"Boys Over Flowers" cast heat up Japan over weekend
The cast of Korean TV series "Boys Over Flowers" visited Japan over the weekend to attend an event promoting the hit show from early last year.
Some 5,000 fans turned up at the "Boys Over Flowers Last Event - Graduation," held in Yokohama, Japan to meet their favorite cast members from the show including actors Lee Min-ho, Kim Bum, Kim Joon and Ku Hye-sun.
The event started with an opening performance by T-Max, led by leader Kim Joon, who sang their popular tracks from the series' soundtrack including "Paradise," "SAY YES," "Empty Bet" and "Bang Bang Boom."
"Boys Over Flowers," adapted from Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango, was a sensation during its three-month run in Korea starting January 2009.
The cast from the show, also including SS501 member Kim Hyun-joong who was unable to attend the weekend event, had been holding individual fan meetings in neighboring Asian countries due to the success of the series in the region.
IPOLL had a poll open for voting from March 22 until April 25 for “Korea’s Top 100 Most Gorgeous Men and Women.” The poll ended yesterday after seeing millions of votes from fans of various artistes. The winners of the poll were popular new actors - Jang Geun Suk and Goo Hye Sun, but while actors may have won the poll the presence of singers of the top 10 list could not be ignored. The younger idols were represented byJaebum and Sunye on the list, while the older idols were represented by Kangta , Eugene and Hyori.

Lee Min-ho attends last "Boys Over Flowers" Japan event
Korean actor Lee Min-ho attended a fan event for hit TV series "Boys Over Flowers" held in Japan over the weekend.
The actor met with some 5,000 fans at "Boys Over Flowers Last Event - Graduation," held at Yokohama Pacific Hall on April 25, making his last appearance as the show's main character Goo Joon-pyo.
"Thank you for the support and love you have shown toward me and the drama," the actor said. "'Boys Over Flowers' is a drama that gave me many memories. I am now officially graduating from the character Goo Joon-pyo, but I will be showing you new characters from now on."
The actor asked his Japanese fans to look forward to his current TV series "Personal Taste," which he said is likely to air in Japan sometime in the future.
The event also featured several of his co-stars from "Boys Over Flowers" including actors Kim Bum, Ku Hye-sun and Kim Joon of T-Max. Popular boy band SHINee also heated up the venue with their musical performance.
Lee, 22, became a household name in Korea and throughout Asia last year with the success of "Boys Over Flowers".
He currently stars in MBC's Wednesday/Thursday evening drama "Personal Taste" as a man pretending to be gay in order to move in with a female friend, played by Son Ye-jin.
Korean wave heats up Japan as the cast of the phenomenal Asian hit TV drama ‘Boys Over Flowers’ dropped by over the weekend.
Promoting their TV series, actors Lee MinHo, Kim Bum, Kim Joon and Goo HyeSun showed up at the ‘Boys Over Flowers Last Event – Graduation’ held in Yokohama, Japan. The event started with an opening performance by T-Max, alongside member Kim Joon, and serenaded 5,000 attendees with the series’ soundtrack including Paradise, Say Yes, Empty Bet and Bang Bang Boom.
Due to unfortunate reasons, heartthrob Kim HyunJoong wasn’t able to attend the event but as what they’ve said – the show must go on. Meanwhile, with the undoubtedly huge success of the three month run of the Korean drama adaptation of the Japanese manga ‘Hana Yori Dango’, the ‘Boys Over Flowers’ cast will continue to attend various fan meetings in neighboring Asian countries.
The mc's are asking F3 and GHS to choose the person who best,,,ofcourse, I do not understand Japanese so will try to translate only theKorean parts.
They chose KJ first: they seem to be saying that KJ walks in sleep or slept the most.
But they also asked about Minho's sleeping. Minho chimed in to say that his sleeping was not as bad as Joon hyung.
KJ says that he admits that he slept the most but that Minho slept during filming. (GHS did that too.)
For the 2nd question, they all pointed to GHS (I don't think she likes it.)
GHS says that she does not think she gave any harms to anyone.
LMH says that they often skipped meals due to busy schedule. When that happens, he was too scared to talk with GHS.
(I guess the question was who was the crankiest when they did not eat??)
Quiet~~GHS is shaking her head and hand.
GHS says that she thinks they are falsely accusing her (while smiling).
KB says that because of GHS-ssi, he also felt the need to eat regularly.
She still shook her head.
For the 3rd part, they also chose KJ.
LMH says that KJ has become a baseball professional.
KJ says that he is basically playing baseball due to a program.
He is more relaxed and friends have teased him that he really has become a baseball player.
---------------------------------
Yes GHS sang the song that she sang at the Talk Show Rock.
I also love the music and lyrics to that song:
That is what living is like, isn't it?
We cannot always do what we say we will do..
You never know what will really happen.
But that is what makes life exciting although a bit scary too.
