Jang Geun Suk and Kim So Eun for Maxim Coffee

Korean Coffee Company Maxim Coffee recently recruited popular actor Jang Geun Suk and actress Kim So Eun to model for their advertisements.

Back in March, Kim Bum, who was Kim So Eun's crush in the popular drama Boys Over Flowers was also modeling for Maxim Coffee.

I wonder why they didn't pair Kim Bum with Kim So Eun, since their couple pairing is very popular? Maybe it's because Kim Bum is very busy these days. Anyways, check out the cute CF below:

Kim Bum arrived in Philippines for CF Filming

It was reported by ABS-CBN that Kim Bum had already arrived in Manila, Philippines on 30th September for a CF filming. The CF filming is reportedly to be for RC Cola (Royal Crown Cola), where Kim Bum will work with one of the country's prime young actress, Maja Salvador.

In addition as said before, besides filming for the CF, Kim Bum will also be doing some voluntary charity work, which will go towards helping needy orphans in the Philippines.

And just to point out, Kim Joon is once again the odd one out among the Korean F4, as Lee Minho endorses Pepsi, Kim Hyun Joong does Dynamic Kin (Coca-Cola) while Kim Bum will be doing RC Cola.

With the Philippines still feeling the effects from Typhoon Ketsana a few days ago, Kim Bum's visit will bring some joy to his fans in the country.

Many thanks to jennykoi for tip.

Kim Hyun Joong : SS501 for Le Coq Sportif, Season 2

[quote]Back in April, we reported that SS501 were going to be model endorsers of famous (in Europe & Asia) French apparel brand Le Coq Sportif. They followed that up with a summer theme titled Season 1 - Boys Of Summer and again just last month with a fall theme titled Season 2 - Let's Play Together. Although photos for the latter were released last month, the video was just released recently. In the video you can see some of the 1960 / 70's influences with rainbows, bright colors, hippie van, and an old Volkswagen Beetle-type vehicle.

It's good to see all the members of SS501 together and soon you should see them all together once again because Kim Hyun Joong should be discharged from the hospital today. Check out the video below:[end quote]

Goo Hye Sun & Yoon Sang Hyun for Somang CF

FYI: this is the standard commercial info~ Beauty Credit is promoting their eye cream for men and is made with steamed red ginseng, They introduce their new male model, Yoon Sang Hyun. Bet Sept 15th~Oct 31, people will get FREE eye cream gift set with a special coupon found in a magazine.

Now for the funny and interesting: To the right of the pix of HS and Yoon, HS says in the CF that "men's wrinkles are a sign of not only age but their playboy trait."

I am sure there is more sophisticated term than 'playboy trait'. However, it is the best fitting term for what I was thinking when I read the CF motto. I just thought it funny because, first, it is a strong warning to men to take care of their wrinkles! (hahaha!)

Second, I have a feeling Beauty Credit is going to use their CF's not only to promote but to tell ongoing and developing stories about their two character models; HS will play a sly and manipulative heroine who scares her potential mate, played by Yoon, to never dare fool around her?? (hahaha!).

Third, I wonder if Beauty Credit took the idea from GHS who has been saying at least for the past 9~10 months that her ideal man is somebody with "consistent/ moral loyalty to all relationships with great manners"??? (hahaha!)

CF Translation by susamerica@soompi.com:

Yoon: A man's wrinkle/crease is his charm. Isn't that so?!
GHS: A man's crease simply symbolizes his age (Yoon appears worried) and his 'playboy trait' only.
Yoon: (surprised and worried look)
Narrator: Containing steamed red ginseng, RGII takes away any worries about wrinkles for men.

In bakery brand 'Tous Les Jours' ad, Rain and actress Ku Hye-Seon turn handheld and mini patissier elves, and show their lovely and happy appearance.

Since this ad says these two turn cute and mini patissier elves, not to mention peripheral props had to become bigger.

Pros such as spoons, forks, sourdough, and pieces of almonds, were specifically formulated for the shooting, Rain had to pour syrup, holding a heavy and big spoon in his hand, and Ku Hye-Seon had to act to stud a model of huge pieces of almonds.

It was nearly all shot in conjunction with computer-generated props, it is said that Rain and Ku Hye-Seon also sang CM together after the shooting all night. This ad will be aired on TV from the evening of the 2nd.

Barista Lee Min Ho, "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

Posted on TVdaily, Reporter Lee EunSung, 2009-08-18
English translated by loveminho.com

Lee Min Ho of BOF attended 'Dunkin Barista Lecture with Customers' and graced the event with his presence.

In the 'Barista Open Lecture' held at the Dunkin' Donuts store in Myungdong, Seoul on August 18th, LMH personally demonstrated how to make coffee talking cheerfully with the customers having been selected by the previous promotion.


LMH seriously listened to the lecture of Professor Kim Young-sik of the Barista Department at BackSuk Culture College.

To the question "Do you like coffee?", LMH answered "I enjoy coffee sometimes when I don't want to sleep " and made the participants laugh by saying "As I'm too much immersed in the lecture, I look serious."

Besides, LMH gave the kind appearance to the participants who came to see him shaking coffees and giving them to the people in person.

And to the question of a participant, "What kind of coffee do you enjoy? LMH answered "I sometimes enjoy 'cafe mocha' and 'espresso' coffee. In fact, I am omnivorous", which made the participants burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, LMH's fan meeting was held for about one hour after the 'Barista Open Lecture'. At the fan meeting, LMH had an interview time with his fans and enjoyed playing various games and events with happier atmosphere than ever.

Especially, in the quiz game providing a free hug with LMH or Dunkin espresso coffeemaker the price of 600 thousand won) as a free gift, the competition among the participants reminding people of a TV quiz program was intense.

Meanwhile, since the press from abroad such as the Japanese as well as the domestic media visited the event, we felt a hot interest in the Korean wave star LMH.

Kim Bum and Go Ara for Spris

Filming for Dream and Heading to the Ground, respectively, isn't all for Kim Bum and Go Ara. They have recently done a photoshoot together for Spris for the Autumn 2009 Collection with the theme of 'City Travel'. The intention of the scooters and motorcycles was to show an active look.

As this is their third time working together, the photos came out awesome, but I don't quite think the two look good together - Kim Bum and Kim So Eun are still the ultimate couple! Anywho, check out the shoot:
