Kim Tae Won regrets his past addiction of drugs

Being part of Boohwal, one of the oldest Korean rock groups, guitarist Kim Tae Won revealed his true feelings about his past usage of drugs on SBS’ When It’s At Night.
On the recent episode, he stated, “Back then when I touched drugs, I was jailed at the Seodaemun prison. Almost as if it was a promise to my seniors, I started doing drugs. It was my foolish curiosity; I had lots of it and I regret that.”
However being caught doing drugs again in 1991, the MC’s asked, “If you regret it, why did you do it again?”
He answered, “After the formation of Boohwal in 1986, we met Lee Seung Chul. After the breakup two years later, he made a comeback with the song, ‘Final Concert’. I started to drift away from the people’s attention. At a young age, I was sulky, I couldn’t stand it because he was on TV all the time. It was originally my song; nobody gave it another look, but they went crazy when Lee Seung Chul sang it. To make it worse, that song was written while thinking of my wife, and I felt that her thoughts toward me was depressing. That sulkiness was the reason why I couldn’t end my addiction.
He also stated, “When I was high, I saw ghosts, aliens, and angels. There were even times when I saw things 3 seconds ahead. Instead of a reaction after something happened, my reaction was before an event happened. I would also hear a beeping sound for 24 hours… This is common for everyone who stopped doing drugs. You’re more into the addiction than your own life. I was so absorbed into it, I couldn’t find myself to regret it. I could only put an end to it after finding something that was more blissful. My father’s journal and my wife saved me because she came to see me at prison everyday.”
Looking at how serious drug addiction is, it’s good to see that he stopped before things got out of hand.

Rain at SuJu’s Guangzhou concert forces members to slip & Kyuhyun to perform barefoot

With Super Junior in China for part of their Super Show 3 Tour on December 25, ELFs in Guangzhou have been animated with the prospect of celebrating the Christmas holidays with their favorite idols. Unfortunately, SuJu members and ELFs had their spirits dampened when oncoming showers made the performance stage extremely wet and slippery, forcing the performers to endure low temperatures and rainy weather throughout the show.

One report states that the SuJu members appeared to be shivering from the low temperatures due to their light attire; Sungmin, who was dressed in a top with short sleeves, nearly stopped playing guitar because his fingers were practically frozen stiff.

Furthermore, due to the wet stage, leader Leeteuk and members Siwon and Kyuhyun ended up slipping one after another; Kyuhyun reportedly ended up taking off his shoes and simply enduring the cold by performing barefoot.

Instead of letting the unfortunate circumstances rain on their parade (literally), ELFs still remained supportive, enthusiastically cheering on the performers and waving their pearl sapphire blue glowsticks encouragingly. In return, the members of Super Junior determinedly put forth their best efforts for a strong show decked with holiday festivities by appearing on stage in Christmas-themed attire to sing “Jingle Bells.” The members also wished Sungmin, who will turn 25 (25 in Korean age) on New Year’s Day, an early happy birthday.

It’s nice to see that, despite the horrid weather conditions, Super Junior ended up pulling through and delivering a memorable show complete with Christmas spirit. Hopefully Mother Nature will be more forgiving in the future!

IU talks about her ‘ugly’ character and future acting plans

IU made a humble statement about her physical appearance while attending the production conference for KBS 2TV’s “Dream High” on December 27th.

The singer plays a student named ‘Pil Sook’, who has low self-esteem because she was teased about her ‘ugly’ face. As “Dream High” marks her very first acting sting, IU reflected, “I’m really nervous since it’s my first time. When I was in elementary school, I dreamt of becoming an actress and even attended acting school, but all of a sudden switched paths to becoming a singer. I feel like how I do in ‘Dream High’ will determine the future of my career and activities.”

Regarding her character, ‘Pil Sook,’ she revealed, “I’ve been looking back at my diaries I wrote during my trainee days and asking myself how I felt at that time. As opposed to acting, I’ve been trying to bring out the trainee in me.”

She continued, “‘Pil Sook’ is an ugly character in the drama, but as for me, I really am ugly when I erase my makeup (laughter).”

When asked about whether she dreams of becoming an ‘almighty entertainer’, IU replied, “I don’t have such grand dreams like that yet. Should people give me opportunties, I will be thankful and do my best.  As for my acting career, I’m not sure whether I’ll continue it until after the drama finishes. Neither my agency nor myself have an idea on that – it depends on the viewers for now.”

IU concluded, “I’ll do my best for the people that will be supporting us or watching over us.”

“Dream High” will broadcast its pilot episode on January 3rd, 2011.
