Actor Lee Jin Wook went under a “homme fatale” transformation for a scandalous pictorial featured in Geek Magazine‘s July edition.
As the time-traveling news anchor in the drama “Nine: Nine Time Travels,” Lee Jin Wook stepped into the role of a future-day casanova.
He featured in Geek Magazine on June 25, wearing a chic, dandy outfit and his sultry charm. His seductive gaze pierced past the camera to into the eyes and hearts of his female viewers.
On this episode of “We Got Married,” Jo Jung Chi and Jung In take charge, Go Joon Hee and Jinwoon decide to have fun with the younger couple, and Taemin and Son Na Eun compete to make the other one jealous.
Marrying the jealous type – This is your Soompi WGM recap!
(If you missed it, here is last week’s WGM recap: We’re all in this together.)
Ok Taecyeon (of 2PM) and So Yi Hyun have sported police uniforms in newly released stills for the upcoming tvN drama, “Who Are You.”
Both Taecyeon and So Yi Hyun look strong and charismatic in their uniforms. So Yi Hyun pulls off the policewoman look as she glows in confidence and beauty. Taecyeon’s muscular body and handsome looks also shine more in the uniform. Both stars revealed that it is their first time wearing uniforms while acting.
“Who Are You” is a supernatural melodrama about Si On (played by So Yi Hyun), a girl who awoke from a six-year coma and has the ability to see ghosts and Gun Woo (played by Ok Taecyeon), who only believes in practical and tangible things that can be seen and touched. Both Si On and Gun Woo only have one thing in common–being a policeman. As they clash and argue about many things while trying to work together as a team, they grow to understand each other and later on, fall in love.
“Who Are You” will air its pilot on July 29 after “Dating Agency: Cyrano” comes to an end.
On June 24, actor Lee Jong Suk transformed into a psychopathic serial killer in the suspense-thriller parody of the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama “I Can Hear Your Voice.“
Viewers will hear echoes of “I’ll be there” playing in the background of this new version of “I Can Hear Your Voice,” as Lee Jong Suk becomes the cold-blooded killer responsible for a series of high school murders. This edited version creates a powerful story dynamic that strays far from the original drama series.
The thriller version of “I Can Hear Your Voice” begins with the suspicious murders of several high school girls. The central suspect is shown to be Lee Jong Suk, who soon decides his next victim: Lee Bo Young. Lee Jong Suk chases after her, pushing and pursuing her until his fingers finally tightens its grip around her throat. Or so the producers claim, as they create this monstrous version of Lee Jong Suk the Psychopath.
Under his echoing repetitions of “I’ll be there,” Lee Bo Young grows increasingly panicked with each subsequent text message. Her face-acting, coupled with the shaking camera lens, will suck the audience into an unbreakable suspense until the end–and viewers will then let go of the breath they didn’t know they were holding in.
The Netizens were quick to comment on the parody, exclaiming that “it was like watching an actual horror-thriller flick,” and, “Was this horror-atmosphere always there when they originally filmed ‘I Can Hear Your Voice’?” Their heated response showed the success of the parody in garnering audience response.
SBS Contents Hub is awaiting the SBS airing of the drama before releasing the parody. They plan to release the parody simultaneously with the TV Jobs Open event.

It’s been a few weeks since Exo dropped their comeback single, “Wolf.” And while K-Pop listeners either really love the song or really hate the song, sometimes our opinions are smothered in bias. So I got two of my good friends to watch the “Wolf” MV and give their honest opinions about it. 24 year-old Louisiana native Matthew, who’s already done a “Popping Cherries” with B.A.P’s “One Shot” and 28 year-old New Yorker Jen, who is totally new to the K-Pop world, join me in this howling edition of Popping Cherries.

Salima: This is Exo’s comeback after an entire year. Exo is a group from the biggest entertainment company in Korea and they had fans before they even debuted. They came out with 23 teaser videos. It’s 12 boys.

