Korea’s best celebs impress Japan

dbsk4.jpg
Korea’s top celebs all hopped on the plane and headed for the Tokyo dome to meet with their Japanese fans this week. The media referred to the 2007 Face in Japan as a “premium” event, but I think it’s just a gigantic “show and tell” without any focus other than to give 15,000 or so Japanese fans some face time with some of their favorite stars. Singers conquered the stage with their songs while actors tried to impress with random gigs.

Highkick gang. I had no idea that Highkick was popular in Japan. Check out Shinji’s expression when Suh Min Jung tries to dance. The singer turned actor is not impressed! Ha.

Minwoo – no explanation needed for this sexy yet shorty dancing star.

Lee Dong-gun sang and posed for ladies equipped with digital cameras. Did you know that it has been 7 years since his last performance?

ha-jiwon3.jpgha-jiwon.jpgha-jiwon2.jpg

Ha Jiwon in gorgeous white dress shows us how to say “I love you” in sign-language. I guess she didn’t have time to practice anything new…?

Eom Tae-Woong surprised us by singing and showing us some wacky expressions. Lovable star, for sure.

Kangta looks super tall in his white get-up.

DBSK - long time no see boys. They sure flied high at the event – literally!

Tei’s pants look uncomfortably tight on him.

Jo Han Sun was the bartender for the night, making cocktails for the ladies. He also showed us that he can bounce a soccer ball on his head.

Kim Jae Won aged a lot, but he won the hearts of many new fans with his heavenly voice.

Shin Hyun Joon doing the cutesy dance. I like his gansta image much more, make that a thousand times more.

lee-jihoon2.jpglee-jihoon.jpg

Lee Ji-hoon was the main model for the fashion show prior to the main event. He loves white, just like his best friend Kangta. But wearing parts of the Korean flag at a Japanese event was a no-no.

Kim Min Joon doing the Ms. Korea wave.

Jo Hyun Jae recited a poem in Japanese. Very romantic and sweet, just like his Love Letter days.

    hey, jo hyun jae was there too. in fact he’s got many jap fans. why not pic of him?? and there’s hardly anything about JHJ in popseoul.

  43. 45 popseoul August 19, 2007 at 10:59 pm

    Oh my, how did I forget about Jo Hyun Jae! His pictures are added now. Enjoy!

  44. 46 Kiongna August 20, 2007 at 10:34 am

    Wished I was there :) So many stars in one place WAH, and what you said “but I think it’s just a gigantic “show and tell” without any focus other than to give 15,000 or so Japanese fans some face time with some of their favorite stars.” – and I believe that’s exactly what most fans expect anyway in this inaugral event with so many stars in one place – and later leave the the event feeling so giddy to have actually gotten a ticket and be there!

    But now….the japanese fans might have higher expectations of such events with just ONE star OMO

  45. 47 Chaekyung August 20, 2007 at 10:23 pm

    Wow Im finally seeing TVXQ! Thanks so much! I noticed that Lee Ji Hoon got fat. Not nice!!!!
