…bring out the score cards!

The annual prestigious awards ceremony, 46th Daejong Film Awards took place on November 6th. As South Korea’s answer to Oscars, the oldest state-funded ceremony gave out awards in 28 different categories. Such a prestigious ceremony means stars go all out to look good on the red carpet. Tuxedos and evening gowns galore! So whose dress do you heart?

Check it out:

Andre Kim. Like the leaves turning color each autumn, you know when the weather is getting colder when you spot Andre Kim wearing his red tartan scarf.

Choi Kang-hee brought her momma, actress Kim Young-ae. As for the black gown, we are not going to bother commenting since it’s black.

Ga-in of the Brown-eyed Girls must have gotten off the wrong stop. While others are wearing long gowns, Ga-in thinks she is going to a club.

Han Yeh-seul rocks the red strapless dress but it’s obviously too long for her petite frame.

Hee-chul is without his Super Junior crew. Doesn’t he look lonely?

Hong Su-hyun. Can’t decide whether to heart or hate the overload of pleats in the dress. But one thing is for certain, the dress props up her puppies.

Hyun Juni’s dress looks like she got it off the rack from Itaewon.

Jang Geun-suk’s penguin suit with oversized black pointy shoes, unfortunately makes him look like a penguin.

Jang Nara gets lost in her oversized bronze tone gown. And girl looks washed out with nude makeup. And her black clutch looks lost against the dress.

Jin Goo and Hyun Juni. The double breasted jacked fits but the tapered pants are a no. Also, Hyun Juni’s dress needs some cinching at the waist.

Kang Ji-hwan presented the new actor award and won. Who does that?

Kim Bo-yeon and Jeon No-min. Is that a rug she is wearing?

Kim KKot-bi won the the award for Best New Actress, but I thought she was a man. Opps. Could it be that she doesn’t have a lick of makeup on? Or that she is wearing a tux jacket (with what looks like a gray undershirt)?

After Kim Kkot-bi (see above), Kim Min-sun looks fabulous in the heart-shaped, mermaid-tailed dark purple gown. But the color is not that flattering.

Kim Nam-gil. Can’t go wrong with a black suit.

Lee Da-hae. Is that really her? She doesn’t look like herself. She was voted as “Best Dressed” by Sportsseoul.com, but we think it’s boring.

Lee Young-eun’s dress is subdued with a bit of sparkle on the strap. Although the hair is loose and slightly messy, woman looks comfortable but put-together (i.e. not trying so hard). But who knows, maybe she spent 3?4 hours looking like this.

Park Bo-young wears a wedding dress complete with kittenish boudoir platform heels. Does she think she’s walking down the aisle?

Soo Ae. The burgandy dress and severely pulled back hair ages makes her look 45. And even at 45, you don’t want to look your age. Fail.

“World stars” Rain and top figure skater Kim Yuna both command upwards of over 1 billion won (800 thousand USD) per CF in Korea, topping off as the highest paid commercial actors.

Second in line are Ko Hyun-jung, Lee Young-ae, Kim Tae-hee, Song Hye-kyo and Big Bang who receive anywhere from 800 to 900 million won (650 to 750 thousand USD) per CF. And finally, rounding out the top 3 groups, Han Yeh-seul, Yoon Eun-hye and Jo In-sung earn a respectable 600 to 700 million (450 to 550 thousand USD).

With these celebrities endorsing multiple brands, there isn’t much room for anyone else.

Han Yeh-seul is the latest celebrity to endorse cheesy goodness.

The 27 year old actress is the face for “Hola, Spain” pizza (topped incidentally with chicken breasts) for “Creative” Dominos. Yes, Dominos’ new slogan is “creative” ? which in our minds has nothing to do with pizza. And there is nothing creative about chicken on a pizza.   

But check out Han Yeh-seul’s newest endorsement for Dominos.

W magazine (Korea) finally gets it right! The pictures of Han Yeh-seul look absolutely stunning! Maybe it’s all that airbrushing?

Miss Han is featured in the August 2008 issue of W.

Get ready for a new SBS drama starring Jang Hyuk, Han Yeh-seul, and Kim Min-joon.

The trio take the lead in the highly anticipated television production of “Tazza,” based on the 2006 film of the same name (starring Kim Hye-soo). Tazza” will takeover food drama “Gourmet” in the Mon-Tue evening slot.  Filming for the drama will begin at the end of July 2008. And no date has been confirmed for when the drama will air.  The drama is expected to debut in the fall.

The Korean term “Tazza”, pronounced “ta-jja” refers to someone who is a good gambler.