Matthew: From what you’ve shown me about K-Pop, the guys usually look like girls.
Salima: *Ignores Matthew* After a year of their fans waiting for them to comeback, they came out with a song called “Wolf.” This is it.
Jen: So that’s a tree? It looks like a tree.
Salima: That’s a tree.
Jen: Woah. That was hot.
Matthew: Oh my goodness, that boy’s hair!
Jen: And his hair!
Matthew: This is interesting. The beat just switched up.
Jen & Matthew: *burst out laughing at howls*
Matthew: Are they seriously howling right now? Seriously?
Salima: Yes, dude.
Jen: Despite that… this beat is kind of awesome.
Salima: So these are the other 6 guys coming in. Earlier you only saw the first 6.
Matthew: Was that a wolf? That was so cool. It’s filmed very well and the special effects are on point.
Jen: Did he just say, “situation”? Because I think I understood that.
Salima: Haha yeah, he said “situation.”
Next: Kaleidoscopes, jazz hands, and Dragon Ball Z?

All the important Korean Entertainment news from this week in one place: This is your Weekly Soompi Roundup!
-Only a few weeks after her happy wedding, Baek Ji Young suffered from a miscarriage. Soompi and her fans all over the world sent their condolences for this deeply saddening news.
-Se7en and Sangchu are currently being investigated for visiting an adult massage parlor while serving their military duty. Sangchu has claimed responsibility, but there were rumors that Se7en was kicked out of his own fan cafe. This has, obviously, stirred everyone up in a frenzy, including actor Choi Philip who went on a rant on Twitter. Guess this isn’t the “happy ending” they were wanting.

-Girl’s Day‘s agency had to explain that in the “Female President” music video, Yura is not naked, but thanks for noticing that we tried really hard to make it look as if she’s pretty much naked.
-Roy Kim and Park Soo Jin may or may not be dating. Regardless, with the news older women rejoiced that Roy Kim would even consider someone eight years older. Huzzah!
-Han Go Eun may or may not be dating a military physician. What’s with the denials and secrecy? Be open, everyone else is.

-K-Pop’s creep, the CEO of World Entertainment, was sentenced to six years in prison for sexually assaulting minors. Let’s hope we never hear from this guy again.

After what seemed like a bitter give-and-take between Jang Yoon Jung and her family, the singer revealed her thoughts about the recent family feud.
On June 27, Jang Yoon Jung spoke about her family issues on JTBC’s “News 9.”
During the interview, the reporter stated, “There were many stimulating stories about you.” Jang Yoon Jung replied, “I’m upset but I understand because everyone has their own views. Stimulating articles are written when the topic is stimulating.”
She continued, “I don’t read news stories or netizen comments about me. Even when people around me try to tell me, I stop them.”
She also added, “It’s very upsetting. I regret that I brought up my family issues on broadcast. From now on, I won’t ever share my worries with anyone.”
Previously, Jang Yoon Jung appeared on “Healing Camp“ and stated that her brother and mother squandered her savings. Jang Yoon Jung’s mother and brother retaliated by appearing on a news program and denying those accusations.
Meanwhile, Jang Yoon Jung and her fiance Do Kyung Wan got married on June 28.
June 28 marked an important day for two couples, actor Kim Jae Won and his long-time, non-celebrity girlfriend, and singer Jang Yoon Jung and KBS announcer Do Kyung Wan.

2AM‘s Jinwoon attracted media attention when he said he’d be willing to show some skin with his TV-wife Go Jun Hee, from the program “We Got Married.“
In the fourth season of “We Got Married,” three competing couples – Jung Chi & Jung In, Taemin & Son Na Eun, and Jinwoon & Go Jun Hee - were told that the couples photoshoot would be an upcoming mission for the show. When they heard that the best photo shoot would feature on the front page of the illustrative magazine, each of the couples burned with ambition to win and be acknowledged as the best-looking couple of the show.
Jinwoon especially demonstrated his desire to win during a meeting with the magazine photographer when he strongly insisted, “I would even be willing to expose myself in order to win the spot on the front page.”
The photo set of the handsome Jinwoon & Go Jun Hee couple – with their model heights and figures – will broadcast on June 29 at 5:10pm.
