  

Make sure you watch the episode to see for yourself!

KBS Bans All H.O.T Songs From Broadcasts, Including “Candy”

TV audiences will no longer be able to hear H.O.T songs on KBS, after a network decision to ban all H.O.T songs.

KBS has deemed that all H.O.T songs, including “Candy” and “Warrior’s Descendant,” are unfit for broadcast, and reclassified them as prohibited songs.

This follows after H.O.T member Tony Ahn was charged for online illegal gambling last year, evoking much public criticism. KBS has decided to place a temporary ban on Tony Ahn appearing on broadcasts, and this extends to videos and songs in which he is featured as well.

He was charged, along with other celebrities such as Lee Su Geun and Tak Jae Hoon, of illegally gambling large sums of money and received a six month prison sentence and one year of probation. The three had admitted to habitual illegal gambling since 2008, bets which totaled hundreds of millions in Korean won.

This means Songs such as “Candy,” a Valentine’s Day favorite, “Happiness,” “Hope” and “We are the Future” won’t be heard on KBS until the ban on Tony Ahn is lifted.

KBS ruled that because “his illegal and immoral actions caused public criticism, we have decided to ban (Tony Ahn) from appearing on broadcasts.” The network stated that a special committee would be called “more specifically, in cases of ‘evasion of military service,’ ‘habitual use of drugs or smoking marijuana,’ ‘fraud, theft, gambling,’ ‘violence or sexual harassment,’ ‘other civil or criminal charges’ and ‘disturbing public order and morals.’”

If the committee decides that there is a problem with the figure in question, they can take the following measures depending on the importance of the issue: “recommend broadcast restriction”, “temporarily stop all broadcasts (when facing civil or criminal charges)” or “ban from broadcasts.”
