The Ningin Easter Bunny (me) has officially arrived to give you all the deetz on the week’s happenings and giveaways! This week we had the opportunity to interview a 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model (and former Lee Min Ho TV-only flame) Jessica Gomes. Naturally, I was left feeling like I had to do something about my summer 2010 beach body — that’s just my personality anyway. Speaking of personalities, the MLG Type A vs. Type B personality match kicked off this week. My, what personalities we have here at Ningin! More »

Every March, the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition serves as a friendly reminder that I probably need to revisit my New Years’ resolutions. Recently, I was able to interview one of my reminders, Sports Illustrated model Jessica Gomes. Aside from Sports Illustrated and her work in Korea, some of her credits include Victoria’s Secret, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue. She was kind enough to provide us insight on her life as a model, working in Korea (especially with Lee Min Ho) and her non-secrets to staying beautiful. More »

As 2009 comes to an end, it is prime time to reflect on a year of heartbreak, love, betrayal, excess, unrequited love and of course “drama.” Thankfully I’m not talking about my own personal life but two of my favorite dramas of the year: Boys Before Flowers and Shining Inheritance. From these, two Korean drama actors emerged as heartthrobs (the bad boys turned good kind): Lee Min Ho (Gu Jun Pyo of BBF) and Lee Seung Gi (Sun Woo Hwan of Shining Inheritance). But who reigns supreme as the Korean Drama King of 2009? More »

From Girlybubble: I’m cruel to myself sometimes. Just consider the title of this blog post, “Top 10 Cutest Boys of the Year.” With a sea of cute men readily available at my fingertips (not literally, I mean I can Google them), having to narrow down just 10 cute guys has been hard. But do-able! So please, ladies, gentleman…make sure you’re sitting down for this. More »

From Girlybubble: Life, why are you so hard sometimes? The chief of my morning was spent scouring every Internet corner for a cute boy with donuts. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate every hour, minute, second, nanosecond, giga second of work. It’s the daily torture that makes things hard: I’m not always eating donuts or cupcakes. Sad, but true. As a health nut with a waivering heart, I purposely make sources scarce. Now that South Korean actor Lee Min Ho is narrowed down as the Cute Boy of the Week, I’ve got a new problem. More »

Thousands of Boys Over Flowers’ fans will cry when they see this…unless you are a fan of 2NE1! When I watched Boys Over Flowers, I didn’t understand why people liked Lee Min Ho’s character. I understand he changed himself for the girl, but is he that likeable? More »

Nothing on this Earth is as pervasive as Hello Kitty. Can you believe the Royal Mint of England is the latest to succumb to the kawaii kitten? They’ve submitted to Sanrio’s demands of minting Hello Kitty coins for her 35th anniversary or else they’ll suffer the consequences.

Like they did for Chuseok, Kpop celebs have dressed up in traditional hanboks to wish you a Happy New Year and they look oh so cute!

It’s tradition for the Kpop celebs to get dolled up for the holidays, and why wouldn’t they? It’s the only time we get to see them in traditional clothing. So I rounded up a few photos of them (old and new) in celebration of the New Year.

Which Kpop celeb do you think looks best in a hanbok? Personally I love Lee Junki but he’s had experience thanks to Iljimae!

The most highly anticipated series, “the Korean Hana Yori Dango“, has now locked down on their cast. We all know that Gu Hye Seon is going to play Makino Tsukushi but who else is there? Han Chae Young has been casted to play Kim Hyun Joong’s love interest (Todo Shizuka is Hanazawa Rui’s love interest), Kim So Eun will play Gu Hye Seon’s best friend (Matsuoka Yuki) and last but not least are Kim Hyun Joo as Lee Min Ho’s older sister (Domyouji Tsubaki) and Jeon In Hwa as his mom (Domyouji Kaede).

I’m really disappointed with the F4 boys after hearing about the ladies but I have high hopes for the other parts of the series. Looking at screenshots it seems that they’ll be copying the original story almost exactly.

Unlike Meteor Garden (Taiwanese version), this HYD version will be set in High School like the original story. Also while the Japanese HYD didn’t go to the states till the 2nd season, Korea has stepped up by filming in the states already.

So they finally announced the official cast which I’m hoping is a really bad joke. Honestly I knew all the supposed cast members before were just rumors but it gave me a little hope.

The cast for the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) are: Actor Lee Min Ho as Goo Joon Pyo (Domyouji Tsukasa) SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong as Yoon Ji Hoon (Hanazawa Rui) Actor Kim Bum as So Lee Jung (Nishikado Sojiroh) T-Max’s Kim Joon as Song Yu Bin (Mimasaka Akira)

Urgh it breaks my heart but I guess Kim Hyun Joong isn’t a complete loss. He’s probably the biggest and the cutest star out of the 4 but I rather have Jae Joong~! There is no mention of who will play the lead female, Makino Tsukushi (go figure). I’m still hoping they’ll cast Lee Junki or Jae Joong so we can get some yaoi action, of course that’s just me being hopeful.

The 24 episode TV series will air on Mon – Tues after the drama “The World That They Live In” during the end of December. More »
