(Yoo Hee Yul’s Radio Heaven definitely seems like the kind of a music program that GHS would really love: kind of music he plays on air and his mellow, gently blunt and funny yet philosophical style,,,, I liked him too.)
She even admits to Yoo that she listens to him all the time and that she really likes him. She says she loves his sense of humor. Yoo requested that GHS’ statement be recorded special for his keepsake.(hahaha)
It is her first time meeting Yoo in person and finds him very handsome. It made Yoo turn red (according to GHS) and he also became distracted for a minute. He lost his speech for a second and told her that he also enjoys playing piano.(Maybe Yoo is offering that he would be willing to jam with her sometimes? It was funny! Also, GHS is true to her words as she said in TBS Kings’ Brunch Program. She cannot hold back if she likes somebody. She expressed in public radio program that she not only loves Yoo’s program and finds him very handsome but that she also likes him! Hahaha!) He was embarrassed and thought that Isao Sasaki would think of him "crazy”. Everybody laughs. Then he says that he does not know what he is saying and he and GHS laugh. In the beginning of the program when he is introducing GHS and Isao Sasaki, he told GHS that he feels as if his eyes just turned bright and clear just by looking at her in person and expressed his admiration. (GHS and Yoo's flirtings with each other on air was adorable! Later, after GHS and Isao Sasaki have left already, one of his listeners send in a comment that today's program was quite different than before! hahaha)
She and Sasaki played combined with . GHS says that he and she are going to play that fusion music for the next CD together.(Wow, another CD already in preparation!) GHS first approached Sasaki by sending him her music for review and GHS became Sasaki’s fan ever since she heard his as a child. Her first impression of Sasaki when she met in person was that he seemed like a very kind-hearted “AhJuhssi or Uncle”. That is how she calls Isao Sasaki and he understands it. They have met since about two months ago.(Remember she went to Japan in early July?) Regarding his free concert, he could not clarify as he does not know the details.GHS gained confidence to publicize her music because she also found out that Sasaki never learned piano professionally, just like herself. They share that commonality~ they both love to play and work on their music on their own and to create music on their own. Sasaki also learned various musical instruments on his own like violin and flute.
His first impression of GHS was, like everybody else, that she is very cute. He did not know much about her as he does not watch TV that much. Then he found out more about GHS through internet and found her to be a very impressive woman. He also found her music very refreshing and that is why he wanted to work with her.Sasaki also played his own composition, “A Beautiful Meeting”~ WOW, so good! What an appropriate title also for their first appearance together in public!! It was announced by Yoo’s listener in this program that GHS’s is the number 3 on a particular music site! *WOW*GHS also played her with a cellist named Jung Ji Eun. *WOW* Sounds really nice with the added cello sound.( I am even more looking forward to her movie now!!!) In response to a question about the cast for her movie, GHS states that she cannot yet reveal as she is begging someone to act in her movie right now. Yoo, without missing a beat, says that, right, in case that person rejects your offer, we do not want to think of her as a horrible person! (This is the point at which GHS told Yoo that is why she likes him!)
In response to some of the email questions, GHS stated that she has not yet received the comprehensive physical after BOF. After she explains why she needs physical exam, Yoo says that he will give her "ho ho" after the show. That expression of sound is usually given to little kids who have a "boo boo or bruise" and mothers usually blow on their cuts or bruises and say "ho ho". (hahah) She really loves and has always wanted to do something with her love of writing, composing and drawing. She has gradually become very interested in directing and making movies as a result. She has been working on her crafts all her life and so far she has accumulated over 100 compositions and songs. Isao Sasaki also played a bit of his famous . WOW!
Towards the end of his program, Yoo also plays several Tango music!! (how appropriate as he and GHS talked about her book TANGO and all her other talents!)
Boys Over Flower's Jandi Goo Hye Sun has revealed the reason behind the making of her new musical album, "Breath". On the midnight of 4th of September, Goo Hye Sun and fellow guest Isao Sasaki were also featured on KBS Cool FM 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Radio Heaven'. In the show, the duo played 'Chopsticks' and Goo Hye Sun's 'Unusual Separations' together on the piano.
Goo Hye Sun stated during the show, "Many people misunderstand my aspirations; since I was a child, I have always wanted to be a movie director." She continued, "I have been planning a full-length musical film for a long time, and in the midst of that, I created some music beforehand. Usually the OST comes after the release of the film, but I wanted to see what it would be like to release the music first; this is why I released these songs - to reach and familiarize the public."

Sasaki revealed that he had received an offer from Goo to take part in her album. Goo responded, "As a child, I loved Sasaki's Sky Walker. Being such a big fan, it was a huge honor for me to request Sasaki to perform the music that I composed. I have never studied music professionally; I only learned a bit of piano when I was little. I had little courage to release my songs, but Sasaki's stories gave me strength. Sasaki told me he studied music by himself, which was encouraging," added Goo Hye Sun. "I made melodies every time I could think of one. I have saved about 100 songs, but only selected the best for this album."
Sasaki went on, "I usually don't watch TV so I didn't know who Goo Hye Sun was. But her first impression was so cute. Only later when I searched the internet did I realize that she was an amazing person."Goo Hye Sun explained that the title of her album, 'Breath', was chosen because it is "something that everyone does best in their lives, but is unaware of." She also stated, "I believe that the music we listen to is a BGM flowing like our lives." She also revealed that the planned musical film will likely be shot this winter.
Meanwhile, Goo Hye Sun also just completed a press conference this past hour for her upcoming projects.
Just hours after we posted the only vocal track, Down An Alley from Goo Hye Sun's musical album, the rest of the album tracks have now been uploaded onto Youtube.
Other than the vocal track (featuring Gummy), the other seven tracks on the album are full instrumental pieces composed by Goo Hye Sun, and will be used for her full-length movie, to be filmed at the end of the year.
Goo Hye Sun hopes to get her fans acclimatized to her music before viewing the actual movie. And once again, Goo Hye Sun did the artwork for her album jacket and you can get a feel of it from her album cover picture below. All of the track names are pretty philosophical, which is typical of Goo Hye Sun's style. Nice soothing tracks by the way, perfect if you want something to listen to as you wind down your day.
Goo Hye Sun will also be having her album commemorative concert, Over the Rainbow on 5th September, featuring famous Japanese entertainer, Isao Sasaki.

[Preview] Goo Hye Sun - Around the Alley (Vocals Ver. Feat Gummy)
The words to GHS’s song, sang by Gummy, are just so beautiful that I had to try a hand at translation so that you all hear the meaning. Her Korean writing style is very poetic and beautiful that I cannot do justice with my translation. Her last song that I translated was, I felt, still somewhat bitter and still angry about her break-up. But this song makes you think/feel that she is more at peace though still hurting somewhat.
If I turn at the end of the alley:
If I turn at the end of the alley, I feel as if you are there. I close my eyes, without thinking, carefully, I walk towards it. My love, all those happy times, wind blows at me the memories, again entangling me.
I loved you. Because I loved you, I am truly sorry for having hurt you. If I turn at the end of the alley and if you promise to be there, silently I step closer to you and fall into your arms.
If I turn at the end of the alley, I feel as if you are there. I close my eyes, without thinking, carefully. I walk towards it. My love, all those happy times, wind blows at me the memories, again entangling me.
I loved you so much. Because I loved you so much, I am truly sorry for having hurt you. If I turn at the end of the alley and if you promise to be there, silently I step closer to you and fall into your arms.
Then, I was too young and could not understand. Now that time has flown by, I realized that it was love. I did not know then. Isn’t it funny? I pretended to know it all back then. Finally, as little as a clip of a nail, I realized now that was love.
I loved you so much. Because I loved you so much, I am so sorry for having hurt you.
I am going to understand you now. I am now going to let you go. Comfortably, in my memory.
I loved you so much. Because I loved you so much, I am so sorry for having hurt you. I am going to understand you now. I will let you go. Comfortably, in each other’s memories.
Multitalented actress, writer, artist and director, GOO HYE SUN, is preparing to debut an album! It was only recently announced that she will be endorsing for Doutor Coffee Company . Actually, it was only recently when all of her projects started emerging. 2009 has got to be her year, having her kick off in all directions of the industry.
Goo Hye Sun had been preparing for her album for a while, where the album was intended to come out a few months ago. But with so much going on, from her book Tango to having an art exhibition, it had to be pushed back. She will be receiving help from 1tym members Oh Jin Hwan and Song Baek Kyung and even Tablo for her upcoming album.
Goo Hye Sun never fails to amaze us. She clearly stands out from other artists. Many artists nowadays go for some type of look to sell and market themselves, whether it's looking cute, sexy, or seductive. Goo Hye Sun strays away from all of that and is actually able to show talent with what she does. I'm not gonna deny that she gained most of the fame through Boys Over Flowers but without her own abilities, she wouldn't be at this level.
Good thing the trio girl group with Park Bom and Sandara Park didn't happen (LOLZ) :D. Goo Hye Sun's solo album is supposed to drop in the fall (September or October).
