The Fly To The Sky members HwanHee and Brian go on a farewell trip to commemorate their activities together for the last 10 years since their debut.

They did that through SBS ‘Close Note’. Their manager said in an interview that this vacation will leave them with some good memories as part of Fly To The Sky before they take a rest from group activities to focus on their individual activities.

The 2 also provided, “It is a lie if we said we don’t fight. We learned to be careful with what we say and be understanding after being together for about 7-8 years.”

They debuted with the song ‘Day By Day’ in 1999 and them appearing on SBS ‘Close Note’ will be their last activity together. This episode of ‘Close Note’ will be aired on 8th May.

>>>I cried after seeing them cry while hugging each other on the teaser of this show.. can’t wait for their episode to be aired this Friday. I hope the subs will be released soon… I WILL MISS FLY TO THE SKY…

Korean media outlets are starting to report what may have caused Joo Ji Hoon’s drug use. It seems to baffle many Koreans why such a popular top star would turn to drugs to end his career. Apparently critics have concluded his drug use was a tool for pleasure, pure leisure. His reason for using drugs was not due to being born with mental defects or stress from work.

[05.05.09] Kang Ji Hwan – The Story Behind His Debut

A person who is constantly consoled by his friends who say “We can’t understand why you’re not in first place,” but can only cry when he looks at his report card. Actor Kang Ji Hwan (32) can be said to be that type of person.

That’s because even though the dramas Kang Ji Hwan starred in drew avid fans, he lost the ratings to the big hit dramas that aired on the other stations. 90 Days to Hwang Jini, Capital Scandal to Money’s Warfare, Hong Gil Dong to New Heart…they were all completely knocked out by the competition.

Switching over to movies, Rough Cut brought critical acclaim, but the spotlight was on So Ji Sub who returned after 4 years in this movie.

I met KJH on the 15th. He started talking in his usual quiet fashion. “My position is a little vague. I’m neither a top star nor a supporting actor, and although I canbe a leading actor, I’ve never had a drama where I got top ratings…”

SS501 member, Kim Hyung Joon met with the press recently and stated that they will take pictures for their album jacket while in America and also meet with some music executives / producers. He also said that it won’t be a vacation and they will be working hard in America… however, he didn’t end it there. He continued by saying that the group is somewhat concerned about traveling to America because of all the talk about Swine Flu. Even with these concerns, they’re not concerned enough to have it ruin their experience in America.

[05.03.09] Kang Ji Hwan’s Interview from Kang Star (Part 2)

Q. What was your parents’ reaction when you finally made your decision to pursue your dream?
A. They didn’t oppose it, but when they first heard about it, they were hesitant. But they continued to support me. Even when I didn’t have any work and I stayed at home, they never asked “why” and waited. At times, that turned into pressure, but looking at it from my parents’ perspective, it must have been hard.
