Yes, that’s a man (left) and yes, he’s dating Kim Min-hee.

The girl can definitely do better than that. The 27 year old has taken a step down by dating this supposed 21 year old model named, Lee Su-hyuk. But of course, looks are not everything right? As long as the boy takes care of his woman, all should be peachy.

In the past 6?7 months of dating, the 185cm-62 kg waif has given his lady love a morning call (i.e. wake up call) every single morning without fail. Now that’s what you call love.

Three celebs wore the same satin dress in three different colors in three different occasions. Jang Nara in boring white, Kim Minhee in the chic baby pink and Sohee in the cute yellow. Who do you think pops it best?

Same dress worn by two mega stars at their movie premieres. Kim Tae Hee was first spotted wearing that black dress at her disastrous movie, Fight premiere and Kim Min Hee at the highly anticipated movie I Like it Hot.

Kim Seong-su plays one of many main men in the upcoming movie, “Some like it hot.” But the movie is not about the men, it’s about the lives of 3 generations of women facing the trials and tribulations of life and love ? a swinging single 40 something who has has it all (played by the gorgeous Lee Mi-sook), a confused 20?something who can not decide what she wants -love or career (the stylish Kim Min-hee) and a highschooler who is on the brink of being a woman (the cutie Ahn So-hee).

Kim Seong-su alone should heat up the movie. He is definite eye candy. The other men in their lives are High Kick’s Kim Bum, Yoon Hee-suk and Kim Heung-su.

But I digress. Anticipation is high for Wondergirls’ Ahn So-hee since this is her acting debut. Will she live up to expectations? Well, we will find out once the movie hits theaters on January 17, 2008.

Wondergirl’s Sohee and Highkick’s Kim Bum’s kissing scene from the movie I Like it Hot is attracting a lot of attention, confirming the popularity of these two baby-faced baby celebs. The movie portrays the romantic desires of three different women living under the same roof who no longer believes in nae-soong and prefers to be upfront about their feelings. The sexy career woman and single mom is played by Lee Mi Sook, the stubborn script writer by Kim Min Hee and curious teenager by Sohee.

I Like it Hot, directed by Kwon Chil In (Singles) will hit the theaters on January 17, 2008.

However, on the red carpet, it was no secret that the queen of the night was Kim Hye-soo. The voluptuous star gave “fan service” by bringing out her assets.
Check out the red carpet video clip here and award winners and mega post of pictures after the jump.

Black & White

Korean fashion magazines are touting that black is back. Indeed, the red carpet was awash with black and white – again. You would think that if all the dresses are borrowed, the stars would be a bit more daring in terms of color. Or maybe they were being respectful by not wearing something flashy…

Chu Ja Hyun. Sparkle at the neckline to a boring black dress still makes it boring.

Han Chae Young looks washed out in this black. The dress would have been a stand-out if it was a brighter color. Too bad.

Kim Hyesoo’s assets need a post of their own. The curvy star looks fabulous in this super simple but too long black dress. Hope she didn’t fall or trip.

Kim Ji Soo. The sparkles have migrated to the bust area from Chu Ja-hyun’s dress.

Lee Hana. A very Elvira type dress. And what’s that on her head? This is not a wedding.

Song Yuna. Did I mention that yellow was difficult to wear? This is especially true if the colors are that of a bumble bee.

Son Yeh Jin and Kim Myung Min. Not feeling the underwire on the dress…the straps make it interesting though. Again, another dress that would look better if it were a brighter color. This is getting depressing.

Hyun Young. The plain cream dress frames her neckline nicely, but the dress is average.

Jo Eun Ji.This woman needs a makeover. First, her bowl cut does not flatter her face. Second, the white dress has pictures of women at the bottom. Third, black stockings and sheer white dress do not go together. F.Y.I, it was not that cold last night – about 10 c.

Kim Ajoong looks fabulous in this black n’ white satin gown! Her makeup is also flawless.

Color

Finally, some color! Although the favorite color of the evening was red, the dresses, for the most part, should have stayed in the closet. However, Jun Do-yeon’s moss green satin dress was gorgeous.

Kwak Ji Min. A simple red dress that would lovelier with better accessories.

Lee Young Eun. Too much. This looks like an Andre Kim creation. Enough said.

Son Tae Young. Not sure what to make out of this dress. Seems to be Missoni inspired. Something I would not have chosen. The Ralph Lauren dress worn by Kim A-joong at the Daejong Awards was a better pick.

Jun Hae Jin. This should have stayed in the closet.

Jun Do Yeon.Gorgeous moss green dress! Usually, anything bulking up the shoulders is a no-no, but on this dress, it works.

Kim Hyun Sook. The color is very pretty. The fit is great. But… the top of the dress bothers me.

Kim Min Sun. The thin straps on the back of the dress are sexy but the color, a drab purple, looks like an ajuma color. Better if the dress was black.

Kim Taehee. Depending on the screen, this navy-purple dress is a perfect fit on top, but the length of the dress is about 30 cm short of being classy. Besides, it’s just too tight to be that short. This would look better on a sexier diva such as Lee Hyori.

Lee Hye Young. Another closet dress. We know that Lee Hye-young still has a great figure and she has the haughty air to pull off the dress worn by Lee Hana above. Even Lee Hana’s hat would look good on her.

Lee Yun Hee.This purple empire waist dress works on her because she is so thin. The dress look very comfortable, but that’s about it.

Oh Seung Eun. Hmmm. First, I would never be caught dead in this copper color. Second, what’s going on at the top of her dress? What are those frilly things?