*can't wait for her album to be released.. i love her voice, very sweet and romantic*
This is the interview of GHS by Lee Hae Young of EBS Cinema ChunGook (Cinema Heaven) This interview is really powerful in that Lee gets to the guts of GHS where it really hurts! GHS confirms for me for the second time (the first time from Elle Girl article) that she is not a miracle worker but a goal-driven, creative, hard worker. I thought she wrote her whole full-length screen play after she finished BOF. I thougth how could she??? She had to prepare for the gallery opening and she had to do promotional activities for BOF. However, it seems that she had been planning and working on her full length movie for a long time, for few years in fact. I do not know when she enrolled in her college which is Seoul Art College. However, she knew she wanted to major in PD. I do not think she graduated college yet. I know that she wrote a script (12 episodes longs) that was rejected by many PD companies until she went to her life-manager, late Jung Seung Hae. However, Jung told her to do a short film and to make it herself. Perhaps that original 12-episode screen play might be her full-length movie to be??? I am sure she worked on it more to perfect it????? In MTV Girls on Top, the PD Hyun who directed her MV for "Yesterday So Different From Today" talked about how GHS is so interested in mystery films that contains logic and reasoning with some psychological twists, remember??? Perhaps talked about it with Director Hyun??? Why not? She works with so many directors and she wants to be a director. Why not learn while earning money too, right??? OF course, I am just guessing here, but it could be.
First pic is of Lee Hae Young in front of the Gallery La Mer in Insadong: Actor and Director Goo Hye Sun Attractive Making her debut through stirring up "ulzzang syndrome" Historical and modern TV dramas Playing various roles so well, her acting skills acknowledged Author of Directorial Debut with , invited to be screned at the PIFAN
Below 3rd pix: Lee: I saw your . Except for acting in it, you pretty much did everything for that short film. Your film also received great reviews. (I also read somewhere--sorry can't remember--that she also worked on the details of the set design.) Goo: Ahh, you saw it? Lee: It's a story of one certain church that helps with mercy killing. "Imagination of space" (or maybe the phrase could be interpreted as "twilight zone"???) You really did a remarkable job. Honestly, I was very jealous. (If I remember correctly, I believe Lee Hae Young is also a director/PD.)
Below 4th pic: Goo: ahh, really? Lee: an actress makes short film? a director? On top of that she is not just an actress, but a pretty one.A young and pretty actress directing a film roused lots of jealousy and envy. You know? Goo: Perhaps not to the point of jealousy. Perhaps you thought, WHY? For what possible reason?? (I just love the way she"reversed" Lee's statement of his jealousy to a question that most people are wondering about her and her new ventures into so many different artisic medium. Lee calls this interview, "the interview of reversal or turn around". I don't quite know why, but I enjoyed the way Goo handled it. Yes, people are wondering, why is Goo doing all this? Why doesn't she just focus on perfecting her acting? Why is she showing off by writing, composing, drawing and directing? Is she trying to prove something to herself and/or to others???) Lee: Did you feel you have to prove something to people? You felt inadquate for some reason? Why did you do it?
Below 5th pic: Goo: sighs, I have lots problems and stress..things that I think about often...after a while, these thoughts disappear...they are just thoughts. I somehow did not want to let these daily thoughts of mine disappear. My thoughts and imaginations...imginations and creations...I did not want to lose them. I did not want to reveal them by talking about them but thorugh pictures and images. Lee: AS you know, this interview has a name. A turn around interview. So what kind of bias and prejudice do you think the audience may have?
Below 6th pic: Lee: Don;t pick anything too pretty. Think of the worst kind. (Wow, I like this guy! He is making GHS confront her enemies (anti's) and fear head on!) Goo: Why all of a sudden so much all at once? For me to come this far took a long time with lots of work. But to the audience and viewers out there, they are thinking, how can a mere actress finish a drama, write, draw, compose and direct all at once? Lee: That is right! Why and how did you do so much all at once? Yea, to us the audience, it is like a water dam broke. Flood of your works, all different kind of works are coming out from everywhere. People are saying you poke your nose into just about anything!
Below 7th pic: Lee: For example, this place, this gallery is a place where your art work is exhibited. Also, you made a very good short movie. There are more--what are they? A novel! Not a short novel or a colection of short essays, but a long novel! People are asking, who is this person? What is she all about? Why is she doing this all of a sudden??? To stir up more bias, there is only one reason! Through acting, directing and art, you are ever branching out and widening your career field because of one reason of insatiable and unending greed! (Wow! this guy seems to be toughening up GHS' skin for the future anti's! Almost like a boxing lessong for GHS! Or just trying to break her down mercilessly?)
