DBSK/Tohoshinki’s Jaejoong is going to be in a new Japanese drama titled Sunao Ni Narenakute (For Not Being Honest). I haven’t seen that Heaven’s Postman he was in so I’m not sure about his acting skills… Anyone seen it? How was his acting? More »

It looks like Kim Hyun Joong’s immune system has reached its limits, many times over. The star from Boys Over Flowers and boy group SS501 had just been diagnosed with swine flu. Even without the virus though, he still lost around 12 lbs during filming and rarely slept more than a few hours a night.

From Ziggytek: Would you buy a phone that could alert you to swine flu outbreaks as it happens? The experiment brought to light by the Japan Times in early June 2009 is a new initiative being launched by the Japanese Government in conjunction with a phone carrier, possibly Softbank, this coming fall.

Sorry for the lack of favorites the past few days, but the powers that be gave me a few days off. I’m guessing they’re afraid that I’ll burn out or something. Ok the truth… I was afraid of getting swine flu. Until I saw this mask. Now I feel safe to blog again.
