Male Stars Go to the Military This Year
_thumb.jpg){kind=small}
This year, some of the hottest male stars in Korean entertainment will temporarily leave the spotlight to enter the military as part of the two-year service compulsory for all Korean males. ``Coffee Prince'' star Gong Yoo met with around 1,000 fans in a special meeting Sunday. He asked fans not to worry while he was serving in the military, but became emotional during the event. Gong's red-hot career will have to be put on hold for the next two years. The actor, who recently gained popularity for his role in the hit MBC drama, will enter the military Jan. 14. Last week, actor Chun Jeong-myoung, who appeared in the film ``Hansel and Gretel,'' and pop group NRG member No Yoo-min started their military training. Hallyu stars Zo In-sung, Cho Hyun-jae, Yang Dong-keun, Lee Dong-gun and Kim Rae-won are also expected to enlist this year. The K-pop music industry will also suffer the temporary loss of Shinhwa members Eric Mun and Kim Dong-wan, singers Eru and Sung Si-kyung, as well as former H.O.T. member Tony An. As they prepare for the military, many male stars are scrambling to finish shooting TV dramas and movies, hold concerts, release new albums and endorse products. Zo is filming the historical epic ``Ssanghwajeom'' directed by Yoo Ha, while Kim Rae-won will appear in the TV drama ``Sikgaek.'' Mun and Kim Dong-wan will be the first two Shinhwa members to enter the military. The group's 10th anniversary concert in March was also seen as a ``farewell'' concert because of the members' impending service. Sung Si-kyung held a concert last December, and is said to be releasing an album before he joins the military in February. Eru received much attention from the media, after he gave up his American citizenship two years ago. His management agency said Eru, entering the military in the second half of the year, will hold his first solo concert next month. If these stars are worried fans may forget about them during their two-year absence, they should look at the experiences of male stars returning to the entertainment scene. Even though actors Song Seung-heon and Jang Hyuk entered the military in 2004 after they were accused of draft dodging, their careers did not seem to have suffered lasting damage. Jang appeared in last year's hit drama ``Thank You,'' and is currently shooting his first Hollywood film ``Dance of the Dragon.'' Song is filming ``Fate'' with Kwon Sang-woo, which will be released this year, and will soon appear in a TV drama ``The City of God.'' Other actors who are making a comeback after being discharged from the military are Ji Sung and So Ji-sup. Ji Sung is appearing in the MBC medical drama ``New Heart,'' while Suh is still filming the drama ``Cain and Abel.'' On the other hand, Won Bin, who was discharged in 2006 due to an injury, has not announced plans for a film or drama. He only made brief appearances as a UNICEF Ambassador last year.
Stars Win Suit Over Unauthorized Photos
Six stars of the Korean Wave including Jeon Ji-hyun, a heroine in the hit movie "My Sassy Girl", and actor Jung Woo-sung, who appeared in the movie "The Restless," were paid compensation from a movie magazine that used their photographs without permission. In March, seven top Korean stars including actor Cho In-sung and their agency filed a suit against Screen M&B, publisher of the monthly movie magazine Screen, demanding W50 million (US$1=W914) for each star for using the stars' photos commercially without permission. Seoul Central District Court ruled on Wednesday that the publisher must pay from W5 million to W15 million to each star for infringing their publicity rights. The court ordered the publisher to pay W15 million to Jeon Ji-hyun, Jung Woo-sung, Cho In-sung and Ji Jin-hee, W10 million to Cha Tae-hyun and W5 million to Yang Jin-woo. The figures were based on the stars' average earnings from advertisements. The agency and stars filed the suit in June 2006 after Screen M&B sold their photos on the Internet and through mobile phone services in Japan. Publicity rights are the rights to use a celebrity's name and image for commercial purposes. (englishnews@chosun.com )