Below 8th pic: Goo: Rather, I am showing to the audience the sauce or the ingredinets that go into making a movie. I want ot make movies. A movie requires not only actors but also art, music, various images, and more. Lee: You are talking about making a movie not as an actress but as a producer and director?
Below 9th pic: Goo: Yes, these are things that I have been preparing, in order to make a movie. As I worked on a movie, I felt the need to compose, to write, to design and draw. Of course, some of these things, I always wanted to do, but mostly it was for a movie. All of a sudden, I had way too much materials left over from preparing and studying to make a movie. I cannot use them all for a movie. I couldn't throw them away. So, I thougt, why not just show them to people first? All these material from my study. I guess that is all. Lee: I see, so, even your novel fits into that?
Below 10th pic: Goo: Yes, that's right. Lee: So, all that work soley to make a movie. But acting is missing. People are questioning if GHS is going to only direct and not act anymore. When are you going to act again? Goo: For a while, I will still do my best as an actress. Acting has brought me to this spot now and acting is my current job. Lee: Actually, actors can be a used as target of yearning and admiration but also people can sink these actors by making them into a target of jealousy and envy.
Below 11th pic: Goo: Yes Lee: You personally were hurt a great deal through such attacks. Goo: I could have lived in animosity. Until that happened, I thought to myself that I put in effort and hard work like so many people. I put in so much time and effort. I feel I cannot compare the two. I hope that people won't think so badly...(I really have a hard time understanding what Goo is trying to say here. What does she mean by "comparing the two"--what TWO? What I gather from her hazy statement is that she still has a lot of pain and unsettled issues about people's negativity. Like all of us, she has the vulnerable side where she wants to be loved, not attacked. We think she is strong because one side of her tells herself to, "don't be brainwashed by the society. Live loudly and strong" (from ElleGirl), but, she also has another side that struggles with fears and ill feelings towards her that could come from just about anywhere. What do you think, soompies? I might have translated badly also.)
Below 12th pic: Lee: So to speak, to them (the critics), you are like a "umchin daughter"="goody, goody, perfect daughter from next door". Goo: someone from a good family... Lee: yes Goo: hahaha Lee: who grew up without problems or strife in a germ-free and clean environment Goo: well, that is not the case. My family was not perfect and we were not rich. Plus I am not perfect-looking with perfect body whose acting is perfect. Definitely not even close. Lee: From the beginning, you were a center of controversy. Goo: yes Lee: Along with Park Hanbuyl and Nam Sang Mi, you became an actress because of the "ulzzang status". Goo: yes
Below 13th pic: Lee: You did not become an actress like many other actresses who had to pay their dues by going the regular route such as auditioning in various talent recruiting contests or something like that. You got there because you passed being pretty and received so much attention. Goo: yes, yes, yes.. Lee: So, you have a complex about it, maybe a will to overcome it, must have had strong desire for it,,,
Below 14th pic: Goo: That complex of course made me want to do an excellent job as an actress. It is embarrassing to stand in the center of that,,,"ulzzang",,,Whever that word is spoken, my name follows. If you break down that word, ulzzang, it just means pretty on the surface. I could not even utter that word. Because of that syndrome, it created a certain societal standard about appearance and moved people towards that aim. I felt deeply apologetic. So, now, I feel sorry,,, Lee: what do you mean, sorry?
Below 15th pic: Goo: not because of anything I did. Of course, I was just living my own life. But because it might become a complex for other people,,, Lee: become a complex? Goo: Because I was in the center of that syndrome, I felt terribly guilty that I may cause somone to be influenced by it. (OMG! What a burden all these years! She must have hated that show about looking for ulzzangs. She did kind of have a complex about it, didn't she? Poor dear.)
Below 16th pic: Lee: As we work, we tend to narrow down and specialize. which title do you want to have ultimately? (Wow, what happened to his piercing questions? It seems like he suddenly changed direction of his question. Maybe he felt bad for GHS? Maybe he did not want to bring out more hurt? Is that what he saw from GHS?) Goo: --that will unite everything! Lee: I guess it is "umchin daughter!" (hahaha)
Below 17th pic: Goo: Just because one studies directing, does not make one become a director. To be a PD, you have to know people, you have to know the psychology of people, the nature of society, I have to treat people well, I have to know art, cosmetology (?), music. If I have to narrow everything down...it comes down to movies. Lee: As the best actor or as the best director? Goo: Both. Best is best. hahaha Lee: Her multi-talents that earned her a biased name of "jack of all trade" or "poking her nose into everything",,,
Below 18th pic: Lee: However, all her work is for one thing only--her passion for making movies. For that one dream. The ambitious actress Goo Hye Sun. I applaud her for her honest hard work.