The Gents

High shine was the theme for the gentlemen at the Korean Film Awards. If you haven’t noticed, the greater male working population in Korea is wearing shiny suits. So I guess, the male celebrities are leading the way.

Daniel Henney. Such a handsome man but such a bad navy suit. The suit looks polyester and borrowed from his dad’s closet.

Jang Gun Suk. Man, this guy has packed on the makeup but the hat pulls this look together.

Ji Hyun Woo. Wow, an interesting fashion statement. The weather was not that cold so the scarf served no purpose than to add to the sparkley black suit.

Jo In Sung also has dipped into the color lotion for this event. The effeminate star looks great in the classic black suit with bow-tie.

Jo Min Ki looks awkward.

Joo Jin Mo. Sexy Joo Jin-mo is slithery in this ultra shiny black suit. The man look better in jeans.

Jung Il Woo is too much black and too much shine (including his shirt!).

Jung Kyung Ho wears another shiny purple/black suit. Can’t wait until this trend dies.

Lee Sun Kyun and Oh Man Suk are all black except for the white bow tie and handkerchief. Did I mention that class is best?

Shim Hyung-rae represents the working ajasshs of the Korea in this shiny gray suit.

Outcasts

Andre Kim. Now we know his real color, and it’s not baby white.

Jo Won Suk. Ridiculous.

All different shades and textures of black dominated the fashions of the few celebrities who turned up for the Hugo Boss fashion show at the main store in Cheongdam-dong. The normally super stylish Kim Min-hee (bottom right), looks completely washed out. The bare-faced star doesn’t look too happy to be in front of the cameras. Her long bowl hairstyle isn’t so flattering either.

I could go on and on. Check out the rest of the stars.

Lee Da-hae. Black jacket, black top, black shoes, black bag. Who would know that she is wearing all Hugo Boss? Her whole outfit could cost 10,000 won from Dong-dae-moon (DDM) and no one would know.

Jang Hyuk shows a glimmer of the “kalchi” (silver fish) pants that are trendy among the ajusshis. Does this mean Jang Hyuk is one too?

Ji Hyun-woo could be Rain’s brother! The purple, gray jacket, brown scarf and jeans (?) seriously don’t match.

Kim Hyo-jin is the only star who looks pulled together. Difficult to wear, the tartan adds some oomph to this outfit. And because of that, the brown unflattering length of a boot will be overlooked.

Lee Jin-wook wears a shiny eggplant leather jacket with tie and jeans. Everything look good except for the tie. It reminds me of Mr. Rogers. “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood..”

Kim Min-hee is a sad girl. Her outfit matches her mood. Poor thing. I have never seen her look so bad. V. unusual.

Wang Bit-na’s white bra is shiny through as her name suggests. Utter faux pas.

In this gorgeous photo feature representing the women of Korea for the October 2007 issue of Vogue Korea, actresses Kim Minhee (25), Lee Misook (47) and youngin Ahn So-hee (15) look positively glamorous! Ms. Lee, in particular shows us all that you don’t have to dress or act like a teenager (i.e. Hwang Shinyhye) to look fabulous in your 40’s!

At the fashion show featuring the Fall/Winter 07-08 collection for Gucci, the smiling stars were the ones representing the luxury label from head to toe and not the hired runway models. Again, the color of choice was black n’ white, with the exception of model Byun Jung-soo and Lee Jinwook. However, the whole fall/winter collection is based in black so I guess there is nothing for me to say except that I heart Gucci.

Honey Lee  could wear a bag and still look fabulous.

(left to right: Kim Hye-young, Lee Sora, Hwang Ji-song, Kim So-yeon, Kim Ju-hyuk) Uhhh, knee-high boots and black stocking in the hottest day of the year? She’s crazy!

(left to right: Eric, Lee Dong-wook, Lee Jin-wook)

Cha Seung-won. Haven’t seen much of him around. I actually saw him in person and he is much more handsome than in pictures.

Kim Min-hee is always stylish and this time is no different in this floor-length white number. It looks like her hair has miraculously grown back since she chopped it off after her breakup with Lee Jung-jae.

Byun Jung-soo is another star that has fabulous style – the shot of color makes her stand out in the sea of black n’ whites. Also, love, love the Gucci clutch.

Kim Ajoong looks somewhat elegant in the thick-looking black dress. And the hair is also right off the runway – loose glamour curls.

Kim Yun-jin has chopped off her hair and shortened her dress to reveal some leg.

Pulling the look right off the runway, Kong Hyojin finally looks put together and glamourous in this low v-neckline, floor-length dress.

The always stylish Kim Minhee is featured in her new short crop on the April cover of Anam magazine. She recently broke up from a long-term relationship with actor and hottie, Lee Jong-jae and so it’s understandable that she would want to chop off all of her hair. It signals a fresh start. I know, because I did it too. And we are not alone. The urge to move on with your life is what drives women to take such lengths after a big break up.

I am reminded of the 90’s movie, Sliding Doors, when Gwyneth Paltrow chopped off her locks opting for a similar style with Minhee’s. Then there is the crazy Britney Spears who went the extreme route to shave off her hair completely after separating from K-fed (but the girl is better without him!).

Super short hair is the easiest (and cheapest) way to instantly change how you look and feel. The new look will force you to be conscious of the way you walk and dress because you will no longer be hiding behind a curtain of hair. And when you do decide to start letting your hair grow out, it will also signal that you are willing to let the wounds of the past heal as well. We feel for you girl!*
